So that I understand:

I am to remove my mask in order to appear “normal,” so that I can get sick 2-3 times per year, which…is not normal.

Then, if I die or become disabled, it must be because I am somehow “defective” and disposable. /1

I am supposed to risk a 1:10 chance per Covid infection of long term symptoms, many of which can be disabling, and I am also supposed to apply for and be denied disability at least 3 times before I receive far less than I need to meet basic living expenses. All totally normal /2

I am also supposed to risk my child’s health, whether or not she is immunocompromised, and disallow her from masking so that people can see her smile. /3

If I cannot take off a mask to fit the social norm, I’m supposed to stay home, because if you need to go out in a mask (or a wheelchair, or with an assistance dog), you’re far too sick to exist outside of your home. /4

Oh, but if I stay home, getting sick will also be my fault because of the TotallyReal™️ phenomenon of “immune debt.” Fascinating. /5

I’m supposed to exercise my freedom and personal responsibility, but only at the time and manner of your choosing. Cool cool.

I’m personally responsible for an immune compromised child who deserves to freely exist in the world just like yours.

So we don’t love it, but we mask.
