Shit like this is why you're getting so much flack. It's so fucking patronizing it makes me only want to tell you to fuck off
Wearing a mask, social distancing, and regularly washing your hands isn't living in bubble wrap. Having basic concern for your fellow man isn't living in bubble wrap.
I know multiple people with long covid. I know even more who are immunocompromised who are forced into hermitude because people like you cannot fathom to understand the experience of living a life that isn't yours and how actions completely out of your control can completely destroy your life. Please do some soul searching and find a shred of empathy.
I'm sure the over 4000 families in the past 3 months who had someone die from covid feel similarly to you, that their loved one was not statistically significant and that it's for the best that they're dead so people like you don't have to live in bubble wrap
I lost an uncle and a grandmother to COVID. My heart goes out to all those with loved ones dying from this and all causes.
I’m fine with some rules about basic hygiene and common sense. The ioc doesn’t have those. Why? I’m not some wild antivaxxer out here spouting shit. I’m in here defending this Olympian who did nothing wrong in my opinion.
And as I understand it, yall will just call me names like fascist and plague rat and told to fuck off - Because I simply feel even the slightest differently and have chosen to question this Olympian being under fire.
It's all about "follow the science" until it doesn't align with their opinion. WHO actions are sometimes questionable and the intentions are not always quite clear, but it's the same source of information that was used before, when covid was all around.
Hmmm did the science change or did the engine of capital decide it couldn't afford to have people treat covid in the way it should be. How is advocating for wearing a mask now in the midst of these regular waves no longer following science
