"Why are you still asking fans to mask in 2024?" "Because more than 1000 people a week are still dying from covid." "Just a bunch of old people and people with weak immune systems." "That's us. That's many of our fans." Thanks for understanding as we head out to midwest tour!
@deerhoof You folks are awesome!! I’m in Australia so won’t be seeing you anytime soon, but I’m stoked to see a caring, science-based band that gives a shit. Nothing more punk than masking!
@deerhoof I like your band, and I don't want to be a contrarian or d*ck, but have you taken a proper look at the claims for and against masking actually doing anything? If I were at your gig I'd be that one guy. Not because I "don't care", but bcoz I don't like unevidenced group think.
@deerhoof "Just,,,,people with weakened immune systems," will be you after a few covid infections. Maybe one day the minimizers will keep this in mind.
@deerhoof Thank you !I wish more bands and venues would do the same!
@deerhoof Thank you for continuing to lead on this!
