Which of my "stories" don't you believe?

I am in Whole Foods this weekend. I estimate 80-90% of the people are wearing masks. In SC County, the % of 12 year-old plus who aren't fully vaccinated is under 19% and likely considerably less where I am. I didn't wear my mask and didn't notice anyone disapproving. This morning I am riding my bike out on a wide gravel service road trail. I see 7 "sets" of 1 or 2 people walking over a 15-minute interval of riding. 4 sets had masks on, and another that had a person that put on a mask as I approached. Then it hit me. Occam's razor. It's fear. That's all it is, fear. It's what drove many to willingly sacrifice their/our children's well-being when science didn't support the actions taken. Science was fine when it supported their fears, but not so much now.If wearing masks in public is "virtue signaling" (as suggested by an earlier poster), that is action without talking.
What? It is not virtue signaling. It is simply basic manners. If you walk into a room and everyone has removed their hat, you remove your hat.So, in the end, virtue signalling.
As our teachers used to say: “if everyone jumped off the cliff would you???” Come on...surely you’ve used that one.What? It is not virtue signaling. It is simply basic manners. If you walk into a room and everyone has removed their hat, you remove your hat.
You don't lecture them about why removal of hats is not necessary. You just take off your hat, because that is the social norm.
I wore my mask at WalMart because that was the norm. That is all.
I skipped my mask at practice, because we all are vaccinated and that was the norm there.
Did everyone show their vaccine card?I skipped my mask at practice, because we all are vaccinated and that was the norm there.
Cards can be faked. We hired a lab to verify antibody response in the blood samples. All part of team fees.Did everyone show their vaccine card?

You forget. Just a few weeks ago he admitted he had a phobia about the whole thing.It's interesting you use the words "a risk" instead of something like "substantial risk" because it points to you not being comfortable with any risk
Whatever happened to cost/benefit analysis?
If experts tell us that masks ( whether of everyone or just unvax) can avoid 100k deaths, then we should put them on this fall and stop complaining. The cost is zero and the expected benefit is positive.
Your overblown talk of "if they make my kid wear one..." is just ridiculous. If asked to help, STFU and do your part to help.

It is why people have been so willing to go along with so many bad things in the past. They don't want to stand out or be singled out.It’s why we change policy based on such small percentages of people and their specific social norm.
Not crush bro. However, it has finally taken it's toll on my soul from the trolls. I know people who hate me so much all because I take a stand.It is why people have been so willing to go along with so many bad things in the past. They don't want to stand out or be singled out.
Screw that mindset.
