Humans also have tremendous capacity for evil and may have done a lot in their lives. Them dying may help protect an innocent person or child who couldn't get vaccinated from dying. I agree it's regrettable they couldn't do better with their lives, but they are doing good with their deaths.

Are you trying to get me to say you're a better or more compassionate person? Every time an anti-vaxxer or anti-masker dies, there's one less anti-vaxxer or anti-masker that can transmit the virus or speak out against measures that can protect lives. That's why I revel in their deaths.

I would have called it a false equivalency if I thought someone that stupid was worth trying to reason with.

@JeffMurray ok, still a logical fallacy

@FearlessFly Agreed. Both could fit. I was just using that as a lead in to call him an idiot.

Exactly. Every time an anti-vaxxer or anti-masker dies, there's one less anti-vaxxer or anti-masker that can transmit the virus or speak out against measures that can protect lives. I don't think it's harsh at all to want to protect lives.

@BD66
When and where was that photo taken? Recently in Miami?

@Scott321 No that was a different time when she went out to a ball wearing a $35,000 gown that said "Tax the Rich" on it.

There's a huge difference between not wearing a mask when you feel the likelihood is low (say in a group of all fully vaccinated people) and actively spreading misinformation like masks/vaccines don't work and people shouldn't ever use them.

@JeffMurray They are indeed different, but I'm not sure which one is worse:

1. The Democrats with their "Do What I Say, Not What I do Policy"

[bbc.com]

2. Fauci admitting that they lied to the American Public, telling them "Masks were Unnecessary"

3. The lunatics who believe wearing a mask will impinge on their freedom.

4. The lunatics who believe they will be harmed from CO2 buildup if they wear a mask.

It's a tough call which parties have done the most damage in this 2 year shit show.

@BD66 You didn't seem to know the difference when you posted. If you did, that would mean you knowingly posted an idiotic false equivalency.

I do know which is worse. And I do understand why Fauci lied and commend him for it. Only an idiot would think telling people to wear masks could cause more harm than telling people it's dangerous to wear masks.

@JeffMurray

In March, 2020, Fauci lied and told people "You don't need masks"

Then he told people "We lied to you because the medical people needed the masks"

If Fauci and any honesty, integrity, or common sense he would have been telling people how to make homemade masks.

@BD66 But that's not what would have happened, and you know it.

@JeffMurray Here is Fauci lying to people telling them they do not need masks:

Here is Fauci explaining why he lied to people:

@BD66 If you think, as those anchors did, that "people would have listened" you're blind. People hoarded fuckin' EVERYTHING. Not even shit that would help you. EVERYTHING. You couldn't buy toilet paper for months for fuck's sake. People were hoarding, price-gouging, and reselling medical supplies left and right. As a healthcare worker who has worked with covid positive patients since the beginning of the pandemic, who couldn't choose to stay home as a method of protecting myself, I'm glad that the government did what it could to protect the supplies we needed to protect ourselves while we saved lives. The masks that went to the hospitals, instead of someone's closet and eBay page, may have prevented a collapse of the healthcare system. Even now, we are struggling keeping staff healthy and the National Guard has deployed 2400 troops to Ohio hospitals to help get the jobs done.
