There is a full video going around, I'll see if I can find it. This cuts off before she gets to always touching, "making kids wear masks is exactly like Nazi Germany!"
It's frustrating because she was applauded at the end. She and her cohorts got up and lied over and over. One gentleman claimed not a single healthy child has died from covid. First of all...LIE. Second, all it takes to be not healthy is to be obese or have asthma. I don't know if you've checked out the American youth lately but that's a huge chunk of the population bud. Third, LIE!!!!!
Last year our school was in person, five days a week, mandatory mask, mandatory social distancing, online synchronous for anyone who needed it. We had 0, read it again, 0 cases of in school transmission.
They've taken away the synchronous option and have stated they will keep masks optional for all staff and students until it is madated otherwise.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" unless you're a public school district in an election year trying to pander to the unwashed masses.
Everyone who spoke up pro-mask stated their medical qualifications. We have an awesome medical community in our district and they showed UP. (You can hear the medical community get riled in the video)
When it was pointed out that none of the anti-mask conglomerate had any medical training, the next gal got up and told us she was a geologist and had a device for measuring CO2 and when kids wore masks it went above safe levels and she would demonstrate in the parking lot. I had to go home and feed my newborn so I missed that groundbreaking display of stupidity.
So many of these people claimed Fauci, Biden, and the CDC were liars and frauds. They brought in unmasked children to testify that they couldn't breeze and almost passed out while wearing them. Both kids are my daughter's age.
I just needed to vent. I'm so mad. We had something we know works and now that a strain that has been proven to be worse in kids than the original is rearing its head and we're fighting about the basics.
I'm tired and I'm ticked.
FP edit: thanks for commenting and making me feel sane the applause after each of these was so angering. It's not so bad when I can think of these people as lone crazies but to see the astounded support was a lot. So, to see the support here is also a lot . Also, just to clarify, the video is mine. I did a terrible job and will own that but it's 100% OC, real life lived awfulness.

Failing to protect your child and manipulate for the sake of the parent is child abuse. We're going to have a really big therapy bill soon.

I can feel my sister (a NICU nurse in pgh) screaming from here (central FL)

Cutting funding for public schools is amplified in the next generation.
Bmxtucker
Ok I’m punching the next anti masker I see.

Lymphocyte, IgM/D (prob want IgM), TLR (pamp/damp is better answer), il-7, redundancy, notch
RemanentSky
You think lymphocyte? I thought there was too much cytoplasm. Figured maybe an atypical mast.

I’m so glad I’m not one of the poor school board members who have had to deal with these meetings for 2 years
aaaaaadddvvveennnttuurrreeee
Don't worry Charles Darwin is joining the board, throwing out awards left and right to her type ?
LucianoIntorno
My wife was. She resigned as we started to worry about whether some nut job would do something stupid. There were plenty of them.
shinoharaliz
Living in a conservative southern state. My school board is fine with masks optional. Teachers can't even mandate them in their own classes.
MichaelMars
I work at a school with morons like this. I fear I will get infected with a more lethal variant and die thanks to them.
Frozenspokes
As a former school board member. My heart goes out to the board that has to deal with these idiots.
Zincee
Someone should have domed her with a flying shoe.
SonOfTheDarkStranger
Great grandpa wants to punch you in the neck.
Cats2cats
Had someone I know say it is unhealthy to rebreath air while wearing a mask. “You know I’m a nurse, right”?
sarahsaurroar
People like this ought to be sent to a deserted island to live together vax free. Let nature sort 'em out.

Did Americans whine like children when rations hit during WWII? I'm only 35 so I'm not sure if our selfish nature is a new thing.
NKato
Yes and people made and sold fake ration books.
GaySocialistLiberalMuslimCommieAtheist
They did, and they were commonly referred to as blathering idiots. Not elected as president.
maincarrot
Rations?! *buys the entire meat section and 4 chest freezers, and fills entire garage in toilet paper and soup cans*
maincarrot
When the town is complaining that 10 people bought all the food supply and complaining about no food, they say "I don't see the problem!"

You always see doctors wearing mask are you blind or just stupid

Euthanasia on the spot
ironballoon
Let them die. Let your mom, your grandpa, your kids all die. That's what there people are saying.
oopstoolate
That lady is a fucking moron.
Blazefast
You can't fix this level of stupidity, no cure, no therapy, no operation.. involuntary euthanasia maybe?
EmptyHouseBurglar
Dangerously so

That lady is representative of about 30% of the US population.

BORGALOOGIE
Also likely never been to Germany. Their mask mandate is in effect and for good reason; they care about fellow citizens, not selfish cunts.
vjbeard6
There sure are alot of dumbass people in our country. Disheartening.
sadurdaynight
Just because you're allowed to speak at a podium where people are forced to listen to you doesn't mean what you have to say is important.
jeips
"when did you ever see a doctor wear a mask?" she asks, non-sarcastically. what a dope.
SPQAAE
I love how she is instantly answered with "EVERY DAY!". and she turns around as if she's shocked and upset over the answer.
TechnoBajr
She has a point though. (Pre-Covid)Dentists and surgeons were usually wearing masks to keep their sweat and saliva out of their patients.
TechnoBajr
In my experience general practice/family doctors never wore masks even in flu season. I don't have much experience with hospitals though.
kerms
People still don't get it's not about protecting the individual, it's about preventing spread.
SwiftyGuy
And the individual because it could mutate after spreading and come back to you
VaultGirl69
I fix computers of doctors. They fix my body. We don't tell each other how to do our respective jobs. It's that fucking simple.
Gantzz321
TRUMP should be publically executed for what he did to the country. Turning a pandemic into something political is a capital offense.
SwiftyGuy
It should be a capital offense. But yes, totally agree.
doctorwhoquotes
Bummed that I couldn’t pass that quiz. There was a point in college I would have aced it. Guess I should get off my pro-vaccine soapbox.
Frozenspokes
Same. But College for me was like 30+ years ago so whatever.
feliscorvus
Is that guy saying no healthy kid has died from covid basically saying ‘let the unhealthy kids die I don’t care’?
AerinLovesCats
This is so frustrating for me!!! I hear people make this argument about adults and kids alike! "It's not killing healthy people" when did 1/
AerinLovesCats
The weak in our society become expendable? The ability to care for the weak is one of the best things about society advancing!
youcanreachmenow
I am so sick of having to listen to stupid people. This is what happens when people say "you need to respect everyones opinion" when its...
youcanreachmenow
Not a matter of FUCKING OPINION! Facts are facts, scientific research can bring to light new information on things we do not fully...
youcanreachmenow
Understand, and we have millions upon millions of highly qualified, altruistic people who we should be listening to!
VolcanoHerder
As an actual geologist, I'm sorry but that bitch is crazy. First of all we don't carry CO2 meters in our car regularly. Secondly, a parking
VolcanoHerder
lot is never the place to do respiratory tests. Thirdly, whatever meter you use to test CO2 for geology purposes is not the same one used
VolcanoHerder
for medical respiratory testing. Also, we know nothing about normal human CO2 levels with our geology training so why would you trust us to
VolcanoHerder
be experts on something we haven't studied? I hate people so much just shut the fuck up, get vaccinated,wear your mask, & let's get thu this
HelpfulCorn
Well she is dumb as a rock, so maybe the equipment applies
VolcanoHerder
I've met rocks that are smarter
pm1001
Masks are primarily to prevent you spreading it to others. I think this needs to be made clear. "But I'm not infected", "did you get....
pm1001
..tested today? No? wear a mask"
apollo1kitten1
As long as the world isn't vaccinated, mask up, u can spread it still,
VictusVonGuyver
When wearing a medical mask, one guy called me a scared little coward. So I asked him why surgeons wear the same mask. He still couldn't >
VictusVonGuyver
figure it out. So I told him that it was to prevent contaminating a patient, it doesn't protect the surgeon. He never thought it through >
VictusVonGuyver
from the expression he gave me. It was if a lightbulb turned on. But I doubt it will stick. Once he goes back into the information Bubble, >
VictusVonGuyver
he's likely going to latch on to some other point. It feels futile and I don't have the energy to repeat 100 times daily.
AgentJohnson
If people don't understand this by now, then there's no hope for them. They're either ignoring the fact or have a comprehension deficiency.
pm1001
A lot of people think it's to protect them. That's what most masks are for. They really don't see these are different. Hence the ...
pm1001
..."it's my choice", "they don't protect you"..etc. the don't see that it's selfish and uncaring. Honestly
pm1001
And really I have never seen it spelled out. All tied in deliberate political bs
AgentJohnson
That's what I was getting at. It's been repeated from the beginning that it's to protect others but people seem to not comprehend it.
pm1001
I disagree, I have never seen it clearly stated, really.
