The constant negotiation and justification for not wearing a respirator is exasperating.

You have had 3–4 solid years of cherrypicking mask use and foregoing masks altogether.
You have enabled the continued spread and mutation of Covid.
You have played a role, however indirect it may seem, in the disabling and death of countless human beings (and maybe some pets) as well as the weakening of immune systems—permitting more viruses and diseases to spread.

Your way doesn’t work, babes.

Since 2022 and the weakening of Covid mitigation which led to almost everyone you know getting their first “breakthrough” infection, we’ve seen—worldwide—a tripledemic, a quademic, the resurgences of measles and whooping cough, and a slew of sudden cardiac deaths. Just to name a few.

Again. This is 2025.

Covid began in 2020 with a whole lot of death. It was the end of 2021 that your pals started chanting “Covid is Mild.”

Aren’t you tired of trying to justify all of this?
