I got a mess of boosters. I'm done with masks.
"Sorry grandpa and disabled people! I don't care if you die!"
You left out puppies and orphans too
7million people are dead without even counting excess deaths and this is how you behave.
And you liberals act like we socialists are the monsters.
What?
Hell yes, I love being a piece of shit who doesn't care about anyone else
Masks suck but they help to not spread it to vulnerable individuals.
Boosters help a bit with that but it will still spread like crazy without masking.
What qualifies as a vulnerable individual? Do they wear a T-shirt saying so, or do we all have to wear masks on the off-hand chance we're near one?
Yes. It's not fucking hard.
No, it's just largely unnecessary. If you want to really protect people DON'T GO OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE. Ever. Stay shut in, it's the only way to be sure.
Shame the latest booster was the wrong one.
