...”The variant has undeniably changed the terms of our engagement with this pandemic,” Kafoury said at a news conference Monday, where she was joined by public health officials, Portland Public Schools Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero and leaders of local health care systems.

“We know masks work,” she said. “They are tried and true, they are affordable and they’re an effective way to limit the spread of this virus and all its variants. Until enough of us are vaccinated all across Multnomah County, masks remain one of the best strategies to keep each other as safe as possible.”...

Heavily vaxxed Portland, Oregon returns to mask mandates now that we find out the vaccinated are little covid machines. “We know makes work,” they say, as case numbers will continue to rise. Conundrum.

[fwdude]

Oregon is a slave state. Don’t live in a slave state.

What, the covid isn’t showing up until Friday? Who believes this ignorance? It’s time to remove the people responsible for this lunacy by whatever means necessary. Or just do as your told and wear your mask.

[No_Mas_Obama]

I just saw something like 1.6b used masks have been discarded or are floating in the ocean or something. Guadalupe Guerrero should shed a tear for Gaia.

“We know masks work,” she said. “They are tried and true,”

Okay, show just one reputable study that any mask works.

Didn’t think so.

I count at least four lies in this short statement. Lies because this County "Chair" (I presume she doesn't think she's a piece of furniture but God-forbid she be called a "chairman" or even a "chairperson") knows what she says isn't true. And particularly vile lies not only because they harm children both physically and psychologically, but also because they give people who really need to avoid getting sick that masks will "protect" them.

I hate liars ... and this, uh, "chair" is a big liar. How I wish I could say this to her face ... in front of a roomful of people.

Friday the 13th.

[bigbob]

We should follow the example set by The Great Obama.

Believing in something that isn't true is a Mental Illness, SHOW ME THE SCIENCE!!

When a pig wants to lie in the mud, don’t stop him. However, the few friends that I have in Oregon are in my prayers.

[bray]

How do masks work other than virtue signaling?

[Zathras]

I am sure glad I left Oregon.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Wal-Mart and HD are back with the masks here in Atlanta.

“However, the few friends that I have in Oregon are in my prayers.”

Not all of us are robots. I play poker 3 times a week without a mask. 9 at a table handling cards and chips. There are more conservatives in Oregon than one might expect. I had both jabs early on since I am older. Have another Freeper friend.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Me too. Born and raised there, and it was a great place 40 or more years ago, but now I wouldn’t even visit.

[Pirate Ragnar]

“I am sure glad I left Oregon.”

I left LA or Oregon. It is better here. Less crime, less taxes, less traffic, four seasons, and besides, there are leftist idiots everywhere. It is no Texas or Florida, but there are more conservatives here than one suspects. (I don’t live in Portland however).

[lightman]

It’s all about teaching COMPLIANCE….
...not following “science”:

Masks are:

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!

Same here in north Idaho, although as of yesterday they haven’t put up any signs demanding that customers wear a slave muzzle. There seems to be more customers wearing the face diaper than a few weeks ago, but the majority are still breathing free.

[goodnesswins]

Idiots in government. Masks MAKE people sick. I think that’s what they want in Oregon. And I live here...

[Vendome]

Hmmm....

Funny how women an afford masks but, they can’t afford contraceptives...
