She did not encourage vaccine.

We need a conservaccine to placate these people.

I commend her for showing better leadership than Former Guy did all last year throughout the pandemic.

Followership. This is a year into the pandemic.

Its minimal acknowledgment of reality, which I guess deserves a medal these days.

Eh, I’m feeling generous. If it weren’t for the last guy doing so poorly, slightly better than the bare minimum wouldn’t cut it.

Yes, by all means wear that piece of cloth across your mouth, it does nothing, but make it harder to breathe.

With my family's reaction to post-1979 rubella, I am waiting for the Valneva vaccine (or one with similar traits).

You are too kind!

I breath completely fine with a mask and social distancing. My dad breath just fine with a mask. And he has Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Crying about the mask makes it harder to breathe. Is pathetic. The people that I know, That got COVID-19. Didn't believe in the mask either. Until they got COVID-19. The living seem to take it very serious now.

Don't you want Sarah Palin to think you're cool?

I have no problem working out in a mask. I can do home renovations for extended periods of time in a well-fitted half-face respirator. The people complaining about breathing difficulty are whiners.

Well it is whining season now that the Dems are in office.

Yes, wearing a mask does make it harder for me to breathe because of my asthma, but I still choose to wear one. It's a personal choice. However, I'm not going to argue with other people about it.

It cuts down on the volume of things moving in and out of the mask, which obviously does nothing? I liked it more when GOP propaganda didn't try to fit mutually contradictory ideas into the same sentence.

Still, she has had the courage to reject both her political party and her religion to do it. Good for her.

Perhaps I should be more charitable toward people who break free from their conditioning, even at such a late date.

The only way to totally avoid the possibility contacting it is to avoid all people. That piece of cloth isn't going to do anything.

It holds bacteria. It puts whatever you touch on your face because you're constantly touching your mask.
I suspect it's done more to spread the virus than to stop it.
In a sterile environment, where you use it once and then toss, and not in the regular garbage where it's just going to spread, then it makes some sense. That's not what happens in the real world.
