How about posters spreading misinformation about a pandemic, like that masks don't work?
Show me proof that masks work.
I don't care what the CDC says. The CDC says Obama's party and BLM demonstrations/riots aren't superspreader events, but Sturgis is. So show me studies that verify the efficacy of masks. Statements by Dr. Fauci aren't studies.

There used to be invention called "Google" that lets you find these kind of information on your own, if you're interested in them. You don't need other people for that. But whatever, here you go:

(If this article for whatever reasons doesn't convince you... don't dismiss the topic out of hand, try to use Google on your own instead.)
Of course, the spread of the virus in open spaces is always much more subdued and therefore somewhat negligable compared to the spreading rate in closed spaces. This is why I never really obeyed my own government's rules on wearing masks in the open as opposes to closed spaces - based on the scientific asssessments I had read.
I'm also pretty positive that "CDC says Obama's party" constitutes some form of logical fallacy.

now that we've cleared that up can you please tell your GOP buddies here to stop spreading misinformation that could help spread a deadly disease?

This was not in the general discussion section but seriously when is this poster going to be told to stop? See part in bold. How is that not a direct violation of the subject line of this thread?

Starting to think Lincoln Project amplified this on purpose to bring attention back to Cville and how racist the GOP is generally. If so, good move. The Trumpkintards are no longer talking about education (another losing issue for them nonetheless).

This is my take on this matter, that I wrote earlier today about Covidiots, but it can be used for this as well:
I've been thinking about this (kind of like Spicolli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.)
In an ideal (natural) world (meaning viruses would still exist) people would not act like this, so nobody would have to think such things. However, not only is human behavior far from ideal, but the options to address human behavior that causes negative externalities is limited, so is far from ideal as well.
Many of us have mocked loudmouth anti-vaxxers and COVID-19 deniers for getting COVID-19 and dying of it. I have no qualms about after-the-fact mockery of the stupid. I think of a fellow who was doing everything wrong... losing control of his car and being thrown out of it because he was watching pornographic video on a hand-held device even as he was going onto a freeway off-ramp. Of course he was killed. If he had instead been watching a Billy Graham Crusade (which obviously isn't so distracting) it would be mere pathos. But here we have stupidity that shouts "Don't do this!" Pornography is distracting in the extreme. I can't imagine worse.
Oh, by the way -- his pants were down.

Sometimes it is simply the case that people need to die from their own stupidity or selfishness to either act as a warning for other people or to simply rid the world of those people.
That is the rationale behind the death penalty. Armed robbers who kill someone have put another person's life below some often-small amount of money in a till. As far as that goes, every armed robbery is a potential murder, and the Michigan criminal code treats armed robberies that do not result in death as severely as attempted first-degree murder.

Reality can be very dark as well, especially when dealing with cold equations.
Scientific reality often appears in cold, seemingly-lifeless equations. Maxwell's equations about electricity (no, I do not understand them( are about as bloodless material as I can imagine.
