Scott Morefield: Covidians And Their Paper-Thin Skins

Pre-Musk Twitter, pencil-necked leftist lords would simply censor anyone who dared to cite inconvenient truths. That’s because they don’t like to be challenged or even politely questioned openly. They know their dumb ideas can’t stand up to scrutiny, so instead of rethinking and revising those dumb ideas they look for ways to ‘win’ Silence the opposition to the debate

Since it is more difficult to silence the opposition on Twitter, some leftists have taken the silly step of blocking anyone who disagrees with their views. This is especially true of the Covidian Left, whose notoriously thin skin makes Donald Trump’s notoriously thin skin seem like rhinoceros hide. 

If you want an example of this, simply go to a random Covidian’s 2,476th post about how everyone should “mask up” You can avoid the literal plague by posting a counter-reply with data and/or mockery. If that reply gains any traction at all – and sometimes even if it doesn’t – you’ll be blocked faster than you can say “Fauci ouchie,” never again granted the privilege of seeing that Covidian’s wise and virtuous tweets (without a burner account anyway).

I’ve found this out the hard way more times than I can count, probably because I have a hard time abiding stupidity and I just can’t leave well enough alone. I find the pro-mask stuff particularly disgusting. It was bad enough in 2020. But 2023 is a different story. A bird-beak-wearing plague physician from the Middle Ages with a desire to heal your ailments with bloodletting and a good tonic of arsenic, mercury, and bloodletting has the same scientific credibility. These morons just won’t let it go, and countering their nonsense has become a civic duty at this point. This is what triggers THEIR ‘civic duty,’ This is to immediately stop me.

These are some examples: I was responding to a Covidian who posted a photo of her negative test, and then absurdly claiming that party guests would need to do the same. Write, “I’d hate for someone to get a sniffle. Can’t be too careful.” Blocked. In response to a Covidian telling us how she managed to avoid Covid until she couldn’t avoid it any longer, I empathetically Write, “My instinct is to make fun of you but what I feel is sadness for you. Imagine living this way for years to avoid a cold. It’s unsustainable, as you’ve found out, and even if it ‘worked,’ you’ve now wrecked your immune system. How could all that be worth it?” Again, blocked. A Covidian asked those still hiding to respond. “raise their hand,” I Just to be clear It was “an IQ test” They “failed miserably.” Predictably, Blocked. Heck, I’ve even been blocked by Taylor Lorenz and to my recollection, I’ve never once engaged with her feed.

Enter “Dr.” Lucky Tran, a leftist “science communicator” Columbia University. He is an ardent follower of the masking group. I thought I was following the trend with this guy, even though he had an especially snarky reaction to me. One of his calls For more than just masking, but for a return mandate to mask. Just trying to be helped out of a genuine concern for this clown’s state of mind, I Please reply, “Masks and mask mandates would make zero difference regarding transmission. Zero. You are in a cult. Seek help.”

Tran followed me thereafter. I then followed him back, because I’m always open to dialogue and debate with those who disagree with me. Another Tran post caught me eye shortly after.

“A leftist told me their excuse for not masking was that shaming individuals were not a good way to build solidarity,” He wrote. “You know what breaks solidarity? Locking the most vulnerable out of society because you won’t do the bare minimum.” Which I Please reply, “Your or anyone else’s health is not my responsibility. If the vulnerable think masks work, they are welcome to wear as many masks as they like, or even a respirator or hazmat suit. Nobody is stopping them.”

What did it mean? Insta-block! I’m thinking Tran had meant to block me on the previous post but accidentally clicked ‘follow’ instead. Fine. He has the full right to do this. However, it only reinforces my point about how conservatives embrace debate and leftists suppress it to protect their infuriating, untenable positions. 

Many people have posted to my Twitter timeline to criticize me, make fun of me, and call me names (that cuts deep Shrek!). Unless they are an obvious bot – and by obvious bot I mean some glamour shot with 0 followers whose profile says to contact her for a great time – I don’t block them. When I have time, I occasionally even engage them in the discussion, because that’s what Twitter is supposed to be about. This tells you all you need to know about the fact that nearly none of them do the same thing.
