the whole mask thing was always incredibly stupid. How could anyone actually believe that these dirty scraps were filtering f*cking viruses. It is genuinely mindblowing that anyone bought into it
Nobody other than right wing idiots ever thought masks were for filtering virus. I can't imagine how much mental effort it takes to remain so ignorant on how masks work...
She won the Women's division of the Boston Marathon in probably the worst weather in the history of the race. Temperature in the 30s, heavy freezing rain and strong winds - and a mask is required at her book signing ?

Yes, it was all messaging. It would have been a lot easier and just as effective to wear a t-shirt that said "I hate Covid!"
Thank goodness for this post as it reminded me that that old LetsRun full of haters, conspiracy theorists, and anti-science lurkers looking for their next faux outrage targets still exists. God bless you, Des.
Did you know that masks work for more than covid? Crazy, right? How weird that a professional runner deep into marathon training would try not to get sick at a public event.
Don't be a sheep.
How often did people wear masks prior to COVID? I could count on one hand the number of masks I saw in the US outside of hospitals each year prior to March 2020. Swine flu, Avian flu, seasonal flu, nobody wore masks until recently. It wouldn't stop me from going to an event I wanted to attend, and I'm not mad about it, but the mask wearing is more sheep mentality than not wearing one.
It's always been about mind control and submission. The whole issue was the brainchild of the intellectual class, they are ALWAYS at the forefront in the destruction of human rights so of course at Harvard they'd still be married to the masking idea 3 years later.
Yeah, definitely no chance a professional runner is just being cautious at an event two weeks before she’s running a marathon. This definitely has to be part of the Illuminati’s 3 year campaign to destroy human rights. OMG! 50 people having to wear masks at a book signing. This has to be by far the most horrible human right tragedy in human history.
It's proven masks did nothing though for COVID though.
Who cares? I might have had Covid a few times this year, but I didn't test so I wouldn't have to limit my activities.
I felt mildly sick but nothing more.
Basically you're human garbage. This is not about you being sick, but the 82-year-old dude you exposed to COVID might not be so lucky. Actually, you're weak. If you actually had COVID you would feel it and you'd be crying up a storm.

Why doesn't the 82-year-old wear a mask if they're so concerned? No one's stopping them

I'll go. I'm not a huge wuss about wearing masks. It's just not a big deal to me.
You are going simply to go to an event that requires masks?
Maybe you a wuss. Maybe not.
But you have some serious problems for sure
If the choice is go to the event or not go to the event, I'm not going to cower in my basement and complain online. I'm going to go outside and get an actual experience. The masks have no impact on how I enjoy the situation.

So going along with a ridiculous requirement makes you brave?
Nothing against her personally, but take away that extremely terribly weather day in 2018, and this book or the signing wouldn't be happening, period. She's an opportunist and is cashing in on wherever she can get the cash.
Umm, she beat all the other women on that extremely terrible day. If it was so easy, why didn't she get beat?
I truly don’t know why an item as simple as a mask caused so much trouble in the US.
oh wait… it’s cause it wasn’t written in the Ten Commandments to wear one so people can’t fathom not breathing God’s clean air.
Stop making it about everything else and just admit you have a problem with being told what to do.
You're right that I don't like being told to do stupid and pointless things
lol seriously. 'America is funny' LOVES being told what to do and derives comfort from complying with orders no matter how stupid they are, because it's the comfort of the authority itself that they enjoy. They can't fathom that others don't have the same cattle-like instincts.
Gonna take a guess that your favorite political hosts are Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson.
I just don’t see the point of acting like a Karen/Ken about something as trivial as a mask. If that’s the biggest complaint you have then you have never experienced an inconvenience before. If you don’t want to do something just stfu and keep it moving you don’t have to remind everyone that you won’t be brainwashed and your tinfoil hat will protect you from the 5G COVID waves.
“We’ve fallen so low that there’s no expectation of consequences for this horrific attack on private property,” community activist Yiatin Chu wrote on Twitter.

I don't blame you for wanting to keep your blinders on like a horse, not being able to see all the evidence that proved masks did plenty for Covid. Heck even the DoD had a pretty clear study showing how massively effective it was. I'm over the whole mask wearing, though, and only wear it while I'm sick nowadays.
That being said, at this point, it's like parts of Asia pre Covid. I was surprised at how many people wore them there.

Are you that ignorant? You actually don't understand what the poster meant? Under normal conditions, she doesn't win. Geez, some people.
