CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta asked them…
A got an earful…..
On Thursday night, Acosta asked several attendees of Trump’s Freeland, Michigan rallywhy they weren’t wearing masks to prevent the spread of coronavirus infections, even after the revelation that Trump knew in early February that the virus was much more deadly than the seasonal flu, yet continued to “downplay” the threat.
“Why are you guys not wearing masks?” Acosta asked an attendee.
“I have one with me, it’s my prerogative,” the man answered.
“But why not wear one and stay safe?” the masked correspondent asked.
“Well I have a hard time understanding people when they talk, so that’s why I don’t wear ’em,” the man answered. Protective masks cover the mouth and nose, which are not auditory organs in humans.
“You can hear me right now?” Acosta asked, to which the man replied “I can hear you.”
“Sir, why are you not wearing a mask?” Acosta asked another man, who shot back “Because it’s no Covid. It’s a fake pandemic. Created to destroy the United States of America.”
“But the president said to Bob Woodward that there is a virus, the coronavirus, that is deadly,” Acosta said.
“That’s his opinion,” the man said, then repeated a debunked falsehood about the death toll.
“Does it wear you guys at all to be in this crowded space with all these people?” Acosta asked another potential transmission vector.
“I am not afraid,” the man said. “The good Lord takes care of me. If I die, I die! We got to get this country moving. We can’t, what are you going to do wear masks and stay inside for another year? Huh? Where will that get us?”…

A bunch typical Republicans .
Remember this is over 40% of the country.
But after all ,it’s all fake.
Those people aren’t really dead and
Oh yes,they are….
Pro “life.”
Masks protect others, so their philosophy must be the ever-altruistic “I’m all right, Jack!”, where Jack = “Loser”.
Not important for the wearer of the mask , eh DSD?
Fauci just told Wolf Blitzer that with a vaccine we could beat down 75% of the virus….
He feels that even with vaccine other things need to be done….
Fauci now is actually on the air countering Trump…. Public Health measures done across the country IS the ANSWER….
Hint?
No ‘leadership’ from the top?
Fauci cautions the ‘hunker down’ does NOT mean shut downs … It means KEEP the simple things like hand washing, masking, distancing….tea
Fauci also says those cautions for the virus works also against the flu….
He also says in area’s with high infections means be MORE restrictive ….
He knocks the idea that people who test positive weeks after having the virus still are second infected…That he says is NOT TRUE….
They have inactive past virus in them that are NOT infection’s…
