[Baypiggies] Attention: PyCon US 2022 and Call for Proposals!

[Rand Bradley]

I am calling for a boycott of Pycon this year unless these health safety
guidelines are thrown out in full. How are you going to see all the faces
you've missed if masks are required? To my knowledge Utah does not have a
mask mandate in place, so why require it?  Masks are obedience symbols. We
all know they don't work. If Utah or the venue is requiring masks, then
move or cancel the conference. Also, the vaxx requirements are
discriminatory and just plain ugly. This is segregation. Have we learned
nothing from history? By requiring vaxxes for attendance, you're excluding
almost half the US participants.

It's time to stop playing pandemic. Is this the type of world you want to
live in? If not then reject these rules, stop participating. Let the
organizers know that you will not be attending due to the health and safety
guidelines.
