I was in the same boat, then COVID started spreading like wildfire. They stopped enforcing social distancing, suspended training but still required trainees to stay in close proximity with CPC's, and did nothing to mitigate the spread. So fuck them masks
Oh I don’t disagree the FAA logic on all of this is totally ridiculous and I can see why half of the facility/agency doesn’t care. Especially when the union can’t wait to get back to their social club events. It’s all been so poorly handled.
 
The big problem is they posed the masks as “protecting” you from catching it, when it should’ve always been presented as a way to prevent you spreading it to others. A more consistent message (and not the fear of masks being unavailable if they said to wear them), as well as a not-antagonistic White House would’ve really helped the overall climate.
Did they pose it that way? I feel that must've been short lived. The dems jumped on the virtue signaling pretty much immediately, and as I understand it, virtue signaling only works with the message that it protects others (because we can volunteer to not protect ourselves, that's not selfish, but if we don't want to protect others, we're bad people)

To Taco's point: For my part, I've always felt there's a difference between passive assholery and active assholery. Not caring about people ODing... that's passive. If you don't wear a mask when it's recommended, that might be passive too (I never wear one where not required)

But if you're rallying against masks, making up shit about them, screaming that they do nothing, etc... that's active assholery.
On the other side of the fence, telling someone to put on their mask or criticizing them for not, that's assholery too (with the exception being store employees who have to tell customers where required).

I don't critique people for not wearing a mask (actually, I've been the one critiqued), but I will push back about inaccurate/false claims.
 
If big government says is bad, is good.
And vice versa.
They want to be outraged about everything. But I wouldn’t call someone that wants to get the antibodies injected in them after they get Covid instead of getting the antibodies from a vaccine before they get Covid smart.

Isn’t this the same argument against the vaccine?
No. Because the vaccine also gives you killer T cells that fight the virus. Even through omnicron the vast majority of hospitalized are unvaccinated. None of this is an opinion. It’s widely available information posted all over the internet

It does explain why there’s so many breakthrough infections tho

I took the "experimental" comment to be a joke (maybe I misread)
My understanding was that monoclonal treatments were working and ok'd by govt on delta/original strains, but that they halted treatments because they weren't helping against omnicron. With one exception that is still ok'd by govt.

Banned treatments by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly and Co.

One still okay: sotrovimab from GlaxoSmithKline and Vir Biotechnology

I honestly don’t know how all of you can keep up with all of this. I think I’ll just stick to ask the doc for a recommendation and do a little research if a second opinion was given. Maybe I’m just simple minded, then so be it. Thanks for the responses.
 
The monoclonal anti bodies don’t work against omicron. What’s there’s to understand
Vaccines abs boosters don’t work against Omicron either… that’s why everybody is getting it, then they get the antibodies from it, which is great.

Yeah I don’t care about people wearing masks when they chose to. But also don’t come close to me to ask me to put my mask on.

To that guys point about me being an asshole. Ok? Everyone is an asshole one way or another, there’s good abs bad people in this world, most are talk (like him) and talk is cheap. Like go do something like volunteer without telling people.

This is a cruel world.

It's always the ones who want that justification every chance they can get. They feel like they're helping by wearing 3 masks and policing everyone else's personal medical decisions.

Yeah, they act like they get paid to police. I’ve seen people stand around and turn in people to management (not work). And stand around to make sure you are doing it - worst type of people.
 
I would agree that if you're standing around a store where masks are required with the express intent of being mask police, you are worse than the people who aren't wearing their masks.

But, I'd be willing to bet there are faarrrrr fewer people standing around stores policing than there are who knowingly refuse to wear a mask in a business that requires it.

A public business can't require a personal medical device. It's all bullshit. Sorry, not sorry.

What is a public business, last I checked telling businesses what they can and can’t do is communism. This whole mask thing is a question of empathy and respect. Other countries do it because it’s courteous to not spread your germs around like a dick beater, you guys just think you have the freedom to do everything and people telling you are a jackass hurts your feefees
