Does Wearing a Mask Mean You Are Smarter Than Those Who Don’t?

As face masks become a societal norm, many people are speaking out against those who are choosing not to wear them, and some critics say that wearing a mask may determine how smart you are.

John Lundin, a self-described environmental activist and author, recently tweeted, “A mask is not a political statement. It’s an IQ test.” His tweet was met with many comments of support.

A recent Gallup/Knight Foundation poll that asked, “In the past 7 days, how often did you wear a mask or cloth face covering outside your home?” showed that 30% of high school graduates, 41% of college graduates and 46% of postgraduates always wear masks.

Governor Lee just extended Tennessee’s state of ‘emergency’ to AUGUST 29th...just wiped out the ENTIRE summer. Interesting to note that BOTH Dem and Republican Governors are jumping to obey their master’s orders.

My opinion of masks is that if you want to or feel the need to wear one, go ahead...You are free to do what you feel is best for you...

If you don’t want to wear one, don’t...You are free to do what you feel is best for you...

There is no use or reason to put someone down because they either wear one or don’t wear one..It is an individual choice...

(Myself, I wear one if I’m inside a building and it’s got a lot of people...Outside, I take it off...)

Perhaps they will become a societal norm for some. Me, not so much.

Wearing my mask so that people will see me with it on means I’m giving back to the community...Oh boy, is this great! /s

It’s the same principle as used on dogs with the Halti head collars.

The mere presence of the strap across their muzzle makes them complacent, like a mother dog mouthing her misbehaving pup.

Its the new replacement of the old Ben Franklin style glasses that libs wear to present themselves as intellectual. Look at Joe (the traitor) Scarborough. I doubt his are even prescription.

If they're so smart, they need to be held to it forever because there's always someone who needs to be protected from airborne viruses. How dare they ever take the mask off?

For the remaining decades of their lives, may they always hear, "where's your mask Caren? It's for the children, Caren."

Want to read some twisted Newspeak?

Politifact - Says a warning label on a box of disposable masks shows that they are ineffective at protecting against the spread of COVID-19.

Our ruling

A photograph of a box of disposable masks shows a warning label that says the masks "will not provide any protections against COVID-19."
Such disclaimers don’t mean that the masks are ineffective at slowing the spread of the disease, but that they don’t protect the wearer as well as medical respirators such as the N95 recommended for use by health care professionals. Disposable and homemade cloth masks are recommended for people to wear because it protects others around them in case they have the virus and may not be showing any symptoms.
The users sharing this image are making a false interpretation of the type of protection standard face masks provide. We rate it False.

It seems to me that...sumbody dun gon' an lost dey damn mind!

I only wear a mask in medical facilities. I am wearing the same paper mask given me free at a hospital back in May. I know we are healthy as hubby is having surgery in a few days and has been tested twice - both negative. If he isn’t sick neither am I.

Most local stores have removed or greatly relaxed the mask edicts.

Yet most are still walking around hypoxic-ally happy.

I feel like I’m awake in some madman’s fever dream.

On Face the Nation the sub host John the girlie man was almost in tears saying people must wear masks. His whole show he was crying about it.

Went into my local gun store Friday, no masks required.

Actually it means those w wear a mask don’t want to listen to the science. The science says wearing a mask for those who are not sick is not safe.

"I think we all know people educated beyond their intelligence."

An advanced degree in Latino Political Gender Studies, $200,000 in student debt, and getting $200 week unemployment because you were working part-time at Starbucks is NOT evidence of intellect.

Oh, and burning neighborhoods for BLM...

It does not, but your exhaled virus cells do not travel as far if you cough or sneeze inside a mask. Without a mask your sneeze can spread virus 15 feet away as airborne. With mask on, may be 2 to 3 feet.

So how does that compare with coughing or sneezing into your elbow?

The bitch asked me what medical condition I had. I said it’s none of your fu##ing business Karen did you ever hear of the Hippa laws.


Say “I got time, ma’am, let’s sit and discuss my medical conditions and your last gynecological exam together at that table.”

I can’t get my glasses to stop fogging up when I put on a mask.
