Covid took over the world around 3 and a half years ago. The shut downs, ended around 2 and a half years ago. The Vax mandate madness ended around a year and a half ago.
Yet there's a small percent of us that absolutely adored every moment of the insanity. Today, I saw a guy running outside in 101 degree temperate while wearing a mask.
I'm pretty sure that there have been 4 boosters now, so that would be a total of 6 vaccine shots these people would have endured to date to feel safe. Yet, obviously they are signalling to the world they do not feel safe, because they are wearing a mask.
At work, there is a long haired Trump hating hippie (used to work in my department) that I see occasionally. He has never stopped wearing TWO masks. Why?? I hate reaching him on the phone because his voice is always so muffled.
Certainly these mask wearing fearful types must have tested for covid more times than anyone else around. My guess is they have all had at least 2 cases of Covid with syptoms and 2 cases of Covid without symptoms. They clearly must know it is unlikely they will die from this disease.
They're behavior is really inexplicable. It kind of reminds me of the savages that worshipped the power of King Kong or some other mighty force of nature whose nature must be revered.
Now it looks like the government might want to return to the mandates again. Most people will think "NO! What a pain in the ass over nothing that would be!" Yet, these people are elated about it. It is like they learn there will be a sequel to their favorite movie.
Does anyone here have a relationship close enough with a person like this to understand what they are really thinking?
It’s frustrating when you know and try to enlighten those you love. They’ve been instructed - by FNM talking heads - to not even look at “the lies” by “non-approved sources”. What’s amazing is how so many of them actually comply. They WANT to believe in their little fantasy bubble world.
Back when they came out with the omicron/moronic variant, I told an NPC that the beasts were laughing at them (the vax-booster crowd) and he was taken aback, didn’t go for the next booster and asked for the link to the Ron Johnson hearing on vax injuries (when I told him about the increase in cancer). I don’t know if he’s been subsequently scared back into submission and has started up his boosters again, but at least I was able to keep him from playing that round of Russian roulette. That little club they think they’re in is awfully appealing to them.
If there was actual footage of a FNM talking head mocking them and they wouldn’t look at it, I’d simply say “Suit yourself. The number of people who HAVE looked at it and have finally woken up to the FNM lies is already huge and growing. You can choose to be one of the dwindling few left clinging on hard to the BS they’ve been peddling if you want. God gave us all free will including that which allows you to make serious, even fatal mistakes. Your choice, your consequences. Everyone else will have moved forward by then.” The very thought of the rest of the herd moving off to the right while they’re left alone ought to scare/motivate them.
