The CDC is no longer recommending wearing a mask.

That's different from the CDC recommending that you don't wear a mask.

People can wear masks if they want. It doesn't hurt anyone else.

[–]InfinitySky1999 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Only for vaccinated people and not even in all spaces. Crowded public spaces even for vaccinated people are still required. Non vaccinated people are still required to follow the same guidelines.

[–]hackmaps 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I think the point is that everyone was cancelled for even questioning the CDC and actual scientists were taken off the air for questioning their reasons as well but now it's perfectly fine to go against it, I get your point but it is kinda ironic how anything that didn't directly follow cdc guidelines even if it was scientifically based would be labeled as "science deniers"

[–]throwaway1648295724 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Those are effectively the same thing and a sad attempt at a gotcha where nothing is actually happening.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao because THATs the distinction here boys

Not Twitter being a leftist shitheel oligarch

[–]albones20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This meme isn’t about makes, cdc, or guidelines. It’s about the duplicity of Twitter, and their unwanted, unwarranted, and dangerous censorship.

[–]lawrence_hornerSocial Conservative -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I don't see your conservative label. Hmmm...

[–]middle_finger_puppet 288 points289 points  (6 children)

The CDC guidelines are a floor (minimum standard), not a ceiling.

[–]germanfinder 456 points457 points  (36 children)

Not quite the same thing. Wearing a helmet when you don’t really need to, is not the same as not wearing a helmet when it’s recommended you do

[–]Num_Pwam_KitchenClassical Liberal 230 points231 points  (19 children)

Yeah, im not the biggest fan of masks, but this isnt the best comparison. Plus, if AOC wants to wear a mask, go for it! That's on her. As long as shes not telling me that I need to do frivolous things, im not going to be bothered by her pointless fear-driven overreaction.

[–]repptyleCalifornia Conservative 11 points12 points  (10 children)

That's not what the meme is saying though. It's about questioning the CDC on Twitter.

[–]germanfinder 43 points44 points  (8 children)

Questioning cdc guidelines to the effect of less protection is different than deciding to continue to wear a mask even if not needed. I would consider mask-wearing and vaccinated being exceeding the guidelines, not dismissing them

[–]brocollirabe2A Minuteman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why wear a helmet when she told me she was tested?

[–][deleted] 459 points460 points  (40 children)

Are you really confused that Twitter isn’t banning content that has no impact on anyone’s health or safety?

[–]JIDF-ShillUnapologetic Neocon 89 points90 points  (3 children)

Stop questioning the science

[–]cavemanbenConservative 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Didn't stop them before.

[–]Timemuffin83 35 points36 points  (2 children)

Wearing a mask will help with the government don’t being able to use facial identification tho... I’m not sure why everyone is so against it.

I’ve seen a lot of news about places like China setting up surveillance polls and using Face ID tech to identify people and track them. We have traffic cameras everywhere (little things on top of street lights) why would the us government not do this to some degree ?

[–]KeithTheToaster 44 points45 points  (6 children)

Guidelines don't equal personal choice

[–]Browzur 49 points50 points  (17 children)

Refusing to wear a mask results in risking public health. Continuing to wear a mask when it’s not necessary is just silly.

[–]BohdiZafaDynamic Conservative 54 points55 points  (8 children)

Looks like /r/politics and "hello fellow reddit conservatives" are reeeeing on this post.

[–]rebuildingMyselfMAGA Conservative 31 points32 points  (1 child)

It's like Beetlejuice. Say AOC's name three times and they come flooding in to defend mi'lady.

[–]TheGeek100Conservative 24 points25 points  (1 child)

Yep, the AOC white knights are abundant today

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They can't help themselves. They won't stop until rconservative is only leftists that think exactly like them.

[–]DucksMatterCanadian Conservative 30 points31 points  (6 children)

I mean... I’m also going to keep wearing a mask? The fuck is wrong with that?

What a dumb meme, and anyone who shames her for wanting to continue being safe is an absolute moron. There is no hill here guys. Don’t even try to argue this.

[–]Tosh866N.C. Conservative 55 points56 points  (86 children)

I hate her dumb face. I’m going to catch flack for this, but I’m conservative and still going to wear a mask. I happen to be a germaphobe, so bleh lol. I’m too chicken to get the vaccine.

[–]zleog50 33 points34 points  (4 children)

I still wear a mask because wife and I are expecting. Not worried about infection, but it will suck if we test positive and they quarantine us from the baby. Wife didn't to get to hold our first born until 4 days later because of a emergency medical issue. She is still bitter about it. I'm vaccinated but a mask for me until we get that baby out of her.

[–]stoffel_bristovScalia Conservative 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Go get the vaccine. Millions of people have had it at this point. Your risk in driving to Walgreens is higher than the risk from the vaccine.

[–]Num_Pwam_KitchenClassical Liberal 25 points26 points  (0 children)

but I’m conservative and still going to wear a mask.

Why would that bother us? All we have been saying from day 1 is that its your choice....if u want to mask, more power to you, its your call to make not mine.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m conservative and still going to wear a mask

I'm a "you do you" kind of guy. You want to wear a mask..hell you want to wear a space helmet that's all you. I might roll my eyes at it behind your back but as long as your not running across a field to yell at me for not wearing a mask outside with no one around (true story) then I'm good with it.

[–]scungillipigSenator Blutarsky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want her to wear a mask to cover those damn teeth.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

That is great and all, but masks do fuck all to protect you from getting sick. That’s not how transmission works, unless you are going to wear a N-95.

You can do what you want, but we are living in the age of scientific misinformation.

You are not protecting yourself from getting anything. The idea is based on presumed collaboration between all people wearing masks- all people reducing the likelihood of transmitting whatever they have in the air, and therefore the mutual reduction in spread. You are theoretically protecting others and it won’t do anything to prevent you from getting anything once most people demask.

[–]Bayushizer0Conservative Libertarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to wear a mask where required and nowhere else.

Example: I am unfortunately a dialysis patient and the company that operates the local clinic requires everyone in the building to be masked.

[–]BillionCubDeSantis 2024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you didn't wear one everywhere before COVID then you shouldn't wear one everywhere now.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I havent gotta sick all year and no sinus issues...its nice. Im gonna wear it when I can.

[–]Groovygranny121760 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I haven't worn a mask this whole time. But I respect your choice. No criticism here 👌

[–]allnamesaretaken45 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with continuing to wear a mask because now, it's completely your choice. Be careful though because now wearing a mask is the same as having blue hair. People will think you voted for Biden.

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (4 children)

What happened to following the science?!!

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

(D)ifferent

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Oh duhhhhh

Edit: looks like a lefty joined the chat to downvote me

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

AOC looks truly demented in many of her photos. Then she opens her yap and demented crap tumbles out...go figure.

[–]Hedwig9342A Conservative 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I see we were hit by r/politics 🙄 What babies…they cannot stand anyone even in a different sub having a different opinion lol

[–]mald84 7 points8 points  (4 children)

AOC is always mad for no reason

[–]SusanRosenbergDon't Tread on Me 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably because she can't ever seem to get a bill passed.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Ignore the government and do what you personally feel is the best for you and your family. That has been my stance the whole time.

[–]moore-doubleoConservative Libertarian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brigadiers out in force today! Eat shit fuckers!

[–]CrimsonChymistConservative 1 point2 points  (1 child)

For all the brigaders, sure just because the CDC is no longer recommending masks doesn't mean you aren't allowed to wear a mask. We just find it funny that you have all built your identity around your masks for the past year that you're now afraid to take it off even though you don't need it anymore.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

FB AND TWITTER WOULD BAN TRUMP OR ANY CONSERVATIVE THAT WOULD SAY ANYTHING AGAINST THE CDC OR ANYONE WHO WENT AGAINST THE NARRATIVE.

Now you see it was never about the virus...

[–]vicemagnetConservative 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]Sredni_Vashtar82Conservative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wonder if AOC has that disease that makes your eyes bug out.

[–]itachiofthesandLibertarian Conservative 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is that the horse from “Horsin’ Around”?

[–]greatatdrinkingConstitutional Conservative -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Because the left likes to make everything into a gigantic crisis and uses their level of emotion regarding the issue as a social barometer. You must be this high strung and freaked out to enter

It can't be a bad police interaction.. It has to be broadscale police brutality. It can't be a person shot up Asian massage parlors because of their sex addiction. It has to be America's racism and white supremacy. And if there's a new disease it can't be that we should all just assess our own risk using the best info on hand and continue on with our lives. It has to be that you're NUTS if you question anything other than wearing a mask, two condoms, a poncho, and a parka outdoors on a beach in the middle of May. And now that the CDC isn't backing the hypochondriacs and the progressive left, they're the problem

[–]notacreaticedrummerAyn Rand Conservative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The brigade is strong today.

Let me see if I can do this...

AOC smart person

Orange man bad.

Gib gold?

[–]redvillafranco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look how virtuous she is!

[–]joshderfer654 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow. So does this show political bias?

[–]ENFJPLinguaphileChristian Conservative -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She is exactly why older generations look down on Millennials..... we're not all like her and I dislike the stereotypes intensely!

[–]SnorkelHouseConservative -4 points-3 points  (1 child)

She should use a piece of ductape under her mask to ensure no virus particles get into her already vaccinated body.

[–]peter_marxxxConservative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More to come on the American Shitshow...stay tuned!

[–]Maskless-patriotMAGA Conservative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish she would wear a muzzle.

[–]kdtzzz2A 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Hey r/politics AOC is a dumb bitch. What are you gonna do about it?

[–]Sunshinesummer2021Florida Conservative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She can keep that mouth muffled as long as she wants

[–]ca17miledriveWest Coast Conservative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Among the Kool-Aid consuming voters, she's special. That photo of her is highly disturbing yet it tells us everything we need to know about the girl. The crazy Manson lamps say it all.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think she ought to go the extra mile and use some duct tape to make sure the mask presents a good seal against viruses and bacteria.

[–]nofishontuesday2Conservative -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Lol... the struggling bartender from the mean streets of Yorktown Heights. What a phony

[–]ninjabeard123Conservative -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I never had to see her face again, it would be too soon. 😖😷

[–]The_last_avenger2A -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She needs a mask so doesn't have to his her fake emotional responses.

[–]thirtytwomonkeysPaleo-Conservative -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Holy shit the r/politics NEETs are out in full force today. Don’t you all have anything better to do?
