A THP caller, Julie, gave some advice when encountering an anti-masker

If someone in a store or wherever is upset because you're wearing a mask & questions your choice just tell them its not a mask, its an IQ test.

She did this and everyone in line started laughing except for the red faced idiot who was making fun of her for wearing a mask.

Say "Well, I am vaccinated, but I somehow caught this nasty Delta strain going around, and my Dr. advised me to wear this until I test negative."

No, "avidya"* is not a new coronavirus strain, it is more deadly.

I tell em it is to block the stench of rotting brains. People WITH the rotting brains first loose their sense of smell, so you can’t smell it, you will be fine.
