The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the quiet part out loud last week: Masks are here to stay. The government is now normalizing the “new normal” of a masked American society, and not just for Covid-19.
“The evidence is clear: Masks can help reduce your chance of Covid-19 infection by more than 80%,” said Dr. Rochelle Walensky in a new YouTube government promotional video. “Masks also help protect from the flu, coronavirus, or even just the common cold. In combination with other steps like getting your vaccination, hand washing, and keeping physical distance, wearing your mask is an important step you can take to keep us all healthy.”
Her video remarks were in answer to the question often posed: “Why do I need to still need to wear a mask?”
Americans in many communities have been wearing masks for over 18 months, with advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has been unwavering in its support for mask-wearing. That is, after the first few weeks of the pandemic, when even Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Chief Medical Advisor to the President, said that wearing masks was not helpful.
On March 8, 2020, Fauci said, “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.”
His remarks came during an interview on CBS’ 60 Minutes. In a 2020 memo, he wrote, “Masks are really for infected people to prevent them from spreading infection to people who are not infected rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection. The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material. It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you.”
Later, he said the comment required context:
“I don’t regret anything I said then because in the context of the time in which I said it, it was correct. We were told in our task force meetings that we have a serious problem with the lack of PPEs,” he said in an interview with CBS Evening News.
Alaska Chief Medical Officer Anne Zink also stated in 2020 that masks are not helpful in preventing transmission of the virus.
Zink told the Senate Health and Social Services Committee on Feb. 12, 2020 that a person wearing a mask is breathing in a wet, moist environment collecting viruses and bacteria, and it is in general not useful for protection from other persons’ germs.
In 2021, the science has changed. Dr. Walensky says it can reduce your chance of catching Covid by more than 80 percent.
California and Florida are two examples of states taking different approaches on masking. In early October, Covid transmission was flat in California.
Gov. Gavin Newsom bragged on Twitter that “California continues to lead the nation with the lowest COVID case rate and as the only state in the CDC’s ‘moderate transmission’ category.”
The mask-mandated Golden State is now back in the red “high” territory of transmission. California has had a total of 4.96 million cases since the beginning of the pandemic, and 72,671 deaths attributed to Covid.
Meanwhile, Florida, which has Gov. Ron DeSantis taking a no-mask-mandate approach, sees cases dropping. In fact, California’s rate of transmission is now double that of Florida, Texas, and the rest of the Gulf Coast states.
Florida has reported 3.66 million cases of Covid and 60,334 deaths attributed to the virus. While California’s population (39 million) is greater than that of Florida (27 million), the average Floridian trends much older and therefore more vulnerable to the ravages of Covid. California’s population that is over the age of 65 is 14.3 percent, while Florida’ 65+ population is 20.5 percent.
DeSantis told Fox interviewer Laura Ingram last week that the media has suddenly lost interest in Florida’s Covid situation: “I guess Florida is no longer part of the United States. They just pretend like we don’t exist …Now that we’re in a situation we have very low numbers, you don’t hear a peep.”

But the push toward universal masking is now moving into a new realm. Public universities are teaching professionals how to normalize mask wearing by using social pressure, celebrity influencers, authority figures, and others. The Behavior Change for Good Initiative at the Wharton School and the School of Arts and Sciences of the University of Pennsylvania published a flyer with helpful suggestions such as:
- “Emphasize that wearing a mask helps convince others to wear a mask too.
- “Encourage parents to create rituals with their children around mask-wearing.
- “Recommend that people carry extra masks to give to others.”
- “Convey that masks can be fashion items allowing for self-expression.”
- “Trigger disgust and aversion to contagion by reminding people that without masks, they are likely to get up close and personal with undesirable germs.”
- “When targeting certain groups, seek quotes and images highlighting that masks do not conflict with their values or sense of identity. i.e. Some men may feel that wearing a mask undermines their masculinity. Quotes and imagery should align mask-wearing with independence and strength.”
The Wharton School / UPenn flyer has many other tips for professionals to use to change public behavior for good … or for “good”:
If masks work so well then why did so many people get sick and some them die? They, or most of them were wearing masks, right? Or is it that just maskless people got sick and some of those died?
I wore a mask religiously until I got 2 shots. Then I stopped for 4 months. Then Delta showed up and I got sick. Now I don’t since I have been sick plus got the booster. But there was a time…….
Greg, let’s see, the vaccine won’t keep you from getting sick and it does not keep you from transmitting it, but you won’t get so sick that’s why 40% of the people in icu last week had previously been vaccinated,, If you’re in icu your pretty sick generally.
Am I missing something here???? How about you lose 90 lbs eat healthy food take your vitamins and exercise.
For you Greg — Lock yourself in your house and hide and don’t forget to wear that face diaper so you can rebreath your own exhaust. That’s real healthy.
Nope you got it wrong but that doesn’t surprise me. There’s millions of skinny people that got covid. You just looking for a fight which I’m not going to give you one. Have a blessed day.
Greg Forkner, I an neither a Bully or a Hypocrite , my comment was directed to Doug and his attempt to help you understand how illogical your reasoning is. But to answer your question Greg, yes, I believe you have every right to seek the Health Care that you deem proper for you. What I take exception to is those Fascist who want to mandate / force the ineffective and dangerous poison shot upon others.
Doug Glenn, I applaud your efforts in reaching out to Greg Forkner , however I have observed that the use of logic or even blandishment will not convince Greg and millions like him of the truth. A malaise has settled in upon people like Greg, their minds are in a fog, and frozen by fear and yet programed to repel any truth or evidence that isn’t broadcast by Fauci or one of the alphabet agencies.. This is most tragic. God help us.
Are you not only a hypocrite but also a bully? Don’t people have the right to do and think what they wish or does that only apply to you?
That’s some heroic prose Mr Schenker and over the top. And rude. Forkner’s post is a bland recital of his experience and, unlike yours and Doug Glenn’s posts, is not meant to incite.
Key phrase: “I wore a mask religiously”.
This is nothing less than a cult of mask/vax. Big government, pharma, and the medical establishment are their gods and they worship them with fervor. They are evangelistic but despise those who don’t believe.
I’m so glad that you anti-vaxx anti-mask people believe in my body my choice rather than be hypocrites.
I wipe fecal matter off my butt religiously every time after I defecate but it doesn’t mean I belong to a cult.
If mask worked out political leaders would wear them when the cameras weren’t on them, but they don’t.
.
Just released, Public Health Wales reports that 80.3% of hospitalized Covid-19 patients are fully vaccinated.
.
Anecdotal, self arrived information is no way to factually influence the people around you. Stick to the facts Greg, not self serving results. The government is using this negligible/questionable pandemic to ruin our country through tyranny as are many other 1st world country’s governments and they are using people like you to give them popular support.
Okay son here are the facts. I wore the mask every day until I got two shots then 14 days after my second shot I stopped wearing masks. 4 months later I got sick so since you’re asking for the truth, the truth is I didn’t get sick when I was wearing a mask I only got sick after I quit wearing it. Yes I was wearing in N95 3M masks if that has anything to do with it. Now most people have either been sick and survived or have had their shots and as a result the numbers are going down. You can call it what you want that’s fine you have my blessing and my permission. You remind me of a guy complaining about lightning and thunder after the storm has passed. Fly away Little Bird.
Here is a fun fact.
People got sick and died before Covid-19.
Another fun fact, humanity will make it through this.
AAAAND another one, the governments of the world have used more restrictive measures in our current lifetime than any other time and behold, people still get stick. None of it means a damn thing.
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
The truth is also you didn’t get sick when you were uninjected, you only got sick after you got the injection. More injections correlates with increased sickness, hospitalizations, and death around the world.
Not widely advertised because it will dip into the vaccine manufacturers’ billion-dollar profits, the overall death rate in 2021 has increased since the hasty injection rollout (without proper safety data or informed consent), even more deaths than back in 2020 during the redefined “pandemic,” which unexpectedly did not result in unusually high death rates as the lying, pharma-controlled mainstream media would have you believe.
You wore the mask religiously, and did not get sick.
I drank coffee every day since the virus first showed up and did not get sick.
.
Correlation does not mean causation. But, thanks for the anecdote.
Caffeine has many undiagnosed healing powers.
CB, I religiously refrained from wearing a harmful face covering, which diminishes oxygen intake, prevents carbon dioxide removal, and traps pathogens directly against my airways leading to my lungs – and I never got sick. Same is true for my children.
Doesn’t seem like you really support medical freedom when you derogatorily condemn and shame non-compliers with “you anti-vaxx anti-mask people.” Virtue-signaling your religious mask-wearing and multiple injections is a direct assault against your implied “non-virtuous” neighbors, who freely choose not to harm themselves or their children with oxygen-depriving face coverings and experimental messanger-RNA gene-therapy injections, which killed all animals in the abruptly-canceled trials and which is being coercively mandated globally in a “lockstep” protocol with no informed consent. I assume you wore a mask religiously and subjected your body to experimental injections because you trust the supposed “experts” being selectively broadcast 24/7. The same “experts” who personally own patents on these experimental injections and who give full legal immunity to the manufacturers, who suppress early treatment options and public knowledge of severe, adverse reactions and death caused by the experimental injections. Your religious compliance to the all-knowing Elites and self-righteous condemnation of non-compliers contributes to the persecution of your neighbor who is being shunned, banned from commerce and society, having their private property seized, and eventually shipped off to a re-education facility, as is already happening in other countries. Ask yourself if you’re okay with the tyrannical enforcement of the “New Normal” and why.
Why isn’t she (Dr. Walensky) wearing a mask in this interview?
Additionally, i see the congregation of a lot of people at:
– Concerts
– Television
– Sporting Events
– Entertainment Venues
– Politicians
– Guv’ment Politicians // Employees
– The Dog & Pony Show (aka … Ski, Sully & Yung)
The hypocrisy in all of this is laughable, nobody takes it seriously any more.
Anti-science. A .5 µm virus can pass through a 40 µm pore on an N 95 mask it can pass through a 100 µm pore on a cotton mask. If you can smell a fart (or this cdc horsecrap) through a mask, it won’t stop a virus. You can’t ever touch the masks. If you do, you have to throw it away and get a new one. Nobody follows the protocols. But they are worthless even with the protocols. They do so very, very little that mandating them is nonsensical especially in the general population that cannot help but touch them a million times an hour (exaggeration mine).
It is the new yellow star. Yes. I said it. Now doxx me or call me an antisemite or whatever nonsense.
You have it backwards. And the N95 mask can filter out most covid viruses but it will never filter out a fart or any other gas. If it filtered out gas you would suffocate.
You are incorrect again Forkner. The military use scent test when testing their Nuclear Biological Chemical personal protective mask to make sure it is working. If you smell the scent spray, your mask does not work. You should really quit talking about things you know nothing about.
John, you misread my response as usual. The fact that you can smell methane gas while wearing an n95 mask means that it’s not filtering out the gas. If the covid virus smelled like anything, then you wouldn’t be able to smell it because it filters out the virus. I can’t make it any more clearer than that I truly am sorry for your lack of reading comprehension.
Many gasses don’t have an odor. There are usually aromatic particulates with them.
Methane is one of many gasses with no odor.
And masks don’t work for viruses.
I didn’t mis read anything Forkner. You stated, “If it filtered out gas you would suffocate,” which is untrue. An odor molecule can be measured and it is larger than air but smaller than a virus molecule. Gases contain many different sizes of particles and some of those particles are large enough to be smelled and others aren’t. Scent particles, often grouped in esters are usually no larger than .3 microns and a typical eater contains about 20-80 atoms. Compare that to a virus that contains upwards of 1000’s of atoms.
.
My point that you couldn’t derive, is that a mask will continue to work if you can’t smell methane (fart) and breathing will be no problem.
.
I didn’t address your first statement as I agree with smelling orders through a mask doesn’t negate its ability to protect from viruses. It was the suffocating part I disagree with factually.
All of this just stinks.
If you can smell a fart through a mask, it is not keeping you safe from getting viruses.
If you disagree, we’ll find some (actually) deadly airborne virus and you can put your money where your mask is.
The propaganda continues but hopefully the mass psychosis is slowing down? ?
Just another part of the radical leftist extremist agenda to denormalize and dehumanize our society.
These people are sociopaths, and they are very simply evil.
You got scared America. You bought the big con about this being for your “safety”. All it cost was your freedom.
And you’re still not safe, are you?
Ben Franklin famously said (versions vary) a people who sacrifice freedom fro safety deserve neither.
Congratulations for proving him right. You wet the bed, bought the con, and now have neither freedom or safety.
Did it to yourselves.
A lot of people believe Trump conned Americans. Are you one of them?
Evan, Robert here, Mr. Forkner has been posting on Must Read for quite some time. His position regarding Covid and his insistence regarding everyone getting the poison jab is widely known to us and he has many times been less then polite to others who point out the facts vs his personal “experience”. That said I do not believe it “rude” nor over the top when I advised Doug that trying to logically reach out to Greg was a fools errand. I stand by both of my comments in total. The truth be told my heart breaks for people like Greg. Obviously Greg is a good fellow for the most part and he has suffered from following the Fauci Doctrine. If you want to enter into a further discussion with me regarding the facts of the issue at hand I would be most willing to do so. I must tell you Evan, that I respect your opinions despite our differences, , however your grabbing the for the “incite” ring in this case was disingenuous and smacks of a ploy to silence dissent. Looking forward to your rebuttal.
Yeah but I vowed to turn over a new leaf. And then you guys all come out from underneath the rock wanting to spank somebody. I refuse to go back to that, so stupid to your levels. I wasn’t the one that Drew the first blood since we’re talking about history here. I’m just the one that said enough is enough, I’m going to start responding in a more adult way. If you want to continue on with that adolescent grade school mudslinging be my guest. Just count me out.
Here’s what you wrote: “A malaise has settled in upon people like Greg, their minds are in a fog, and frozen by fear and yet programed to repel any truth or evidence that isn’t broadcast by Fauci or one of the alphabet agencies.. ” There’s four insults tucked into your tidy statement, none are necessary to discourse and none are factually true. I interpret your post to incite anger in people like me, not incite violence mind you.
Some are factually true.
Nanny, nanny, boo, boo!
It’s ok. It’s what they do.
Evan, my statements above were not meant to be insulting, they merely are a learned and factual observation based on truth. I think that if you were to study the “Jab” issue just a bit beyond the party line you would be hard pressed to dispute my statement.
That said what is disturbing is how you and others attempt to silence dissent when the facts are not on your side of the argument. Your use of “Shaming” are pretty thin and obvious.
All I have to say to Fauci, CDC and FDA is you all political minded and to be nice “ STUFF IT.”
It’s a matter of submission to their Cult not real science. Real science says no mask, no jab; but without either of those there is no submission to the Global Cult of Death and Fear.
Pure evil. Out of love for fellow Americans, I hope republicans defend people in Blue cities against this horror
There is no science that justifies the wearing of mask in its current mandate.
.
Cloth mask are negligible at best and yet allowable. Moisture affects efficacy.
.
Surgeons mask aren’t much better and yet allowable. As per CDC and FDA, should be replaced after each patient encounter. Moisture affects efficacy.
.
N95 is 95% effective against most viral and bacterial contagions. Requires it to be fitted to achieve this effectiveness. Also should be replaced after each patient encounter according to CDC and FDA. Moisture affects efficacy. Micron size protection of mask is .1 to .3 microns. Corona virus size is between .05 and .2 microns. Essentially trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence.
.
Fully contained respirators are the only 100% efficacy and it is impossible to live 100% of your life in one.
.
No study has been conducted to prove the efficacy of each mask since the beginning of this pandemic. Probably because they already know how low the efficacy is. The entire reason behind the mask is to signify compliance and condition the population for acts of government mandating in incremental steps as to not completely shock them into slavery.
Resist! They can only do what we let them do. They have no real teeth!
Alaska is not Anchorage or the blue L48. If Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau really want to be a leftist enclaves as demonstrated by electing lefties and not recalling them, then let them fester in their masks and vax side effects. The rest of us don’t have to and we should not.
However, for those of you that love masks and vaccinations, no problem. I won’t go Karen on you, but I will snicker behind your back because you are such a sheep.
Do what you want. Nobody cares.
Wrong, Greg! The medical fascists and pro-mandate authoritarians very MUCH care what we do.
Yeah why do you think that is? I refuse to think that it’s all about power, like we’re some dog in a circus ring and they’re seeing if they can get us to crawl or jump over something. And I know a lot of people died with covid not from covid because the covid weakened their system enough that some other stuff took over and actually put the nail in the coffin but millions of people have died from the covid. If I stepped on a nail and got the blood poisoning, did I die from blood poisoning or sepsis or did I die from heart failure because it stopped beating?
The US Constitution does not allow this. It doesn’t allow a foreign corporation (the CDC hoodwinking Americans as a “domestic” agency which it is not) to use ungranted to it authority in lieu of the sovereignty of the people. This is being attempted because the left nazies know the people have been denied access to knowledge of the limitations imposed by the US Constitution on such foreign agencies. The republic still stands and so does the US 1776 Constitution. The CDC and OSHA will be out of money and fake authority soon. I’ll bet Rochelle hasn’t endured one hour of collegiate of study of the US Constitution. A study of her phone records and electronic communications will show I believe a preponderance of foreign governments telling her and her “ilk” what Americans are going to be doing next. That is NOT right in our guaranteed Republic. IT IS NOT Russia or China yet!!!! We are not allowed to contract our freedom and land and ports away because that would be an unconscionable, illegal contract unenforceable in any state or territory. We declare wars to keep EXACTLY this from happening ARREST THAT WOMAN! You are holding the bag ma’am.
Never going to be normal for me. I’ll take some precautions if it’s warranted (like when I am at work in a healthcare facility) but I’m not wearing a mask as a normal part of life.
Throughout human history, criminals and masks have gone hand and hand. That is especially true in an age of complete camera coverage. So, trust me, as soon as “right wing” or “conservative” criminals start enjoying masks to escape their “justice” system, the cabal will start shooting masked men on sight.
Wearing a mask does not convince others to wear a mask.
How is it a parent can establish a mask wearing ritual when parents can’t even establish a reading ritual to their children? Or change their family’s diet plan? Or Parenting strategies from unhealthy to healthier strategies?
Taking a mask from another person is just Disgusting! You don’t know where that thing has been!
There is no self expression in everyone around you wearing a uniform.
I don’t listen to propaganda such as posters, images, commercials, celebrities, public speakers, rich people, or elected officials telling me what I ought to believe about myself or what promotes my identity.
Due to my incessant talking to my neighbor next to me I got a mouthful full of contagient germs when the fibers within my shedding mask got sucked back into my mouth into my throat causing me to cough. That was wearing my mask at the clinic.
The list is something as stupid as 18-21 year old in college would come up with.
I always love how hypocrites cast the first stone.
How is she a hypocrite?
Not sure I get that one.
She is our resident bible thumper who casts the first stone.
Thanks. I didn’t see it that way, but I guess that’s okay. Perhaps you would count me as a Bible thumper too? Not sure.
Anywho, I see the government lying to us and forcing us to do things or threatening our livelihoods (and my children’s, BTW), as having cast the first rock here.
I don’t know if you have intuited that I’m mad as hell about all of this fascism.
I see evidence to the opposite that the ‘vaccines’ are safe or effective. I see evidence that masks do statistically nothing against small viruses. I see evidence that lockdowns do nothing helpful and they wreck economies and increase suicide rates especially among the young.
If you want to do these things to yourselves, I would strongly advise against it, but have at it. Knock yourself out. But don’t force me and mine to and please don’t support such fascist measures.
That’s fine people can say and think what they want. I was just making a general statement about the thumper part because no matter what the topic, she always spends it in a different direction and in the end chastises people for being too fat, to illiterate and in most cases too human.
That is an apt description of me, but I’m not sure that I like it. ?
There are people when they look around their house after seeing that last dumb statement: ““Trigger disgust and aversion to contagion by reminding people that without masks, they are likely to get up close and personal with undesirable germs.” Then they see their house! They will say I get close and personal with germs everyday just being inside my house!
Coming up with that list must be rich kids coming from the suburban richer neighborhoods where their parents’ houses were somewhat sterilized.
“The evidence is clear: Masks can help reduce your chance of Covid-19 infection by more than 80%,” said Dr. Rochelle Walensky in a new YouTube government promotional video.
Please share the peer reviewed study supporting the 80% statement Dr. Walensky…….. I’ll wait.
This comment hits the nail on the head: I have yet to see a definitive study that supports mask wearing. The best the CDC does is to list many studies, avoid discussing them in any detail and opine that mask wearing is effective. Their guidance is political, not scientific and they know it. There is nothing in the US Constitution or statutes that requires the wearing of masks. In many cases, the regulations that require masks have not been validly adopted as permanent, with a formal record supporting those regulations. Mask requirements must be tested in court where there might be some effort to separate fact from opinion. At some point I will stop patronizing businesses that require masks. The same is true for participation in organizations. Time to resist and reject.
Tell you what Pard , I always wear a mask when I am at work, scares the hell out of them damn Bank Tellers and keeps me from getting a Positive Test Result from a possible witness.
This whole “pandemic” has turned out to be a complete sham to remove the rights of the individual in favor of totalitarian control.
Since it’s worldwide, you must be talking about it planet-wide takeover. Great, it’s about time the federation pulled up its bootstraps.
Have you not kept up with the news? The world has largely gone insane over this. Some of the very worst is Canada and Australia. If the Aussies had any sense and cojones, they would be in the middle of a civil war right now.
I don’t watch much news anymore. What does peak my interest is China preparing to take us out with their ultrasonic super duper anti-ship missiles. Canada was always chastised for closing their borders early on. Doing so probably saved lives. I understand Australia is doing some pretty weird distancing. Both countries are among the lowest of total deaths from the virus so give them credit for their deployment, however crude it may seem to Monday morning quarterbacks after the fact.
I’ll go ahead and do it before the fact. Concentration camps are not worth it. Fascism is not worth it. The dangerous clot shot is not worth it. The seizures of bank accounts and property to pay fascist fines for not complying with measures that don’t work are not worth it. Turning Australia into North Korea Lite for a virus that likely won’t kill you or hurt you is not worth it.
And all they are doing is kicking the can down the road. Spike early or spike later. It is going to happen. They will just destroy their economy and destroy their national ethos for nothing. The only way to get out of this is to protect the most vulnerable people in a reasonable manner and get to herd immunity with natural immunity. Mark my words. I am quarterbacking before the game. Go ahead and quote me on this in two years. These funny talking wimps never should’ve given up their guns. They gave up their cojones with them.
Matthew: You hit it dead center.
“Spike early or spike later. It is going to happen.”
Canada and Australia got their spikes coming, sooner or later.
Maybe you have not been paying attention, but it is planetwide.
.
There are several organizations that would be thrilled to establish a single world government (they of course assume they will be the ones running it…). Knocking down western civilizations is a step toward that goal. What countries, aside from those considered Western, have as many individual rights? Where else except for the US, UK, Europe, Australia and NZ does the individual have more rights? Hint, there are none.
.
Would China like to be the next world economic super power? Yep. Why wouldn’t they? Would a certain religion like to see themselves in charge? Yes, they would.
.
This does not have to be a vast global conspiracy. It can simply be organizations taking advantage of an opportunity. The ones pushing for power will end up fighting the ones looing to institute a theocracy, and they will all be fighting the ones pushing for economic superiority.
.
There is nothing about Robert’s comment that is not planetwide.
Yes but what you’re saying is nothing new. The Romans tried it, so did the Greeks. So did the Huns and the Germans and the Spanish and the English. Where they all failed was they pretty much tried to do it by themselves. Yes the Nazis allied with Italy and secretly Spain and Switzerland but they didn’t bring much to the table. The way to do it is to influence governments globally so that a common goal and mindset is achieved. That was supposed to be the goal of the UN but mostly it is a clone of global politics. What we need is a federation like in Star Trek where everyone works towards a common goal, the betterment of human beings. Until everyone stops fighting over the price of coffee, and imaginary lines on a map, we are at risk of annihilation. War comes first, then peace.
Rodenbery’s utopia?
Another believer in utopian paradise, where there is no need for money and food just materializes at you beck and call from a magical mystery dimension in the universe that we haven’t discovered yet which contains endless supplies of what ever it is you want or need.
.
However the track we are on is not of Star Trek Forkner, but of Fahrenheit 451 or maybe Equilibrium. Or maybe even Atlas Shrugged. Your utopia is impossible and the reason is sin.
.
You say world domination has been around since the beginning of rule and you are correct. However, never in history has man had the power to combine as many efforts on one spectrum as globally as we have now. Thanks to technology, everyone is tied to manipulation and coercion efforts of their governments. And all governments can be manipulated and coerced by an even more powerful person/group leveraging power, money, newly created rules based on pseudoscience and a philosophical shaming in the name of betterment for humanity and global survival. It’s all inclusive, forever repeating and never ending thanks to social media, news and politicians that have forced a divisional message continuously through all spectrums of society. None of this was even fractionally possible when Genghis Kahn ran his world dominance agenda. And for you to minimize the efforts and achievements that have been accomplished by whatever unknown entity that is coordinating such efforts today is both foolish and naive. The ability to use a non pandemic event and sell it to people as a pandemic is the largest global con job ever committed and you continue to be a willing victim of it because you have allowed your age and overall fitness to make you weak and vulnerable to an intentionally deployed, low yield bio weapon. And for some reason you and many others won’t entertain the idea that this was intentional. Logical, deductive reasoning as well a firm belief of working from a stance of worse case scenario seems only responsible and prudent in ones struggles to survive. I suppose this is innate amongst some, learned by others and completely void in many, in which, sheep quickly becomes the appropriate label.
Where, btw, are the Goths and Visigoths? Gone tamale?
CBM, do not count Australia on that list anymore.
So, I guess mask wearing is just about as effective as the “vaccine” at preventing infection. Which is to say, it isn’t. These people pushing this are crazy, and I’m not going to take advice from lunatics, no matter how hard they try to push it with their supposed mind bending tactics. I’m not all that good at being pushed around.
Where did Walensky get that 80% mask efficacy statistic? Did she just make it up? Where is the data to back up that assertion?
I think she was using best case scenario of everyone using n95 masks, practicing distancing, sanitizing, basically doing everything that a lot of people have decided they’re not going to do because they don’t want to live that way.
Best case scenarios I have seen from studies where the internals have any validity is 12% efficacy with n95’s and onerous medical training and protocols.
It won’t ever happen in public.
Even in areas where the average public does their best and masking rate is high, there is no statistical difference in using masks for virus. None. They don’t work. You cannot engineer a solution for humans doing the best case scenario. You have to engineer the solution with what humans will actually do.
Rochelle is a deep state crank.
Sure we could put kids into bubbles so they do not come into contact with germs or virus’s, but their immune system would be so weak it would be dangerous to ever come out. Is covid like mumps, better to get it as a child than as an adult?
Long-term it might be better to live through covid than die with covid. I don’t know if Mom’s leaves you with any lasting damage, but what people don’t realize and a lot of experts are still finding out, is that some cases of covid even though people don’t die, it screws them up internally. It turns their brain to mush, affects the heart and other organs. Getting covid didn’t kill my doctors father who is also a doctor but it did give him AFib. And you’ll never see those numbers when people post 99 percent survival rate. There’s no way to know those numbers but I suppose most things are better than death.
All viruses do damage. Anecdotal evidence aside, how often is there serious damage? I doubt that there will be any usable data on this for years to come. The data is crap on almost every side all the time with this politicized scamdemic.
You are full of anecdotal BS. Where’s your factual references? I have seen nothing to support your statement.

And I suppose that having no belief in eternal life would cause one to cling to this one so much that one would give up freedom and their sole for lust and materialism of this life.
Resist.

When confronted replying a Man who’s freedom is being stolen by tyrants.
This is classic Mass Hysteria.
It is clear most people are Sheeple – this is why totalitarianism and fascism have worked – most people will do what they are told to by the State – without questioning authority – then virtue signal how they are superior to you because they blindly followed orders.

The biggest change I see in anchorage this last 18 months is that now wherever I go. I see mask on the sidewalk…. Mask in the gutters …Mask in the parking lot.
Do you know what hasn’t changed.
I don’t see the plastic bags that I didn’t see three years ago also.

She pushed for this ridiculousness, she and her neighbors should enjoy the perks of it.
Masks turn individuals into a faceless group. A simple smile can go a long way to promote unity and respect towards others, take that away, the easier it is to divide. Masks are transformational and a tool to re-engineer perceived priorities, while pretending to give the wearers the superiority of signaling care and virtue towards others.
It is also interesting to observe the “important” people, like politicians and celebrities forgo the masks amongst themselves, as they understand that their livelihood and influence depends on getting recognized. If this were truly about a dangerous virus and masks were actually an effective tool, these people could not be pried out of their masks.
