It sucks that you get out of it that way—by having all those terrible health issues. I just refuse, due to the fact that masks don’t stop viruses, and they have no true authority to dictate that we wear them. I know it’s just a fear-hysteria-psy-ops control mechanism of the people.
Exactly! It’s a form of what we called it when I was a Psych major - ‘operant conditioning’. In lab rats, they pull a lever and get a reward. In humans, wear a mask and be allowed into places outside of the home. Keep the general populace fearful and compliant. Well, I won’t comply with authoritarian diktats and unelected technocrats. Remember what happened to Mussolini. As Reagan put it, “If we lose freedom here, there’s no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.” I don’t advocate violence as the best means of resolution if another way can be found, but I’m not opposed to establishing a huge penal colony and throwing some of these vermin into it until Hell freezes over.
