I am trying.

I am trying to understand why you think wearing a mask takes your freedoms away? What exactly are you losing by covering your nose and mouth? I am fairly certain you can still talk and express yourself. Because trust me we hear your whining.

I am fairly certain you can still breathe. Because I know I can under two masks, even with anxiety and damaged lungs from a childhood respiratory illness. I am trying to understand what exempts you from wearing a mask.

Really, I am trying to understand. I am trying to understand how vaccines are altering your DNA, making your uterus shed (last time I checked this was called menstruation), or making your husband’s left testicle swell.

I am trying to understand why you would choose to believe a self-proclaimed priestess on IG, or a narcissistic light-beam that sells over-priced cupcakes, instead of scientists and doctors who have devoted their whole life to understanding viruses and public health.

I am trying to understand how you think your immune system will just miraculously triumph over this virus b/c you diffuse EO’s and ingest alfalfa sprouts. I am trying to understand how you think it’s ok to unsafely gather with others when we’ve been asked as a collective not to.

I am trying to understand how you can sit on your throne of privilege and continue to choose to disregard all the public health measures as HCW’s work 12+ hour shifts trying to save lives, and have been doing so relentlessly for over 14-months without a break.

I am trying to understand how you saying your freedoms have been ravaged by this fake pandemic entitles you to ignore all the precious souls that have died from COVID, all the ones who are battling COVID right now, and all their shattered beloveds.

I am really trying to understand why you don’t give a shit about others. Why you continue to spread false information. And why you think your life matters more. #COVID19 #COVID19ON @Jo_Brant @Preyratology

I wrote these words for mom, for dad, for our family, and for all of the others that have been impacted by COVID. fin. #COVIDIOTS
