@Big, beat me to my addition to the line, which is now fully correct: "Scott Atlas is free to go full Q after being canceled by Trump, Stanford and Hoover.
> When people cite the teachings of God/Jesus/Allah/Buddah (notably, all written by fallible men) as the reason to hate (abortion, gay marriage, Black people in general, and not wearing masks to protect others), sorry. That's objectively stupid.
lawdude, you are only projecting your own hatred when you mischaracterize what priests, ministers, and rabbis preach. "hate..black people in general.." Really? You haven't seen black people in church before??!!! You went off your rocker on that one you dumb, goofy liberal.
Mitch, you ignorant slut. I'm talking about your Midwest Presbyterian white bread church. I'm talking about anywhere hate is transmuted into religion and vice versa. Any religion.

It’s getting more difficult to get admitted to the hospital i.e. they’re only taking sicker folks now. About half the people who would have been admitted in October are now being sent home to fend for themselves. Applies variably to all conditions, not just Covid.
Fauci, de Blasio, and Pelosi are racist frauds calling for the closing of schools for purely political reasons that disproportionately affect African Americans and people of color.
The COVID data and science are clear: children are not spreaders, rarely get it, and if they get it almost always have no or mild symptoms and recover quickly. Not being in school has negative impact on health and education.
Fauci, de Blasio, and Pelosi are data denier, science denier, racist frauds that are harming our children.
If you have any doubts, ask yourself why de Blasio closed schools two weeks ago, and is re-opening them now. COVID rates are up in that two-week period.

I understand your argument, but that is not how the constitution and law work. Constitutionally-protected actions (religious, protests) get special treatment under the law. Legally-protected classes (race, gender, and the other protected classes) get special treatment that other classes to not.

That is why mask mandates have been shown through scientific studies to be largely ineffective. People pretty much wear or don't wear masks regardless of the mandates. Studies I have seen show about 80 to 90% of people wear masks.
> @Darthamerica said:

Seems to match up with observations. 80 to 90% of people are wearing masks, and cases are increasing even as mask wearing increases.
I think "100% ineffective" is an exaggeration. My belief is they do help, but that help is offset by the false belief in their effectiveness perpetuated by fake scientists and media, leading to more interactions due to less isolation, quarantine, and social distancing.
@tes-s I am seeing something very different. Every household I know of that is COVID infected had some restless teen drag the disease home to their cautious parents.
Masks are highly effective. Do not listen to morons that say masks do not work or are ineffective. Mandates also work to help reduce spread. The willingness of some to promote a narrative that works to kill people, instead of protect people, tells the whole story. Those that continue with an anti-mask agenda are truly evil and bad people.

Great article. My family member that is a selfless first responder is now seriously evaluating immediate retirement thanks to "Thanksgiving" indulgences.
Over time it has been more demoralizing to continue rescue non-mask wearers or COVID non-believers than it is to revive gang bangers on the street in the middle of a gang war.
The selfishness seems to be the last straw. PTSD is setting in. It's akin to working a civil war and finding your neighbor or childhood friend turned on you.
Can you let me know the date that I can begin to criticize the Biden administration? Or will "Scary Orange Man" be the future of democratic discourse.
Nothing will change unless you demand change and stop reflexively protecting the people who gave us Trump in the first place. TPP, NAFTA, no minimum wage raise, Romneycare, endless wars.
You and Neera Tanden are the "polarized left". I am the one looking at each hire, each decision, each piece of legislation and evaluating it through the lense of "who does this help and who does this hurt."
More Biden administration corruption in plain sight. . .sigh

United States citizens are so easily divided over nits that they can easily be wiped out by a virus.
More and more I am seeing other countries have a handle on the virus and their lives are getting back to normal.

Must be the effect of Trump losing the election.
It’s long been, but even they will recognize it by their monstrosity.
