		<description>The hospitals are full of all of you individual rights people.  You should all stay at home when you get sick since you don&#039;t need anyone else anyway.  Ignorance and stupidity together is not fixable.</description>

		<description>Put a mask on and suffocate your immune system, so when it’s time to remove your mask your immune system has been dormant all this time, not knowing how to fight against anything, yes what a smart idea!!!!</description>

		<description>So many people with no understanding about how infectious diseases are transmitted.

&quot;Muh freedumb, mah rights&quot; crowd seems to forget that we all got TB, smallpox, TDap, etc vaccines before we could attend public school. And we had to show that cardboard proof to be admitted.  

You&#039;re selfish and ignorant about disease transmission so please sit down and let the experts in the field do their job.

Your &quot;internet/Facebook&quot; research is merely regurgitating false information that does not resemble reality.
Trained &amp; educated people know more about this than you do. 

Sad we have to deal with no-nothings who only consider themselves.</description>

		<description>I had the shot so I would not have to wear one.  If you want to wear one. Wear it.  I don&#039;t  and  I am sick of  being told  what  I have  to do.</description>

		<description>Poor kids. Absolute nonsense. Putting a piece of cloth on a kids face does nothing more and make them involuntarily touch their face all day long, which is an ideal way to get sick. Plus after the first day the mask becomes a  petri dish for bacteria.</description>

		<description>What people don&#039;t understand is that mandates, masks, social distancing, and vaccines reduces the risks (percentage) of catching COVID-19, but nothing is a 100% cure. It&#039;s the same as getting the flu shot or using birth control. You are not 100% gonna be safe from the flu and not 100% gonna be safe of becoming pregnant.
I know it&#039;s frustrating and it seems like public health officials &quot;lie&quot; if certain recommendations don&#039;t work. This disease is still relatively new and the variants add more challenges and more fatigue to everyone who feel like they have done everything. But we must not give up and remain vigilant to keep masking and washing our hands and distancing from those who are more susceptible of getting critically ill. :)</description>

		<description>@Just sayinf,

Pants cover things that are meant to be hidden.

Masks cover things that are meant to be exposed.

Masking and wearing pants are not comparable.</description>
