    urged

    Sure. That’ll work like gangbusters.

    Also - I’d bet my life savings that if Newsom or his other accounts posts about it on social media - it will merely be easily ignorable, factual, and bland. In the US - Public health is now entirely political. Plus Newsom is already running for 2028 and he is looking far beyond the primary to the general. He wants as many GOP votes as he can grab. And chuds hate masks - terrible pun incoming - like the plague.

      It doesn’t stop the spread, and you can still get infected, but just suffer less from it. Mask

      The vaccine isn’t sterilizing so it won’t help you from catching it. Wearing a well-fitted N95 is the only proven thing that can do that.

      some blue states are 2/3-assing vaccine distribution, the problem here is the liberals lacking for the last five years

    Oh look. The less popular opinion was the correct opinion. As always.

    Fucking “leftists” of all stripes won’t even wear a mask here, we’re cooked.

    Edit: not all though, to be fair.

    Reminder that masks are useful for anonymity too. I guess your average American thinks that’s tyrannical as well
