We know you likely have no idea who Mark D. Levine is because we didn’t either until we took a gander at his bio. Seems he’s the Chair of the NYC Health Council. Hrm. Wonder if he has any connection to their Health Commissioner who told thousands of New Yorkers to go to Chinatown to prove they weren’t racists when Trump started banning travel from China.
Anywho, Mark wants you all to know wearing a mask is not a political statement.
WEARING A MASK IS NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT.
It is a statement that you believe in science. And that you care about protecting the people around you.

Huh.
Oh, and about that whole Chinatown connection?

Truly inspiring.
SCIENCE!
People are prob skeptical because they were told at first they don't need to wear a mask because science
Then they were told don't gather in groups because of science
Then they were told but protesting is safe because science https://t.co/ROMfcLha2E

Science sure seems like a fickle b*tch these days, ya’ know?
When you've politicized the hell out of coronavirus, don't be mad when it becomes a political issue

Ding ding ding.
Anyone from NYC should probably take a seat. So many of them.
Unless you're rioting . . . then it's called a disguise.

If you’re rioting apparently the virus won’t bother you because racism is more dangerous or something.
SCIENCE!
Should have thought of that before you politicized it.
You screwed up. Majorly. It's over.

Yup.
Nah. It’s boisterous defiance. You used to champion that.
— 100 Proof (@ChampionCapua) June 19, 2020
You literally politicized it
— Pounce de León (@RightAllTheTime) June 19, 2020
Literally.
Compelled statements of belief are never okay.

Mr. Meeseeks rules.
‘Nuff said.
I was told by science that masks are bad for you. Hard pass. I’ll choose science and not wear a mask.
