TheMASKPoliceTheMaskPOLICE - Everyone Loves the Mask Police?!! When the mask mandate ended in West Virginia, it was far more satisfactory to burn those darn things versus burning bras in my years. There are different schools of thought on the masks. I respect them all. I had the option of staying home and having amazon deliver groceries, I would mask when I absolutely had to shop and socially distance myself from anyone masked or unmasked. When the vaccine became available I opted to take it. Nevertheless, I can respect someone who make difference choices. Frequently, it was the y0unger people taking the risks and hits. My step-s0n is an essential worker a Convenient/Fuel Station. It is possible to fuel without going into the store but they have to go inside to beer and lottery tickets. He had a mild heart attack a few weeks before the pandemic and his wife is on dialysis. He masked and kept on working. My older s0n is also an essential worker. He monitors the pipelines to protect the environment. He caught the FiretrUCKING virus a week after getting the vaccine despite masking work. Everyone in the work room caught the virus. He felt badly, took days off, and returned to work minus his ability to savor the taste of Cherry Coke Zero. My y0unger s0n is in the concession business. He was a Fair in Florida when the pandemic . The Fair was shut down, and the entire crew had to return to West Virginia and go into quarantine. He said that it was the longest vacation that he ever had. He found a and they played disc golf, and did a lot time on the hiking trails He turned the into a and now they are both back on the road. What I find annoying are the Mask (now Vaccine Police!) They get on social media and rant on what other people are doing or not doing. I made the choices that are best for my personal scenerio. I respect others who make different choices. I know a Vietnam Veteran who was told that Agent Orange was harmless. Yeah Right! His doctors are not even suggesting the vaccine for him. His girlfriend's mother was in long term/ palliative care. She was diagnosed with Covid a few days after she received the vaccine. She died shortly afterwards. The cause of death was listed as COVID-!9. Yeah Right! Follow the $$$$ and the true motivation - statistics and $$$$$ - can be found. Masking certainly didn't help the woman's grandkids (both essential retail workers) from getting Covid nor is there any guarantee that the vaccine will work. Different Choices, Different Scenarios - I am very happy to be part of the herd that provides immunity for other. NAMASTE!!!!!  Abracadabra  |

Mask can be a nightmare for the hearing impaired. I was surprised about how dependant I am on being able to read lips until they were all covered up. Abracadabra

What??? Are you saying that people should evaluate their own health issues, consult with their doctors, and make decisions based on their own situations? What a novel idea. I am not anti vaccine, but I am against other people trying to tell everyone what they should do in any given situation. Nobody can walk in someone else's shoes. Everybody's issues are different. If my neighbor choses to not get the vaccine, that is his/her decision. If he/she choses to get the vaccine, that also is his/her decision. It is not mine to make for someone else. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Joe had to take his off at the doctor's office because the nurse could not get a good oxygen reading with it on. She said they were also having that problem with school kids who were there for their physicals. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I never wore a mask, they weren't mandated at the time I got COVID. Told to go home, the emergency room doctor said there was no medicine for it. If I got worse I should return to the hospital. I thought I was going to die, really, I was that sick. Five days with fever, couldn't eat, could barely stand, but I still went out to feed the animals. I think that is what saved me, making myself get up and move around. Drank hot tea, soup broth and lots of water, took my vitamins, slept a lot. The next week I was getting better and in about a month I was almost back to normal. That was the last time I was sick in a year and a half, which is weird, because I usually catch some kind of flu in the Fall. I got my herd immunity the natural way, my doctor does not recommend the vaccine for those who have had the virus.

They are saying that now that about 95% of people that are Dying from Covid are Unvaccinated. Another 2 or 3 % have had One shot and the other 2 or 3% have been fully Vaccinated BUT those 5% that had been vaccinated most likely had Covid already before getting the vaccine or had extensive pre-existing health problems. Haven't researched yet about current Vaccinated that get Covid and survive but results most likely are similar.

I have worn a mask all along during the Pandemic. I have heard if you have had the virus and if you get the vaccine you will have a reaction to it. I am still wearing the mask in public places and will continue to do so to protect myself. In Canada we were a lot more stricter about wearing the mask. Interesting today when I was shopping for my groceries the arrows in the aisle ways have disappeared, the barricades at the cashiers are gone and the hand sanitizer is also gone. But the majority of people are still wearing masks so guess they ae thinking the same way as me.

Well I don't respect the choices others make not to wear a mask. it's not an issue of freedom at all. That decision is a pre-meditated plan to toss concern for others to the wind and it significantly, and negatively impacts society's ability to contain and defeat the health threat that has harmed so many people already. Once we know what we need to do, and why we need to do it, refusing to cooperate on some other irrelevant grounds is foolish when the consequences are so great. This whole affair has been hard on everyone. I my heart breaks for those families who have lost so much and the pain and suffering of those who have fought for their lives deserves acknowledgment. Wearing a mask is an annoyance, but not wearing one when it is clearly an effort that can help is a bigger one. We had a chance to do it right...and we failed because our President at the time lied to all of us, and many even after learning the truth caused even more damage. I personally wrote about the danger of this Pandemic way back early in January, after reading an obscure article on the matter. I was concerned then, warning that I thought big time trouble was on the horizon. My worst nightmare unfolded just as I had feared. The mask could have saved thousands of lives, and the truth even more.

That was January of 2020, a year and a half ago. It wasn't surprising that nobody listened then either.

I always wore the mask. I had to ask myself ----WHY NOT? Plus it respects others. Now I see a few beginning to wear them again. I may soon do the same. More cases are being reported in surrounding counties now each week & it is not FLU season. The dancing may have to stop once again. LOL

It was an easy simple choice------I didn't think the mask would kill me------The virus might. My momma didn't raise a dummy. LOLOL Party On!

WHAT YOU ARE SAYING HAS BECOME A BIG ISSUE HERE. THE GOVERNMENT IS PUNISHING THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT THE VACCINE, WE STILL NEED MASKS AND THERE ARE NOW DEMONSTRATIONS TO DEFEND BASIC CIVIL RIGHTS. SOME PEOPLE WHO SEEMED TO DEVELOP COVID PROBABLY ALREADY HAD IT BEFORE THEY RECEIVED THE VACCINE AND FOR SURE SAID VACCINES HAVE BEEN ADMINISTRATED TO PEOPLE WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED ANY. BUT HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE DECREASING DESPITE THE RISING NUMBER OF CASES SO THE VACCINES SEEM TO BE AT LEAST SOMEWHAT EFFICIENT. I PREFER TO HAVE THE CHOICE AND WILL ACT ACCORDINGLY THE SAME AS I WOULD ON OTHER HOT ISSUES. i WANT CONTROL OVER MY LIFE AND SEEM TO HAVE LESS AND LESS.

Kudos to the educated people in both Administrations who have been doing a fine job of educating the Country about Covid. The information is out there ... do what you want with it. The only thing important to me at this point is that Businesses are free to decide on their own mask mandate OR a vaccination mandate as they see fit ... and that they remain free to refuse service to any and all unwanted individuals. Period.

Dusty recently I took the wife to an eye specialist 120 miles away. Luckily we had masks in my truck and there was a sign with several covid restrictions on the door. The one in HUGE print was-----If you have not been vaccinated DO NOT ENTER. We were safe on all of it but there was no warning because it was a referral appointment. A non vaccinated would have been sorely disappointed. Now if we plan to go somewhere it is wise to call for permission rules. LOL

Are you going to be fine with it when businesses refuse your business because you don't want to wear a mask or get vaccinated?

MsJoe sure, but lets take it a little further than that .... Are you going to be fine with it when businesses refuse your business because you don't want to wear a mask or get vaccinated? Are you saying they are like the unwashed lepers that should be confined to colonies, or do you expect the unvaccinated to wear a label, like the Jews had to wear in Nazi Germany so they can ostracized? Those who have been vaccinated should have no fear of being around someone who isn't, should they? After all, they are now immune, aren't they? Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

You said, "MsJoe sure, but lets take it a little further. Do you think a business has the right to refuse service to you if you refuse to follow their mask mandate?" Again, you assumed that I wouldn't..... but I believe a business has the right to set their own standards and people either abide by them or shop elsewhere.

You are making the assumption that I don't. Many people, who have had the vaccine or Covid still respect the right of everyone to make their choices based on their own health issues and concerns. What about those whose doctors have advised them to not take the vaccine? Are you saying they are like the unwashed lepers that should be confined to colonies, or do you expect the unvaccinated to wear a label, like the Jews had to wear in Nazi Germany so they can ostracized? Those who have been vaccinated should have no fear of being around someone who isn't, should they? After all, they are now immune, aren't they? And those scenarios you describe.....that's just crazy talk....

The question is simple ... do you support businesses who refuse service to those who aren't wearing a mask or have proof of vaccination .. or whatever Covid mandate they see fit? It's predictable, that's where the next Covid fight is going to be.

The comments that I deleted were abusive toward another member. This blog is my personal space. I don't mind respectful discussions about differing opinions. I won't allow someone to abuse me or another in my home, why should I allow it in my blog. Abracadabra

My blog was on to mask or not to mask along with the pros and cons of the vaccine. You used my blog as an opportunity to slam a woman with different spiritual beliefs than yours. Now you are calling me names because of a political party different than yours. When you post abuse on my blogs DELETE DELETE DELETE . Nepenthes plants only grow in tropical regions which is not West Virginia, Illinois nor my Blogs. Maybe it grows in the Carolinas and sometimes finds it's way to Canada. Abracadabra

It's really interesting to see that the people who support those who won't take the vaccine by bringing up bodily autonomy, who yell "My body my right" are the same people who call themselves "pro life" and are adamantly against bodily autonomy when it comes to women's reproductive rights. The level hypocrisy is stunning.
