Ban "single-use plastic bags" to carry home just about every single item you've bought in the grocery store THAT'S WRAPPED IN PLASTIC! 🥴 Why didn't single-use plastic bags for fruits and veggies or leaky meat get whacked? 🤔 Make it make sense!!

I always ask, what about all those face masks?

Tossed on the ground. Tossed into waterways. Never "recycled."

And, some poster had asked this very important question, "if covid is so dangerous, why aren't face masks put into biohazard bins"?

You would think those masks would be covered with covid "germs."

...and all that sweat and bacteria that would be percolating on the inside surface.

When I was forced to wear a mask at the VA, or I would be denied needed medical care, by the time I took it off, it was soaking wet on the inside.

Because I have pulmonary problems, wearing a mask made me feel like I was suffocating. In turn, my anxiety increased, and my breathing became more labored.

It’s really criminal, what they did 😡 My son would take off his mask at school because he couldn’t breathe right with it and got yelled at for it 🙄 And his former pediatrician wouldn’t write an exemption 😡

What always bothered me about the VA insisting on wearing a mask, or being denied medical care, was that they had no concern for veterans suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety, traumatic brain injury, or military sexual trauma.

Can you imagine being a veteran who was sexually assaulted in the military? Imagine the perpetrator holding their hands over a person's mouth to keep them from calling out for help.

Did wearing a mask force that veteran to relive that trauma?

I know, it’s pure evil. Especially when they knew it didn’t really do anything to prevent illness. Mask and compliance über alles 😡

Funny you brought up this rape (also domestic abuse or kidnapping) survivor scenario. That was my FIRST reaction to the mask mandates.😡 The re-living of their trauma. Not just confined to military, of course.
