Follow Lockdown Masking Rules to Prevent Cold and Flu, Government Parties Say
Breitbart ^ | 12/05/2022 | PETER CADDLE

Government parties within Germany are now telling the public to follow mask-wearing rules first implemented during COVID in order to slow the spread of cold and flu.

Politicians within the ruling Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) are now telling the German public to follow mask-wearing procedures first put in place during the country’s COVID lockdowns in order to fight cold and flu.

The advice stands in stark contrast to a claim made by the opposition Alternative for Germany party (AfD), which has blamed government lockdowns for causing the current spike in illness the country is reportedly now seeing.

Hey here’s an idea for some of you entrepreneur types.

We have a problem with bird flu killing all the chickens and turkeys.

Come up with a good mask design for the birds and they will sell like hot cakes.

If it works for people it should work for birds.

Mask-wearing rules were wholly ineffective against COVID-19, and they are equally ineffective against the various forms of the flu or any other virus.

Masks did NOTHING to prevent the transmission of COVID-19, and they will not work for much of anything else, except to stop the inhalation of dust particles large enough to be caught in the pores of the mask fabric.

Fresh air and sunshine are effective, so no lock-down, and no artificial face coverings.

Setting the stage for masks when winter riots begin on climate justice because people are freezing to death. The ones in masks will be command and control assets.

Those aren’t masks.

They’re muzzles.

FWIW, this came about as a public health measure because of the Japanese.

In the 60's, 70's, and 80's it was common courtesy to wear a mask if you were out in public with a cold. It was a way to suggest others keep a distance from you. It was never meant to shield anyone from anything.

This good manners practice was studied by western societies because it was spontaneously done by the people. Nobody or no government required it. That people on their own would do this got the twisted authoritarians of the west to go to work on getting mass cultural hysteria responses to things the government wants you to do.

Masks, vaccine jabs of experimental drugs, gender identity pronouns, public school policies, mass acceptance of propaganda, self destructive choices, hating those mandated to be hated, etc....
