@anonyme – I’d encourage you to look in the mirror when you characterize me as “foot stomping” and spewing vile histrionic characterizations. Here are some of the more vile things you’ve said to and questioned me about:
– “my concern for your kids … (is) the mental health of their mother”
– “what ‘violent threats’ are you talking about?” – the one in my first post regarding this subject that Cindylou commented that she thinks I’m a moron, my kids will run away from me when they’re 12, and if she saw me at Lincoln Park she’d “slap (me) and call CPS”
– “the more you scream and name call, the more the definition (of insanity) seems to fit”
– sarcastically commenting on someone that agreed with ending mandates “congrats on your new buddy, Buddy” and incorrectly connecting him (and me in a way) to the KKK
– indicating I’m into conspiracy theories (how is wanting to end the mask mandate when the omicron wave is toward its end a conspiracy theory? I’m seriously asking.)
– you keep saying I’m not posting studies – if you read the articles I post, there are many links to studies within those articles
– saying that describing myself as happy and friendly is bizarrely narcissistic – if you live in a world where you judge people who call themselves friendly and happy, that’s very sad

It seems you cannot comprehend changing your views as the wave comes to an end and the end to masking is inevitably in sight. Oregon, California, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania have all announced an end to their mandates, including school mandates. I’m sure Washington will follow suit soon. Will I be such a crazy, vile, insane, conspiracy theory loving idiot when that happens?

The main study the CDC used for recommending masks in schools has proven to be horribly flawed. Also, why aren’t we listening to the World Health Organization who does not recommend masking children under 6? I don’t expect you to think this is a valid article, but I do and others might be interested: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/12/mask-guidelines-cdc-walensky/621035/

Look in the mirror, think of how you respond. Some of my responses have not been perfect either, I admit that. But the gloves tend to come off when people attack my character, mental health, and family all because I want to start a productive conversation about questioning mask mandates on an open forum in my community.

Are you up for that coffee? I sure am!

OK, this jerk finally showed up today in Arbor Heights. Ignored the “No Soliciting” sign. When I told him to get off my property, he denied that there was any sign and said he wasn’t breaking the law anyway. Wrong. He also was not wearing a mask and showed no sign of even having one on him. I wish him a future filled with pit bulls.

Unlikely because seismic repairs will be underneath. The road under it could be closed though. Also, possible 1 lane each way could be closed at times.

@WSeaKell, congrats on your new buddy, Buddy. For those of you who don’t know who Nathan Bedford Forrest was (the man whose authoritarian quotes apparently inspire Buddy) Forrest was a Confederate general and the first Grand Wizard of the KKK. You’ve got some great company there! For someone who self-describes as happy, friendly and “never angry” (bizarrely narcissistic descriptors) you’ve spewed an enormous amount of dismissive and hateful rhetoric at anyone and everyone who has either disagreed with you or tried to provide reasonable information to counter your alternative facts. It should also be noted that, despite your numerous demands for proof of the benefits of masking, you have shown NO proof, aside from largely anonymous opinion pieces, to bolster your claims to the contrary. Not that it would do any good; you’re perfectly capable of finding that evidence yourself if you were even slightly interested in facts. Every science (not opinion) based website, including the CDC, recommends that children mask in school and provide documentation of the negative consequences of not doing so. You do, however, make an excellent case for recent studies showing that conspiracy theorists not only reject facts when directly presented with them, but dig in even deeper. I’m fine with letting you do just that.

Thank you for the support @Buddy! The New York Times newsletter this morning had an interesting and accurate look at vaccine skepticism, this time from both sides. “The second form of vaccine skepticism is among Democrats — although many would recoil at any suggestion that they are vaccine skeptics. Most Democrats are certainly not skeptical about getting a shot. But many are skeptical that the vaccines protect them.”

Here’s what I wrote last week which didn’t post for some reason. This is why I’m encouraging the discussion. It needs to happen now so our poor kids aren’t masking indefinitely. I hope more people feel comfortable about speaking up about this.

@angelescrest – Thank you for all you’ve been doing through this crazy time! Yes, my “many” teachers was used in respective to the amount I know, which I’m sure is not as many as you! I do have quite a few teacher friends though, having received my degree from Central Washington. My children go to a daycare with many Highline SD teacher’s and staff’s children, so I do know quite a few there (like my great friend, the Speech Therapist I quote above). My sister is also a Professor of Nursing at a local college, so I have her opinion as well. And yes, many of them – including my nurse sister who also works in the hospitals – are ready to end the school mask mandate when the Omicron wave is over. They comment on how hard it is to teach when children have a hard time understanding them and vice versa, how they’re sick of playing mask police all day, and how (for those that teach smaller children) it’s hard to get the kids to wear them properly, or they (the teacher) has to help change saliva-soaked, snotty masks. They’ve read the studies that do not prove school mandates slow the spread of COVID, and have seen other states successfully lose the school mandate and not have increased outbreaks.

@shotinthefoot – This is the last time I will reply to your nonsense. You show your stereotyping once again with your Joe Rogan comment (the only time I’ve listened to old Joe was in college watching his greatly awful Fear Factor). There is a vaccine mandate for school district employees. The purpose of said vaccine is to prevent death and hospitalization. So how would children put teachers lives at risk if they all have the vaccine that prevents death and hospitalization?

Also, your rants have not included any studies that show masking kids actually helps slow the spread of COVID. Until you are able to provide that data, stop commenting until you can come up with an factual, well thought out debate. (Which it appears you have stopped, hurray!)

To those that call me an angry troll, I laugh at that! I’m not typing hysterically, with my brow furrowed and a crimson face. Currently I’m hearing my laughing kids in the next room and smiling with a cat on my lap. I’m loving this discussion. I understand the view from the other side, and think it is incorrect which is why I’m engaging in debate. The shear attacks that I receive for posting anything (on an open discussion board, mind you) is insane. If you call me and my kids names, and jump to stereotypes, I’m not going to be kind anymore. Instead of jumping to an incorrect conclusion that I’m some FOX news-lovin’, gun totin’, Joe Rogan listenin’, anti-vaxxer, why not engage in meaningful dialogue? You’ll find I’m none of those things. It all makes me a little sad, and also laugh, but never angry.

Have a lovely Monday everyone!

Posting from the car (as a passenger, don’t worry) I don’t think the link came through so trying again. This ins one of many examples of educated people changing their views on school masking as the pandemic evolves:

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/28/opinion/masks-covid-children.html

@donewithcovid – my friend and I would love to do an in person meeting to discuss this further and see how we can encourage change. Wondering how we can exchange emails without the crazies getting them!

@shotinthefoot – you should join! It would be nice for you to meet people and talk face to face about your baseless claims. Also, I replied to the teacher and had a couple edits then it didn’t re-post. Once I get back to my computer I’ll try again.

[shotinthefoot]

@wseakell – here’s where I find it hard to believe that, in your own words, you’re “one of the happiest, friendliest people” because if your posts are any indication, you’re incredibly rude and dismissive of ANYONE who doesn’t subscribe to your views. I’ve read plenty, thank you, and continue to grow and learn every day. Save your judgments for the individual in the mirror. Oh, and no need to respond to me again with your histrionics, I have no further interest in engaging with angry trolls. Hope your little maskless trolls remain healthy, and I sure as hell hope their teachers do, too.

Freedom is the recognition of necessity. – Hegel

[wseakell]

@shotinthefoot – LOOK! Call the police! People can actually change their views. Like in this opinion piece below from the director of infectious disease management in the emergency department of the Boston Medical Center. But she must also listen to Joe Rogan and be a selfish lunatic as you’d like to believe. Get a life. Read studies. Post your facts, instead of having no debate other than attacking others with literally nothing to back up the crap you say. I don’t expect you’ll read this, because it’s apparent you don’t read anything, but here you are:

[donewithcovid]

@wseakell I completely agree with you. Masking children is inhumane and must be stopped now. How disturbing is it that we have a society full of adults who are so afraid of a virus that has a 99.99% survival rate (for young, healthy people) that they are sacrificing children to “protect” themselves? The fact that everywhere else in the world is lifting mask restrictions but Seattle is not is absolute insanity.

I would love to get together to talk in more detail about what can be done to stop this. If we don’t stand up for our rights and protect our children they will continue to keep us masked as long as they want.

“…get a plan in place for the mandate, especially in schools, to end”. And here is the fatally flawed argument behind the anti-mask mentality – that somehow a virus will respond to legislation, or that legislators can predict the precise behavior of a virus, including an end date. No one can do that, no matter how zealous they might be or how god-like in their own eyes. After all, you failed to predict Omicron, didn’t you, as your first rant preceded it? A virus is not a policy. Please tell us all the exact date when Covid will end, back up that claim with evidence, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll get someone to agree with you. Meanwhile, we have no choice other than to be flexible depending on the direction that the virus takes. It is also baffling that you would open another thread with exactly the same rant, presented to exactly the same audience, and somehow expect that this time everyone will agree with you. That is the very definition of insanity, and the more you screech and name-call, the more likely the definition seems to fit.

@shotinthefoot – You are a master of stereotyping and jumping to false conclusions. I’m not angry or triggered, my goal is to start an open discussion on the open discussion area of the blog. The research I’ve found is not made up or false. Show me the studies that prove masking kids slows the spread of COVID in schools. I’ll wait. Instead of bashing someone that has a different point of view from you, why not engage in meaningful discussion and show studies that prove your point?
If you met me you’d find I’m one of the happiest, friendliest people around that cares about my community and neighbors. That’s why I happily mask right now when Omicron is surging. But we need to get on our leaders to get a plan in place for the mandate, especially in schools, to end. I’d be happy to meet for coffee to discuss!
