It’s all about COMPLIANCE….
...not “science”:

Masks are:

1) a sign of submission, subversion and subjugation
2) mandated in order to dehumanize
3) virtue signaling devices
4) meant to provide constant reinforcement of fear
5) used to destroy community, friends and family normal communication
6) implemented to create isolation, confusion, anxiety, destroy human connectivity, trust and interactions
7) mandated to exacerbate illness
8) intended to aid in the abandonment of the belief and reliance on our immune systems
9) intended to refute integrous science
10) signal to positions of power that you are willing to give up all of your rights and freedoms based on anything they say, even if it is a BIG FAT LIE!

No need to holler. Quiety do not wear one, and quietly tell Karen to stuff it.

[Paladin2]

Because the ‘Rats, CDC, NIH, LSM, BigTech and GOPee refuse to listen.

If you tweet that and then you get sick and die you will never hear the end of it.

Why masks? Because if adults walked around with a pacifier they’d look ridiculous.

This is the science ——

Does size matter? The influenza virus is 80-120 nanometers. COVID is similar in size, 50-140 nm. If, as we are incessantly told, masks work to save lives from COVID, then they should work similarly for influenza. Yet COVID cases are high and influenza cases are near zero. Why is that?

The pore size in standard surgical masks is 300 nm to 10,000 nm, far larger than either virus, meaning masks cannot explain the discrepancy. Masks don’t stop either virus, which is why we never masked up during past flu pandemics. Unless the masks contain a pore bouncer, letting in only COVID but telling influenza to get lost.

I don’t own a mask. I like to breathe. I’m weird like that.

[toddausauras]

To be honest a lot of normals don’t seem to mind wearing them at all. That’s the problem. I’ve been railing against them from the start and I actually don’t get a whole lot of enthusiastic agreement. Sheep.

[olivia3boys]

We are. Parents in CA are. But this year the teachers unions and school boards and county Heath directors are no longer the most powerful forces in the schools on the mask issue. Now it’s the insurance companies. They are threatening public and private schools in CA that if they don’t enforce the CA k-12 mask mandate they will cancel their insurance.

You may not have been but the rest of us have been.

I have posted my total dissatisfaction about masks in my posts and never get any FReeper reaction to my criticism.

It is criminal the way masks are put out like hot cakes without any improvements. We have gone a long time with this pandemic and you would expect by now there were improvements.

The way my glasses fog up is a safety hazard. It tells me this is a common malfunction of the typical surgical mask. Meanwhile, from the bridge of my nose to the top of my head becomes a nesting place for covid droplets. No one has said, don’t scratch you head and hand someone money to make a payment. No one has said how to safely adjust your mask when it slips. Do the mask cartons contain detailed instruction on how to best use their mask? No. I am thinking they know there is no way to wear their product to make sure it is giving optimum performance.

So, what is any mask manufacturer doing to improve the design of their product? If someone has seen any mask improvements, I would be glad to see their answers.

Otherwise, crickets . . .,

[South Dakota]

We should be screaming about the ineffective masks and the government’s bull$hit campaign against invermictin and hcq

[HotHunt]

I have not worn a mask since this pandemic started. I don't even own one.

If a store or a business required one, I just didn't use them. Others didn't enforce the mask requirements. Those are the ones I used.

Masks are worthless to stop this virus. But uneducated partisan, laymen politicians decided they would.

It was all about control, not health.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Like putting up a chain link fence around your yard to keep mosquitoes out.

Face diapers are almost totally useless to stop a virus, either incoming or outgoing. Totally virtue signaling. When I see someone with a mask on I assume they are a rat. Or a sheep, as the case may be.

[bigbob]

You should get out of the deer stand more

[Brian Griffin]

Masks have a place to offer some protection in short-term situations or those involving complete strangers.

Policemen don’t always stop crooks.

I’m in Florida and starting to hear people cough. I’ll store my fabric masks and use medical-style masks.

[PLMerite]

The “issue” is never the Issue. The Issue is The Revolution.

It ain’t about the masks.

[clearcarbon]

They are cloth and paper placebos.
