Also why are you referring to masking up as "harmful measures?" What is more harmful, masks or the flu? Masks or covid?

You say that covid hits kids at a lower rate than those older - fine, but with your method kids are still going to die but you find that acceptable over wearing masks? Why?

Also we wouldn't be talking about covid if a huge portion of right wing retards got their fucking vaccination. That's the real truth. If everyone got vaccinated this shit would be fucking eradicated. SCIENCE BITCH


There are several countries with very high vaccination rates. None are anywhere near rid of COVID. This isn't an argument against vaccination. I got vaccinated myself, and I try to convince other right wingers to do so (especially ones over 45). However, it's false to state that their failure to vaccinate has caused COVID to remain.


Regarding your "what is more harmful" argument, that can apply to anything.

If we reduced speed limits to 30 mph, there would be a lot fewer auto deaths. If we outlawed backyard pools, there would be a lot fewer drowning deaths. If we disallowed legal sales of alcohol, we would have fewer drunk driving deaths.

Rather than asking what harm it causes, why not ask if it's necessary to mandate? Masks suck and almost nobody likes them. We shouldn't be mandated to wear them unless we are getting a real, tangible benefit from them. I am seeing zero tangible benefit to children wearing masks in school, yet a lot of potential harm from it.
I am asking what harm it causes because that was a central point in your argument.

Also reducing speed to 30 mph would not mean fewer auto deaths, backyard pools being outlawed would not mean fewer drowning deaths, and making alcohol illegal sure as fuck would not stop drunk driving deaths. They would actually increase.
