CORONA Biden Says 'Rule Is Simple": Get Vaccinated Or Wear A Mask Until You Do*

I noticed today that the bank and grocery store had both taken down masks required signs. Quick stop place had masks recommended instead of required on their sign. Grocery store clerks had masks and several customers. No one else in the bank and clerks were behind their plexiglass shields with no masks. No one at Quick stop had a mask. Frankly, few in this town have worn a mask in the last couple of months and many never did.

My only issue with the vaccine/no vaccine and mask/no mask thing is that people have made it a rights/political issue and it should be addressed as a medical issue.

Masks should never be a political foot ball and this "announcement" just continues that unfortunate pattern.

I suspect one of his handlers thought it would be a great way to try and force people to be vaccinated and/or make those who refuse to be "obvious" (so they could be shunned, attacked, or whatever).

This is insane, there are a lot of people who may choose to wear masks due to their own physical conditions or because they know themselves to have an illness (not just COVID).

A healthy way to look at masks is the way they are used in SOME parts of Asia where it is considered polite to wear one if you are coughing and perhaps have a contagious illness even a common cold (especially on crowded public transit).

During normal times, most people are not wearing one, but usually, in any Asian crowd scene (taken 2019 or before) you will see a few people wearing them.

Masks are a tool, they should never have been turned into weapons.

I did errands and attended a meeting last night in northern Minnesota. Yes, it was in democrat country.

At the county courthouse, everyone was wearing masks, including me. Well, for most of the time I was. When I pulled my mask down to be able to breath better in a mostly empty hallway, I got a few strange looks, but no "put your mask on" comments. At the first store I was at, the two employees did not wear masks, but they were behind plastic. One did come out from behind, sans mask, to look at my car to see the part I was looking for. At the other store, one of the store employees didn't have his mask on when he first started helping me. Then he remembered and put it back on. Otherwise, everyone wore masks, including me. When I stopped at the greenhouse, I didn't wear a mask and most of the people there didn't either. I got into a nice conversation with the owner and she said that she doesn't believe the masks do anything and, in fact, believed that they caused health problems instead. She said they have never mandated masks, even though the state said to. That it was everyone's choice as the greenhouse had enough wind/air flowing through. She also said she has no intention on getting the "vaccine."

Then I got to the meeting. Several people walked in not wearing masks, so I didn't put mine on. I sat down to visit with friends I haven't seen for over a year. Friend #1 said that she was vaccinated and asked if I was. I said no, that I wasn't letting them put those chemicals in my body, that I had enough problems already. She asserted that the "vaccines" were safe, that she had no problems at all. We had a good conversation after I steered it to another subject. Then I went to talk to friend #2 and she asked if I had been vaccinated. No. Went to talk to friend #3. Same question, same answer. Then went to talk to friend #4. All of these friends had masks on but I didn't. About that time, friend #2 came over to me and, under her breath, said that "someone" (didn't catch the name) had requested that I put my mask on. That "someone" was either someone I had talked to or who was listening in on the conversation. So I put the d**n mask on, talked a little more with a few friends, went to find my husband and told him I wanted to leave before the meeting started. So we left and I fumed for quite awhile on the way home.

The next time someone asks if I'm "vaccinated," I'll tell them I'm fully up-to-date on all vaccinations, which I am, as I don't believe these are vaccinations. Still not going to take it. My body, my choice. If THEY believe their "vaccinations" protect them, why are they worrying about me wearing or not wearing a mask??

I don't like AT ALL that they are making this a political and control issue rather than a health issue! I will continue to do what I normally do - keep my immune system in as good shape as I can, stay away from people who are sick, and stay out of large crowds during peak flu season. I'm not wearing a mask unless the "law" says I need to, and as of right now, I will say I'm fully vaccinated.

Waiting to see how this shakes out in the real world. Walz spoke on it yesterday afternoon, and cut people loose, but I have to wonder whether some businesses aren't addicted to the mask thing. Menards was one of the first ones to mandate it...they will be the bellweather for me.

"I got the shot!" is nothing more than virtue signaling.


Never J.A.D.E.

Justify
Argue
Defend
Explain

It works in all sorts of social situations where someone is asking a question that is frankly none of their business and won't like the answer even if provided.

I haven’t been through this scenario yet but know it’s coming. I’m thankful for others letting us know about their experiences. It’s helped me decide how to respond.

I’m tempted to tell the truth, that is, I will NEVER take the shot. That won’t help the situation at all though. The brainwashed can’t be convinced otherwise and then I’ll be marked as a dissenter.

My plan is to say I’m fully vaccinated. (I don’t believe these shots are true vaccines so I can say this with good conscience)

The only issue will be down the road when/if my employer asks for proof, I’ll have to come clean. It won’t matter at that point because I’ll quit to find another job.

This whole house of cards is falling. I'm going to say I have been vaxxed. Of course anti-vaxxers will get blamed for EVERYTHING going forward.

In an unsettling reminder that COVID-19 is still spreading, even as a scandal-scarred Gov. Andrew Cuomo pushes ahead with reopening the Empire State - and even as practically everybody in the organization has already been vaccinated - the Yankees have seen their starting lineup crippled (shortstop Gleyber Torres was kept out of Wednesday's starting lineup during a game against Tampa Bay) and a number of coaches and staff sidelined due to a sudden flareup of COVID-19.
But the surprising thing is that the Yankees have essentially required players and staff to get vaccinated, so this latest outbreak is afflicting staff and players who have already been fully vaccinated./////snip

DO NOT TRUST the LIE (I'm vaccinated") TO SAVE YOU!
The liberals would LOVE to make a public example of you, punishing you severely to scare others into getting the vaccine!

If You DO get a mild ( No symptoms) Covid case and someone you were in close contact with DOES then come down with Covid and DIES, in this liberal time you could be criminally charged, OR SUED and lose everything!
You will be looked at with the HATE people felt for AIDS patients who had unprotected sex and didn't tell their "lover" they had AIDS, and ALSO presumed to just want to spread the disease!

It has been said and it is true, "Those who don't remember history are condemned to repeat it". The War Between the States was about States Rights. Now Joe Bidet thinks that because he stole the election and sits in the seat of power in D.C. he can do anything. Wrong answer!!! Gov. DeSantis here in Florida, has signed an order that ALL local mandates concerning masking ect. are null and void after 07/01/21. If the pedophile Bidet thinks that his power over-rides the authority of our Gov. DeSantis, he better send a lot of people who WANT to die to enforce it.

When I was in the infantry we had a saying. Your status in Hell depends on the size of the honor guard you send ahead of you. I will not comply with such an order, which is not law, just what the supposed prez thinks should be done. I have no desire to return to the places I have been. But that doesn't mean I won't do it again if I have to.

You’re probably right. I didn’t think of that. I was thinking more when strangers say something in public. Friends, family, and employer is a different story. I’ve been keeping my opinion to myself so far. If pressed, I’ll say I’m waiting for the vaccine to get full approval. I’m not sticking my neck out by saying I don’t think they’re safe.

That's exactly where I'm at. I won't lie, but to tell people I'm not ever doing that shot will label me. It already has! But for now on, I'll say I'm fully vaccinated and that will be the truth.

I don't have to worry about employers anymore. One of the few good things about being older! LOL!

That won't work. I, along with many others, would fight this tooth and nail!! If they are so sure that this "vaccine" will keep them from getting bad sick with covid, then they have no one to blame except themselves if they die from covid. It's not protecting them. It would be the same thing as if a person got pneumonia and gave it to someone else who had been given the pneumonia shot and died from pneumonia. I know as I had the pneumonia shot one year and got pneumonia just months later! It doesn't protect you!

TPTB know that these covid shots have not much, if any, protection for people. The shots are not for protection - they are for testing out their newest "gene experimentation." If anything, you should be able to sue the "vaccine" makers and their protectors in the f e d g o v. But they've "legalized" their protective status, the creeps!

There is only one label of true concern and it ain't one provided by your fellow human beans ...

"Go along to get along" is going to provide you with lots of misery. Your discomfort is evident ... pray.

O.W.

The question remains HOW will they know if you've been vaccinated or not?

I have an injection that is 100% guaranteed to prevent Covid infection or spread, and will be happy to dispense it at high velocity from a safe distance.

If I understand correctly, that injection can also be done at close quarters. But at a distance is preferred.

Talk about division in tbe workplace!

Imagine an EEOC protected person who hasn't been vaccinated due to medical or religious exemptions being forced to wear a mask and be subjected to workplace harassment. Worse miss out on promotions, miss out on sales or consulting trips, or even be fired on BS grounds: "your productivity didn't meet our goals for you" when really you were fired because co-workers were "scared" to be around an unvaccinated co-worker or customers didn't want to deal with an unvaccinated employee marked for all to see by that mask on their face, it'll be like wearing a star of david on your face.

this isn't going to end well
