god im not starting shit on the post but "medical and pharmaceutical companies thank you for your long term patronage" really does not work as a thing to shame anti maskers. this is not a system i get to opt out of even by masking. unfortunately, i really dont think masking is pwning the predatorily priced healthcare system in the usa. especially considering how many of the ppl who are still doing it are unfortunately beholden to it anyway for some other fucking reason. fuck, even if i didnt have medications i take everyday anyway, the company i buy n95s from is a fucking medical /surgical supply company? its such a weird. just. no.

#toy txt post #vague #the quality of your memes is all over the map #pwning the healthcare system by refusing to get treated bc its expensive and the mask is only one layer of protection #i know its 'not that deep' its 'just a meme' but i Do Not Like the implications of that particular meme. eugh #if the government stepped up and made all that healthcare for covid complications free and ended for profit healthcare #we should still mask #i just #the idea that you can opt out of 'long term patronage' of medical and pharmaceutical companies as a choice is so fucking flawed #thats kind of the entire problem with the for profit system isnt it. cos you cant fucking opt out of it. you can take measures to avoid #getting sick but it wont always work and we need to have a collective approach to public health. not this weird individualistic shit.#even if you are masking. if youre not getting sick you are getting lucky to some degree. the mask is INCREASING YOUR PROTECTION #but it is not surefire and none of us should be acting this fucking. SMARMY about it. jesus.#idk i think its like this weird. youre not better than other ppl for Not Getting Sick? getting covid is not a divine punishment for the sin #of not masking. just blegh #reblogs off to hopefully avoid Starting Shit #but like even if you dont mask. i wish you would but i hope you get lucky. i hope you get lucky and dont get sick for your sake and all #those around you. genuinely. but i wish youd mask. if we all masked and vaccinated we could end this shit so much sooner. if we get #legislation and infrastructure improvements and funding we could end this sooner. imagine if we got infrastructure improvements that made #flu season disappear as a concept. imagine if we cut down on respiratory illness spread the way we did with fucking cholera after we #improved access to water sanitation #WE COULD HAVE A BETTER WORLD. STOP BEING PETTY ABOUT SHIT
