win. What a lovely example to set for our children.

Might makes right. I hope they all get COVID and never draw another full breath of air as long as they live.

As for myself, I'll continue to take all precautions to protect my health and the health of others.

6. Yeah, me too. I have absolutely no sympathy left for anti-vaxxers, only-vaxxers, and anti-maskers

Let them just keep getting Covid over and over again and risk long Covid and other terrible complications like some people I know! I will upgrade my mask even further. I've been wearing KF94s and 3m Auras, but now I'm going to buy an elastomeric respirator to protect myself from these germ spreaders.

but they make certain everyone loses. That would be a more apt assessment than them winning I suppose.

We can never hope to defeat the COVID virus without cooperation from everyone, and these childish brats are going to make sure that never happens.

They're the neighborhood bullies, and they're going to do what bullies always do: make sure they're getting all the attention to the detriment of everyone else. It's their way, or no way at all. And they will die, but how many innocents will they take with them?

5. Masked up passengers are going to be put under the cosh by the QMAGAt crew. I can see

brawls still happening as the anti-maskers will claim child abuse by the masked (who now will no longer have the law to fall back upon), and also that the masked people are actually (insane but you know they will go there) the ones spreading Covid.

I flew 6 hours on AK Air from Hawaii to Portland, OR…then got stuck in their snow storm last week and it took 18 hours to get home from Portland via Seattle…I wore a mask the whole time except when I was eating. I didn’t get so much as a sniffle. Masks work. This is really short sighted.

don't want to deal with the bad behavior of the anti-mask bullies 😤, so they'll stop mask mandates altogether.

The bullies won't stop there though, bullies never do.

10. A Trump-appointed federal judge in Florida struck down the CDC's mask mandate on planes and trains

Apr 2022
A federal judge on Monday struck down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's face-mask mandate for airplanes and other modes of public transit.

Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle wrote in her decision that the CDC exceeded its statutory authority with the order.

"Our system does not permit agencies to act unlawfully even in pursuit of desirable ends," she wrote, acknowledging that the CDC imposed the mandate to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

In response, the Biden administration said the Transportation Security Administration would stop enforcing the mandate but that "CDC recommends that people continue to wear masks in indoor public transportation settings."

11. Airlines have wanted it gone.

Politically, I’m glad it’s gone. You will find out Biden feels the same when the administration does little to nothing to fight the ruling.
