Mask mandates aren’t about public health, they’re about power and control and gaining the obedience of the population.

“You’ll own nothing - except a mask - and like it.”

“Mask mandates aren’t about public health, they’re about power and control and gaining the obedience of the population.”

Pure and simple fact.

How would one get people to comply with the need to wear a mask? Remember, this is a very foreign procedure that is uncomfortable and creates the sensation of being suffocated under a pillow. There are some who have psychological effects from the extra stress resulting from this out-of-ordinary routine. A mask mask mandate must be understood by those making them as the very inverse of living in a free society. Even though masks perform a proven function at controlling disease, those making mask requirements still must be sensitive to peoples' sensibilities. No sadistic motivations needed here.

All these psychological problems might be addressed by those who must wear masks as a medical practice. How they endure such a requirement may give answers. We don't expect such mask requirements will cause our medical people to go off the deep end and start hurting their patients. Do we? How do they keep from losing it and what can we learn from them?
