I’m not sure if this is a request for you all to tell me it’s hopeless and to stop or whether that last one might have had any effect.
She parrots far-right talking points that don’t stand up to logic nor good sense and that even Fox has started to back away from. No you don’t build up carbon dioxide from wearing masks and wearing one won’t make you pass out.
I’ve never heard of a surgeon fainting on the job, I said. (Much less every single one every single day, you’d think word would get out, right?)
But I do not want her nor her family to be injured nor die of Covid, which she seems to have dismissed at this point as mostly a far-left conspiracy. It can’t happen to them, is the subtext again and again and again. If she pronounces it loudly and publicly and often enough it has to be true.
It is wearying and worrying but at the same time I don’t want her to try to prove herself right by giving her anything from me to be defiant against.
I do not know how to help.
Masks are useless, the CDC said they were unnecessary, people are dupes for wearing them. (Translation: people will see me and ridicule me.)
Never mind what the CDC is saying now about how important they are. Much less the attempt by a Trump appointee in the earlier pronouncement to save them for medical personnel because the Administration had totally bollixed up the supply inventory–it was a face-saving, jaw-dropping falsehood to anyone with any experience with compromised immunity and they backed away from it later.
A new day, a new post. She railed against them yet again.
Sometimes you have to distill it to its essence and you have to make it personal and relatable.
I answered simply this: Would you rather be coughed on by someone who’s wearing a mask or someone who isn’t?
