The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated its stance on masks and is now recommending wearing masks for up to six months a year in health care settings. “CDC is in the early stages of developing metrics that could be used to guide when to implement select infection prevention and control practices for multiple respiratory viruses,” the CDC said in a May 8 update to its recommendations for health care personnel during COVID-19. “Some facilities might consider recommending masking during the typical respiratory virus season (approximately October-April),” the agency said. The recommendation for six months of...

In case you were wondering why all views contrary to the Official Narrative have been canceled, it's because of the Asch Conformity Experiment. We have just gone through a nationwide, and actually a worldwide, Asch Conformity Experiment. As implied, the goal of the experiment was not to get to the truth. It was to get conformity. Only conformity is allowed. Asch showed that people will actually believe things that they know to be false if they think everybody else believes those things. That is the point of the COVID nightmare experiment we just lived though. You must believe: -COVID is...

Maskaholics Wearing a mask may still give some people a sense of security, but they could breathe more easily if they’d face the facts.The pandemic has eased, but not the compulsion of many Americans to cover their faces. Fully vaccinated adults are still wearing masks on their solitary walks outdoors, and officials have been enforcing mask mandates on airline passengers and on some city-dwellers and students. (Though today’s ruling by U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Tampa, declaring the Biden administration’s mask mandate for public transportation unlawful, comes as welcome news.) Maskaholics in the press are calling for...

MY getting ordered out of the library today. *suddenly* masks are required to enter AGAIN. New rule because the hellhole of denver, colorado runs the library system. "Sir, you can't come in here without a mask!" quoth the mask enforcer. "This is bullsh*t" quoth Dynachrome *New rule" quoth the mask stalinist. "Bullsh*t quoth Dynachrome and exited while giving the finger to the sad looking little gulag guard.

Sanity, intellectual honesty, critical thinking and rationality are dead. The COVID response killed those qualities and purposefully discouraged and disparagingly labeled anyone who still engages with them. For anyone who has paid even the slightest amount of attention to the world over the past eighteen and a half months, this is not news. But it’s still infuriating. COVID response has eliminated the ability of countries to function as coherent, livable societies. It’s led to purposeful misinformation from media outlets, and immediately disproven expert claims mindlessly repeated by the press. As we’ve seen throughout the United States (and the rest of...

The new guidance could essentially allow anyone to go mask-free indoors without proof of vaccination. And that kind of honor system might jeopardize others, including children under the age of 12 who can't get vaccinated yet and adults who might be at more risk than they think. "We've seen governors and mayors and business owners drop mask mandates, and as a result of that, we've now made life much less safe for people who are unvaccinated, for immunocompromised individuals and for young children who cannot yet be vaccinated," Wen said. "I think the CDC meant to say something really good,...

Andover parents Kristin and Scott are speaking out on behalf of their daughter. She along with two of her friends are freshmen at UMass Amherst. A picture posted on social media of the three friends not wearing masks outside was handed over to the university and that has landed them in serious trouble. “There was a photo sent to the administration of these girls outside off campus on a Saturday. This is why they lost a whole semester of their schooling,” Kristin said.

MASKHOLES ARE LITTERBUGS THROWING THEIR BIOHAZARD WASTE ON THE GROUND! Isn't the motto of the mask wearers: "WE WEAR BECAUSE WE CARE!" ? Come on now, are we soon going to start seeing commercials of poor birds and helpless little turtles strangled in your discarded masks and gloves? And what about the dolphins? Yeah, what about them? Have you people NO respect for anything? You wear a mask because you "care" and then after you have gotten all your CARES displayed to the public, you walk right out of Costco and throw your damn mask on the ground! What the...
