Subject: RE: BS: New news on the pandemic COVID-19
Just as pro-vaccine and anti-mandate are entirely separate issues, independent of each other, so are anti-vaccine and anti-mask (as you put it). It's not fair to conflate the two (I'm not saying that's what you intended). If you're anti-vaccine you're probably not jabbed and, as such, represent a big danger to society and to yourself. I'm "anti-mask" only in the sense that I think masks do more harm than good, but I'm not anti-mask in the sense that I wish to be militant about it, making people near me in shops, etc., feel vulnerable or unsafe, and I've always said that it's good luck to you if you want to shove a mask on. If you saw me out and about you would never suspect that I'm "anti-mask." I admire your strong-mindedness, but not everyone is like you, and it's clear that millions of people have been adversely influenced by dangerous nonsense peddled on social media, just as they were by things written on the side of a bus. I'm very pleased to see confounded idiots/believers in magic such as Novak getting it in the neck. Having strict border controls apropos of vaccination isn't the same as mandates inside countries. It's more like a pub saying that you can't come in 'ere, mate, unless you're jabbed... Send him home!
