The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) published a new study on face masks Wednesday, touting the benefits of individuals wearing two masks instead of one to prevent transmission of the novel Wuhan coronavirus.
The study, conducted entirely on mannequin models in a controlled environment, not any human subjects, concluded double masking was about 95 percent effective at reducing particle transmission.
Then came the typical culprits taking a single study that promotes their narrative to amplify its findings across the internet. CNN followed suit, along with the Washington Post, the New York Times, and all the rest.
The study, not based on any actual people and not using the highest-quality research methods such as a randomized controlled trial, will ultimately serve to justify those demanding double mask requirements while vilifying those who oppose the idea as cartoon caricatures who don’t believe in science and want people to die. There’s no room to even debate the efficacy of face masks in the first place since big tech shut that down too.
When requirements for facial coverings arrived, I was fine wearing a face mask. I spray my eucalyptus pillow mist in them to keep them fresh, and when the Colorado cold came, I certainly didn’t mind the extra warmth. If it made those around me feel more comfortable, I was happy to oblige.
But when questions began to rise about when we can finally ditch them, even after multiple vaccines have arrived and millions have recovered, it’s become ever more clear our leaders have no intent of us having our lives back.
The issue stretches far beyond a face mask, because it’s not just a mask like we’ve been told time and again on repeat. It’s just a mask, it’s just six feet, it’s just two weeks, it’s just another few weeks, it’s just another month, another season, another holiday, another year, another birthday, another wedding, another graduation, another milestone, another concert, another business, until there’s a vaccine, until everyone’s vaccinated, until there’s another vaccine.
Don’t be selfish, they say, don’t live your life. It’s just two masks.
There is no small portion of the population that now that just wants the government to tell them exactly what to do, the same government that shut down their neighbor’s businesses declaring their lives’ work non-essential. It’s amazing to consider the American public’s apathy towards liberty 250 years after the Boston patriots dumped tea into the harbor over a dumb tax. In fact, I’ve seen people huffing and puffing at 8,000 feet with nobody else nearby being yelled at by other hikers for taking a few minutes to collect themselves without a face covering.
When asked on Fox News this week when Americans could stop wearing face masks, National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Anthony Fauci said when the coronavirus “is not a threat at all.” Meanwhile, scores of public health officials from the same apparatus demanding double face masks are saying the coronavirus is “here to stay,” a pandemic that’s with us for as long as we last, so too now are the masks.
At this rate, we may see people walking around with diapers on their heads. What’s next? Full face respirators with cartridges? SCBA’s?

I Was Fine With Wearing A Mask Until Government Demanded I Wear Two
You vill obey or it’s off to the camp for you!
I would like to see the added income and profits being made by Face Mask Providers and who they are and in what countries do the manufacture them. It might be an interesting exercise to expose this information and who the Major Stockholders are.
If a person wants to wear a mask, then he should wear one.
If he doesn’t want to, then he should not.
There should not be any laws about this.
No one should bitch at people for not wearing masks or for wearing them - it is none of their damn business.
If someone is that afraid of a virus with a 99%+ survival rate, the he should STAY HOME.
Trying to see how far they can push people. It’s a Sacha Baron Cohen prank at this point.
Walk into a store from the cold (then put the mask on) and poof can’t see anything.
CDC can’t “make” anyone do anything but apparently the writer was easily duped into the mask BS anyway.
Why not 3 masks? 4? 5? Just put a plastic bag over your head and tie it. Guarantee you won’t get Covid.
The CDC has proven it is now a thoroughly political entity. No science needed.
You want to wear masks or take experimental vaccines that’s your business. I will not comply.
The government of PA recognizes a man wearing a dress as their secretary of health. They call him “she/her”. These people are all crazy and I won’t do what they say. To do so would mean I was crazy, too.
A fellow Freeper recently proposed that a floating CV19 virus views a mask in the way a mosquito views a chain-link fence.
Well played, IMHO.
lol, THAT'S FUNNY
Wait until it becomes two masks and a hajib, and then two masks, a hajib and a burqa, for both American women and men.
They’re just making you jump through hoops now like a trained animal.
whats astounding is how many Ameicans gleefully go along.
The cult of shared misery.
Most of the obits I’ve read say that there will be no services.
In Ohio here. Mandated masks in July because the numbers were going up. They only went up sent the start of mask wearing. Proves that masks do not work.
