You must have not experienced covid in the United States. All I saw here was a hectic shitshow full of scores of people utterly rejecting any semblance of disease guidance - going so far as doing the opposite of whatever the institutions recommended. Then there were a few redeeming groups who decided to play ball - not out of obedience, but out of love and respect for vulnerable groups.

I am indeed from Europe, where streets were at times completely empty and at other times you had to walk in designated lanes. Mask mandates everywhere and unvaccinated people were ostracized.

If such a tiny thing like wearing a mask is too much to ask from you, your opinion is not worth shit in this debate.

It means you can't even accept minor inconveniences to save the lives of yourself or others.

If you are so incredibly egotistic, and so incredibly short sighted that you can't even do that, your opinion is obviously garbage and not worth listening to.
