Owner of Maskless Florida Grocery Store Says Coronavirus Pandemic Is a Hoax

Despite the dangers of the coronavirus pandemic, no one at a crowded grocery store in Naples was wearing a face mask.

That’s because Alfie Oakes, the owner of Oakes Farms - Seed to Table Market, is not enforcing customers or employees to do so, News 6 partner WPLG reported.

“Customers can wear a full bodysuit, and if you’re afraid of bumping your head, wear a football helmet,” Oakes said.

His posts on Facebook referred to the deadly pandemic as a hoax. It’s a position that cost him a contract with the Collier County School Board.

It is not hurting business otherwise. His supporters continue to shop at his supermarket where business was booming on Thursday. Seed to Table was also trending on Twitter.

“Please do your research,” Oakes said, as he defies all scientific research. “Please do your critical thinking and research.”

Collier County issued a face mask mandate. Oakes challenged it in court but his lawsuit was dismissed. Gov. Ron DeSantis has not issued a face mask mandate.

Since you can get a mask with multiple layers, wearing two masks is just obedience training.

What I have found interesting as a bone marrow transplant patient is I was advised to wear a mask the first year. However, I had debates with my fellow BMT friends across the pond who were told opposite. They said they were told masks don’t help. Now suddenly fast forward to this virus and the same NHS and friends are pushing masks.

Doesnt really matter if there was a spread or not. People will still flock there, and if you get it, you get it. I dont give a sh*t. I’ve had co-workers get it when I’m in close contact with them, and never got it. Tested more than 40 times as we get tested every 2 weeks where I work. NOTHING. And I dont even wear a mask in public.

If you want to wear a Mask to protect yourself, wear one.
Did none of the People of died from the Kung Flu wear Masks?

If you want to Social Distance, Social Distance.
Did none of the people who died from the Kung Flu Social Distance?

The first advice I got when this thing started is wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds with soap using warm / hot water, especially of you touch any exposed surfaces that other people may have touched.

Also keep your unwashed hands away from your Eyes, Nose and Mouth. As an OCD Hand Washer, no problem for me.

I should point IF you get the chinese virus those are the survival rates.

95% of the flu “disappeared” First time in history too.... that is because states and hospitals make a lot more money if you are diagnosed with the chinese virus so they lie about the flu and say it is the chinese virus.

Note that the news media, gov’ts the communist chinese do not want you to called it the chinese or wuhan virus even though every other virus is named for the place it originates.

Also note that the news readers and ‘entertainment people do not wear mask and they are not dying. Not a sniffle.
