Brookline decision to keep outdoor mask mandate (because educated people are crazy now) reminds me of the vaccine itself and how the spike protein elicits an unpleasant inflammatory response:each step of a return to normalcy fought by a cultural immune system primed to torment us

Some of the coverage suggests that this is more a matter of deferring to their local public health committee over the CDC. No idea whether to believe it, but that sounds much less crazy than outdoor mask mandates forever.

that just reverts the question to why the ‘local public health committee’ is doing it

Yes I think this is an example of genuinely grassroots affection for the mandates which a year of fear has implanted in a very vocal, active, and influential minority

very strong parallels with postwar British rationing.

i didn't realize there was affection for that but i guess it makes sense people preferred universal privation to rising prices and a return to normal life
