A rollicking F train subway ride last night wherein a maskless anti-vaxxer started lecturing the otherwise fully masked car about the evils of Covid vaccinations:"If you're a woman, you can't get pregnant." People I was sitting silently in the car with began booing him loudly
"Maskhole!" "Shut the f--- up!" "Shut the f--- up and your dumb mouth!" The anti-vaxxer claimed science backed him up. The younger woman telling him to shut up said "I'm a scientist." The older man calling him maskhole told him "I'm a scientist too."
He started arguing with the male scientist and asked him what he saw under his microscope. He said, "I'm a biostatistician who looks at Covid, and you're wrong." The anti-vaxxer said to the statistician (who had bushy eyebrows & longish hair) "don't tell me I'm wrong, WARLOCK"
The best part in my view: the young female scientist said, "don't insult my religion"! Meanwhile the guy in the side seat who told him to shut his "dumb mouth" kept arguing w/the man the loudest & longest while telling everyone to stop engaging w/him bec. he wasn't wearing a mask
And announced he wrote government policies to protect people. A part of me wanted to watch the scene continue to unfold and see what else the people around me were going to reveal about themselves, but I prudently got off at the next stop to sit in a different car
