I Stopped By The Grocery Store Yesterday And The Amount Of People Not Wearing Face Masks Was Truly Stunning.

I stopped by the grocery store yesterday and the amount of people not wearing face masks was truly stunning. Employees and customers. And sorry, but I couldn’t help but notice that the white people not wearing masks (it was all white people) seemed almost giddy. Like it was a big fucking celebration or something. I got in and out as quickly as possible, but I counted only 5 people wearing face masks. In the entire store. Joe Biden and the CDC are wrong. Low paid essential workers are being put at risk needlessly, and the antivaxxers & anti-maskers are going to cause this pandemic to last longer than it needs to. Conceding to these willfully ignorant people was a political calculation, not one based in science. We are nowhere near achieving herd immunity. The frustranoyying thing is, you know that people would be having a fit if the exact same “it’s safe to go maskless” decision was made under the Trump administration. But like most things political, hypocrites view the exact same actions as acceptable when “my team” does it, because somehow “it’s different” then.

Wearing a face mask is not a hardship. And contrary to what conservative white Trumpsters apparently believe, nobody is being oppressed by getting vaccinated.
