How quickly it went from "pandemic of the unvaccinated" to "of course I don't mask, I have an Aranet" For those still masking, sincerely thank you

"Covid is airborne" While not wearing a mask to announce the bill or pose for photos This is what hypocrisy brings We are no longer bound by truth or reality You all have your justifications, this is what you've spoken into existence

Covid is airborne. There will be future airborne pandemics in our lifetimes. If viruses like H5N1 are the cause, the costs of future pandemics on people, small businesses, & government could EXCEED those of COVID-19. We can prepare for that pandemic TODAY.

I was at work when a nurse colleague came in sick. We had no FFP3 masks. She was in her 30s, scared, had kids at home and could not breathe. A day later a doctor came in sick. The nurse recovered. The doctor died on ITU. Don't tell me we didn't risk our lives. We are not liars.

Some days are good days. This brought tears to my eyes. It’s been a hard road advocating for #boosters for many months when my colleagues weren’t on board. I thank you so much for taking the time to put yourself in my shoes. 💕 #NeverGiveUp

Examples of where I currently mask: crowded stores, airplanes or trains; elevators; and theaters. But given that today’s uptick is only moderate, I’m still OK with indoor dining (though will opt for outdoor if conditions allow) and for going maskless at holiday parties. (3/25)

#Mask wearing isn’t a restriction; it is a protection. Like speed limits aren’t restrictions on freedom; they protect freedom to be safe on the road. Masks protect living life around #COVID19 . Hard for vulnerable to live if in hospital, dying. Temporary common sense protection

The only reason this past week blew up as much as it did is the fact the photo session caught no less than 3 accounts which had that very week claimed mask mandates needed to return and were at a book tour promoting the rise of "anti-science"

If air quality is excellent, there's less disease circulating; both mean less need to mask. The large rooms I teach in have great air so I can lecture "au naturel" (b/c nobody is near me - but mask is always on before, after, & during break). That's a safe normal. 18/20

@glitterbitch__ These people have always been lying and trolling you It's impossible to have not been infected and returning to dinners and unmasked kids at school The problem with "we've never been infected" is there remains no way to verify that claim outside an acute admission to hospital

You simply cannot tell people being unmasked at Costco with 100s of shoppers is OK but a meeting room with one other person is the "real" danger It's neither logically consistent nor reflective of reality We are so fucked this Fall/Winter and seemingly EVERYONE is contributing

@FurnessColin Dr. Furness, honest and genuine question Why is there suddenly pearl clutching about mask mandates when people have been dining, gyming, etc. for all but a month or two at a time? Can PH honestly not see the contradiction here and why no one believes in it's validity?

"What does it matter to you if I mask?" This is THE definitive thread and answer to why so many of us are frustrated by the self proclaimed "advocates" Spread doesn't happen in a vacuum, your unmasked dalliance becomes the source case for nosocomial spread Well done Jessica

The Covid activists who write very defensive threads about how they sometimes don’t mask indoors always frame it as doing risk management for themselves. That’s neat! Pick your own risk! However they get *very* quiet about the risks they are causing, not taking.

@BogochIsaac I do see that but I’m very passionate about not repeating past mistakes. Looking to South Africa in late 2021 gave us the “omicron is mild” narrative and allowed omicron to kill more people here in Quebec in 2022 to date than WT, alpha and delta *combined* killed in 2021.
