I'm hoping people will do the right thing.The government is doing all possible to increase the vaccine supply and to help the states with whatever they need to get vaccines in arms.
It’s not my logic, it’s the logic of the author of the article. I wasn’t the one who posted a link to that article. That was another poster who claimed that the article supported her belief in long term mask wearing. I simply pointed out that she used a very bad example to support her position. I think it’s a lazy approach to use an opinion piece to back you assertions. It’s much more effective to use numbers and facts, but if are going to use an opinion piece, at least be smart enough to choose one that coincides with your beliefs...
