“If you want to stay home, stay home.
If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask.
If you want to avoid large crowds, avoid large crowds.
I am not required to descend into poverty for you.
I am not required to abstain from human contact for you.
I am not required to shop alone, without my kids, for you.
I refuse to participate in “quarantine life” until there’s an unsafe, untested vaccine released in eighteen months.
I refuse to receive said vaccine to make others feel more safe.
If you’re convinced the vaccine is safe and effective, you can get it yourself.
Some of you are allowing fear and policies devoid of scientifically accurate data to destroy the world and ruin your life.
We need to tell legislators that we demand options.
We have a right to take risks. Life is full of bacteria and viruses, many of which spread before symptoms manifest and after they subside.
We have a right to receive OR refuse vaccines.
The data about the virus is inaccurate at best; overblown to justify government overreach at worst.
Stop allowing the government to destroy:
The Food Supply
Small Businesses
Medical Autonomy
Access to Healthcare
Religious Gatherings
Privacy Rights
Fellowship
When the “new normal” is filled with starvation, depression, suicide, child abuse, domestic violence, imprisonment, governmental spying, and pure DESPERATION, the virus is going to look preferable to the world you helped facilitate.
I’m going to turn this around on people from now on. Those that say I’m (or anyone that supports the mission to get us back open) putting money over lives wanting the country back open for business, hear this:
-YOU don’t care about the people that will kill themselves out of hopelessness
-YOU don’t care about small businesses that’ll close their doors (THEIR LIVELIHOOD) permanently
-YOU don’t care about the children/women/men that’ll be victims of domestic abuse
-YOU don’t care about people defaulting on their mortgages
-YOU don’t care about bills going unpaid by families with ZERO income right now
-YOU don’t care about people wondering where their next meal will come from
-YOU don’t care about the people that’ll lose their sobriety and slip back into alcoholism
-YOU don’t care about the people that will starve
-YOU support the inevitable looting that’ll take place
-YOU don’t care about anyone whos murdered the longer this shut down goes on
-YOU don’t care about people’s mental health
-YOU don’t care about the children who need teachers and educators to guide and educate them
-YOU don’t care about the economy crashing down around us
-YOU love your shackles
-YOU are pathetic begging your leaders for MORE shut down and MORE regulations
I will NOT tolerate another person telling me that I don’t care about lives.
I care about the situation in its entirety.
But YOU don’t care about any of that so...
YOU stay home.
YOU wear a mask.
YOU live in fear.. COPIED
