New mask mandates in the Bay Area

I can't say I'm a fan, after getting vaccinated I thought everything was over. But I guess I have to do my part to stop the spread of the new variant, as there are some people who refuse to be vaccinated

Look at the nazi tactics going to be put forth by Deblasio in NYC. Bullshit was a stop sign, this guy would be on every corner!

@soar2newhighs Here are actual Nazi tactics. Get your terms straight:

@Human1000 His tactics are IMO nazi. His actions have yet to reach that level but so put nothing past politicians who seek power and dominance.

@soar2newhighs Your opinion is wrong. You are paranoid.
@Human1000 You want to live under a government that sees your fear and uses its power to play you, then so be it.

@soar2newhighs Stop spazzing out about basic health measures. There are something like 140k morons in my city who refuse to get vaccinated, and the local government is trying to keep them alive. If wearing masks helps - well, I’m ok with it. At most, it’s kind of annoying.
@soar2newhighs Because wearing a piece of fabric is exactly like the holocaust. 🤦‍♂️

Guess I found MTG's SW account.

@soar2newhighs You equated wearing a mask to help other people like YOU, with being gassed to death in concentration camps. You have no credibility. You're a sick joke.
@QuixoticSoul OK my comment was NOT regarding masks. I don’t know what is being mandated in your city (SF), correct?
Read about what Deblasio HAS mandated for NYC.
@QuixoticSoul I used to hang out in prepper spaces because I believe in being prepared and live in a flood plain. But it was always fun to watch the groups from the US right wing. All these self proclaimed badasses in camo claiming they are hard as fuck. 2 months into the pandemic they were losing their shit over a piece of fabric and not being able to get a hair cut. Pretty hilarious.
@Human1000 @Human1000 It’s not about masks. It’s about coercion by a government that says if you don’t comply with our mandate we’ll restrict your freedoms and activities under the guise of stopping covid.
@soar2newhighs A vaccine mandate is not unreasonable in NYC. It is a global hub, a former hot zone and in the US it could very well be necessary at this point after about a year of not taking the pandemic seriously so now harsher measures are required to try and stop more mutations that could potentially put us back at square one.

@soar2newhighs Okay, read it. Which one do you equate with which "Nazi tactic."

I need to know which NAZI tactic you think is this: "NYC will require workers and customers show proof of at least one dose for indoor dining."

I gotta know. Educate me.

@soar2newhighs DeBlasio is running the most densely populated city in America, where we had to bury Americans in mass graves last year. He’s doing the right thing with his vaccine mandate and I hope our mayor (who is running the second most densely populated city that has thankfully handled covid very well) follows suit.

Most of our bars are already mandating vaccination for entry even without her say so.
@soar2newhighs It is not under the guise of anything. It is a reality that people like you have been ignoring for over a year which is exactly why we are at this point.


You have the right to choose but you don't have a right to not have any consequences for your choices.

Your rights also stop when you become a danger to the public.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I disagree... a vaccine mandate is unreasonable.
@soar2newhighs That is an opinion based on nothing.


"my feelings are hurt." is not a valid reason to make bad policy decisions.

There is no realistic way to not mandate it somewhere like NYC. When you have an international hub and it is a major health crisis unless you want to start the global pandemic all over again letting people be a special snowflake is not a reason to make bad and dangerous policies.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow You know if these vaccines were so effective, why are some who’ve been vaccinated getting covid again?
And yes it is my right to choose NOT to be vaccinated.
Can you prove those who choose to not be vaccinated are a health risk? Like I said the vaccines don’t always stop the virus, do they?

@soar2newhighs What [i]contagion[/i] were the Nazis trying to stop? Three hints.
@Human1000 Tell
Me!
Human1000 · 51-55, M
@soar2newhighs I don't know, I don't recall what virus they had to contend with. Do you know?
@soar2newhighs And clearly you need a very basic course on how vaccines work. Whether they are 100% effective at preventing you from getting it is actually irrelevant. The more likely it is the better but that is not actually the point. The point is to make it so if you do get it you won't need hospitalization or die. And right now the only people dying are the people who are not fully vaccinated. That is not an accident.


Again, your choices end the minute you become a public safety hazard.


And yes, we have literally over a year's worth of data proving unvaccinated people are a health risk. You think the lockdowns and quarantines last year were for giggles? And again you don't understand how vaccines work.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow if that’s your opinion, so be it.
@soar2newhighs It is not just my opinion. What I am saying is backed by the facts and the science. Not talking heads on Fox (who are flip flopping now btw).

@soar2newhighs I am going to assume you don't have a "Nazi tactic" in mind about needing to provide proof of vaccine for "in door dining." When you use an analogy like that please keep in mind how fucking wrong you are. When there is a "Nazi tactic" I promise you, I'll let you know.

@soar2newhighs [quote] You know if these vaccines were so effective, why are some who’ve been vaccinated getting covid again? [/quote]
In my city we’ve had 1800 covid hospitalizations since December. Six were vaccinated. So yeah, they’re effective.
