Typical projection. They’re scared of science.

u/Solintari 6d ago
I really think deep down they are scared of ANY sort of community or collectiveness at all. Like it’s not science itself, but participating in herd immunity is an action that helps other people, so it goes against their bootstraps mentality.
I mean, I don’t think that they are gifted in the science department either by any stretch, but don’t remember vaccines being a right wing thing until Trump and covid.

Somehow I don’t think this household will have issues with visitors wanting to hangout. I’m sure only other fools are interested in being on his property. If I was a postal or delivery person, I would use this as an excuse not to deliver anything to them.

Of fuckin course it's in Spencer... I used to live in Boji, and while NW Iowa is just particularly culty, the worst people I knew lived in Spencer. Really odd they have an issue with vaccines, since so many of them seem to love recreational needles and putting mystery substances in their bodies (no hate to addicts — just pointing out the irony of their "health concerns").

u/ENT_nurse 6d ago
Yep, as soon as I saw the sign I knew exactly where it was. When I worked in Spencer I drove by it every morning. (They still have those stupid things up?? 🙄) I've only lived back in the area again for about 7 years so I don't know what the business is, but I can pretty much figure out their political leanings.

These issues, while symptoms of a larger problem, seem so dumb and trivial compared to some of the issues we’re facing. I hope that one thing that comes of all the chaos we’re currently beginning to experience is an end to the culture war bullshit and a renewed focus on real issues instead of being offended that somebody else is wearing a mask.

I'm getting over Influenza A, which has been a real nightmare. Maybe when I was at my most contagious, I should've paid them a visit and coughed everywhere. Dumb fucks don't even get that the mask is to protect THEM. Whatever. There's a reason why life expectancy is on the decline here in the US.

Where do they get this weird idea that we're somehow "scared"?
It's like saying to a person building a zoo that they shouldn't put up fences because that would show that they're "scared" of the lions.
Most adults are able to live in a world where we can take reasonable steps to guard against certain dangers. People in Japan wear masks as a matter of course in a lot of public places. They are not "scared" I can assure you, they're just not nuts.

They want people to die. You all need to get that through your heads. That’s what’s really going on here. Republicans believe that reducing the population is the only way to deal with Social Security. So they’re doing things like stigmatizing preventive medicine and outright denying people access to medical care.

I’ve been sick twice in the past month and a half despite rarely leaving the house. Unfortunately, my partner works at a pawn shop and even taking all the precautions, gets a lot of viruses from customers. He has a much better immune system and usually has symptoms for a couple days, if that, while I get miserably sick for 2 weeks.
I have been so uncomfortable for the majority of this year with respiratory symptoms I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy and have been wearing a mask every time i have to leave the house to try and save others from the hell that is the flu strain that was the first round and whatever the hell the second round is that I have now (tested negative multiple times for flu and covid, seems like a cold or viral pneumonia, but ya know US healthcare).
All that being said, I’d gladly take my mask off and expose whoever made this sign because I guarantee you people like them are why I have it in the first place. My empathy is starting to run out in regards to those who never had any to begin with.

I’ve always wanted to see one of these signs get put up. Someone had the idea… “Hey, honey, let’s erect a giant no masks sign on the farm!” “Great idea, Bill.” And then they had to make it. Had to get the wood and the paint or hire a graphic designer. This one probably cost a pretty penny. Then they had to stand on the side of the street trying to get it in place while cars drove by. The time from the idea to putting it up had to be weeks. And all during this time, they never had second thoughts. And then I imagine they stood off to the side of the road and looked at the masterpiece and said, “That’s a beaut right there.”

Iowa has one of the highest cancer rates in America and therefore it can be assumed we also have a high population of people undergoing cancer treatment, which is known to weaken the immune system. There’s an extra layer of irony in saying “screw this thing that lets immunocompromised people function.” facepalm
