Jared Polis, the Democratic governor of Colorado, thinks those of us who oppose scientifically dubious, constitutionally suspect, and dangerously overbroad face mask mandates are "selfish bastards."
I think Polis is a pandering pandemic control freak endangering public health, safety, and sanity.
There. Now that the name-calling is out of the way, let's talk facts.
Contracting COVID can be fatal or debilitating for the elderly, immune-compromised, and physically challenged. But there is no catastrophic public health emergency justifying sweeping government orders and ordinances that would force healthy citizens to wear masks in an increasingly oppressive climate of manufactured fear — completely untethered from pragmatic realities and risk assessments.
According to the federal government's own COVID-19 data, 120,675 deaths in America have been tied to the virus. Tracked weekly by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, fatalities peaked on April 18, 2020, with 16,897 succumbing to the disease. (Keep in mind that many medical whistleblowers have reported that these statistics are inflated by including "COVID"-related deaths uncorroborated by lab results and also by including patients who died with COVID infections, but not necessarily from the virus itself.) In the 12 weeks since April 18, as states have reopened and protests (or riots) of all kinds have brought tens of thousands of people in close contact, deaths have fallen precipitously.
For the week of July 11, 2020, guess how many deaths were attributed to the virus? 181.
The total number of deaths for school-age children between February and July 2020 are 9 (under 1 year of age); 7 (ages 1-4); 14 (age 5-14); and 149 (ages 15-24).
All deaths are tragic, of course. But we haven't banned cars, bikes, swimming pools, aspirin, plastic bags, or matches to prevent the tens of thousands of school-age deaths that occur each year due to unintentional accidents

Expect big increases in sinus infections and the “Crud” from wearing face mask.
And conjunctivitis (pink eye), acne, hypoxia, syncopy, altered level of consciousness...
The left knows this.

I reject wearing the slave muzzle...

It is a Review of several scientific studies.
As always, she says it well. Great girl.

Can you post it, here?
Is it it’s own thread?
all the more reason to refuse the masks
I've also seen dangerous levels of sycophancy and lowered level of conscientiousness.

The problem is people who think they need need scientific studies. It’s obvious, except for people with an emotional need to feel safe and virtuous. The common face masks force wearers to breathe air in and out of the sides of the mask, and some of the inhaled air will be stale. Only a military style gas mask, or a spacesuit-style outfit, can protect from airborne vituses. And the fabric itself is too coarse to filter viruses.
Agree completely. But that's a red herring. As usual there's not much meat in the article, just this
Meanwhile, a recent journal article in the New England Journal of Medicine acknowledges: "The chance of catching COVID-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is... minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic."
That may be true, but doesn't mean a mask is useless.
Droplets.
Are we all just going to pretend to not notice the cases really started spiking right around the time the petty mask nazi’s started up with their mask mandates?
Masks are a large part of the reason that Vietnam is currently not running infections of Covid. Lack of visas, are also important.
Facemasks were required by EVERYONE for two months.
Everyone.
Now they’re not, but lots of people are still wearing them, even now.
Just to mention...
Michelle Malkin, is a natural born American.
I’d vote for her. Maybe as VP to Pompeo, in 2024.
