Just like Tucker Said to.
And then they uploaded it to social media.
If anything, the video just shows the adults being complete ignoramuses.

Republicans are psychopaths. Say it out loud stupid selfish gullible psychopaths. They deserve humiliation and to be cowed under the rock they slimed thier way out of. Make it intolerable for them because of thier beliefs.

(96 posts)this kind of talk does is weaken confidence in the vaccine and reduces our chances of meeting 70% by July 4th.
notinkansas
(1,096 posts)Anti-vaxers are already in that mode. Seeing someone wearing a mask is not a deciding factor for them regarding the confidence in a vaccine.

(65,085 posts)He did NOT get sick.
And, multiple studies (referenced by Fauci) show vaxxed people do not transmit.
So, not sure that's the best example on which to make your case.
ChrisF1961
(457 posts)hes being a jerk for saying people are idiots if they still are wearing masks. He doesnt know who is vaccinated or not or what their personal health situation is. Who is he to pass judgment on them.

(65,085 posts)Moving the goalposts is hardly persuasive.
IMO, the decision to now not follow the science, when we spent 13 months saying "follow the science" is not justified by any amount of logic twisting.
Wear your mask. Has zero effect on me.
But, the science says if I don't wear one where I don't have to isn't effecting anybody either.
We hoped for a vaccine to dissipate this nightmare. We got some more efficacious than most of us dreamed it would be. Finding ways to continue the nightmare makes no sense to me either.
ChrisF1961
(457 posts)That was what my original post was about. And if you dont want to wear a mask anymore thats up to you. Just as it is up to each person to wear one if they want.
The point is and always has been that anyone, such as the people mentioned in the op or Bill Maher, have no right to bash those who still chose to wear one.
luckone
(21,646 posts)a person walking down an unpopulated street and still wearing a mask is an asshole, - in Bills words - its over
Yeah I wrote before on a post here @du that talk like that from Maher can help stir in to what happened in the OP imo and this from the OP link on Tucker in case anyone doesnt know what he said
The people in the video are following the instruction of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who told viewers on April 26 that they should accost Americans they see wearing masks and call 911.
How about it is none of your business why someone is wearing one. They are the assholes not people wearing masks
I_UndergroundPanther
(12,480 posts)According to him as well as a lot of people in my county.
You would be surprised to see how many assholes there are out here.
And we have a high vaccination rate too.
luckone
(21,646 posts)ones cant be vaccinated yet (under 12) and the parents may wear them so then the kids keep them on their face even outside
Hard to tell very little ones sometimes to do something so it is a good idea to model the behavior
If anyone thinks little kids cant get it or will have no problems from it , then talk to my friend who is a specialist pediatric nurse . Many cases of issues after covid in the last year seen and thats only what one nurse in one specialty has seen. A lot of kids are already seeing specialist for a variety of medical problems they already have so their parents may not want to gamble on adding covid when out and about .
They are not families of assholes
Oh but everyone walking around without one now is vaccinated whats the worry? That is BS plenty have not got a shot but never wanted to wear a mask and of course other random little kids they may encounter will also not be vaccinated
Just one of a hundred reasons to leave people alone who are masked
My healthy teen daughter continues to wear one at work She told me with that many people around so close and too many questions about covid variants she does not feel safe yet @ work
Sure other places she doesnt mask and I hope no one hassles her while working although almost all are cool around here -no nutters or maskholes around the area and people mind their own business not others for the most part , but you never know who will catch the mentality that all mask must go now pronto and people still wearing them are stupid or
assholes
Those adults in the film bothering the teens minding there own life are the stupid assholes
People in the media could comment about their actions
not those still wearing masks if they feel they must comment at all on the subject imo
Dorian Gray
(13,497 posts)an asymptomatic infection. Which meant that he did not get sick, nor did he infect any other people. It literally shows WHY the vaccine is so effective.
Having said that, he should stop mocking people because it takes time to let your guard down, especially those of us with children who can not be vaccinated yet in our households. But Maher is douchey. Not a surprise.

I never claimed that he got sick just that he got Covid. And there is no way for anyone to know if he did or did not infect anyone else.
But the point is and always has been that he said people still wearing masks are idiots. He has no way to know if someone is vaccinated or not or if they have any other health issues. Its up to the individual to decide if they still want to wear a mask, not Bill Maher or the people discussed in the op.

after receiving their shots. Like my husband.
For some of us, the point is not moot yet.
notinkansas
(1,096 posts)but I tend to feel that if someone is unmasked they are likely to have resisted masking from the beginning and are also likely to not have been vaccinated.

SCantiGOP
(13,871 posts)Had a nice, middle-aged woman approach him in a store and ask why he was wearing a mask. Said that even Dr Fauci said it was no longer necessary.
He got very close to her, like he wanted his comments not to be overheard, and said, "I agree these things are ridiculous, but my Doctor made me promise to wear one when I tested positive yesterday."
He said she took about 5 steps backward before she turned and quickly walked away, but he did have time to note a certain quick panic in her eyes.

Initech
(100,087 posts)So they're being obnoxious assholes on Facebook and getting upvoted, which in turn encourages other assholes just like them. Seriously, social media is the root of the problem. Tucker Carlson is the megaphone for it.
If you really want to get back at these trolls, downvote them and report their obnoxious behavior to the Facebook administrators. They might think about their actions when they lose their social media accounts. But then again garbage behavior is usually never an isolated incident.

(7,284 posts)I read the headline and I'm thinking why would porn films be targeting/attacking children for wearing face masks?
Now, I see you are referencing the movie industry not the porn the industry.
Wait. No, not the Movie industry, but some jerk off extremists sponsored by Fucker Carlson uploading their garbage on youtube.
Just put it in the porn trash bin. Don't click.
that's my advice.
