COVID Mask Mandates Return
Epoch Times ^ | 8/22/23 | Matthew Lysiak

Posted on 08/23/2023 8:27:52 AM PDT by CFW

Nearly one year after President Joe Biden declared the pandemic over, some colleges and work places have reinstituted mask mandates amid reports that the administration is set to roll out new COVID regulations as early as next month.

The COVID sub-variant, currently known as Eris, which has been seen in more than 50 countries including Denmark and Israel, has spurred increasing numbers of medical professionals and health activists to begin calling for a reinstatement of COVID-era restrictions, including forced face coverings.

However, the public can expect any new regulations to be met by congressional pushback. Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) told The Epoch Times that new mandates would be “simply inappropriate for any level of government.”

“The notion that certain jurisdictions and institutions would rush back into mandate mode is not going to be well received by anyone in this country,” said Mr. Kiley. “The president himself has declared an end to the national emergency. A review of the evidence around these mandates has not shown a positive health impact.”

COVID Mask Mandates Return

"We Won’t Be Masked Again "

An excerpt:

"A summer surge of COVID-19 has some wondering aloud if we should return to mask mandates. For now, the official line, despite the media effort to rekindle coronavirus hysteria, is that it’s unlikely. But we heard that before, in 2020, right before public health officials dropped their mask tyranny on us. If they do it again, we have an obligation to say no.

Are we calling for civil disobedience? Are we suggesting that Americans resist orders that are not laws but are instead decrees issued by despots? Absolutely, and without reservation.

Masks are dehumanizing. When we cover our faces, we no longer look like people. We look like monsters, freaks from bad science fiction movies. Half-blank faces stare back at us as our ability to communicate is skewed. A masked society is a hideous society.

When we wear masks because we are told to, we subjugate ourselves, surrender our agency to others. We symbolically kneel before abusive authorities that should have no authority over us. Are we free people or are we subordinates to politicians and an administrative structure that has accrued illegitimate power?"

Got to have a reason that states can’t get rid of mail-in ballots with the election approaching.

The libs are hanging on so much, they are willing to lose their fingernails.

I would say that 98.5% of Americans are done with masks and lock downs.

We should look at new mask mandates as an opportunity to discuss the extreme Covid mandates of Newsome and Whitmer, two top contenders for the Democrat Presidential nomination.

Eris: Greek god of chaos and discord. At least they’re telling you the plan if you are paying attention.

Any such mandate should be immediately responded to with TROs and lawsuits to prevent their implementation.

Whitmer is a contender?! Just say “no.” She is trouble.

“The president himself has declared an end to the national emergency.”

C’mon, Man! Y’all know he THOUGHT there was a pudding shortage, but then he got some pudding and now it’s all cool. No National Emergency.

It’s all about teaching COMPLIANCE….
...not “following the $cience”:

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!

The worst part of Whitmer running for press is the fact no one knows who she even is. So, this new mask mandate is a perfect time to use her extreme lockdowns as an example of Democrat Covid tyranny.

Here’s a question: Are health systems and colleges/unis that reinstate muzzle mandates getting a quid pro quo from Deep State?

Inquiring minds want to know.

And a note to the NYS health systems reinstating muzzle mandates: I really hope that patients and visitors who catch your employees violating their own employer’s infection control protocols with regard to the damn things report the instances all over social media.

Muzzles are fomites.

And CoupFlu isn’t the only bug out there.

There’s a reason, isn’t there, we’ve heard bupkis about nosocomial infections since CoupFlu...

And now for my canned posting - Covid-19(84) was a dry run, even if by accident, for the Mark of the Beast



THE FOLLOWING IS SOMETHING SAVED FOR MULTIPLE POSTINGS

Global.........basically, THE ENTIRE WORLD (for all intents and purposes)

Covid-19(84) ---> Covid-19(84) is not the Mark of the Beast.

(I'm just saying that for the thread)

BUT:

The parallels are downright eerie.

A clear warning of things to come.

Covid-19 came as a snare. Now it's not THE snare.

But still, it came as a snare. UPON THE ENTIRE WORLD.

A snare that came upon the entire world and institutionalized Global tyranny almost overnight.

Determining if you can travel, BUY and in some cases SELL.

Or if you can even work a job.

Tyranny upon tyranny.

The parallels are just too eerie and too spot-on.

This is a very clear foreshadowing of Revelation chapter 13 and the sheep are blind to it.
