Several months ago, President Joe Biden was vaccinated. In the White House, he is surrounded by people who have also been vaccinated. Nevertheless, he continues to wear a mask, even when outdoors or alone on Zoom calls with world leaders. In a recent online conference call, Biden was the only world leader wearing a mask.
This week, he was asked by a reporter why he continues to wear a mask outdoors, even though the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has lifted that requirement for those who have been vaccinated. Biden said, “Because, when we’re inside, it’s still good policy to wear the mask, that’s why. When I am outside, and the problem is: Lots of times, I walk away from this podium, you notice, I forget to put my mask back on because I’m used to not wearing it outside.”
In other words, he wears the mask because he forgets to take it off when going outside. However, he did just the opposite when he recently met with former President Jimmy Carter, 96 years old, and his wife Rosalyn Carter, 93 years old. A photo of the encounter showed that neither Biden, nor his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, wore masks for their meeting with the President and his wife. If Biden claims it is “good policy” to wear a mask indoors, why did he not wear it when meeting with two very elderly individuals who are potentially susceptible to the spread of the virus?
Possibly Biden did not realize that former President Carter would release the photo to the public. When Biden left the meeting with the Carters to go outside, he immediately placed his mask back on. He attached a mask outdoors, despite the CDC guidelines. All this did was show the media and the public that mask wearing should continue. It was another example of insane virtue signaling to the American public.
The left has more than an affinity for masks, they have a true love affair. A mask shows your obedience to the government. It creates faceless Americans, devoid of personality, following orders from all-knowing health officials.
In our country, too many leftists are quite willing to submit to government authorities, while conservatives are more independent minded, enjoy their freedoms and have a tradition of questioning authority.
As the COVID-19 mitigation measures, including mask mandates, have continued in many states for almost 14 months, millions of Americans are ready for these measures to end. In school districts across the country, parents are criticizing local education officials about the continuation of mask mandates. There are regular fights among Americans at airports, stadiums, and other public places about masks. As more Americans become vaccinated, the opposition to masks will only grow.
The entire rationale for mask mandates has always been suspect. While it is the left’s favorite symbol of oppression, its effectiveness in stopping the spread of COVID-19 has been uncertain from the very beginning. Even Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the CDC originally did not recommend wearing a mask.
Eventually, the mask mantra became part of the continuing messaging Americans heard from local, state, and national government officials. However, the absurdity of wearing a mask has always been apparent to anyone who examines the rules.
It is ridiculous to wear a mask into a restaurant, then several feet away take it off at a table for several hours, only to place it back on for a few seconds to leave. In Congress and other public meetings, speakers wear a mask to walk to the microphone, remove it to speak, put it back on, and this continues for the duration of the hearing.
All of this posturing is strictly for the cameras, it is not based on definitive scientific or health studies. Fortunately, more Americans are rising up and demanding the nonsense ends.
Wearing a mask inhibits a person’s ability to breath. Most people wear masks that are not sanitized and are brimming with germs. Few Americans follow the guidelines on how masks should be regularly cleaned. Often wearing a mask creates more health problems for the user than it prevents.
At this point, healthy Americans should not be wearing a mask. It should be worn only by those who are elderly and have serious health conditions. It is time for the healthy and vaccinated people to put the mask away. If we see Americans wearing a mask outdoors or while exercising, it is time to treat them with ridicule, for they are being truly foolish.
Currently, 25 states, mostly Democratic strongholds, have statewide mask mandates. The rest of the states never had a mandate or lifted it in some way by executive, legislative or judicial order. It is no coincidence that people living in liberal states want mask mandates to continue, while those living in conservative states are embracing their freedom.
Finally, some government experts are making sense about the continuation of the mask mandates. For example, Scott Gottlieb, former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration Commissioner, noted that the widespread distribution of vaccines should allow for all indoor mask mandates to be promptly ended.
He said, “I think we should start lifting these restrictions as aggressively as we put them in.” According to Gottlieb, “the only way to earn public credibility is to demonstrate you're willing to relax these provisions when the situation improves, that’s what gives you the credibility to implement them when things worsen.”
Fortunately, Gottlieb believes that the COVID-19 infection rates will continue to fall and that the “summer looks very good.” If only the Biden administration agreed with this analysis. The CDC is still recommending that all Americans, regardless of vaccine status, wear a mask indoors. If this is the case, what is the incentive for getting a vaccine?
The answer is that the Biden administration wants Americans to be vaccinated but is also invested in the mask mandate and wants it to continue indefinitely.
The reason he always wears a mask is so those who control him can broadcast an imitation of his voice through a small speaker in the mask. This gives the appearance that he can still think and talk.
With all their heart...

End all obedience training mask mandates now!
Coronavirus PING!
I think that she is telling us what color her undies are as well.
1) a sign of submission, subversion and subjugation
2) mandated in order to dehumanize
3) virtue signaling devices
4) meant to provide constant reinforcement of fear
5) used to destroy community, friends and family normal communication
6) implemented to create isolation, confusion, anxiety, destroy human connectivity, trust and interactions
7) mandated to exacerbate illness
8) intended to aid in the abandonment of the belief and reliance on our immune systems
9) intended to refute integrous science
10) signal to positions of power that you are willing to give up all of your rights and freedoms based on anything they say, even if it is a BIG FAT LIE!
As any poker player will tell you, it’s easier to lie when people can’t see your face...
F liberals and the mask they rode in on.
This entire mask nonsense is completely psychological.
It awards power, authority and control to people who haven’t earned it, and who are most likely to become corrupted by it.
Similar to the rabid tobaccophobic karen who marches across a street to yell at the person lighting a cigarette that the smoke is, “Bothering her.”
Excellent!
” “I think we should start lifting these restrictions as aggressively as we put them in.” “
Yeah, because otherwise some people are going to need to wear something to cover their asses.
....someone just told me that a few minutes ago, the corrupt CDC just came out with new guidelines saying even 6 feet separation is not enough....the COVID can be carried by droplets farther than 6 feet.... anybody else see this story....? perfect timing....get the sheep, sorry, the population all fearful again and its back to wearing masks....!!
Some expert—CDC or otherwise—recently postulated that in an INDOOR air environment 6 feet is no better than 60 feet.
Duration, not distance is the determinant of exposure risk.
Outdoor is relatively low risk.
And remember, 99.98% survivable.
He is also the only world leader (?) who did not have his nation's flag in the picture.
The American burka. Wear it with sheeply pride!
There will come a time, and it’s perhaps already here, when decent Americans should become enthusiastic about wearing masks. The mask makes it harder for the full force of the FBI to identify us after we make America a better place in whatever manner:
- wear a mask
- do not carry a cell phone
- make sure your actions permanently solve a problem
Yep. I’m guessing a lot of us are close to the point where we will embrace masks too. If Antifa can wear masks while destroying America, we can and in some cases should wear them while responding to the various threats and protecting America.
IMO, he wears a mask because it’s not him and without the mask, people could tell.
And when he talks with the mask on, we don’t know what he’s really saying. Whatever is being broadcast is not necessarily what is coming out of his mouth.
OTOH, masks give you the ability to hide your identity from the “observers” all around us.
OTOH it’s merely a virtue signal to train us to be obedient and to snitch on people. I walked into a store the other day and someone said “Sir, you need a face covering to come in here”. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a mask. “Got one” I said and put it back into my pocket. Grand mal triggering.
Rd and laugh later.
