Anti-Maskers Ready to Start Masking--to Protect Themselves From the Vaccinated



...The conspiracy—which comes in several shapes and sizes—more or less says the vaccinated will “shed” certain proteins onto the unvaccinated who will then suffer adverse effects. The main worry is the “shedding” will cause irregular menstruation, infertility, and miscarriages. The entirely baseless idea is a key cog in a larger conspiracy that COVID-19 was a ploy to depopulate the world, and the vaccine is what will cull the masses...

Anti-vax influencers are instructing their fellow anti-vaxxers as well as anti-maskers (at this point the two communities overlap to a huge degree) that one of the best ways to defend themselves from this blight is to co-opt…social distancing, the very strategy they have long decried....

It’s not just social distancing that anti-maskers/anti-vaxxers are begrudgingly accepting. Some conspiracy theorists are wondering if perhaps their longtime bane, the mask, could become their salvation. One perplexed poster on the fringe site 4chan asked their fellow anons if they should “wear a mask around the vaccinated, because they shed the mRNA stuff?”

“I am going to be watching these vaccine shedding stories like a hawk,” wrote another man on Twitter. “Is my family going to need to wear masks to protect ourselves from the vaccinated?”

So, when the ruling arrives, as it will very soon in California, that we can take off our masks, what will they do?

They will be caught in a trap that they themselves laid.

I wish all the crazies out there would mask up to protect them from the rational beings on the planet. Fine with me!

I just finished making 3 "I got vaccinated buttons" to wear with my Lock Him Up earrings that I made 4 years ago and haven't been able to wear with my mask since they get all tangled together. My mask has "trump" on it, inside of a red circle with a red slash through it. I have to get my political affiliations out there somehow....especially since my area is Blue/Dem.

Mask their snot nosed virus shedding spawns as well.

They spread colds, norovirus and influenza.

I am hoping for an ok outcome when this all gets tired and disappears. These people have been around forever. They just are a whole lot more visable right now.

Anyway, that's what I tell myself at 3 am when the anxiety attacks wake me up.
