You know, you go out, it\u2019s silly now. You mask; you have to have a card; you have to have a booster; they scan your head like you\u2019re a cashier and I\u2019m a bunch of bananas. I\u2019m not bananas; you are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg ranted,&nbsp;\u201cThat\u2019s not really funny to people who\u2019ve lost their kids to this vaccine or people who have lost family members \u2026 listen, nobody on the planet really wants to go through this. This is not something we\u2019re doing because it\u2019s sexually gratifying. This is what we\u2019re doing to protect our families. And you don\u2019t have to do it, but stay away from everybody, because if you are the one who\u2019s not paying attention and you\u2019re coughing and sneezing, then stay out of the public, man. Nobody wants this. I don\u2019t want it. And I think he\u2019s forgetting people are still at risk who cannot get vaccinated, little kids under the age of five or people with health conditions. How dare you be so flippant, man?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s a prudence we\u2019ve learned with the mask, with the hand sanitizing, that, kind of 9\/11 with flying, is always going to be here now,\u201d Haines opined. \u201cThere\u2019s a new normal. In the beginning, at post 9\/11, people didn\u2019t want to fly, and the security measures felt like, \u2018Uhhh \u2026 how do we do this?\u2019 And now it\u2019s the norm. I think some of the things we\u2019ve learned in this pandemic are going to stay the same. I may never ride a subway again without a mask. I may never go indoors to big crowds and ever feel comfortable without a mask. And that\u2019s up to me to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I think is changing, though, are some of the things that are happening in treating this virus as it is right now, as we did in 2020 and 2021, because this Omicron variant, one interesting statistic is: if you\u2019re vaccinated and boosted, the deaths are now equal to the people dying of the flu each year,\u201d Haines acknowledged. \u201cSo people who are vaccinated and boosted and are being prudent, we need to learn how to coexist with this lesser variant. Highly transmissible but much less severe.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
