This article is comedic gold, and it wasn’t intended to be.
Authored by Emma Green and published by The New Yorker two days back, the headline and teaser of the piece read:
The Case for Wearing Masks Forever: A ragtag coalition of public-health activists believe that America’s pandemic restrictions are too lax—and they say they have the science to prove it.
As someone who absolutely refuses to wear a mask, I had to see this, because as we all know, the science doesn’t prove it. What was meant to be a thought-provoking and intellectual take, was nothing more than a parade of the disjointed and shaky philosophies of the modern leftist… and I couldn’t stop laughing.
Green begins her essay by reflecting on last December, when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention scaled back its unconstitutional overreach. Per Green, “Mindy Thompson Fullilove, a professor of urban policy and health at the New School, was livid.”
Of course, Green notes this: “Fullilove, who is Black, has spent her career studying epidemics” — remember, identity politics plays a key role in the leftist’s worldview. Rather than allowing Fullilove’s academic and professional merits to speak for themselves, Green goes right to skin color.
Green mentions Fullilove’s concern that the government’s handling of the virus was severely inadequate (not enough tyranny), and in an email blast to those in the medical field posed this question: “Can we have a people’s CDC and give people good advice?”

I am guessing that they want this to be mandatory.
And yet, ‘According to Fullilove, “no one’s expertise is valued more than anyone else’s.”’
So, I guess white people don’t actually have a say.

Whole lot of people still think masks are magic. It’s become like Linus’ blue blanket.
Because, obviously, Mindy has no academic or professional merits, and expects to get by on just her skin color.
Hey - it's worked so far!
Here’s the thing: For a “ragtag band” of Leftists, they’d actually understand liberty PERFECTLY for THEMSELVES. If the WRONG PERSON acts as they believe, they should be harrassed, fired, fined, jailed, etc. But THE PEOPLE’S CDC is fully competent and authorized by some divine entity they disbelieve in to rule over others. You expand their concept of autonomy beyond themselves, and they actually sound like the conservatives they hate with a blinding passion.
More left wing idiots trying to tell us how to live.
Mandatory muzzles for the hoi polloi...
Deep State would really get off on that.
Why Deep State’s publik skrewls have dumbed down science.
The scientifically illiterate are easier to rule.
Those leftists admire and worship the chicoms and justin trudeau and would bring their repressive fascism to the USA if they were in power.
Facial recognition technology makes the case for masks (but we’re gonna need better masks).
The difference is that Linus’ blanket actually worked
A question needs to be put before the CDC. IF THE WEARING OF MASKS IS EFFECTIVE, THEN SHOULDN’T THERE BE A DROP IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO CAME DOWN WITH TUBERCULOSIS, HEPATITIS, MEASLES, COMMON COLDS? Obviously if masks WORKED, it wouldn’t be ONLY Covid that they were trapping, but all sorts of diseases... are there any statistics?
There was practically no flu…
They can’t keep the masks because they are itching to use facial recognition tech on everyone.
Try to get me to wear a mask and let’s see how that goes. You hear that FBI snoop?
Maybe, or maybe because PCR testing is horribly inaccurate, all the flu cases in 2019 and 2020 just got rolled in to the Chinavirus stats?
So, I guess white people don’t actually have a say.
Conservatives sure as hell don’t…
