This is important: reading mis/disinformation online can have REAL LIFE consequences. For example, and I& #39;m very concerned this is going to escalate, fights are breaking out in stores across the country about people wearing a mask... (THREAD)
Like in Miami: "Maskless Publix Shopper Goes on Rant: "There& #39;s No Pandemic! Fuck You!"" @MiamiNewTimes https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/video-miami-publix-shopper-rants-about-masks-false-flag-pandemic-11634354">https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/vide...
In Staten Island, NY: "Shoppers at Staten Island grocery store scream at woman for not wearing mask" @CBSNews https://www.cbsnews.com/news/shoppers-at-staten-island-grocery-store-scream-at-woman-for-not-wearing-mask-2020-05-25/">https://www.cbsnews.com/news/shop...
Another one in Florida: "Video shows a man screaming ‘fake pandemic’ at a Florida officer over wearing a mask in a grocery store" https://fox8.com/news/video-shows-a-man-screaming-fake-pandemic-at-a-florida-officer-over-wearing-a-mask-in-a-grocery-store/">https://fox8.com/news/vide...
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: It& #39;s not clear *why* some of these people were not wearing masks, but you can see how tense everyone is and how quickly things escalate and I& #39;d be some of these folks read some bogus stuff online.
And with states like New York saying businesses can deny entry for people not wearing masks... https://patch.com/new-york/chappaqua/s/h4myj/ny-order-will-allow-businesses-to-deny-entry-for-not-wearing-mask?utm_source=alert-breakingnews&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=alert">https://patch.com/new-york/...
And Virginia, mandating people wear masks in public, indoor spaces https://www.foxnews.com/health/virginia-mandates-coronavirus-face-masks-as-state-sees-biggest-daily-spike-in-new-cases">https://www.foxnews.com/health/vi...
I& #39;m getting worried about where this is all going.
Reminder: you should wear a mask! That& #39;s the current guidance from CDC. Watch this recent fact-check from the @MediaWise Teen Fact-Checking Network. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x6JNrCaljw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Videos like that terrible Plandemic & #39;documentary& #39; made bogus claims about stuff like the effectiveness wearing a mask... watch this fact-check video on that bit 4:30 into this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOaMSC034nY&t=3s">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
