It’s been almost a year of lockdown in WA state. I don’t deny the reality of this virus, nor the fact that for vulnerable groups, it can be devastating. I pulled my kids out of school two days before they shut them down here because I was watching the COVID news. I’m realistic. https://twitter.com/bethmalicki/status/1357819382441852930
So we’re 11 months in. There’s a vaccine. And the very people who told you masks were unnecessary, we needed to wait for universal testing and a good vaccine to return to normal are now telling you to double mask and that vaccination doesn’t mean a return to normal.

F*ck that.
The “science” on this virus is so mixed in with politics that who the hell knows what the truth is. But the fact is simple: we need to return to normal. We need to end lockdowns. We need to stop using health policy to control people.
Here’s the first response to that tweet:

I’m here to tell you, lady, you can stay home as long as you want. No one will stop you. But! She’s got reasons! https://twitter.com/amethystarlight/status/1357824797657423873
It’s not about messing around at target, lady. It’s about a generation of kids falling behind in their education. It’s about people’s livelihoods going up in smoke. It’s about suicide numbers spiking. Drug overdoses spiking. It’s about an economy that WILL crash. https://twitter.com/amethystarlight/status/1357863326861172738
She declares STAY HOME and then claims others are imprisoning HER.

You want to talk assholery? Let’s talk about holding all kids back from their education and destroying the economy because you don’t want to be “imprisoned” for the time it takes to reach herd immunity.
She’d rather imprison EVERYONE than the vulnerable. Long spates of lockdowns only postponing the inevitable so she doesn’t feel alone in her vulnerability.

I’m sorry to all who are vulnerable. But nobody is discriminating against her. It’s the VIRUS that discriminates. Sue that.
I want a Governor like Kim Reynolds, not an authoritarian like frickin Jay Inslee. One who recognizes the choices and circumstances of ALL citizens instead of holding everyone down to the level of the most vulnerable. Go Iowa. Godspeed.
People who tweet then block crack me up. Absolute pansies.
