It’s the same trick Hollywood is so apt to use recently.  Make a ‘woke’ piece of media and automatically any criticism of it is labeled ‘ist’.  

Feel free to stop masking outside. It doesn’t look like you’re “following the science” when you’re ignoring some of the science.

If you weren’t afraid of influenza in the past, why is Corona magically different?

You never stopped wearing one? 😂🤣 what a hero!! KYS

No. The vaccine works and is still extremely effective against all known variants. Almost everyone who wants the vaccine has been eligible to get it for quite a while, so NO, I won’t be masking up again just to protect the anti-vaxxer morons. However, IF NYC gets back up to a “Substantial level” of cases of 50/100k…

While I applaud her for putting herself first, this act really pisses me off. Why now? She was the captain of her team and their leader and she walked out on them. She also took a valuable position from another competitor that could have had a chance to compete at the Olympics. Why didn’t she retire at the US olympic…

I think it is admirable that Simone was able to make the right choice for herself. The way Suni, Jordan, and Grace pulled together to each perform on an apparatus they were not expecting was amazing too. The media being dicks can go sit on rakes.

Yup. We did the all the recommended things during the pandemic, got fully vaccinated when it was available, then resumed a normal life. Whether people like it or not, the isolation from sheltering in place took a very serious toll on a lot of people. My favorite description I heard was “there were a lot of people…

You know this virus isn’t going anywhere, right? We either live with restrictions for years, which I think is untenable (I mean, look at the shitshow this country is after 18 months), or now that we have vaccines and treatments, we have to learn to live with it, and recover some sort of semblance of normality.…

Maybe she's talking about Jez?

You literally just described steroids

These are WADA rules, the World Anti Doping Agency, not just the USA. The rest of the world doesn’t care that a few American states are fine with marijuana, globally it’s mostly illegal.

Bottom line is that she knew the consequences. Other olympic athletes have the same trial and tribulations of life like her who do smoke weed but choose not to because they know the consequences. Also this isnt about race either no matter how much this blog wants it to be.

Disagreeing with a rule doesn’t mean it’s allowed to be broken, no matter the circumstances. She was well aware of the rules and actions have consequences.

Yes its bullshit, but that has nothing to do with her token up so close to an event of a fucking lifetime.

It appears as though it is, though.

Yeah, I’m not saying there’s zero logic to masking indoors if you’re vaccinated. I’m just saying there are a lot of weirdos with doomer fetishes who are almost giddy at the thought of the variant somehow overpowering the vaccines and what they believe to be the ensuing resurgence.

Oh, yes. Let’s please try to do the mask thing again. It worked so flawlessly last time. People will definitely not lose their shit if you tell them to mask up again just in case right after they went through all the nonsense and got vaxxed—those who did anyway. People who didn’t the first time around will just be…

fully agree- all the vaccinated people are welcome to wear a helmet while driving as well too, “just to be extra safe”

Every new study of the vaccines seems to confirm that they really are miracles, and yet every day on Twitter there are people who seem almost gleeful that Delta may lead some places to reinstitute mask mandates and other mitigation measures. They like to cite the poorly-framed story about half of the new infections in…
