She said she was wearing a colloidal silver mask. I looked it up and they look like regular masks but covered with silver so I don’t understand why she would’ve been thrown off the plane unless she is lying. Which they often do.

Me.

so they don't have to say we were right. Now that we are all getting protected they only have themselves to fear and that is probably scaring them to death because they know who and what they are.

In adults
There is some overlap in ODD symptoms between children and adults. Symptoms in adults with ODD include:

feeling angry at the world
feeling misunderstood or disliked
strong dislike for authority, including supervisors at work
identifying as a rebel
defending themselves vehemently and not being open to feedback
blaming others for their own mistakes


Diagnosis requires a pattern of disruptive behavior not linked to substance abuse or mental health episodes.

I think the "identifying a a rebel" really captures the allure of anti-vax-maskers.

I was just thinking back to my years working in the adolescent unit of a psychiatric hospital and how all the ODD kids remind me of today’s QOP.

a "this girl is on Pfizer" t-shirt so these idiots will stay away from me.

What happened to all their illnesses that preclude them from wearing masks?
