Why are so many protestors wearing masks?

Yes it's to protect against facial recognition and doxxing, but it's also to keep communities safe from COVID.

As an organizer puts it: "we deny the Biden administration’s narrative about COVID — that it’s no longer a big deal."

The pandemic, social media, and legal changes have encouraged left-wing activists to cover up.

@luckytran Still irked by the condescending tone: “…exposure to COVID-19 and other health risks, which some in the left-wing protest movements 👉believe👈 remain dire.”

Just some crazy left-wing “belief”, not at all backed up by hard data… 🙄

Similar to how I continue to wear a seatbelt, an attempt to make a point about flying through windshields and other health risks, which some in the “living in fear” movements believe remain dire.

We laughed at Trump in 2020 when he said "If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any"

But now western governments are using exactly that strategy to rationalize neglect and ignore long covid
