Stacey Abrams wades into school mask debate after maskless photo with children

WASHINGTON — In normal times, a politician could hardly do something less controversial than pose for a photo with kids. But these are not normal times.

Stacey Abrams, the Georgia Democrat making her second run for governor, faced intense blowback Monday after sharing — and then quickly deleting — a photo of her smiling unmasked face surrounded by masked elementary school children.

Abrams visited a Decatur elementary school to promote reading and Black History Month. But not since George W. Bush continued reading "The Pet Goat" to Florida students on Sept. 11, 2001, has such a benign event turned into such a political blunder.

Abrams, who supports school mask mandates, was immediately accused of hypocritically violating the school's mask policy and pilloried by Republican politicians and conservative media outlets.

Democrats say the controversy is much ado about nothing, noting that Abrams wore a mask to the school and removed it only for the photo and a speech.

But the photo touched a nerve, Republicans say, because it displays the out-of-touch piety that they say leads liberals to impose onerous societal norms without feeling obligated to always follow them themselves.

If anyone should have been wearing a mask it should have been that fat, jabba the hut looking broad with the high blood pressure and diabetes.

Given that the vaccine does not prevent you from catching or transmitting the virus, what does your vaccination status have to do with him wearing a mask?

That is their decision. Every service person who has worked here since the pandemic took hold, the roofers, the hardwood floor installer, the gardeners, the furniture delivery/setup people, etc. when given the choice chose to dispense with wearing a mask. I assume it is because wearing a mask while doing physical labor is very uncomfortable.

Obviously, a household of vaccinated people is no guarantee we cannot gift the virus to someone or they us. It is also not like we get intimate with everyone who comes here to work. Most people stand further away from one another these days. Whether it is 6' or not, who knows? The gardeners have never worn masks. I’m fine with that.

It is not like I am the mask or vaccine police. This is my home; I am not required to mandate mask wearing like the grocery store is. If I choose to give folks that option, it is my business and theirs how it works out.

I'm not questioning whether you can choose to wear or mask or require someone to wear one, etc.  I'm asking why whether or not you are vaccinated makes a difference whether anyone else wears a mask?

And I am saying that I tell them this as a courtesy in the event they feel obligated to wear one while working. No doubt most reputable businesses require their reps and workers to show up wearing a mask. I also said that it likely makes no difference, therefore it is for them to decide how they wish to proceed.

It doesn't matter whether it is a valid thing to tell them or not. What matters is without exception they've chosen to dispense with mask wearing. If I were a doctor or a virologists, I might be liable for giving them bad information, they got COVID and could prove it was because I gave them permission to go sans mask if they so choose.

Why do you have the habit of creating arguments when there is nothing to argue about?

I'm not arguing with you about anything.  I'm just asking a question.  Lots of people get defensive and feel attacked when people ask them questions.     

You also don't appear to understand how illogical your comments are.  If getting the vaccine does not stop you from spreading the virus, then it doesn't matter whether someone who comes into your home is wearing a mask or not.  You can still pass the virus to them.  In fact, you're probably more likely to do so when you're vaccinated, because if you do have the virus while vaccinated then you are likely to be asymptomatic. 

But I was trying to understand what your thinking was.  Silly me.  lol

This goes back to my original response which was that it is their decision not only whether to take the mask off or not but to decide if my comments were stupid and illogical. In my experience, my saying this seems to give them permission to make that choice...and without exception they chose to remove their masks.

If you are saying that you made those comments to make the other person feel comfortable, knowing that your comments were illogical, then I can understand that.  I did this the other day when I asked someone I was meeting with whether they would feel more comfortable if I wore my (completely useless cloth mask), knowing that doing so would do nothing to stop me from unknowingly spreading the virus to this person, but would make them feel better. 

Not sure if that was your approach, which is why I was asking whether you actually understood that your comments were illogical.

By George, I think you finally got it! That is exactly what I was doing. Most of these guys are wearing a mask because their employer requires it, not because the want to.

Wow a dem with balls.

More than likely just a Dem hoping to keep his seat.  If he is re-elected, the "science" would then dictate reinstating mandates "for the children."

Voters aren't smart enough to foresee this which is why they have to be convinced every 2 years not to vote for democrats. Short memories I guess.

CDC's Unchanged Mask Policy Blasted as a 'Total Clown Show'
Townhall.com ^ | 16 February A.D. 2022 | Katie Pavlich
Posted on 2/16/2022, 3:28:37 PM by lightman

Despite a number of countries around the world and U.S. states dropping Wuhan coronavirus restrictions, including vaccination and masking requirements, Centers for Disease Control Director Rochelle Walensky said Wednesday the agency is not changing current mask guidelines at this time.

"Many of these state-based policies have come out in phased approaches that they are talking about, you know, something that might happen in a week or two. Masks that might come off in a week or two at the end of February, early March. And so of course, our metrics are going to examine," Walensky said during a briefing with reporters. "As I previously said, issues related to cases, certainly issues related to severity of disease and hospital capacity. And we anticipate that many of these will intersect in terms of timing."

Walensky's remarks are being blasted as unscientific, especially for children.
