It’s going to be hard for them to let go. You know those I’m talking about. The people in our midst who’ve made COVID the central focus of their lives for the last year. The friends, coworkers, neighbors, and perfect strangers emboldened to stroll right up to you and tell you exactly what they think about your maskless conduct or your gathering of one-too-many people at your private party.
Here’s to you, the panicky parents who won't let your kids play on playgrounds outside, to the bureaucrats in towns, cities and states from coast to coast who’ve been getting contact highs from your power to demand citizens walk one way up aisles of stores, sit so many feet away from one another, or “make sure you mask is covering your nose and mouth fully.”
One final goodbye to weirdoes who’ve obsessed over silly metrics like three feet versus six feet, sitting every-other-pew at church while making sure you don’t sing, and my personal favorite, headcounts of no more than 250 gathered outdoors because 251 was flirting with disaster.
This week must have come as quite a blow to the COVID worshipers in our midst.
It started out promising enough for them. The CDC warning of “impending doom” and Joe Biden declaring we still had a long way to go. Of course we all know those were totally insincere and empty words because at the very same hour their administration was willfully allowing and encouraging the free-flow of illegal aliens to pour across our southern border with no regard for public health.
The American public simply won’t tolerate their liberty and freedom of movement and assembly to be hampered under the auspices of a public health crisis when the people asking for their cooperation are actively green-lighting a COVID-positive invasion.
Not to mention the panic porn doesn’t hold up when studies are released confirming the vaccines everyone had so breathlessly been waiting for are doing what they’d hoped they’d do. The very same day the CDC director was warning of doom, her agency released a study of 4,000 fully vaccinated health care workers and found the vaccines granted 90% protection from viral infection.
The next day, the CDC released a second study suggesting not only are those vaccinated protected from infection, they also can’t carry the infection nor can they spread the virus. “Vaccinated people do not carry the virus – they don’t get sick,” said CDC Director Rochelle Walensky.
Now it’s true there are many who are still waiting to receive their vaccine. Some blue state governors like Tom Wolf in Pennsylvania are embarrassingly behind schedule in getting the very first group "administered” while red state neighboring governors like West Virginia’s Jim Justice had his state’s vulnerable fully vaccinated within a few days into 2021.
Still and all, President Biden made the declaration for all to hear. Every American adult who wanted a vaccine would have access to it by the end of May of this year. That’s two months left as of the date of this writing. Mark it down on your calendar.
COVID is over as of June 1, 2021. So, once again recapping what we know:
If fully vaccinated, you’re 90 percent protected from infection says the CDC.
If fully vaccinated, you can’t carry or spread the virus says the CDC.
Every adult who wants the vaccine will have access to it by the end of May.
Ladies and gentleman, that means the masks are done. That means limitations to gatherings are over. That means limited seating, stupid rules, and arbitrary, capricious limitations on how we operate our businesses and lead our lives comes to an end, once again, no later than June 1st.
Of course there will be those who will try to move the goalposts as they always have because the addiction to controlling others and living in obedient fear is a hell of a drug for certain folks. That’s been true throughout history. Like the preening Joe Scarborough who this week puffed out his tough-guy chest on his little TV show and attempted to shame those of us who weren’t interested in getting the vaccine or being documented afterward.
"They’re being stupid, they’re following conspiracy theories...they don’t understand because maybe they’re such morons," he bellowed. "If they don’t want to take the vaccine and they want to die, that’s their right as Americans. They can live in ignorance and stupidity."
"Our government, our sports teams, our concert promoters damned well better put together something where you can show your vaccine receipt,"he said.
"This anti-science idiocy, you know, let them do that under a rock or in their caves," he added, concluding "the time to try to reason with these people has long passed."
Poor Karen, er Joe. It’s hard to let go of control and panic and condecention. But the facts aren’t on his side. COVID is a virus 99 percent of people survive if they catch it. Even so, we now know you have a promise from the CDC you’re safe from ever getting sick once you get your vaccine and you can’t make others sick once you get it either. And we know people like Joe trust the CDC completely, right? So just do it and don’t worry about this caveman, Joe. I’ll die and you’ll be Superman standing over my dumb COVID casket, right?
The party’s over, control freaks.The masks are coming off. We’re not obeying you anymore. You’re out of reason, logic, and facts.The rest of us are long out of patience with your hysterics.
It is increasingly important that people rebel and refuse the mask mandates. Just do not comply. It will snowball and get easier and easier.
Sarah Palin Reveals COVID Diagnosis and ‘Bizarre’ Symptoms, Urges Others to Continue Wearing Masks-——
But Sarah says different.... Karen is alive and well.
In before the Fear Porn FReepers show up to tell us how we’re all fools.
no more mask mandate here. stores still try and require them but more and more people aren’t wearing them and nothing is said.
The only place I wear a mask is the post office. I don’t need any lost packages. Ha ha.
Karen ain’t dead, she’s pining for the fjords................
I wish NY dropped the mandate but that is likely not to happen anytime soon. I have been unable to find any reference to an end date. I take that as they will continue indefinitely.
I was confronted by a Karen yesterday - TWICE! I allowed as how she should avoid me.
You’re out of reason, logic, and facts.The rest of us are long out of patience with your hysterics. no truer words have been said, enough already
The only place I can’t replace is The State Store.
“...like three feet versus six feet..”
Who invented all these rules? Bring them to me.😎
I for one am grateful for the worldwide opportunity for individuals to show their true selves, that they’ll believe whatever they’re told and not think for themselves, that they’ll parrot any nonsense because the television told them too, etc. I know better who to avoid.
They know once the masks are gone the jig is up.
There is a line from Roadhouse that I like to use all the time, and it really ticks off Karens when they tell me I need to be wearing a mask:
Opinions vary.
I’ve actually been using it for years on liberal culture/politics sites whenever someone throws out an opinion, even if it’s an ad-hoc attack on me. Sometimes they get very angry. You can tell by the content of their subsequent posts.
But it makes the point. You are saying to them, after they have just “shamed” you with their superior, well, just their overall “superiorness”, that it is just their opinion, and it matters to nobody except them.
And usually they can’t even back it up. And if they can, not as well as I can back mine up.
The smart ones actually “go home and rethink their life”. After all, most of us leaned liberal when we were young, but we outgrew it. Many of them will too. The rest, we call “gray ponytails”.
Covid turned out to be a good opportunity for white liberals to get comfortable with telling black people to be more obedient.
You’re all fools!
j/k
I’m not anti-mask. I’m just really tired of them. And I’ve already had COVID (yeah, but you could get it again...) and everyone who needs it here (South Florida) has already been vaccinated. And it’s hot. And the UV light kills the virus and the gentle breeze blows it into the seas.
Yet within 90 seconds of walking into our grocery giant here in OK, the intercom blasts out a “reminder” for everyone to be sure and stand at least 6 feet apart and “practice safe social distancing”. This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME. The last time I went in (maskless, since I can’t medically wear them), the announcement was run twice in 30 minutes.
There are usually a few other maskless people in there when I go, so it’s most likely not directed at me personally, but it’s getting to the point where I can’t help taking it that way. Am very close to demanding to speak to the store owner and making an announcement of my own — that I’m boycotting them.
Let’s not forget the magical unicorn pee that they sprinkle on every diner’s tabletop allowing them to take off their masks when they sit down to eat.
