If Masks Work, Why Do Libs Remove Them for Pictures?

Do cameras magically erase Cooties?

I got vaccinated against COVID-19 last spring, and with each passing day since, I care less and less about the hypochondriac fearmongering that is the media’s business model. Like most Americans who don’t work in a newsroom, I’ve gone back to normal.¹ I wasn’t really worried about the Delta variant, and I’m worried even less about the Omicron variant. I mean, I’m not going around licking doorknobs or anything. I still carry hand sanitizer and almost never sneeze directly on other people. But the vaccine works and I’m glad I got it.

Masks? Not so much. They don’t work, but a lot of people don’t care. They’re acting like a mask is some sort of magical talisman. They’re literally angry about other people breathing.

Former Hooters spokesperson @jaketapper attacks Ted Cruz for not wearing a mask while seated next to Amy Klobuchar. Tapper is maskless & seated next to Klobuchar while he’s saying this.

If you think that was dumb, here’s Tapper just a few days later:

Some great entries for the annual CNN Christmas sweater contest! (Everyone is vaccinated and we took masks off for the photos)

If being vaccinated is sufficient protection while you’re being photographed, why doesn’t it work the rest of the time? How does the virus know how cute you look? Does it just stop what it’s doing until you’ve immortalized the moment?
