    Masks are not just for covid. Many people around the World wear masks when they feel ill for other reasons, and they also use them to counter bad air quality. America is pro-sickness. Having a healthy nation, and actual National Healthcare is almost illegal in the USA, not yet, but close. Republicans just want to control society and make money off of sick people.

      Not to mention, for disabled people like me with specific illnesses including long covid, this basically means we can’t leave our homes without severe risk to our health. In essence, another ableist tactic to hide disability.

          Republicans are doing everything possible to deny long covid is a thing. They are pushing the NIH to only fund research trying to (wrongly) make it seem like a mental disorder.

            That’s because they don’t want people to know that being a republican is a mental disorder, but we know, we know!
