Vaccinated New Yorkers are asked why they're still wearing masks outside: 'I shouldn't be given the privilege to not wear a mask'
Filmmaker Ami Horowitz — fresh off a video excursion in which he posed as a worker for made-up group "American Friends for Hamas" and easily convinced numerous Portland State University students to donate toward destroying Israel — set his sights on New York City and asked people vaccinated against COVID-19 why they're still wearing masks outside.
What did they say?
One woman replied, "It feels weird not to."
Another answered, "I just like it. I got used to it. I don't mind wearing it."
One guy actually told Horowitz he forgot he was wearing a mask while another masked fellow took what seemed like forever to answer the question — and then, probably wisely, replied, "No comment."
Another woman replied to Horowitz that even though she's vaccinated and outside, she feels compelled to stay masked up: "I feel like I have to wear it. I don't know why, I just want to wear it."
Yet another woman said since her friends are still wearing masks she believes she ought to as well.
"I feel like I won't take off my mask until everybody does," a different woman confessed.
A man in a tank top enjoying the pre-summer warmth told Horowitz that "there's just a lot of anxieties with taking the mask off, you know, for the first time ... it's like a social anxiety at this point."
Another guy said his desire was to "protect others, and there's still a risk no matter what" and that continuing to wear a mask "sets a visual example." He added that continuing to wear the mask is "a bit of a protest" and that "I shouldn't be given the privilege to not wear a mask."
To top it off, a woman who not only had COVID-19 and then was double vaccinated told Horowitz that her desire to continue wearing a mask stems from being "so infuriated with people who didn't wear a mask the whole year. It's like a display of 'I still care.'"

'American Friends for Hamas' asks Portland college students for donations to 'destroy Israel' — and the woke youngsters are only too happy to help
Ami Horowitz — a creator of digital shorts that throw conservative light on sociopolitical issues — is at it again.
What are the details?
Horowitz decided to pay a visit recently to left-wing bastion Portland State University to pose as a worker for "American Friends for Hamas" — a made-up group — who asks students to pledge donations in order to assist the terrorism-loving organization to carry out its mission to "destroy Israel."
And boy, did Horowitz lay it on thick for the camera.
"We're not your father's terrorist organization," he told students without a hint of tongue in cheek. "We've kind of evolved beyond that. It's still kind of what we do, but we've kind of rebuilt and rebranded ourselves and, you know ... Hamas is where it's at!"
Horowitz even added the telltale rolling tongue on the "H" for extra Middle Eastern authenticity.
He proceeded to tell students that his group was raising money to help "fund operations against Israel" — and that they were looking to hit "soft targets" in "civilian populations" such as cafes, schools, hospitals, and places of worship to "make 'em feel it."
And no students seen in the video ran for the hills upon hearing Horowitz's genocidal pitches.
"That's the only way you can fight back, really," he said.
Horowitz even likened a "suicide bomber" to "kind of like the poor man's F-15."
"Right, right," one student responded in apparent agreement.
'We're looking to destroy Israel'
Further on in the open-air chats, Horowitz described "American Friends for Hamas" as "next-level BDS" — the acronym for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement — and "we're looking to wipe Israel off the map … we're looking to destroy Israel."
He added that "we don't want just Gaza, we want to have all of Israel."
Incredibly Horowitz also told at least one student that "to get peace you first gotta destroy some stuff, you know?"
How did students react?
There was no apparent pushback from students on the video Horowitz produced.
"I actually have been learning in this last school year about everything that's going on over there," one student told him. "So, I like the sound of what you're doing, it sounds like the right thing to do."
Another student said, "I'm totally against the Israeli genocide."
The video captured a number of students pledging to "American Friends for Hamas" in relatively small dollar amounts — all for the cause of killing off Israel. Horowitz wrote in a Fox News op-ed that it took him only about an hour to raise "hundreds of dollars for Hamas."
