“I don’t wear a mask. Instead, I keep a rabbit’s foot in my pocket.”

I’m quite fond of the immune system The Good Lord gave me.

So we should all buy “Toby” brand masks and not “Kunta Kinte” brand? Got it.

"Many Americans say it's 'their right' not to wear a mask. Experts say it's a 'threat' to the country."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Many Americans say it's their “right” to murder unborn children too.

But the fact is that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect either the politically correct right to murder unborn children, or the likewise phony right to not wear a mask under honest medical authority, although these bogus "constitutional" rights are known to be effective when you can find an activist judge.

On the other hand, patriots need to challenge “expert” opinion about the effectiveness of inexpensive, non-industrial masks imo.

That being noted, how come “Orange Man Bad, follow the money," BIG PHARMA “experts” seem to never mention vitamins D3, C and zinc supplements in conjunction with COVID-19 and flu?

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.

Insights welcome.

I guess.

Whatever floats your boat. I would just make sure it’s not a Viking funeral.

The other thought—they should be walking....a little bit more every day.

It is against my religion to wear a mask if it’s not necessary. My face iwas given to me by God and facial expressions are fundamental to human social interactions and to hide it is a sin.

There actually was value to that, depending on where the bomb went off. The shock wave might shatter glass that would kill you but leave the classroom otherwise pretty much intact. Did you know that there were people who survived in Japan that were directly below ground zero?

“It’s my right to stay away from you.”

And it’s my right not to care one way or the other. You do what you need to do.

Experts also said to hide under your desk to protect against a nuclear bomb

We were stationed at a SAC base in the late fifties. I remember having to get under our desks for practice. About the third week I had enough of getting on the dirty floor. I stayed in my desk. Teacher had a come apart. I asked her “Do you really think 3/4 of an inch of wood is really going to make a difference if a nuke goes off?”. Daddy told me to quit scaring the civilians, they believed the government.

“People who claim it’s their right to avoid wearing a mask are misunderstanding rights,” Dr. Amesh A. Adalja tells Yahoo


Sure, because we need people whose ancestors were worshiping Kali and strangling travelers on the road a couple hundred years ago to explain to us in the West about the Enlightenment and the theory of rights.

Well if masks are so effective, then why are kids still getting sick with strep?

Well, the experts you choose to quote, yes. However, any expert trusted by a lib media outlet is highly suspect of being a drooling moron, so....no.

Mask usage is required by law in 34 states and the District of Columbia, according to AARP.

I'm not so sure of that. I think in a lot of states, it's all EO's (and I know dictaster-admiring libs wish/believe executive dictastes to be laws), so not really. It's more like we're all humoring our state execs.

Missing a big category - not wearing a mask because they are worthless and do nothing to stop the spread of disease

No matter what the 'experts' say... no matter what names they call me... no matter what they do... my answer is:

NO.

Dr. Amesh A. Adalja tells Yahoo Life. “You don’t have a right to infect other people.”

Ispo facto: “Then I presume masks will become mandatory from now on?”

Are burhka’s far behind?

I said this very thing to my risk-averse club officers, who were cancelling our club’s big yearly event. They said of our governess’s edicts: “They have the force of law.” Bull, but they are going along, whole hog. While, in fact, in our state, we have explicit separation of powers written into our Constitution. She— and they— ignored that.
