    The problem with mask mandates isn't the word "mask", it's the word "mandate". These authoritarians in school boards, the Biden administration, state governments, and county health boards are all about forcing other people into compliance. The whole "mask mandate" is nothing but a study in how to force the populace to act like subjects instead of citizens.

    But enough is enough! This is the U.S.A. People who want to wear a mask have every opportunity to do so. People who do not want to wear a silly diaper over their face have the right to decline this farce!

    Next thing you know they will have a study saying horse paste works…
    If you look on Google ivermectin has saved lives of people on ventilators. However they had to take the hospitals to court to make them allow a Dr to use it.
    Ivermectin is cheap and effective. Possibly why the medical professionals do not want to allow its usage.

    Look at the Zelenko protocol. Cheap and it's effective.... but there's no $$$ in it. So it's get your jab and your vent / remdesivier when you're hospitalized...

    The Bangladesh study should have settled the mask issue. Cloth masks are almost worthless. Surgical masks are better. N95 masks work but are still not 100%. Wearing a mask around your chin does less than zero. It makes a good germ catcher.

    I'll say it again, masks were a possible mitigating factor when we thought the virus wasn't airborne. With a virus transmitted via bodily fluids, masks and social distancing could minimize, but not completely reduce transmission of the virus. Without going N95 with a proper seal and procedures, or fully self contained suits with their own oxygen supply, masks would at least help a little in preventing the spread of the disease.

    Once we knew (6 months in or so) that COVID-19 was airborne, both masks and social distancing became just this side of worthless. This has been known for over a year, yet the establishment, both government and medical, are perpetrating this fraud, even on children. This is ridiculous. We need people to stand up against this garbage, because it's nothing but virtue signaling and a form of control. If you want to actually follow the science, you don't allow this garbage to be pulled which directly goes against the science.

    Tldr version - masks can't work because the virus is too small to be stopped by the weave of the material of the mask. Social distancing doesn't work, especially indoors because the virus particles linger in the air for extended periods of time.

    As much time as CKW and I spend in one Hospital or another wearing the Bravo Sierra face diaper has become just another bull :poop: step In Our path. It’s second nature. Even most of the staff we see multiple times weekly hate this but the power brokers won’t let go. Once empowered they will not step off. There are still idiots that will pitch a fit in public if you do t have one on. It their numbers seem to be falling off but I do t get around much these days outside my medical routine.

    Aside from a couple doctor appointments, I haven't worn a mask in over 6 months. If they put mandates back in place they're going to have to lock me up because I won't wear them again. I have a low tolerance for BS and have had enough.
