In your post is a big reason for the strong pushback right now. Basically you seem to see it as the evolution of safety - Seat Belts Required, No Smoking, and now Masks Required In Many Settings. A large number of us do not want American society and rules to evolve in that direction and do not see it in terms of "It's Probably Safer Isn't It - Just Comply".

Mask optional come March 1. It’s the law.

-1. FCPS files a lawsuit next week on the issue of local control and asks for a TRO.

On what legal basis?? State law says no mask mandate. Even if, arguendo, 2 state laws conflict, the more specific one controls. Hence, the mask mandate ban controls.

FCPS is addicted to racking up the L's. They need another one for their trophy case of idiocy.

VA ACLU seems to argue it’s discrimination against people with special needs to allow mask optional but I don’t think they will win, personally. The mask rule as is - that allows cloth is totally pointless. And you should do a stricter mask mandate in a time of widespread vaccine.

Expect the vaccines don’t stop transmission and wear off quickly.

Could be. FCPS is on a mission to get more Republicans elected.

False and false. Vaccines make you over two and a half times less likely to catch Covid, and you can’t spread what you don’t get.

Vaccines continue to provide significant protection long after your last dose.

They protect well against severe disease. Stop denigrating them.

I think that may be a tall order. I think most of us would prefer unelecting some of the SB incumbents. I don’t see an R winning. Maybe they sit out from the areas they can’t win, and some independents push out those there now. Independent Fairfax doesn’t mean Rs take it all. Just those who the FCDC selected. Just a thought.

The “wear off quickly” crowd doesn’t understand T Cell immunity.

I’m just looking at midterms right now. Not the 2023 SB yet.

FCDC expunged a few people trying to get more sane candidates on the sample ballot from the rolls last month. I don’t know what group has enough pull with senior citizens who remember FCPS from the 90s and vote D to change it up.

Maybe Chap’s PAC will be able to help.
