  1. A lot of States including Florida, Ohio, South Dakota and others have never had a mask mandate, and their covid-19 rate has been equal to other states.

  2. Just do what you want to do. Aren't we free?
    The mask don't work anyhow according to the CDC itself.

  3. Those masks will keep the virus out as much as your pants will keep a fart from getting out.

  4. Only the ugly are still in favor of mask mandates.

  5. Please Democrats please. Keep wearing your masks. Some of you are damn ugly. We don't want to see that.

  6. NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO OUR CHILDREN FOR BIG PHARMA PROFITS!!!!

  7. I can almost guarantee you a vast majority of kids and staff in schools wear cloth masks and not KN95 masks. So I ask what’s the point of mandates if the masks worn don’t do anything? That’s like mandating vaccines that don’t keep you from getting or spreading covid.

  8. We probably should wear masks but the β€œmah freedumbs” crowd has been throwing fits for 2 years.

  9. Watching greatgrand children and how since no attendance of school for 1 year they have had NO COLD NO FLU and the minute they went back everyone caught horrible colds that kept them home from school , personally I will use a mask unless asked not to by any establishment I enter ! Thank you

  14. American parents protest at school meetings about? A: 186 school shootings in 10 years B: Masks.

    China had a few cases and shut down a city of 14 million. America had a few cases and turned it into 1.4 million cases per day.

    USA, where you used to be able to own people but now suddenly wearing a mask is having your freedom taken away. H.Franklin

    Remember 2 years ago when Trump said 'It would just go away'. Americans think 2,000 deaths a day is a plummet. – HOW STUPID IS THAT?
