Demo calls Covid “bullshit”
Saturday’s anti-mask demonstration brought hundreds out to protest wearing masks and call Covid-19 bullshit. Quebec reported 171 new cases Saturday, one of the highest daily increases since early June.
Aaron Derfel’s latest Twitter thread inquires into Quebec’s plans for schools.

This protest is from people who are mentally ill, tragically uninformed, or acting in bad faith.
Wearing masks does very little to protect the wearer which is why health orgs did not recommend it at the start of this pandemic.
But they offer some protection to the people around you, hence the order.

I guess big fines for individuals who don’t wear masks inside are imminent. As they should be in this exceptional public health crisis. I wouldn’t cry if they had to wear mandatory tracking anklets.
I wish there were a way for ER staff to be able to cough freely on these covidiots without the medics themselves getting infected.
Taiwan’s measures and tally are pretty impressive. Clearly early masking was a huge part of that. SARS was a cruel teacher.

The guy in the WWG1WGA t-shirt says it all about this crowd. I just don’t get it.

@YUL514 – It’s about our education system not living up to it’s potential. Where people think that their search skills are better than CIHR, NIH, CDC, & WHO. And a bigger idiot who leans into these people… which of course makes us question his education as well. Dunning-Kruger and all that. You know, 65% of Americans think that they have above average intelligence… 65%. I’m sure if you walked around and asked these people, they would all think they are above average as well.
Idiots who know nothing about the UN who think that the UN could occupy something (they have trouble even standing as peace keepers.) It’s incredible, there are people who are now making a living off of deceiving people on vaccines, etc. It’s a mad world.

Ephraim, exactly these types are making a mint on Youtube and other platforms online who take advantage of a lot of misguided people. It is astonishing how many followers/views/subscribers etc that these accounts have. Don’t get me started with the anti science “anti vax” movement. I guess they thought polio was cool and hey why not bring it back.

Most people don’t think about latency and if COVID might actually have latency. But there are entire industries/businesses built on serving the stupid… like Fox News, the Rebel and Sun Media (with TVA). We are (supposedly) the second most educated country in the world, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t have that Dunning-Kruger underclass.

I don’t see what mental illness has to do with this.
