We live with risk.
We live with the inevitability of death & the personal responsibility of freedom.
We live with love, understanding that love has always carried its own risk & therein lies the beauty of being alive.
A vaccine won't save us.
We've got to save ourselves.
We don't trade lives. We don't submit to fear and tyranny. We don't keep families apart. We don't put the longevity of the old before the prospects and freedoms of the young. We don't surrender our dignity. We don't allow democracy to be cast aside.
For this reason, I don't give a damn what the science says about masks. I won't wear one.
Unless you want us all to descend into a joyless, loveless hellscape, neither should you.
There are many things we know are wrong, without the need for 'evidence'. No one needs a scientific report proving that sexually abusing children is bad for them to decide that it shouldn't be done. There are things that we should just be able to understand, as decent people.
Every single person will be dangerously depressed. All the time.
Now, I know that the people who believe masks should be worn will respond to this with things like, "Citation?" and "There is no evidence to show any of that would happen."
Please, try to just THINK about this.
Leaving your house without a face covering will be considered no different to walking around in public with your genitalia on display. This has already started. Children will grow up being denied all of the basic social cues they need for healthy brain development.
