Read my lips: We’re not going back to masks and lockdowns again
NY Post ^ | 07/22/2021 | Karol Markowicz

Are we really doing this again? Are we really talking about returning to masking? Again?

Last weekend, Los Angeles County reinstituted its mask mandate for indoor settings. More than 60 percent of the county is fully vaccinated, but the mandate applies to both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

The move is absurd in several ways. For starters, it throws shade on the vaccines. If vaccination works, why do the vaccinated need to be masked? And if we do still need to be masked post-vaccine, why would anyone take the jabs? The vaccinated are protected, and the unvaccinated have had enough time to get vaccinated. We have to move on.

"If vaccination works, why do the vaccinated need to be masked?"

Because the vaccine does not prevent the virus. It only prevents the symptoms from becoming worse. People are not complying because our government and their accomplices in the media have been lying to us. Do the research and make your own decision.

Masks work even less and prevent nothing

Totally agree. If we do not rebel (by all means necessary) and make life very hard for those trying this again, we deserve whatever we get.

Bring it, and let’s get CW-II over with.

They are holding on to this because of the election coming up next year.

That’s because he did just the opposite, and began laying on taxes like mad.

That said, I hope the author is right and people will refuse and fight back.

So why do we keep returning to ineffective mitigation measures like masking in public spaces? It’s as if we have a mental block around the reality that masking like this is largely pointless.

I'm reminded of a joke ... perhaps the vilest joke I've ever heard, which I can't repeat here, but its punch line goes, "Well, you were doing such a good job that I felt I just had to do something!"

It’s more like the unvaccinated have had enough time to catch covid, and develop a natural immunity which protects them against variants... unlike the vaccinated.

This is what NOBODY is talking about.

The CDC has NO IDEA what percentage of the unvaccinated have already developed natural immunity.

You don’t hear anyone talking about natural antibody tests, or even taking advantage of those who have them.
(those with antibodies could be donating plasma)

>>> Masks work even less and prevent nothing

Masks actually INCREASE your chances of getting sick from the virus because of blood oxygen depletion.

Without a full supply of oxygen, your blood cannot fight anything!

Yes, and we got Bill Clinton instead. The election of the profoundly corrupt and unethical Slick Willie sent this country into a tailspin from which we have never recovered.

The election of Clinton was a step forward for the Left's incremental takeover of this country. Clinton was much worse than Carter. Obama was much worse than Clinton. Biden is much worse than Obama.

I was disappointed with GHWB's "Read My Lips" broken promise, but had enough sense to realize it was best to vote for him in Nov 1992 because of the reprobate he was running against.

Now here we are nearly 30 years later. For those of you reading this who stayed home in 1992 or voted for Perot, do you still believe you made the right decision?

Masks are also fomites.

In a restaurant setting, I’m more worried about noro or hepatitis than CoupFlu.

The communists and their global cabal and implementing the great reset restart absolutely shocked at how much voluntary compliance they got out of the sheeple

They were Photoshop that Trump let him steal the election and then the democratic socialist communist were forced to face all day I would walk down mask BS all by little cells and they had to give it up

Because these are godless communist they just go from one control scheme to another control scheme and that’s the nature of them

So of course they’re faking hey why not keep this going forever?

Gotta keep those universal mail-in ballots coming! The goal is to increase their Senate numbers and also hold on to the House, by hook or by crook.
“Delta variant” fear has to be pumped until the election is safely in the bag.

The people with the best protection are young people and those who had and recovered from COVID-19.

Those who got the jab are minimally protected.
