Just know that there are states that are not playing this game and are not losing lives to it.

Your fear is your own creation.

[TheGatotsu]

F that. Good luck trying to get mask mandates back.

[TheSharperSword]

See, they'll never stop. Masks, jabs, and more surprises to come!

[NickMcRyan]

Meanwhile in Florida…. Business as usual and everything is fine. Unless it’s an N95 it’s a waste of time and money. Enough fear mongering. We’re done buying your b/s.

I don't know whether to laugh or be angry, both are futile now. Remember MSM praised Gain of Function Fauci

[lacedariusmcknightenberg]

When I see someone wearing a mask, I honestly assume that they have an anxiety or mental issue.

[christopherwellman]

I will not work where I have to wear a mask.

If you don't think the fix is in, try typing:
1. California Governor's Name.. and a dinner at a certain "French" diner.
2. California Senator's Name... and a haircut at a certain "Salon".
**THE FACT THAT THESE TOPICS CAN'T BE OPENLY DISCUSSED/DEBATED... SAYS EVERYTHING!!!**

Really not giving up on this charade huh?

[Yaradan]

So what was the point to get everyone the shot 🤔..I thought it would stop the spread?

[johndingle]

Vaccine doesn't prevent infection nor transmission.

[onlygenders]

Why? It doesn't help. It just lets everyone know who the weird people are. And criminals... criminals also still wear the mask.

[coolinghtims]

Even after the vaccines it’s still not enough?

[name-sgor]

If anything should make a return it should be the bagel breakfast sandwich at McDonald’s

[thomassutherland]

At this point if someone has a mask on just know they are mindless and possibly dangerously stupid stay away from them

[thevapingpolisher]

Stop the lies media the people know the truth

[heavensentlovely]

Baloney...let it go already. We know the case numbers have dropped drastically. No need for mandating mask...can't let the control go..can ya? Geez

[mattt]

If the majority of people told LA county to suck it. I bet they wouldn’t even consider bringing masks back.

[douglasnewcomer]

No restrictions, that is against the Constitution.
