Friends I wanted to qualify one of my snarky comments, because I would NEVER get tested, NEVER HAVE been tested and I personally don't recommend getting tested! I was just offering a snarky "stop-them-in-their-tracks" response if some store clerk is pressuring you on the mask issue!
Aloha from Kona…People here are very prone to the fear peddling i.e., I recently spoke to a woman (gate keeper) who is with the Hawaii Community Caregiver Network about listing my name as a potential caregiver. She connects families seeking such a person. With over 25+ yrs experience in private care, that I briefly shared with her, she then asked “Are you vaccinated?” I said “No I’ve never have been and don’t plan to be.” She retorted “Well I only ask this to protect YOU because if you were to infect a client the family could sue you…It’s just for your protection.” I said, “I’ve actually had families who’re looking for ‘unvaccinated’ caregivers.” She responded “Well I’ve NEVER heard of that before!” Then she ended by saying “Send me your name, phone number and email.”
Unless the Lord Jesus Christ parts this ‘Red Sea’ for me, this self appointed “Gate Keeper” will not be referring me to anyone.
I found something that works for me almost every time. My wardrobe now consists of tactical clothing. Well-groomed facial hair. Sunglasses. They can’t read my face. While all others are confronted by the “mask police”, I usually get a nod and a, “Good afternoon, sir.” And walk right in. Without me saying a word.
I find it crazy that many of the people who are still wearing masks seem to also be the ones who will take their masks off to use vaping products, blowing crap everywhere. Most vaping products are made in China. We know that vaping spews aeosolized pathogens into the air. It also could possibly be being used as a vehicle to spread illness. Yet, vaping is just fine but heaven forbid wanting to be able to breathe. People need to start putting their foot down when vaping is happening near them. At least that makes sense. Harassing someone because they want to breathe properly is not okay.
When I'm in a store up here in Insane Francisco, the face diaper capitol of the US, I avoid any masked checkers (there will always be one or 2 of them in a Trader Joe's), and tell the unmasked checker that I move to why I came to their line. They always smile.
cannot think of a scenario you have not covered
People with mental illness like to subjugate others.
This affords them the opportunity to practice.
They are disingenuous compliance junkies.

Here in Maui, and have also seen such simple minded ideas put forward.
The woman is mentally challenged and mired in false beliefs.
One person told me he would not be alive if not for vaccination.
I baited him, "what would have got ya" ? trotting out choices for him. He fell silent
Good question to ask with no answer forthcoming
Yeah, then she would probably send your info to a breathing-naturally harassment agency
Thank you for sharing your experience, Cynthia!

Perfect!
Thank you, wise and wonderful Peggy! It is very disheartening seeing them appear again, knowing it's a slippery slope to the absurd mandates.
Stupid is as Stupid does...Thank your lucky stars for the Ms Peggys out there. There are way too few!

That last sentence should be on Peggy’s list. 👍

Great Idea
I refuse to shop masked rob any store . I still see people driving with mask on . 🙄
So do I, in AC cars with window up driving solo.
Evidence of mental illness.
