Today's the day the State of Emergency is officially over, although you might still have to wear a mask in certain places, like hospitals. So go out and celebrate. But maybe first pause for a moment in memory of the more than 17,000 Massachusetts residents who died.

YOU stay inside
You're the problem. If you want to join society, accept responsibility, do your part. Otherwise you're just a lazy freeloader.
nah thats not good for your heart.
Not willing to risk it, not for my bad heart. How am I a freeloader if I pay taxes?? I did the mask thing when mandatory. Stop shaming people for being different you clown.

You have a bad heart
You don't get the vaccine.
You should be surcharged on your insurance accordingly. The risks of the vaccine are <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< than the risks of the disease, honey.
