PROTESTS: Unmasking the truth

| October 6, 2021 1:00 AM

I’m saddened that the boisterous anti-mask protesters, with their threats of violence, succeeded in demanding their “Freedom to Infect.” (Masked Debate Dropped, Sept. 29)

They want their freedom to infect you. They want their freedom to infect me. They want their freedom to infect our children and anyone they come in contact with.

Patriotism is NOT acting selfishly and doing whatever you want, no matter how much it hurts those around you.

True patriotism is making personal sacrifices, for the greater good.

If wearing a mask is such a difficult personal hardship for these families, then they should stay away from public places, including school.

We ALL have the right to not be their victims, while they spread a deadly infection.
