Nazi salute, jeering directed at Fox Chapel, Pa, school board approving mask mandate

[left-of-center2012]

A meeting Monday evening in which the Fox Chapel Area School District approved a universal indoor mask mandate for its facilities became heated when some in attendance began jeering board members and one man raised his arm in a Nazi salute toward the board.

The incident occurred just after the board voted unanimously to approve the district’s health and safety plan ... “In essence, if the district requires masking, it drastically reduces that chance that students would need to quarantine due to being a close contact of an infected individual. This also drastically reduces the chance for educational and programmatic disruptions.”

Shannon Browell, of O’Hara. “You’ve decided to take it upon yourselves to tell us what is good or right for our children. That’s not your right.
God gave me my children — not you. You see,
God is who I chose to follow, not man.”

Nicole Trombley, of O’Hara, said she felt that wearing masks was more harmful to her children than COVID-19.
“This (COVID virus) is not something that’s a threat to my children,” Ms. Trombley said.
“We work on many other things like being healthy and kind and
eating our vegetables and staying away from processed foods.
I’m not afraid if my kids get sick.”

4. We need to corral these people and put them in camps where they can be monitored...

I am not kidding either.

There is a fundamental difference between the right to not have a government agent inject you with an unknown substance and the right to participate in civil society. First of all, vaccines that have been studied, tested, studied some more, authorized for emergency use, studied some more (now into the 100,000,000's of cases worldwide and in the USA), then being advanced for full clearance by the FDA are NOT unknown substances and despite what their friends on social media tell these simpletons, they are NOT dangerous in and of themselves.

The vaccines DO prevent death. In 95% (or more), the vaccines also prevent symptomatic disease requiring hospitalization. That is to say that the vaccinated are NOT dying anymore, nor are they over-running the ER and ICU units in hospitals. Asshat non-vaccinated people ARE in both cases...and they are the ones dying now.

The urge to hurt others without remorse is psychopathy. Freedom from something is not license o participate in everything else either. Your "freedumb" ends at the point you infect the air society must share. So by all means, refuse the vaccine, but do so understanding that it is YOUR CHOICE, but it is also YOUR CONSEQUENCES.

Vaccinated? Congrats, the semi-open and cautious society you crave is right over there.
Non-vaccinated by choice? I'm sorry, you are not eligible for entry into those buildings or participation in those activities. Should you decide to change your status, you will change your eligibility for participation and entry, but until then, the sign now reads:

No Shirt?
No Shoes?
No Shot?
No Service...

Read it.
Learn it.
Live it.

6. I agree! I am done playing nice with these fucking idiots.

They are getting people killed and overwhelming our healthcare systems to levels not seen since 1918. It's time to start showing them the door. They are diseased bio-terrorists.

5. It's way past time to stop making these meetings open to the public.

The only people who are coming to them right now are the trolls, so it's best to just shut them out.

7. Fuck the anti-vaccine lunatics

Outside of legitimate medical reasons, these adults are stunted 12 year olds with a heaping bowl of Oppositional Defiance Disorder. "You're not the boss of me" is not a reason to skip vaccines. They're either afraid of needles, yet many are tatted up, or they are willfully ignorant and proud of it.

Pull your kid out and home school her. In fact, unless you and your off spring mask in public, stay the fuck home and shelter in place. It's not vaccinated folks filling up the ICU beds in small rural hospitals. Eating your vegetables does not prevent viruses from replicating in a human host. Sorry, that's not science. Being kind doesn't prevent communicable diseases. Processed foods don't cause viral respiratory diseases. It's wishful thinking, and denial writ large.

These people are afraid of the virus, but they can't see it, and do not understand how disease spreads. They still think going to bed with wet hair causes pneumonia, or being out in the rain will cause you to catch cold. They are living in fear, of everything they don't understand, and our masking reminds them that they, too, are mortal. They have not come to terms with their own mortality, and they don't want to.

It's almost a shame that we did eradicate polio and small pox. Seeing children in iron lungs went a long way toward parents' protecting their kids.

COVID has followed the same path at the Spanish Influenza in 1918-20. And now, we're going to have or wave of young, healthy people dropping like flies, all so the Republican party can blame Trump's failure on Biden. They're letting it happen on purpose. The GOP is gleeful about all that social security they won't have to pay out for all those who are dying before they reach retirement age.

It's homicide and manslaughter.
