I get it, its nasty, but it should be up to the owners to decide. What's next, not serving regular soda due to diabetes? They tried!

This is such a great counterargument. If public health is so important, why aren't all unhealthy things outlawed?

No money in the cure!

Slippery slope argument. I don't buy it. The reason for smoking bans is to protect others, not to save people from themselves.

That's not on the employer when the federal government implements penalties for companies who don't comply with their restrictions, forcing companies to comply.

If you're not going to have a legitimate discussion, why comment?

Even in such a situation, employees have the choice to go get another job.

Just as you call Fauci an "expert" (rather than an expert) because you don't like what you hear from him, contributions to the discussion which are not to your liking are "illegitimate"?

Convenient that every celebrity/figurehead hasn't died from COVID despite being in the at risk population and ignoring their own words a majority of the time.

I am not really sure what you are getting at here. Are you saying no celebrities have died of Covid?

If you are saying that, are you saying that there is some type conspiracy theory sparing celebrities?

I think you've highlighted the basis of anger for the anti-mask/mandate argument. Pretty slippery slope, and hypocritical, no?

So you're in favor of the upheaval of the lives of individuals based on how government sees for?

I call Fauci an "expert" because he botched AIDS, is connected to the Wuhan Lab, and has flip flopped more than a pancake, all the whole collecting the largest taxpayer funded paycheck in our government.
