The Covidians have mastered the combination of smug malice and determined stupidity. There's a huge constituency for that. It gives meaning to people with empty lives and smouldering resentments.

It’s the same Tornado Star that posted tweets on its front page wanting us to die when the jabs started rolling.

Welcome to my neighborhood, many never took off the masks. Just yesterday a couple were walking back from the park -both wearing masks. Outside

I had a pavement jumper the other day, the first since December 2021. I was out running. Elderly chap walking towards me, masked up in the fresh air, nearly fell over in his rush to get 10 feet away from my obviously covid riddled breath. Sad.

I’m tempted to stalk the mean streets of Necrosis coughing near the masks...

Good thing I have to much work to do...

You should write about book about how to be left alone when you're out jogging!

Well I suppose in the USA the most obvious method would be to wear a t shirt that read "yes, I'm unvaccinated and a Republican" 😆 but here in the UK it just seems to be the mere fact of being healthy enough to run 🤣🤣🤣

These masks are clear flags on who doesn't give a toss about doing even a TINY little bit of research. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

That ought to be a capital offense

"It gives meaning to people with empty lives"... empty lives becoming emptier by the day as mortality soars and fertility drops.

I wonder how much an unvaxxed guy can pimp himself out for to women who are looking for unblemished seed.

Well said, unfortunately. I've wondered if they have some sort of passive aggressive death wish.

Bit harsh, considering they're doing themselves in anyway.

Masks are the perfect symbol and perfect fashion accessory for our anxious egalitarian age, where the demand for existential crisis exceeds the supply and where the crucifix is no longer enough to signal you're on the side of the angels.

They're right out of the Harrison Bergeron school of fashion, where the easiest road to Equality is all of us being turned into faceless joyless obedient lumps of conformity.

The Karenocracy will never part with them.

The irony of that cartoon is that children lost two years of their childhood because adults felt UNSAFE, despite virtually no risk to them. That the left is trying to reposition this is no surprise. That the cartoonist is an old man vulnerable to COVID is no surprise. That anyone still believes this nonsense is still surprising.

When a person says they did something wrong but it was for the right reasons, as Professor Oster stated, you know that when a similar situation arises again, they will do the same thing again. Because in reality, she really believes they did nothing wrong. She just doesn't like the backlash that is beginning to snowball.

Cmon, how could she ever be wrong? She went to all the right schools, knows all the right people, and has all the proper opinions. Impossible!

The pores on masks are too big. If you *really* want to save grandma, you've got to wear a plastic bag over your head. Follow the science.

With a rubber band around the neck to make sure it is secure...

Expand full comment

While I agree with your precautious nature, let's not spread misinformation.

As long as you remain 2.79 feet from other people and unvaccinated pets, the rubber band is not required.

I think you need strands of hemp for that.

1. This may be a distraction from the Emergencies Act Inquiry. The Inquiry has revealed many interesting things (no real surprises), inc. no "foreign money" in the Trucker convoy, and no police or premiers were calling for it. Trudeau knew he didn't need it and seems to have wanted to escalate the situation, as CSIS clearly told him that by invoking it, he would "galvanize the anti-government narrative within the convoy" and could even lead to violence.

2. This may be a distraction from the Bill C-11 currently before the (unelected) Canadian Senate. This is a bill that could have major negative implications for Canadians' freedom of speech online.

3. RSV rates are very high in children right now in Ontario, possibly just a bad year, possibly due to an "immunity debt" of locking kids down/out of daycares and schools. People are understandably upset, but this is the "reason" masks are being pushed. The National Post says "experts disagree" on masks, instead of evaluating 2+ years of data or real journalism.

I have already written to my city councillor, MP, MPP, Premier, Prime Minister, and leader of the opposition re: these new threats on masking. Whether Canadians will or will not comply is hard to tell at the moment, but THANK YOU for shining a light on this. *Edited to add: Dr. Keiran Moore, as reported on by Rebel News, is on the Pfizer board researching a vaccine for Lyme disease, but there's been no discussion on that possible conflict of interest generally.

Expand full comment

they'll comply. They will turn you in for not complying. Canada is a police state now. The US is not far behind. Blue states will codify both medical tyranny and silencing dissent now that the "red wave" never happened.

I seem to be seeing a resurgence of masktards.,

Hope they keep getting all their shots. “Stay safe”, and stay 600 feet away from me. ( Added some zeros because you can’t be too safe.) Safety is everything.

Definitely seeing a resurgence in Los Angeles. Send more alcohol.

Expand full comment

Alcohol helps. So does ranting and hitting a heavy bag. (And that’s not my mother-in-law.) What really needs to happen is to explain to the mask zombies that the masks, all the masks, are made with fossil fuels and are therefore killing the planet and decimating the trans baby whale shark population. Heartless bastards.

shedding is a thing.

Expand full comment

Yes it is! Not only has Pfizer admitted as much, but we've personally felt the effects, as recently as last night when my son came down with a bad headache immediately after attending karate with a class mate who was participating while feeling "under the weather" due to getting his booster earlier in the day.

Some of those twitter comments make me shudder. When asked about the real harms of masking in children, they indignantly stammer “a kid with social delays and problems is better than a dead kid or kids in ICU’s”

Of course, the only safeguard to a child dying or being severely maimed by a respiratory pathogen is a small piece of fabric covering your mouth and nose. Cloth that doesn’t even protect you from dust particles will certainly catch virons 100’s of times smaller. This is the science(tm).

Not me. I was banned off twitter long ago for “hate”.

“Hate” obviously defined as - speech the left hates that doesn’t align with their narratives.

No. That’s not science. Herr Fauci is the Science.

Both my kids had Covid last year and it was nothing but a 24 hour fever. Probably the mildest virus they’ve had since 2020. The whole argument is a ruse.

I am deeply saddened for my province of Ontario... between the idiocy of public health and the horribly woke Toronto Star I could just cry. I am holding on to my hero Brendan at the POEC https://youtu.be/A3zH6HtpiNw He’s the lawyer representing Freedom Corp. at the inquiry into the Emergencies Act.

And there it is yet another attempt to bring to the unruly masses into the fold. Make no mistake this is political. There have a been a few successful lawsuits against firings over covid vaccine mandates, there will be more. In addition to suits over vaccine side effects which may not be brought against pharma companies but can be brought against employers and schools.
