I have run into some karen's. My great aunt told me I'm selfish because of stance on masks and that I will bring home the virus to my handicap mother and hurt her.

[DEPcom]

I am scared of Mask Fanatics, they sound like 666 people. It sounds like they are all over the place. Hopefully, I do not run into any of them. I will have to keep my eyes open for them.

COVID is the new religion of the Left and “the mask” is their symbol. They are the BORG of this century.

Ask her “If masks capture viruses (virii?), why don’t they have to be disposed of as hazardous medical waste?”.

[bray]

Masks are as effective as stopping mosquitoes with a chain link fence.

[glennaro]

Just refuse to play their game as I have done all along ... so I figure, why start now?

[ConservativeDude]

It’s time to start resisting and going in public sans mask.

I know that’s easy for me to say because I’m in a Texas county where though most everyone wears them, they won’t hassle you.

But it’s time to start ditching the masks, folks. Unless someone else has a better plan to start reclaiming sanity and freedom....

[rktman]

As is usual for the drones, as long as they FEEEEEELLLLLL good about themselves and they are “actually” doing something....... Well, you know the rest of the story. Yeah, they would have bought jim jones crap or LRH crap. We bought some shields that clip on to our glasses frames. Minimal aggravation when entering places that REQUIRE face coverings. They are okay in NV. Not sure about other locations. Just in case anyone is interested, here is the link. We got the box of 12 for $60. Well worth it if compliance is an issue:

If you don’t wear glasses, go buy some cheap readers at the store and take the lenses out.

Masks for some are like a child’s security blanket; utterly useless, but the cause of hysteria if you take it away.

[NautiNurse]

I like face masks. Don’t have to apply makeup before leaving the house. Life is so much easier now. Face masks forevuh!

[jeffc]

At least here west of Ocala in central Florida, Publix and Walmart have removed the idiotic one-way aisles that most people ignored anyway.

[tbw2]

It has become hijab. Especially when they say “Wear a mask, but not the patterns we don’t like.” If your life depends on it, you don’t get to tell me I can’t wear one with a flag or MAGA on it.

[Sooner Gal]

I’m going to start telling people this:

If I choose not to wear a mask, but keep my distance from you who do, and you think I’m going to kill you - YOU need a better mask!

1. Politics and social activists are always looking for an issue to exploit. They stir up the masses in some next apocalyptic disaster unless we vote for them. Example, Biden and his goofy ass mask. Global warming, acid rain, ozone hole... It’s always the same M.O: It’s an emergency that requires immediate attention or else all the rain forest will be chopped down, we will asphyxiate because the trees are all dead from acid rain, get skin cancer from an ozone hole...

2. Government is always willing to help. They will always jump on the band-wagon and save us from immediate extinction by writing more regulations and of course creating some form of tax. Of course government agencies protecting us need a bigger budget and more people to provide this new essential service in the war on drugs, against the corona virus, to make sure you don’t have a pair of seal skin boots as you cross the border or track how many decongestant pills you purchase. If it were not for a US government agency regulating everything, earth would begin to spin backwards, wobble and fall into the sun.

3. The news media of course is bias, but they are also always on the search for that next new story because their goal is to maximize viewers and sell commercial time. So hyperbole, controversy, conflict, shock, fear, greed, pop culture crap is what they sell. They will take whatever the trash of the day is and beat the drum 24/7 (if that gets people viewing).

4. Then you have the corporate interests that have learned to exploit these issues, from Du Pont which made billions off the ban of older refrigerants, subsidies to green businesses like Tesla, big pharma and their games with vaccines, etc.

But that is how it goes, and it will continue. Why you ask? Because just like we first crawl, walk and then learn to run, there is an endless supply of younger folks (they tend to be more susceptible to this nonsense) that lacking the wisdom get excited about the next big impending apocalypse, unless of course we vote for X, buy a Y, and watch it all unfold on network Z.

Governments Will Impose New Covid-19 Lockdowns/Restrictions If They Think They Can Get Away with It!

This just sends chills up the back of my neck and made the hair on my arms stand up!

I have some African DNA, which meant that those ancestors were slaves. Any documentation shows that they and their descendants were Free Slaves by the 1700’s.

At one time some of my ancestors were slaves or indentured servants.

As per AG Barr* cited below, now my descendents of all races/ages are losing their freedom due to the illegal lockdowns

*In remarks Wednesday night at an event hosted by Hillsdale College, Barr called the lockdown orders the “greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American History” since slavery. 9/16/2020

You only need a Mask if you watch Television!!!

https://swprs.org/face-masks-evidence/

So far, most studies found little to no evidence for the effectiveness of cloth face masks in the general population, neither as personal protective equipment nor as a source control.

The WHO admitted to the BBC that its June 2020 mask policy update was due not to new evidence but “political lobbying”: “We had been told by various sources WHO committee reviewing the evidence had not backed masks but they recommended them due to political lobbying. This point was put to WHO who did not deny.” (D. Cohen, BBC Medical Corresponent)

In many states, infections began to increase after mask mandates were introduced. The following chart shows the very typical example of France. Other examples include California, Florida, Hawaii, Argentina, Peru, the Philippines, Spain, Italy, the UK, Israel, Switzerland and many more.

You still see an occasional person driving their car, alone, wearing a mask. I still can’t figure that one out.

[sauropod]

Does the Federalist now need excerpting?

[odawg]

All this reminds me of Ayn Rand’s novelette “Anthem” where science has been outlawed for the good of mankind.

I read this when I was a teenager and thought it a great read but that it was impossible to actually occur. I was wrong.

The New Green Deal seeks to accomplish just that, in that the benefits of science will be denied to the average person.

(s)your face is a thoughtcrime(/s)

[zeugma]

I never wear a mask. I sometimes get looks, but I really don’t give a damn. I’m not gonna wear a petri dish on my face. I do enough things that are bad for my health. I don’t need any more.
