How pray tell does this have anything related to Ms. Sale or figure skating??
This was actually quite commonly used by anti-vaxxers in the US pre-Covid actually (not the mask part, but they did protest childhood vaccine requirements by wearing yellow stars that said "non-vax" on them). Sad that it has spread.
I had a FB friend (who was a friend in real life) compare vaccines to the yellow star too. I called him out on it on his FB post and he blocked me. We haven't spoken since and I have zero regrets.
There is a reason this thread is in the Trash Can forum.
Because the people judging me for being safe seem to have have similar viewpoints to her?
And the irony is that they're calling everyone else sheep when they themselves are partaking in group-think and sheep-like (cult-like) behavior themselves.
Why are you even on this forum? Surely Truth Social would be a better avenue for you?
Sorry for your problems with those who followed the mask instructions just because they had to , not because it made sense to. Many thousands of PPL had Omnicron and passed it on and didn't know it as they were asymtomatic. I got it and was asymtomatic so only knew because of tests. Although we do not have to I always wear a mask when I go out and sanitize hands and cart so that if for some reason I picked it up again I would not pass it on.
But at a certain point, people have to be held responsible for their own actions and take control of their own learning. The people reading Tweets by Jamie clearly have a connection to the internet and can also do the research on their own (from actual professionals in the field) if they so choose. Liking her posts or even using them as a 'source' is almost always just backing up what people already think. In rural USA, as I'm from such a region, people think they know better in their bubble of a world yet their friends circle is all very (literally) vanilla and their information sources are typically said friends and family (ex. "Nobody voted for [fill in the blank]. I don't know a single person! It's all fake!"). And there are also said people that are annoyed by mainstream and supposed groupthink and will just argue the opposite every time, which in turn makes them get the attention they apparently need.
If 20 other athletes that said person follows say the opposite and the person still listens to Jamie's side, there was no hope to begin with. They are seeking out further 'evidence' of what they A) already either think or B) want to push as a means of being rebellious against the established norm.
....Which is the point I was making and countering against what you said. Jamie Sale being stupid is not justification for everyone else not doing the research.
Because I was a figure skater on the international and national team many years ago
I am assuming the same is true for yourself?
How many years ago?Because I was a figure skater on the international and national team many years ago
I think it is likely a very recent opinion that developed during the pandemic.There are times when I wonder if she had her children vaccinated when they were little and this is a more recent opinion influenced by Q nuts and the Covid pandemic
She’s in a cult too so oblivious to the harm. She would have to be deradicalized .. which can be complicated.
