Burn it to the ground.
Aug. 23rd, 2022 06:45 pmAs the CDC is relaxing it's Covid restrictions, particularly pertaining to the equal treatment of vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, and their mask protocols, the whiny, cowardly, selfish, sanctimonious, ableist, jackasses running CokoCon2022 have tripled down on the crazy.
We were already not planning to go this year, but based on their updated Covid policy, I'm never giving money to these people, ever again.
I just read the following in an email from Cokocon:
"Long story short, we're requiring vaccination in all attendees 5 and over, which means either the two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna or the one of the Johnson & Johnson. We're not requiring booster shots but we do recommend them. We're also requiring that masks be worn at all times in convention space by attendees 5 and over, and be worn properly, unless eating or drinking.
This policy will be strictly enforced, and there are NO EXCEPTIONS. If you cannot wear a mask for physical, psychological or ideological reasons, please do not attend the convention. We know this may be unpleasant news for some of you, but this is a public health issue and is not subject to debate."
With self serving arrogance they are dismissing, as trivial, the physical and/or psychological disabilities some people have pertaining to wearing a mask; this blatant discrimination treats them as lesser humans not worthy of any level of consideration or reasonable accommodation.
Even worse, in my book, they want 5 year olds in masks, and vaccinated. They are even willing to deceive their parents to achieve that goal.
If you go to the CokoCon2022 website, you will find they allow for a 72hour in advance Covid negative test in lieu of vaccination; they make no mention of this option in the email, only mentioning the vaccine requirement. I'm pretty sure they are trying to stay out of trouble with our state law prohibiting discrimination based on vaccination status, but really hope you're too lazy to go all the way to the website to realize the difference in the requirements.
I do not wish to associate with a community that will sacrifice babies on the altar of their perceived safety. They are dumb, and evil.
Burn it to the ground. I'm out.
