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.
“Isolating after a positive coronavirus test? The CDC says you can still vote in person.”

I am OK with wearing masks as much as I hate it. However, when people start telling me I can’t go to Florida is where I draw the line.
>>Dr. Anthony Fauci said when the coronavirus “is not a threat at all.”
H1N1 still exists. It’s just called “flu” now and not tracked. It’s also in “the” flu shot (which not everyone take nor do flu shots stop people from getting “the” flu).
OI can barely breathe with one, two is just not happening
Government bureaucratic creep came first. Now COVID creep. They are boiling the frog. End this nonsense now. This garbage has NOTHING to do with COVID.
The ironic thing is that they require a mask taken from a shelf which most have disclaimers on the side of the box and states, “will not prevent the transmission of the covid-19 virus”
And most who mandate these requirements upon us peasants, violate their own decrees themselves.
Joe Biden ridiculed Donald Trump because he wouldn’t wear the mask and didn’t want to be photographed in it. Since becoming dictator, Joe Biden has rejected the masks saying that he’s special.
He clearly never wore one daily from the way he still fidgets in one 11 months into this.
The government has not demanded anything of the sort.
The double mask report is not a clinical study, it's more particle science, and the fact that it was released now indicates to me that the CDC internally is in a state of near-civil war.
Next up: Seal the two masks to your face with adhesive tape all around the perimeter. That way no blow-by would escape anywhere around the edges of the mask. All of your poisonous exhalation fumes would be forced through the mask.
It’s a simple step to save your neighbor’s or family member’s life.
So my glasses will fog up TWICE as much.
Now the CDC is just being stupid. (well...MORE stupid)
Soon we will look back fondly on this time when are biggest trouble was wearing two masks
Masked robots are emblematic of the post-modern U.S.
Why are they having such a back up for funerals?
They are keeping bodies refrigerated for months.
There are not more dead than past years and 2020 was less deaths than 2019.
I would like to know if it’s political games or it somehow brings more money to the funeral homes (having a back up of bodies).
People have lost a loved one that they couldn’t be with in the hospital and now they can’t have a burial?
Pathetic.
I am not going to wear two. The forces of fascism refuse to let go of the power that they acquired since March 2020.
If one is good and two is better, then three must be best. Insanity prevails over common sense and reason.
It is simple physics. The mask is designed with a thickness to achieve the ideal flow of air through the mask so that it can achieve maximum filtration assuming it is worn correctly with a good seal.
It “double masking” was effective would not the designer and manufacturer of the mask simply make them thicker?
This is insane.
Not ganna do it. Ahah. Nope.
