For some reason, a lot of liberals out there seem to be under the impression that lifting the mask mandate for airplanes and other public transportation is the same thing as a ban on wearing masks in airplanes and other public transportation.
- Valerie Jarrett will continue to wear a mask in her car no matter what non-scientists say
- Roland Martin dials the masking hysteria up to 11 — and promptly gets busted for major hypocrisy [pics]
- Blue-checked comedy writer offers up baffling commentary on lifted public transportation mask mandate and it’s all downhill from there
What they fail to realize is that we literally could not care less if they want to keep their mask on in public spaces — or even in private spaces. We just don’t care. But the way they’re making such a big deal out this, it’s pretty clear that they really, really, really want us to care.
Here’s another try-hard wannabe-warrior. Her name is Dr. Emily Ricotta, and she’s an epidemiologist who refuses to be allowed to decide if she wants to wear a mask:

Of course we had to screenshot it, because obviously:
So stunning! So brave!
Nice poorly-fitting cloth mask you have there. https://t.co/PxmSDzD2k7

Her Twitter handle is “@Iplaywithgerms.” She studies infectious diseases. So you’d think that she of all people would be able to demonstrate proper masking technique.
You’d think an epidemiologist would wear a properly fitted N95. But this genius chose an ill fitting, virtue signaling, theater piece. https://t.co/K5cYXw389w

If I can stick my fingers in both sides of your mask I'm pretty sure the virus can get in too. https://t.co/ayWnyyjw8n

Dr. Ricotta has not only left herself vulnerable to COVID, but, even worse for her, she’s left herself vulnerable to mockery. Quite a bit, in fact.
And all of it well deserved.
Really surprising that this approach isn’t more effective at winning converts https://t.co/wfe3Zl3RWa

The soldiers who stormed Normandy don’t hold a candle to your bravery

Not just bravery, but *defiant* bravery.
Shh, she’s “in defiance” of … no one dictating her behavior.

This is not how mandates and defiance work. Trust me, I'm an englishologist. https://t.co/wwEcAKmONm

Imagine being a doctor but not knowing what "mandate" means. You aren't in "defiance" of anything except perhaps the vibe check. https://t.co/kDCav2tr2K

Heh.
Another lunatic that doesn’t understand the concept of “optional”.

So you’re protesting by wearing two masks to the airport — something that you’ve been allowed to do for your entire life. That’s one hell of a protest. Thank you for being so brave. (Also, just FYI, masks do nothing to make anyone safer it’s all cosmetic theater.) https://t.co/7wqW8CqNU7

You should probably quadruple mask so you'd be twice as safe. https://t.co/PJQn2solvq
— Tom Bevan (@TomBevanRCP) April 21, 2022
Good idea. You can never be too safe. Or too insane.
In light of the fact that there is *still* no federal mandate requiring I wear a Viking helmet, I will now wear two at the airport. One on my head and one as a codpiece. You can't make me not wear something the government never stopped me from wearing in the first place! https://t.co/45lDSFqPCd

Emily walked so Iowahawk could run.
This isn’t “defiance” of anything.
YOU are free to wear as many masks as you want. You just cannot force others to do the same.
That’s the great thing about removing mandates. We all get to choose what we think is the right thing to do.
Also, enjoy irrelevance. https://t.co/AJuqFOYeKk— Christina Pushaw 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) April 21, 2022
Don’t worry. She will. Emily brings sass to irrelevance!
