How Much Longer Must We Endure the Mask?
American Thinker.com ^ | June 7, 2021 | Doris O'Brien

Not since the glove in the O.J. Simpson murder case has a piece of fabric received more notoriety and discussion than the modern mask. Even after Joe Biden shuffled up to the mic to take what was supposed to be a verbal victory lap for COVID decline, a surprising number of Americans were still reluctant to believe in the safety of "facing" the world without it.

In a contentious America whose resentments are played out publicly in the name of race, sex, social status, and political affiliation, it is perhaps not surprising that one's choice to wear or discard a mask has also given rise to controversy.

Yet even now, there are far fewer objections to wearing a mask than to getting inoculated with the COVID-19 vaccines, despite the fact that the latter has been determined virtually fool-proof and the former just about useless.

For the first time since his presidency, Biden was conspicuously mask-less as he delivered the CDC verdict to the effect that vaccinated Americans — or those who gained immunity from having had the disease — were now free, with some exceptions, to remove their masks. As he droned on, Chameleon Joe tried to transform himself from the long-dark-winter, doom-and-gloom candidate into the triumphant victor over the virus. In fact, he had the chutzpah to taunt so-called "naysayers" over whom he himself had pessimistically presided.

One would think this long anticipated good news might send compliant Americans pouring into the streets to make bonfires of their well worn masks. But perhaps due to Biden's general flip-flopping on issues, a surprising number of skeptical people — ironically, most of them Democrats — did not take him at his word.

We’re not having to endure it much in my area.......in Florida.....

...other than an occasional shop, cafe or doctor’s office.....who didn’t get the memo

.....and the cruise ships who are still working on negotiations.....

...we are happily shopping at the Mall and eating at the restaurants.....and buying our groceries at the supermarkets

Cuomo lifted the muzzle requirement for publik skrewls last week.

Guess what?

Publik skrewls systems all over the state are still muzzling the students entrusted to their so-called care.

Bet teachers are really getting off on it, too...

Why did O’Vomit gave the OK to fund ‘Gain of Function research’ right before he left office?

O’Shitstain......11 days before leaving office...think about that...let that sink in.

His belongings were being boxed up and staff packing their bags...

...NOT LOGICALLY A TIME TO REINTRODUCE GAIN OF FUNCTION RESEARCH....

....UNLESS IT WAS PART OF THE PLAN.

O’Vomit SHOULD NOT BE BREATHING AIR!!!!!!

Doctors...

You know what it says on the backs of those boxes of disposable muzzles we buy?

NOT FOR USE IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS.

Big Med can go to Hades.

“real-world effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines”

“The large prospective study of almost 4,000 people found that full vaccination (with two doses) was 91% effective at preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection, while partial vaccination (with one dose) was 81% effective.”

There was a Gallup poll released last week that showed that 72% of Dems interviewed wanted to keep wearing masks and being subject to restrictions, while 87% of Republicans wanted to end them and restore normal life.

That tells you all you need to know.

I bought two 5-packs of masks for fifty cents each, marked down from $7.50.

By order of Resident Joe Biden, masks are still required on public transport.

If you wear a mask that’s your problem. They don’t crawl up on your face by themselves.

This entire mask versus nomask discussion would be much more coherent if masks actually helped prevent viral transmission. But they do not. They are pretty much useless.

I quit wearing it. I haven't had to in a long while. Texas is open. Most folks have given up on it except the die hard liberals who love the mask as it shows they are part of the great pandemic response. This pandemic is the worst thing they ever had to go through, so they are hanging on to it until they look foolish. They already look foolish, the rest of us just don't want to waste our breath on them.

Same here (texas). Went to a small town rodeo Memorial Day weekend and counted 3 masks out of 2k people. I stopped wearing them a month ago.

In the beginning, I wrote “HOAX” on my mask and, when forced to wear it, the mask never got above my chin.

My fitness club (LAFitness) never required it although they had the obligatory sign on the entrance door.

For the last few weeks, even WalMart has stopped posting mask NAZIs at the front door.

Masks? “They’re dead, Jim”

New data from the CDC. I don’t trust anything the CDC says. They are hiding how many have life-threatening side effects from the poison being injected into the lab rats.
