Default Morals

I often hear this said: "I wear my mask for the benefit of others."

Is the person making that statement also claiming a moral superiority over persons who choose not to wear masks and not benefit others?

I'll wear my mask until my financial advisor informs me that I am running out of money!

Hmm. Seems to me that anyone who asks this is due for a moral checkup.

Masks only protect others from you. That doesn't connect to morals if you were vaccinated. It is a conversation about logic.

If the question is 'how do I minimize my chances of getting the virus' then this is a conversation on getting the vaccine. Again it doesn't involve morals.

The person is only stating a fact, don't try reading too much into it.

Just wear a mask where appropriate and quit making this an issue! Good grief.

Nothing much is going to change as long as the origin of Covid-19 is not given out to the public....masks for ever....maybe, at least Fauci thinks seasonal mask wearing vaccine or not. https://twitter.com/i/status/1391475688104988673

Once you're vaccinated, there is no appropriate place since you cannot get covid nor give it. It's just stupid.

You are right...we are continually getting sucked in by con artists and liars, and never hold them responsible.

Sad is a minor word to describe. Used to feel sorry for those saps who believe this, and pass it on, but now just anger because it is flat out tearing this country down

To be fair, Fox News also pushed. It was about the time our government was attacking him in every personal way possible

Fox News Pushing Conspiracy That Fauci Created Coronavirus
Actually the investigation includes well documented materials due tot the fact grant money was used for gain of function experiment and has been going on for over a year now....I would not want to be Fauci right now...they have him tied pretty close to the CCP.

Don't know what Fox has to say about this at all.

Just what difference does that make?! If it came from a bat then we don't need to get vaccinated and/or wear a mask but if it came from a lab we do? The vaccine is effective if it came from a lab but not if it came from a cave? 580,000 people did not die if it came from a cave but they did if it came from a lab?

What point are you trying to make and what difference will it make if you convince people to believe you are right?
