The next wave of mask mandates
American Thinker ^ | 28 Apr, 2022 | Steve Karp, M.D.

Posted on 04/28/2022 4:04:44 AM PDT by MtnClimber

To be generous, the use of masks during what was billed as a viral based respiratory pandemic is pseudoscience at best, given what was worn, how it was worn, where it was worn, the duration it was worn, and so on and so on. No need to beat the dead horse who did not die of COVID.

Masking is now on the decline as evidenced by the rollback in cities, states, public transportation, etc. Though there is still the issue of masking children in school, that will likely go by the wayside in the short run. Primarily, it will be due to the political class looking toward re-election; once you let the parents off the hook, it is a liability to keep the charade going by using children as hostages. To rational people, it should be clear that there was never a scientific rationale to justify masking's use and obvious child abuse to continue.

But if I were an evil genius, how could I keep my pet project of subjugation — I mean protecting the public's safety — going? Well, this is a medical issue, after all, so I'd look for the obvious: the medical environment.

Though I am not an evil genius, there is a guy who plays one on TV.

SNIP

According to the CDC, there are 860,000,000 medical office visits and 130,000,000 E.R. visits each year.

SNIP

The CDC is the organization that our political class has followed for all matters, whether tangential or not, related to COVID. CMS, the Medicare and Medicaid organization, follows the "guidance" of the CDC. Most medical providers and sites of service accept Medicare and Medicaid and are therefore bound by CMS rules. If masks are recommended by the CDC, CMS will require it

There will be something pulled out of the hat ahead of the mid=term elections that will cause a need for mail-in ballots and extended delivery and counting...again. Count on it.

We're pretty well resolved that they're gonna pull that sh**.

I think a couple states said you don't need any reason to use a mail in. I think NYS is one.

I hate them. I hate that there are those I love who embrace them wholeheartedly.

Government involvement in medical care is a bad thing. Medicine just becomes a tool of manipulation and social control. They would do the same with food. If we get food shortages, the government will step in to "help" and pretty soon only the political class will be able to eat beef.

--- "No need to beat the dead horse who did not die of COVID."

As of 24 April 2022,

( 6,217,641 "global deaths" / 7,891,809,240 global population ) x 100 = 0.079 percent mortality over 28 months.

The "deadly" pandemic which "warranted" emergency drugs, mandates and lockdowns has been survived by 99.9 percent of the global population.

” I hate that there are those I love who embrace them wholeheartedly.”

...same here. I’m going to my sisters funeral this weekend. Two of her kids and their spouses are big lefties and I don’t have it in me to accept that. I despise them for it and have 0 tolerance for their voting habits. They are destroying everything I’ve worked for and my childrens future. Ignorance of history and economics are no excuse. One word of them about Biden’s “doing all he can” or whatever and I’ll shut ‘em down. My sister was very conservative. She’d understand.

And that number is not true. How many died with a positive test, and not from Covid.
At one point the average age of Covid death was a bit higher than the average life span…

Things have gotten so much worse whenever federal government gets involved:
* Health care
* Energy
* Education
* Food (existing price supports)
* Welfare
* Public safety

Sounds like the Weekend From Hell — on many levels. Best you can do when a family funeral is involved is grit your teeth and go home ASAP. (If a funeral were not involved, you could point and laugh.)

But Biden is doing all he can -- to destroy this country.

I'm with you. I cannot tolerate fools, especially fools who are enabling such evil policies.

Yikes. It’s heartbreaking enough to say goodbye to your sister, but that adds insult to injury. I’m very sorry.

We agree that as one uses the "official" stats, truth still is not to be found. The point is that the "not true" number is still generated from the "official" data, suggesting that we are navigating a swamp of BS from the outset.

Given that Louse Slob's "Covid-19: the Great Reset" was published so soon after the official declaration of a pandemic shows the game. "Official" data was "with" as well as "from," and the taxonomic system was gamed. Power and money were, are and remain the predators' game. We are the prey.

I agree with your post.
I also find it odd that most/many seem to care more about the Ukraine than our own country being invaded and falling to pieces.
But hey, there’s a bad cold going around, so…

I know. I use the morons’s name as a placeholder for those controlling him. And, as you say, it is indeed probably BHO.

And they’ll claim that the 99.9% survived because of their outrageous actions not in spite of them.
