I never had Covid or any of its variants back in 2020-21, and I’ll take my chances with it, rather than the cancerous N95 masks, of which I have a case of.

We need anti-masks with little battery-powered fans to spread our antibody-laden exhaust even further.

I had it. I’ve had worse migraines. I actually didn’t know, until my wife got sick and lost taste/smell. But I had a nasty headache, with exhaustion for two days. Same as I get for a migraine.

Even if effective masks like the M-95 type might have some slight advantage, during the previous mask madness people used homemade makeshift cloth masks, bought or were given ineffective cloth masks which were seldom if ever washed or more common wore the masks with their nose exposed….kind of like wearing a condom on your testicles. This is simply another attempt to control the population and create another COVID panic to again facilitate stealing the election. I fully expect idiot governors in blue states to again needlessly shut down schools and businesses. I hope there are enough sane people who will resist this mask madness

I got headaches, too. But my retired RN-NP (41 yrs) Sister said her whole staff at UCSF-Kaiser Permanente used them daily, with no effects. I always carry some in my Jeep, and to Wellspan medical app’ts, but won’t wear any.

Hard for me to believe that people would wear those stupid masks, after learning that even the best of them are virtually ineffective & are certainly more problems than they are worth. The scientific information is out there to be found.

A possibly toxic effect of prolonged mask-wearing, particularly for pregnant women, children, and adolescents, was identified in a review of the scientific literature published this year by German researchers. They warn that mask-wearers are rebreathing carbon dioxide at levels linked with adverse effects on the body’s cardiovascular, respiratory, cognitive, and reproductive systems.

I have no medical training or education whatsoever (beyond the standard “Get the Science Credits Knocked Out” college Biology class) and I knew this from the get-go. We are not designed to breathe in our own exhaust.

I especially hated seeing masks on little children. If adults want to participate in that nonsense, fine. But let those kids breathe freely.

Take every mask you have whether it’s in your car or in your home take it outside and burn it. Just burn it baby!

The amount of pollution dumped in landfills and the oceans is obscene thanks to these maskholes. Save the planet unless it interferes with big government control of our lives.

Then there is the science from the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic. A mask captures bacteria inhaled thru it, and holds it against their face.
When exhaling, the mask traps toxins and waste from the person's body against their face.
When inhaling, the bacteria trapped by the mask is taken in, with some of the toxins and waste held by the mask. Innumerable victims of the viral 'flu' died from the bacterial infections in their lungs. If your physician cannot understand this, and you do, then you need to seek a physician that does not want to feed on you.

I Loved the One Way Signs. I would ALWAYS go the Wrong Way. Every once in a while some Stupid Maskerbater would say to me “this is a One Way Aisle. “

My response was always the same, “WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM, I’M ONLY GOING ONE WAY.” The mumble of four letter words coming through their mask was Priceless!!!!!

The purveyors of low flow toilets to “save water” never tire of making people miserable and bossing them around.
