Anti-maskers need a lesson in logic
How deplorable can it get that many self-proclaimed patriots are denouncing Dr. Fauci and the CDC, and are fighting the use of masks and vaccinations that have saved thousands of Americans during our coronavirus war, the worst “world war” since World War II. How petty are those people that rather than join other Americans as an obligation to society, they condemn our only available defenses as abuses of “their freedom.”
Aren’t all laws, and other state requirements, limits on freedom? Could America be free without them? Many Americans have given their lives, or live with serious injuries, in the name of freedom, and now petty Americans are using “freedom” as an excuse to refuse such minor irritations as wearing a mask or getting a shot? Is that not deplorable? And I suppose these same people have condemned the young Americans who protested the draft for the Vietnam war or the protest of Bush’s preemptive Iraq war or BLM protests of racist abusive police treatment. And anyone who thinks that some danger of a mask or the vaccine is a legitimate excuse needs a simple lesson in logic.
