      Yes actually, I wear one by choice and for my wife’s peace of mind, but I think its a stupid thing to be fined for

      That being said, the seatbelt analogy is a piss-poor metaphor for what was going on during the pandemic as seatbelts do not have the negative side effects that masking, isolating, and the vax have been shown to have

          Do your own research like the rest of us, don’t ask me to do it for you. You’ve had 3 years, its not my fault you spent it with your head buried in the sand.

            Lmao. My man I have, and I’m asking you to clarify because I have not seen any of these so-called negative effects from wearing masks and taking the vaccine. Such a cop out answer. It’s almost always a sign that you are talking out your ass if you aren’t willing to clearly state your point.

              You’re not asking me to clarify, you’re asking me to collect links for you cuz you’re too lazy to get out of your little echo chamber where all your favorite publications jerk each other off and promote false narratives. You’re inability to branch out and interact with information that makes you uncomfortable is not my problem. Once again, you’ve had 3 years, there is 3 years worth of data out there for you to look at, you just have to avoid clicking on anything by CNN and the like. I’m not gonna act as your personal link aggregator

                Lmao. I have done tons of reading on the vaccine you ignorant slut. What I’ve concluded: this is by far the safest vaccine in human history, this is the most well documented vaccine in human history, and it’s the single most widely researched and developed vaccine in human history. Do you know what typically takes vaccines years to get through testing? Finding and test subjects, both of which the COVID vaccine had in abundance. It’s been 3 years - where are the supposed negative side effects from the vaccine? In all of human history, every vaccine every manufactured has had every single possible side effects emerge within 6 fucking weeks. Go look this shit up and stop projecting lmao

                    I’ll list everything I read to you if you can go back and specify for me all of the negative effects from the vaccine lmao.

                    Who is regurgitating narratives exactly?

                    The ones who have an actual education on the topic, or the ones listening to angry youtubers claiming they can’t breath through a piece of cloth?

            Funny how you don’t have a real rebuttal so you’ve resorted to childish drawings of pig shit

            “Funny how you don’t have a real rebuttal so you’ve resorted to childish drawings of pig shit”

            You realize, to the rest of us, the far-right “do the research” bullshit is actually worse and more childish than actual drawings of pig shit, right?

              Doing you’re own research and learning to filter out bs is more childish than following narratives pushed by MSM like sheep and responding with pictures of feces when presented with an opposing point of view? Says more about you than it does about me

                “Doing you’re(sic) own research” is a dogwhistle of far right anti-intellectualism. It’s saying “fuck facts, it’s all a big conspiracy”.

                following narratives pushed by MSM like sheep and responding with pictures of feces when presented with an opposing point of view?

                With all due respect, his reply to you was dramatically more effective than me sending you facts and being reasonable and polite.

                Says more about you than it does about me

                It sure does. That I’m stupid enough to think that I can convince flat-earthers that the world is round merely because I’ve made a point of becoming educated, reading studies, and applying my scientific background to separate the conspiracy theories from the chaff.

                  Oh no, you got me on a spelling error, what ever will I do?

                  dogwhistle of far right anti-intellectualism

                  Absolutely false

                  flat-earthers

                  I never mentioned flat earth, and J don’t believe in the flat earth. There is tons more evidence for the inefficacy of the covid vax than there is evidence for flat earth. Don’t pull out the craziest sounding stuff to try and disprove something else. The umbrella retort of pointing at somebody and screaming “conspiracy theorist!1!!!1!!” as if everything you don’t agree with falls into the exact same category as flat earth and the like is piss poor way to make your point and only gains you brownie points with like-minded individuals (although I know brownie points with like-minded individuals - aka fake internet points on a reddit knock-off - is all anyone here cares about)
