I mean you are free to keep masking, but the rest of us have paid our dues and aren't going to live the rest of our lives in constant fear. Its nothing persona

I mean you are free to keep masking, but the rest of us have paid our dues and aren't going to live the rest of our lives in constant fear. Its nothing personal, but if you're in a uniquely high-risk position its typically on you to take precautions, not every other living being in your country.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?”—what I said—is not nice. “Maybe just don't even go out in public!” is not nice either. It did not at all have to be that way that my unborn and newly born child and his mother— both high-risk-from-COVID—were in extreme social isolation during the pandemic. We weren’t isolated because we isolated ourselves. We were isolated to our surprise and grief because people simply dropped out of contact due to the hostile socially accepted sentiment captured so well by “Maybe just don't even go out in public!”. Not nice. Not nice at all. There was a gross and ugly and blatant societal failure to protect infants. Infants. I ask again: Who are you fighting? What is the cause?

  COVID-19 was never a significant risk for infants. The death rate in that age group was miniscule.

    An unborn child is strictly dependent upon the placenta for survival, let alone for development and maturation of physiological structures which we only get one of per life time and we are hard-dependent on.

  > It sounds like you have a lot of unresolved fear about Covid that you're not dealing with in a healthy way (denial, lashing out, projecting). Maybe seek out a mental health professional to talk through things, it might help. I appreciate the concern, but I'm actually quite okay. I know many people who do continue to live in fear of COVID however, insisting on continuing mask and vaccine mandates. One even refuses to leave his house, opting to have food and groceries delivered all so he can avoid potentially catching COVID by going in public. > The people wearing masks aren't living in "constant fear" any more than the people wearing seatbelts in their car are living in "constant fear" of car accidents. There may be a portion of people who treat wearing a mask just the same as wearing a seatbelt, but in my anecdotal experience everyone I know who still actually masks is quite fanatical about it.
