Dear woman in my Facebook feed who wants to know why she still has to wear a mask to go to the store.

It's you. You're the reason.

(thread)

You went to parties when experts told you not to. You went to church. You went to restaurants and movies. You had your dream wedding. You flew home for Thanksgiving and had a gathering of 20 people for Christmas.

You.

You whined about masks every chance you got. You wore them under your chin, or off your nose. You got cute and wore mesh masks you knew were ineffective to make some sort of statement. You urged your friends to join you in not wearing masks.

It was you.

You went to the store to berate employees for enforcing mask policies like a whiny little bitch. Not only are these good policies, but the minimum wage guy at the door doesn't set corporate policy and you know it.

You just wanted to go viral.

You literally claimed the mask hurt. That it chafed. That it denied you oxygen. You described masks as a literal health risk. You'd shoot videos saying so in front of people who have to mask for 8 hours a day so you can have a vanilla soy frap.

You're not very smart, are you?

You filled my feed with absolute batshit insane anti-science bullshit. You said masks don't work. You said that the vaccine doesn't work. You posted links and papers from a long list of 'experts' less qualified to talk to the issue than my fucking dog.

You did that.

You kept telling everyone who would listen that the disease didn't actually kill anyone, and when corrected, proceeded to show a fundamental misunderstanding of statistics and probability so profound you singlehandedly demonstrated how Vegas makes money.

It's all you.

Along the way, you talked repeatedly about how YOU're not a member of those vulnerable populations, and along the way made it clear that you don't really give a shit if those vulnerable populations live or die.

You're a sociopath, if you can't tell.

You did this because in your warped, loonytoons head, you think that somehow its libertarian to allow citizens to fucking poison each other, and it's 'freedom' if all our senior citizens have to spend the rest of their lives locked away so you can have an 'Awesome Blossom'.

You.

You know what we could have had? Take a look at New Zealand. Their life is close to normal now. They go maskless. You know why? Because they took this shit seriously. They did everything they could to get to zero.

YOU didn't take this shit seriously. You get that, right?

So if you want to know why we're still asking people to wear masks,it's because too many people listened to ignorant buffoons like you. Stop getting mad at people who understand the science and the people who run government and your local businesses.

Instead go yell in a mirror.
