CDC’s Walensky admits pro-mask ‘guidance’ is here to stay, regardless of that pesky little thing we like to call ‘data’

What are you, some kind of science denier? You probably think wealth redistribution from the middle and lower classes to the one percent via exorbitant taxes won’t stop the weather from warming or cooling too — idiot.

What these government clowns are peddling isn’t even pseudo-science anymore; there appears to be zero burden to even give the impression they’re adhering to scientific methods or pursuing objectivity.

Enter stage left: Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC.

In a viral video from Twitter a few days back, a Republican congresswoman from Washington state quizzed Walensky on the fact that the CDC remained the “only national or international public health agency that recommends masking two-year-old children.” Watch the exchange below: [at source article]

So what if nearly all viruses are submicroscopic — including, most relevantly, Covid-19 — and it cruises through a mask like a gnat through a chainlink fence? (For reference, a “submicroscopic” virus is about 1/100th the size of a bacterium.) In the words of Hillary Clinton, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” Unconstitutional, amorphous, and ever-expanding agencies chock-full of unelected bureaucrats enacting de facto laws is the “new normal” so you better just get used to it.

It’s not like these people would ever manufacture a crisis to create mass hysteria to usher in tyranny and communism — don’t be a conspiracy theorist.

Walensky admits, masking is here to stay, but how oppressive the “guidance” simply depends on the levels of infection. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they all got caught fudging the numbers before, but they promise they’ll relay accurate information from now on.

Trust the science, except when you don’t want to? Well, OK then.

In other words, we need it to stay in place to instill fear and hysteria so we will use it when appropriate.

I DARE and challenge any virus to get pass my own well stocked, strong Auto Immune System. I WILL NOT live in a bubble. I will eat with unwashed hands like Jesus, and make sure my Auto Immune System is updated everyday.

It’s Leftism.

And Leftism is always a one-way ratchet. It is why there is no compromising with Leftism.

Compromising with Leftism is never reciprocated, and is the Road to Perdition.

“Enter stage left: Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC.”

Fire her. Close the CDC and salt the ground it occupies.

They are worse than worthless.

Now would be a good time for Congress to fix and eliminate the fiction created by the Supreme Court called Qualified Immunity

She needs to go.

It is my understanding she is just a figurehead. If they admit masks don't work it causes problems with court cases at the state and federal level and also makes blue state governors and health officials look incompetent at best.

UNC Hospital is now telling us that wearing a mask is ‘Being Kind’.

Every claim she makes should be preceded or followed by “without evidence”.

FACT: I’m a healthier person for never having followed anything Rochelle Walensky has suggested for the past three years.

A feature not a bug. They want us good and used to asking “how high sir” when they snap their fingers and say “jump”!
