Do these people really need to be working there? They’re idiots. Masks don’t work but keep wearing and maybe wear 2. WTF.

There has to be folks out there that can replace them. But then again, it’s a government agency. A massive one. Folks that live in and around Atlanta may have had the opportunity to drive by the place at some point. Place is YUGE!!!!!!!

Lots of government, civil service types.

Then again, the place kind of gives me the creeps and I hope that whatever is in the basement, never gets out.

.... but they increase dermatologic disease,
pneumonia, and possible adenocarcinoma.

AND ChInA is making money hands over feet selling
the masks (it is the new ‘opium’-payback as well
as biowarfare).

... so the masks will continue.

Masks will continue to sell as long as people are buying them. As more people get vaccinated, mask hysteria compliance will decrease. Pretty soon only medical professionals and dedicated Karens will wear the masks, and eventually most state will drop the mandate.

Very suspicious of the “studies” that demonstrated the value of wearing masks. Modern science unfortunately has been corrupted by grant seeking phonies who publish narrative compliant articles in jounals controlled by not very critical editors and publishers that adhere to the narrative. The Left reveres Lysenko.

I went to the CDC to read the actual report. And this headline is the opposite of what the report says. The CDC does state that masks work—but the statistical evidence shown is very weak. The margins of error show that the positive effect is quite minimal.

I have one mask in the car. I put it on when I must enter a place that requires one and take it off as soon as I am outside.

I once worked in a hospital and every so often had to enter a room that was in ISOLATION. The paper shoe covering, paper gown, paper hat and mask. When I left the room all of that went into a red hazardous material can (to be burned).

If this virus is so deadly, where are all the red hazardous material cans to put the used mask in? They don’t exist. Matter of fact I am seeing a lot of mask just tossed on the ground.

Thus proving conclusively that wearing masks is not about controlling Covid. It is about controlling people.

Now SlowJoe is wearing two masks — a black one, with a white one underneath. What a dork.

Steve Green of Vodkapundit put it well:

"When I come out of a place that demands mask wearing, I rip the mask off my face like a surgeon coming out of an OR who just lost a bad case on the table!'

I agree a lot a these studies are junk. This this study measures the effect of “mask mandates” not actual mask usage. “Mask mandates” may be a poor measure of the rate of mask wearing. Some people may believe in Fauci and wear a mask without the necessity of a “mask mandate.” In other words due to poor design, this study has little value in answering the question about the effectiveness of mask wearing

I have long since concluded the single most important element towards stopping the spread of this has been the unprecedented hand washing and cleansing you see people doing.

That’s it.

Masks don’t do a damned thing. Nothing. They are there as a visible prod towards panic for the sheep. Without the constant mask wearing, they can’t keep a lot of people in a state of fear.

The margins of error show that the positive effect is quite minimal

... and by being both singularly focused on the virus and being severely politically compromised, the CDC (and the NIH in lockstep) neglects to point out the devastating and enormous negative effects of widespread masking -- particularly masking of healthy people who comprise the vast majority of Americans

It's important to maintain a balanced perspective with all that has happened over the past year-plus, perspective which is severely lacking and has, in fact, been highly discouraged. The number of covid cases in America stands at 29 million. A big number, but understand clearly that it represents less than 10% of our population. The percentage of people who have actually gotten sick, much less the percentage of Americans who have been hospitalized or who have died as a direct result of covid infection is of course much, much, much lower. ... Balanced Perspective.

Two examples of the severe damage caused by forced masking include:

-- Widespread forced masking promotes a powerful visual image, more accurately the illusion that America is sick -- that we're all just one cough or one sneeze or one spittle droplet away from certain death! which retards America's economic and, even more importantly, stagnates America's societal recovery and reduces significantly the quality of American life.

-- Dehumanizing people by forcing them to hide their identity with a mask makes even respectable people treat others inhumanely, especially when combined with abject fear. Examples of this abound including doctors and nurses preventing grieving family members from having physical, human contact with a dying loved one; governors and teachers taking away an entire year -- and counting -- of childhood from innocent children who are not significantly affected by the Chinese curse; crushing the lives of American citizens by taking away their businesses that took decades to build, and on and on and on.

The truly horrific damage to Americans and to America caused by forced masking is breathtakingly tragic -- arguably evil -- when one considers that it has been done -- done deliberately -- for a completely useless purpose.

Follow the money. What country benefits from selling more masks and crippling the manufacturing of their biggest competitor?
I bet it didn’t take you long to figure out who is pulling the CDC strings.

Jim Hoft doesn't understand p values and statistical significance. P values less than 0.05 are statistically significant.

Here is the report: Association of State-Issued Mask Mandates and Allowing On-Premises Restaurant Dining with County-Level COVID-19 Case and Death Growth Rates — United States, March 1–December 31, 2020

Properly wearing masks in short specific circumstances helps prevent the spread of disease.

Among other things:
Most people don’t wear their masks properly, nor take them off properly. Mask mandates push people to wear them for too long and towards compromise of what little gain comes from the mask. Even wearing a mask, there are many ways to negate the benefits.

The CDC is not staffed with clinicians. They are run entirely by polidiots.
