    Let’s all just go ahead and put on a mask that does not do anything. Let’s all make sure we have our papers so if somebody wants to check us we can show them we have been vaccinated. Let’s wear a mask outside. Let’s remember the virus cannot get in you if you are in the process of eating or drinking. Unless, of course, we are a US Senator from NY. Then we don’t have to comply. BTW, did you read the CDC has told us cloth face diapers are useless?

    THIS is Tyranny: From the Salt Lake Tribune:

    “Were Utah a truly civilized place, the governor’s next move would be to find a way to mandate the kind of mass vaccination campaign we should have launched a year ago, going as far as to deploy the National Guard to ensure that people without proof of vaccination would not be allowed, well, anywhere,

    Mask mandates are also tyranny,. Despite mask mandates and massive mask compliance, Omicron cases are spiking in LA and New York. It is tyrannical to demand that people follow arbitrary edicts with no efficacy to demonstrate their compliance with the corrupt overlords who pretend to want to protect them, but really just want to expand their command and control structures.

    On 12/17, Los Angeles Public Health issued a press release saying mask compliance exceeded 95% and that “high compliance with masking" was keeping cases in LA down as “one of the most effective strategies at reducing the spread of the virus”

    Cases are up 2,122% since

    I take extreme exception to people who compare anything this government does to the Holocaust. I know enough of history to know the event and even met Holocaust survivors.

    It is true that one of our political parties wants to establish a totalitarian regime which will be the basis for genocide, but we aren’t there yet.

    The only thing I can say about these people is “God forgive them for they know not what they do.” They do know that they are being hateful, but they are ignorant as to why. Somebody had to tell them that part.

    In Wiley’s morality play the “virtuous” will starve in a pointless effort, while the non-virtuous stupid take other bait. Prudent skeptics aren’t in the picture. That’s about right.

    I have always thought that wearing a mask is preferable to wearing a ventilator. A mask is to buy time. Time for the virus to stay airborne and die. Time for the air in the room to be ventilated. A mask protects the person wearing it by adding 3-5 layers for any viral aerosols to have to penetrate before being breathed in and it forces exhaled breath upwards instead of forward, so any viral spores are pushed up (warm air rises) where they will dissipate and [hopefully] die before being breathed in by someone else. That is why room ventilation is also very important. When one is thrown into the water, a branch to hold on to is better than nothing if it keeps you afloat until you can see the shore.

    If I’m driving a couple blocks to another store I often don’t take my mask off in the car. And, I’m so used to wearing one II often don’t realize I still have it on. Besides, it keeps my face warm in a cold car.

    The virus dies out when there are no longer any hosts to infect, that is, those with acquired immunity, vaccinated immunity, or are dead. The vaccinated official at an outdoor football game pulling his mask down to make a ruling is an absurdity.

    The mask it might help protect you from that virus that escaped a Level 4 infectious disease lab in Wuhan that Dr. F helped fund with US tax dollars. In fact, wear two masks, he suggested. Same goes for the jab touted by big Pharma and their paid spokespersons in the media – get 2 jabs, then 3; fill our pockets. And if there is anyone publicly questioning their actions, punish them. The thought police are coming. A recent Rasmussen poll shows nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications. Only 27% of all voters – including just 14% of Republicans and 18% of unaffiliated voters – favor criminal punishment of vaccine critics. Things that make me go hmmm?

    interesting how the narrative changed from “wear a cloth mask to protect others” to “wear a k95 to protect yourselves”. They finally admitted that most cloth masks don’t do much to stop the virus.

    Masks will NOT prevent getting covid or giving covid. They will LOWER the odds of getting or giving Covid. That’s why I wear them. A better mask will lower the odds more than a poorer mask. K95’s lower the odds more than cloth only. If you you don’t believe this, then next time you get surgery, tell your surgeon not to wear a mask. It only gets in his way.. (Sarcasm intended)

    “Science” = a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws; systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation. Allows for different interpretations or schools of thought, competition of ideas in the search for truth.

    “THE Science” = politics, the use of a layman’s interpretation of science as “Objective Reality” in order to coerce under force of law acceptance of a particular interpretation to protect or advance an ideology, e.g., committing political dissidents to mental institutions in the Soviet Union.
