"SNIP......

Citing “discrimination,” Rep. Mo Brooks on Monday urged President Biden to overrule Fort Rucker’s decision requiring people to wear masks on the Alabama base if they are not vaccinated against COVID-19.

“Our soldiers should not be intimidated or coerced by the government into taking an experimental shot that has death and other ill-effect risk associated with it,” Brooks, a Republican from Huntsville, wrote to Biden.

.....

The congressman also suggested, without evidence, that it may be proven that wearing a mask is harmful.

“Masks have small fibers that regularly loosen and are lodged in users’ lungs. Some masks have inks and dyes which, when consumed by lungs, have unknown cancer and other health risks,” Brooks wrote.

“Certainly, all or almost all masks reduce oxygen intake into the human body, with all the risks this imposes. There is also the unknown risk that, in the heat and humidity of summers in the South, heat stroke risks increase among mask wearers.”

No? Huh.

Still waiting on that mask cancer though. Along with windmill cancer, it will end up being the leading killer of Americans exposed to masks and/or windmills. Probably.

Shake some hands of those sickened and tell their family members that at least their loved one doesn't have heat stroke.

to protect themselves from hazardous chemical dust and particulates and as previously mentioned, the millions in the regular and emergency medical fields protecting themselves from all sorts of communicable diseases.

Of course, Brooks will also never discuss the fact that all Americans are exposed daily to particulates from industry and vehicle emissions or that millions of workers that should wear PPE are not supplied it by their employers.

What a ignorant, hypocritical dip shit.

KY rant done......

If yes, why? Cuz you are lying to your constituents. Even Trump wasn't this stupid. He got vax'd and got the best medical imaginable. Your voters won't.
