Now the "carrot" is get the vax and you're safe to take masks off. Obviously there is tons of arguments/memes going around. I was thinking about how any conpany can discern "who is who" (queue passport conspiracy theories). I WILL NOT use the cover story that "I am vaxxed" to not wear a mask. I will continue to not wear masks. How I see it is that story plays into the narrative of "why we need passports; cuz the crazy anti-vaxxers pretend to be vaxxed". It hasn't happened to me yet but if/when someone tries the "are you vaxxed?" line, I'm going to ask them a ridiculously personal medical question like "have you ever had a testicle removed due to testicular cancer?" and see the reponse. At the end of the day it is My Body My Choice and STFU if you are having a meltdown due to me not wearing a NON MEDICAL GRADE mask. Just my opinion.( And enjoy your weekends!)
(A bit of context first. Took my woman out for a Mothers Day dinner, didn't realize we were headed into a car show, so all the resteraunts/bars had stupid long wait times.)
Pt.1: walked into a place to eat with no mask on. It happened finally- a gatekeeper (waitress) half my age tried to tell me put a mask on. I looked at her with a smile and said "Nope, you're violating my medical rights under Hipaa law, Im not doing it." Even with her mask on you could practically see the gears in her head lock up in full mental meltdown mode. Same as the rest they had an hr wait for a table so we left anyway.
Pt.2: walked into another place and was treated well. Tipped the server well and explained to her what and that trying to force a mask on someone was a violation of medical rights. She replied "it's a violation of human rights too."
Pt.3: went grocery shopping (again maskless) and found a "patriotic wig". It's a red/white/blue clown wig, and having a sense of humor I spent $4 and bought it, and put it on soon as I paid for it.
Pt.4: Me driving around with my patriotic wig on while my chick is laughing and telling me how dumb I am. I said "watch this" and pulled into a gas station. Went in with no mask wearing the clown wig. The (maskless) cashier and I were both obviously trying not to laugh and she said she liked my wig! And to her I said "we live in clown world so I bought a clown wig" and we both laughed. You could tell she on some level understood me.
In short what is happening in the world is not a joke or a game, but you want a good segway to people to open the explanation of the clown world we live in, walk in with no mask and a clown wig!? I will continue to wear the wig all over in my travels, so if I get more stories I'll leave an update at a later time!
P.A.N.I.C!
