Covidiot takedown of the day
the poke - 2 months ago
Despite all the evidence that suggests it is a straightforward way of saving lots of lives, some people still refuse to wear a mask to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.
These people tend to be particularly vocal about it, and it’s always entertaining to see them taken down to the level they belong.
And this is a classic of the genre, shared by borsare11o and beerbellybegone over on Reddit.
Boom.
And just three of the many things people said about it.
‘Just like a condom, a mask only works if it covers the holes.’ Anna_Rapunzel
‘More importantly, those viruses are not airborne …’ oneredflag
‘Imagine the horror of airborne herpes or gonorrhea. No fucker would go outside without a damn spacesuit.’ MileysMooseKnuckle
