UK Government Medical Officer Says Masks Should Be Worn FOR YEARS
Summit News ^ | 3 December, 2020 | Steve Watson

WHO issues new guidelines advising everyone to wear masks everywhere despite admitting they do nothing..

The UK’s deputy chief medical officer warned Wednesday that despite the arrival of COVID vaccines, face masks will still have to be worn “for years” to come.

Professor Jonathan Van-Tam said that he expects to see the face coverings become as commonplace as they are in China and other places in the far east.

Van-Tam urged that there will be no opportunity to “have a massive party and throw out our masks and hand sanitiser” now that a vaccine is here.

Van-Tam also warned that “the vaccine isn’t going to help you if you don’t take it,” adding that “Watching others take it and hoping that this will then protect you isn’t going to work.”

He added that the virus is likely “going to be with humankind forever.”

Meanwhile, new guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO) has suggested that everyone should be wearing a face mask everywhere indoors at all times, as well as outdoors whenever they cannot keep more than a metre away from others.

The health body issued a new information sheet with the guidelines, but admits that there is “limited evidence” that masks have any effect on stopping the spread of coronavirus.

An in depth study by Danish scientists at Copenhagen University recently found no evidence that masks protect anyone from the virus.

As we are finding out, doctors are the most power hungry, dictatorial, deranged m’fers on the planet.
Give them a taste of power and they will grab you by the throat and never let go..if you let them.
Time to free ourselves from the shackles imposed by the crazy doctors, and invite them to a neck tie party if they insist on destroying our lives.

Actually very few in China wore masks before the virus, pretty much the same for Japan and Korea. Some places like Taiwan had much higher rates of mask usage before the virus, but that was due to the pollution from all of their scooters...not fear of diseases.

Bottom line - I have no idea what this clown is talking about.

This anti-germ mania will lead to some of the worst epidemics in human history.

If this does not stop, humans will have no herd immunity to ANY infectious diseases - especially the respiratory diseases, which mutate into a new virus at least once a year.

Masks are not going away for years. Even if not mandated, some of the scaredy babies will wear them, you know the folks that drive alone in their car with a mask on.

And some business owners will encourage masks. Look at China and how masks are part of daily life there. It’s here, it’s not going away.

Americans really are stupid. I mean stone stupid.

Nothing good happens after that.

Do it like they do brake tags. You go in each year to a masking station and pay your mask tax. They crazy glue the mask to your face and perform annual inspection and mask alignment.

Just like 6 weeks to flatten the curve. Or was it 6 month? Or 6 years?

4 minutes of your viewing time...

Important programming lesson in this video. Second video down, titled “this is too important”. Just get through the first four+ minutes and you’ll see how easily we have been programmed...or is it brainwashed?...

https://www.amazingpolly.net/

...now it is easy to see how mask Nazis are created and how the propaganda media and social media can so easily compel us to “conform”. And in the example shown, there were NO instructions given, just pure suggestion. WAKE UP AMERICA...how have you enjoyed your nine month trial period of communism?

(I will repeat this post on a few more planDEMic threads for others to see, so thank you in advance for tolerating the reposts)
