Jared Polis, the Democratic governor of Colorado, thinks those of us who oppose scientifically dubious, constitutionally suspect, and dangerously overbroad face mask mandates are "selfish bastards."
I think Polis is a pandering pandemic control freak endangering public health, safety, and sanity.
There. Now that the name-calling is out of the way, let's talk facts.
Contracting COVID can be fatal or debilitating for the elderly, immune-compromised, and physically challenged. But there is no catastrophic public health emergency justifying sweeping government orders and ordinances that would force healthy citizens to wear masks in an increasingly oppressive climate of manufactured fear — completely untethered from pragmatic realities and risk assessments.
According to the federal government's own COVID-19 data, 120,675 deaths in America have been tied to the virus. Tracked weekly by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, fatalities peaked on April 18, 2020, with 16,897 succumbing to the disease. (Keep in mind that many medical whistleblowers have reported that these statistics are inflated by including "COVID"-related deaths uncorroborated by lab results and also by including patients who died with COVID infections, but not necessarily from the virus itself.) In the 12 weeks since April 18, as states have reopened and protests (or riots) of all kinds have brought tens of thousands of people in close contact, deaths have fallen precipitously.
For the week of July 11, 2020, guess how many deaths were attributed to the virus? 181.
The total number of deaths for school-age children between February and July 2020 are 9 (under 1 year of age); 7 (ages 1-4); 14 (age 5-14); and 149 (ages 15-24).
All deaths are tragic, of course. But we haven't banned cars, bikes, swimming pools, aspirin, plastic bags, or matches to prevent the tens of thousands of school-age deaths that occur each year due to unintentional accidents

179 persons under age 25 have died from COVID.
How does that compare to the number of pediatric deaths from influenza during the 2019-2020 flu season?
“A total of 185 influenza-associated pediatric deaths occurring during the 2019-2020 season have been reported to CDC.”

It’s the sane logical truth that angers the Fearpers here!
Masks don’t work. Everyone knows this.
It is 110 everyday where I live. People breathing with sweat, snot spit, dust, dirt & whatever infectious particles are on the mask thru a wet sweaty piece of cloth or paper.
You can’t breathe like that. And it fogs my glasses diminishing my vision.
So people wear masks only while entering a business so the business doesn’t get reported by a Karen. Masks off once inside. Nobody gives a damn. It’s too frickin hot nobody wears one outside. I feel sorry for employees forced to wear it all times at work. But someone will report them if they don’t.
I truly despise these Marxists & their Karen’s.
And their lies. And their blind obedience to the government.
Fantastic! Great post. The Fearper Karens will not like you.
The conjunctivitis thing has had me worried for a while. Nothing good can come from blowing crap trapped in masks directly into your eyes.
Yes, she is!
