It's flu season, so the hysterical germaphobes are back out shouting that we should all wear face nappies - in spite of the overwhelming evidence against any benefit whatsoever.
Encouraging mask wearing is just pysops - it drives fear in the public's mind. Getting a little cynical of the pysops from PH etc, just hope a wider audience also sees the intent. We will all be the better for seeing it.
As I told the covid harpies before that I was not going to wear a mask, I advised them to wear as many masks as they wanted. Better yet - tie a plastic bag over their head as well to keep the covid virus away. 😉 They weren't amused to say the least. Now. I view their mask wearing as a public service announcement to keep away from them. It shows they are mentally ill and a cult member. Probably shedding all kinds of illnesses too.
81% of Americans lined up for the Kool-Aid injections. I don't want them shedding on me. If that means they have to be forced to wear N95 masks when around unvaccinated folk then I'm fine with that.
I was aware of the mask charade years prior to 2020. Colorado was the first state to require the flu shot for all healthcare workers. It was a graduated law, meaning they couldn’t fire me in year one if I refused because only a certain percentage had to be vaccinated. Anyhow, I was the only one who refused in our long term care facility. I was required to wear a mask all during flu season. Residents and families would ask if I was sick and I would have to explain that as a healthy person I’m required to wear one. Everyone knew how ridiculous that logic was but the charge nurse who was overweight and a chain smoker, made sure that I, who was healthy, wore it at all times.
The whole maskerade has left me feeling abused. It's an ongoing psyop, ready to be used over and over again. All to hail in another miracle potion that will "save" humanity. The fact that the usual suspects are demanding them again shows that the cabal is not done with us yet. It breaks my heart to see people still falling for it.
My health is great, I haven't been to a GP myself for years. And - God willing - I really never want to go there again because even last year in October, when my partner went there (I accompanied him to the door), I saw the head GP walking outside with a mask on. I simply can never put any trust in this person ever again.
…. meanwhile such GPs continue to jab all and sundry, including children, turning people inti SP factories, continue to trot out “ safe and effective” … oh and get paid for continuing this utter blx - like you and for other highly personal irrefutuble reasons I do not have any faith, none, in GPs in general 😡
I forwarded that very article to my dad early in 2020. He lost his mind. Apparently, I was given to 'dogma.' Eh? It was quite an eye opener, especially when I returned fire with 'but, you always taught and encouraged us to think independently and ask questions.' He was not impressed. I can only think that my family feels ashamed by their behaviour(s), but that they will never admit that they were duped.
As a former nurse, I also know people in the OR or L& D wear masks to protect them from body fluid splashes, if that should happen, or if personnel happen to have a sneeze or a cough, the droplets don't go everywhere. I still see too many people wearing these masks especially in the grocery store here in Texas, especially the personal shopping people who deliver groceries to people's cars. It's all so bizarre. I wish I could go up to them and educate them but if they can't see the people around them are NOT wearing the useless masks and asking themselves why, they are simply fear addicted and need mental help.
Pre-2020 most every mask seen in a hospital was known as a "placebo mask." As in, they don't provide any protections from or for the natural world. Only worn for as a visual pacifier for visitors who were scared of getting sick when they went to a hospital.
Initially sold to the medical community for that reason, they had heard from patients and visitors that they feared getting sick by being around all of the coughing, sick patients in a health care facility, would see nurses and staff come out of rooms treating other patients who were sick and they feared cross-contamination infection.
So hospital staff were to wear masks in order to calm the fears of patients who were experiencing their own health care crisis, were fearful. Placebos masks. Ostensibly to calm the fears of people who didn't understand microbiology, making them incapable of rendering an informed risk assessment.
Yes, reinfection was a thing. From touching, handling items that had bacteria and other microbiology spread by touch, spittle in close proximity. But not by breathing. And medical professionals knew this fact.
Today, they don't teach the science of microbiology. They teach pseudoscience inspired by microbiology. And pseudoscience spun placebo masks, as deemed by health care professionals, into a mythological protective barrier in the minds of the convinced. Aka, the delusional. Delusions intentionally implanted by the behavioral science mind-farkerers who work as epidemiologists, trained to manage perceptions with psychological cues, visuals, linguistics, appeals and disguises to modify the behaviors of a target audience. Believing they are mitigating health risks.
Placebos. That's all masks are, all they ever were, all they ever will be. Fake efficacy for stupid people. Including smart people induced into stupidity by skilled hypnotists. Mask-wearers are the visible damage, casualties of this ongoing world war being fought in an Information Age where psychological special operators are the warriors on the battlefield for our minds. Casualties of kinetic wars lose limbs, visible. Casualties in this war lose their freakin' minds and ability to reason.
I just had my 69th birthday, and NEVER EVER all my life did we wear a mask during “Flu season”. I volunteer at our local children’s hospital in a non-patient area (gift shop) and refuse to get the flu shot so they require that if I want to volunteer I have to wear a mask. I refuse to wear one so I cannot be there from November to whatever date in April, when the OVERLORDS determine that the flu is officially over. What a crock of absolute shit! In 2021 we went to Hawaii to meet my two half sisters for the first time, and we wore our masks on the plane that said, “This mask is as useless as Joe Biden”🤣
However, they allow visitors in all the time in delicate areas like the oncology clinic and never asked them for their vaccine status nor require them to wear a mask.
It is all quite bonkers. I refused to wear a mask throughout the Covid nonsense evern when idiots in the NHS insisted I must to get my immunotherapy treatment. I got my way eventually but would have been better not to have had the treatments.
As for Joe Biden this might amuse. I did quite a few articles on him as it was quite fun.
Mid-scamdemic, I wrote a very detailed and sarcastic rant about how I invented the Microbial Aerosol Saturator for Komrades (MASK) as my solution to the following thought experiment:
As a normal, healthy human being going about my daily routine, if I wanted to MAXIMIZE my exposure to a respiratory virus, how would I do it?
There are only a few parameters, for instance:
1) No exaggerated abnormal behaviors would be allowed (no purposely jumping face-first in front of sneezes, no licking surfaces or random people, no exaggerated close-talking right into unfamiliar human faces, no collecting snot/spit samples from strangers. You get the point. Normal daily activities and routines with some minimum sense of manners.
2) No specialized and/or expensive or elaborate equipment allowed. You can’t go buy or build a giant battery-powered vacuum on wheels to take with you everywhere you go. Your solution must consist of everyday available household materials.
I laid out all of the scientific reasons (pore size, nostril size, face area, temperature, cost, availability, etc., etc.) why wearing a warm, moist, fibrous rag on your face might be the best, most economical way to maximize your exposure to an aerosol virus.
When I saw your article, I re-read my rant. I still get the same solution... How would you do it?
They seem to have settled on "covid is aerosolised" after it initially being spread on surfaces then it by droplets. As far as I can tell this fact was pulled from someones arse and not based in any real evidence, just repetition.
I read your rant, and it perfectly describes what was going on at that time. It brought back vivid memories of how awful and ridiculous all the rules were, and how much I HATED those stupid masks. One thing you said, about how it was all to “get Donald Trump”, and here we are in 2025, the same lying leftists are still determined to “get Trump”. It’s déjà vu all over again.
I loved your P.S. about the creativity of LSU football fans, after tailgating was banned, to schedule “peaceful protests” that were coincidentally on game days. Did those protests include barbecue and corn hole? I don’t remember tailgating being banned at Texas Tech, but maybe it was. I’m not rich enough to donate enough to get a good parking space for the games, so I don’t tailgate any more.
Thanks for your comments. I wrote many rants during covid just mainly to keep my own sanity. I initially tried sending a few to my family (some of whom are 'academics') to warn them about what was happening and they were not well received. Even so, getting it all out of my head and 'on paper' was therapeutic.
I'm sure LSU fans were not the only ones peacefully protesting every Saturday in 2020. Fast forward 5 years and it is a great year to be a Texas Tech fan! Since I do not have a dog in the fight, I'm pulling for the Red Raiders! Guns Up!
Brilliant summary of the mask delusion. But why did our ‘experts’ lie about how important it was to wear masks?
Groupthink is a likely explanation for the lower level - city/county/state health officials, but not at the top. Fauci knew perfectly well he was saying the equivalent of 1 + 1 = 3. Why?
I think the most plausible reason by far was to create and sustain hysteria in order to create a demand for vaccines. Not just the plain old flu vaccines that are reformulated each year and don’t do much, the fear had to be great enough to demand mRNA science fair from hell vaccines in name only.
There is a faith in ‘vaccines’ that can only be understood in terms of born again tent revival evangelism. It is everyone’s duty to be vaccinated, no rational thought is allowed, and criticism is betrayal.
This goes far beyond big Pharma money, which is necessary but not sufficient to make very intelligent psychopaths like Fauci and many others to speak gibberish.
There are various reasons. It was always a test of humanity, who would they serve. It was also designed to have a worldwide mass vaccination programme to prove once and for all that vaccines can never work for good health.
Well, what do you do when decades of evidence says that masks don’t work but you want to show that they do? Simple, reset the evidence base by changing the language on how respiratory viruses are spread. Let’s see how that works? https://open.substack.com/pub/valerienelson/p/moving-the-goal-posts-on-masks?
I found it quite incredible that decades worth of evidence based pandemic planning was abandoned in panic, in favour of tyranical measures, and then the science proved that somehow our ruling class had managed to get it right in those moments of panic. More right than all the scientists and health officials that had come up with pandemic planning without the pressure years before.
Joel, you've compiled and presented an extensive list of hard, natural scientific studies and evidence about how and why masks don't work as advertised. Compiled, shared and presented by many other truth-speakers since the first days of the plandemic. Incontrovertible facts, gold-standard evidence, the case of evidence against the natural science efficacy of masks is overwhelming, "the science has spoken" and debate over natural science efficacy of masks "is over."
Yet, they persist. Authorities and those who've been persuaded and convinced of their efficacy continue to wear them and demand others wear them in the venues they control. Like nursing homes, hospitals, schools, wherever they see the general public will tolerate them. And many need no demands, they are intractable in their beliefs, getting them to take off their masks will be resisted as strongly as a devout Catholic would take off the cross they wear around their neck. Masks have taken on the religious fervor and power of religious talisman in their minds. Casualties of the ongoing Mind War for control of humanity.
But the most important aspect of the Mind War battlefront over masking that most of my friends, allies on the subject overlook in their presentation of facts is the linguistic deceit inside the term "science." All science isn't created equal. Some science, what most people understand science to mean, is rooted in the natural world. Hard sciences like chemistry, engineering, physics, biology, etc. The same input will result in the same output exactly 100% of the time. Replicable no matter who is studying, using it. As long as the methodology and inputs are exactly the same the results will be exactly the same.
But some science, what those who deign to control others use is soft, social science. Heavily influenced by understandings of human emotion, psychology, philosophy. Inexact sciences, pseudosciences. A type of science that will produce the same results a majority of the time based on percentages of a population that will react, respond in a predictable manner based on the linguistic/symbolic appeals they are subjected to. Maybe even getting the desired results 80-90% of the time if the psychological implement is highly effective input. But soft, social sciences are incapable of producing 100% exact results. Is why they are known as pseudoscience.
And the special operators in the Mind War, the epidemiologists trained in Behavioural Science (aka BS), cleverly hide their claimed efficacy of masking in the strategic ambiguity of the word, "science."
Which is why in order to prevail in this war for the public mind the battle against masks must shift to the linguistic front. Those claiming efficacy, a scientific basis for masking are able to repeat the mantra "The Science proves masks work" while those of us who know better say "the science proves masks don't work, here's the actual hard evidence using actual science, they are wrong" and get no traction. The debate over whose "science" is right defaults into who you trust more. And like it or not, the larger public has been sufficiently indoctrinated to believe they work 'enough' to mask, either at the behest of authorities in certain venues they control, or of their own volition, convinced by propaganda campaign they've been subjected to.
The debate must shift to the *type* of science that mask efficacy is presented as. The ambiguity of the term must be challenged, called out, properly named. Proponents of masking who know better, the epidemiologists who chose masking as a Nonpharmaceutical Intervention (NPI) understand that any power masks may have is symbolic.
And as opposed to masking in a health care facility as a placebo ostensibly to calm the nerves of those who don't understand microbiological threats, spread and fear going to hospitals with potentially infectious sick people, masking in the general public was 'prescribed' to 'cure' what BS'ers term "Optimism Bias." A belief that most people held they weren't likely to get sick from air filled with invisible dangers (which was correct). The cure for "optimism" was "fear." BS'ers have a term for that NPI, called "Fear Amplification." Scare the begeesus out of people so they don't interact with one another. Psychological "reminders" that death lurks invisibly in the air. A non-BS term for "Fear Amplification" used by non-BS'ers is "terrorize." The Rx of social and behavioural science-trained epidemiologists is terrorism. "Fear Amplification."
THAT is the the scientific efficacy of masks. If so desired by readers I'll be happy to put links to the REAL science behind masks for all I assert in this comment in a comment below, just lmk. And until the *type* of science supporting masking is fought against, opposed in public debates, the delusion of masking as efficacious will remain the operative many follow. The term "science" has been appropriated by practitioners of pseudoscientists. Hiding in the ambiguity of the word. The *type* of science must be exposed, countered, attacked on the battlefield for the public mind. Largely unaware that all science isn't exact and incontrovertible like chemistry or physics. Authorities wield pseudosciences to gain compliance across a broad spectrum of public policies. Note: Pseudosciences are very easy to spot. They defy common sense. We were not born with masks, unnecessary for all of human existence, coexistence with the natural world our bodies are perfectly suited to meet. That didn't suddenly change in 2020 when man learned how to 'perfect' our immune systems, with paper barriers.
I went to the supermarket yesterday -- an old withered hag was poking around the organic section as I was selecting some nuts... she was wearing the Cadillac N95 mask...
It's the young, bearded folks with cloth masks that really make me cringe in the grocery store.
Do you remember the story of the man - a doctor, I think - who encountered an elderly woman in a small space? She had a mask on and looked fearful. He gently removed her mask and gave her a hug and she burst into tears. She hadn't been close to anyone in a long time.
I see many elderly folks staggering around with masks on in my blue state now and I get so mad that this is still happening. They watch too much TV: "COVID has been found in the sewage!!" Some members of my family sport the Cadillac (love that!) and at my mother's nursing home workers are required to mask. I do not and am always glad to see the masks on chins...they get an even bigger smile from me! But they just installed cameras in the hallways!
This great summary is a timely reminder of the real science on masks and much appreciated.
I did this also, the poor lady cried so hard as me and my husband just held her and talked to her...for many minutes until she soaked up enough feelings to carry on. We advised her to ditch her mask and get an exemption, we all carried fake ones to stop the bullying as much as we could. Not all bullying stopped and we were banned soem places and refused checkout at a small store even though we had been shopping for 30 mins, the Security also tried to ban us in the hospital when my husband was having a heart "event" ( long time heart patient) until I got extremely loud and accused the supervisor of trying to intentionally kill him by refusing entry to the hospital while he was having a suspected heart attack.
In my spare time ... I pull up the contacts for university professors in schools of medicine... then I send them this .... just to mock them... try it - it's so much fun!!!!
They never reply hahaha:
UKHSA argued that releasing figures would lead to ‘distress’ of bereaved relatives if connection were discovered
The public health watchdog has been accused of a “cover-up” after refusing to publish data that could link the Covid vaccine to excess deaths.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) argued that releasing the data would lead to the “distress or anger” of bereaved relatives if a link were to be discovered.
Public health officials also argued that publishing the data risked damaging the well-being and mental health of the families and friends of people who died.
But then the media got orders from their overlords to shut up about any possible means of masks failing to provide absolute protection against respiratory viruses, and we never heard another word about how big bushy beards make masks (more) useless (than they already are).
Most people are now ultra-processed too. Strangely the author of 'Ultra-Processed People' (2023), Dr. Chris van Tulleken, thinks that food safety regulation is lax, especially in the USA, but drug safety regulation is very thorough.
“, but drug safety regulation is very thorough.” …….. at best that statement cannot be universally applied given that the US childhood jab programme has no long term safety data and drug trials in the US have been/are riddled with serious malpractices -as “Turtles ….” describes in great detail.
“Every mask you strap on is a small act of submission to a lie. It’s a visible declaration that you’d rather conform than think, rather obey than question, rather feel safe than actually be informed. The germaphobes aren’t counting on the science - they’re counting on your compliance. Stop giving it to them.”
There used to be a shirt that said 'I'm with Stupid' and an arrow pointing left or right. When I see a masked person, I imagine that shirt with the arrow pointed towards themselves.
Our (N.I) NHS is telling people to wear them and our main paper led with the Superflu crisis in the NHS ....for the 15th year in a row.

When returning, I ditched it.

The clearest rebuttal of the mask nonsense that I've seen. Thanks for the great work that you do.
Mid-scamdemic, I wrote a very detailed and sarcastic rant about how I invented the Microbial Aerosol Saturator for Komrades (MASK) as my solution to the following thought experiment:

There are only a few parameters, for instance:

2) No specialized and/or expensive or elaborate equipment allowed. You can’t go buy or build a giant battery-powered vacuum on wheels to take with you everywhere you go. Your solution must consist of everyday available household materials.
I laid out all of the scientific reasons (pore size, nostril size, face area, temperature, cost, availability, etc., etc.) why wearing a warm, moist, fibrous rag on your face might be the best, most economical way to maximize your exposure to an aerosol virus.
When I saw your article, I re-read my rant. I still get the same solution... How would you do it?

I read your rant, and it perfectly describes what was going on at that time. It brought back vivid memories of how awful and ridiculous all the rules were, and how much I HATED those stupid masks. One thing you said, about how it was all to “get Donald Trump”, and here we are in 2025, the same lying leftists are still determined to “get Trump”. It’s déjà vu all over again.
I loved your P.S. about the creativity of LSU football fans, after tailgating was banned, to schedule “peaceful protests” that were coincidentally on game days. Did those protests include barbecue and corn hole? I don’t remember tailgating being banned at Texas Tech, but maybe it was. I’m not rich enough to donate enough to get a good parking space for the games, so I don’t tailgate any more.
Thanks for your comments. I wrote many rants during covid just mainly to keep my own sanity. I initially tried sending a few to my family (some of whom are 'academics') to warn them about what was happening and they were not well received. Even so, getting it all out of my head and 'on paper' was therapeutic.
I'm sure LSU fans were not the only ones peacefully protesting every Saturday in 2020. Fast forward 5 years and it is a great year to be a Texas Tech fan! Since I do not have a dog in the fight, I'm pulling for the Red Raiders! Guns Up!
Brilliant summary of the mask delusion. But why did our ‘experts’ lie about how important it was to wear masks?
Groupthink is a likely explanation for the lower level - city/county/state health officials, but not at the top. Fauci knew perfectly well he was saying the equivalent of 1 + 1 = 3. Why?
I think the most plausible reason by far was to create and sustain hysteria in order to create a demand for vaccines. Not just the plain old flu vaccines that are reformulated each year and don’t do much, the fear had to be great enough to demand mRNA science fair from hell vaccines in name only.
There is a faith in ‘vaccines’ that can only be understood in terms of born again tent revival evangelism. It is everyone’s duty to be vaccinated, no rational thought is allowed, and criticism is betrayal.
This goes far beyond big Pharma money, which is necessary but not sufficient to make very intelligent psychopaths like Fauci and many others to speak gibberish.
There are various reasons. It was always a test of humanity, who would they serve. It was also designed to have a worldwide mass vaccination programme to prove once and for all that vaccines can never work for good health.

Well, what do you do when decades of evidence says that masks don’t work but you want to show that they do? Simple, reset the evidence base by changing the language on how respiratory viruses are spread. Let’s see how that works? https://open.substack.com/pub/valerienelson/p/moving-the-goal-posts-on-masks?
I found it quite incredible that decades worth of evidence based pandemic planning was abandoned in panic, in favour of tyranical measures, and then the science proved that somehow our ruling class had managed to get it right in those moments of panic. More right than all the scientists and health officials that had come up with pandemic planning without the pressure years before.
Yep, talking head Cowling said masks worked but could provide no evidence. https://jowaller.substack.com/p/how-talking-heads-made-masks-appear
Joel, you've compiled and presented an extensive list of hard, natural scientific studies and evidence about how and why masks don't work as advertised. Compiled, shared and presented by many other truth-speakers since the first days of the plandemic. Incontrovertible facts, gold-standard evidence, the case of evidence against the natural science efficacy of masks is overwhelming, "the science has spoken" and debate over natural science efficacy of masks "is over."
Yet, they persist. Authorities and those who've been persuaded and convinced of their efficacy continue to wear them and demand others wear them in the venues they control. Like nursing homes, hospitals, schools, wherever they see the general public will tolerate them. And many need no demands, they are intractable in their beliefs, getting them to take off their masks will be resisted as strongly as a devout Catholic would take off the cross they wear around their neck. Masks have taken on the religious fervor and power of religious talisman in their minds. Casualties of the ongoing Mind War for control of humanity.
But the most important aspect of the Mind War battlefront over masking that most of my friends, allies on the subject overlook in their presentation of facts is the linguistic deceit inside the term "science." All science isn't created equal. Some science, what most people understand science to mean, is rooted in the natural world. Hard sciences like chemistry, engineering, physics, biology, etc. The same input will result in the same output exactly 100% of the time. Replicable no matter who is studying, using it. As long as the methodology and inputs are exactly the same the results will be exactly the same.
But some science, what those who deign to control others use is soft, social science. Heavily influenced by understandings of human emotion, psychology, philosophy. Inexact sciences, pseudosciences. A type of science that will produce the same results a majority of the time based on percentages of a population that will react, respond in a predictable manner based on the linguistic/symbolic appeals they are subjected to. Maybe even getting the desired results 80-90% of the time if the psychological implement is highly effective input. But soft, social sciences are incapable of producing 100% exact results. Is why they are known as pseudoscience.
And the special operators in the Mind War, the epidemiologists trained in Behavioural Science (aka BS), cleverly hide their claimed efficacy of masking in the strategic ambiguity of the word, "science."
Which is why in order to prevail in this war for the public mind the battle against masks must shift to the linguistic front. Those claiming efficacy, a scientific basis for masking are able to repeat the mantra "The Science proves masks work" while those of us who know better say "the science proves masks don't work, here's the actual hard evidence using actual science, they are wrong" and get no traction. The debate over whose "science" is right defaults into who you trust more. And like it or not, the larger public has been sufficiently indoctrinated to believe they work 'enough' to mask, either at the behest of authorities in certain venues they control, or of their own volition, convinced by propaganda campaign they've been subjected to.
The debate must shift to the *type* of science that mask efficacy is presented as. The ambiguity of the term must be challenged, called out, properly named. Proponents of masking who know better, the epidemiologists who chose masking as a Nonpharmaceutical Intervention (NPI) understand that any power masks may have is symbolic.
And as opposed to masking in a health care facility as a placebo ostensibly to calm the nerves of those who don't understand microbiological threats, spread and fear going to hospitals with potentially infectious sick people, masking in the general public was 'prescribed' to 'cure' what BS'ers term "Optimism Bias." A belief that most people held they weren't likely to get sick from air filled with invisible dangers (which was correct). The cure for "optimism" was "fear." BS'ers have a term for that NPI, called "Fear Amplification." Scare the begeesus out of people so they don't interact with one another. Psychological "reminders" that death lurks invisibly in the air. A non-BS term for "Fear Amplification" used by non-BS'ers is "terrorize." The Rx of social and behavioural science-trained epidemiologists is terrorism. "Fear Amplification."
THAT is the the scientific efficacy of masks. If so desired by readers I'll be happy to put links to the REAL science behind masks for all I assert in this comment in a comment below, just lmk. And until the *type* of science supporting masking is fought against, opposed in public debates, the delusion of masking as efficacious will remain the operative many follow. The term "science" has been appropriated by practitioners of pseudoscientists. Hiding in the ambiguity of the word. The *type* of science must be exposed, countered, attacked on the battlefield for the public mind. Largely unaware that all science isn't exact and incontrovertible like chemistry or physics. Authorities wield pseudosciences to gain compliance across a broad spectrum of public policies. Note: Pseudosciences are very easy to spot. They defy common sense. We were not born with masks, unnecessary for all of human existence, coexistence with the natural world our bodies are perfectly suited to meet. That didn't suddenly change in 2020 when man learned how to 'perfect' our immune systems, with paper barriers.
The Swiss study also concluded no benefit??
Excellent article. Thank you Joel
I went to the supermarket yesterday -- an old withered hag was poking around the organic section as I was selecting some nuts... she was wearing the Cadillac N95 mask...
I wanted to punch her in the face
It's the young, bearded folks with cloth masks that really make me cringe in the grocery store.
Do you remember the story of the man - a doctor, I think - who encountered an elderly woman in a small space? She had a mask on and looked fearful. He gently removed her mask and gave her a hug and she burst into tears. She hadn't been close to anyone in a long time.
I see many elderly folks staggering around with masks on in my blue state now and I get so mad that this is still happening. They watch too much TV: "COVID has been found in the sewage!!" Some members of my family sport the Cadillac (love that!) and at my mother's nursing home workers are required to mask. I do not and am always glad to see the masks on chins...they get an even bigger smile from me! But they just installed cameras in the hallways!
This great summary is a timely reminder of the real science on masks and much appreciated.
I did this also, the poor lady cried so hard as me and my husband just held her and talked to her...for many minutes until she soaked up enough feelings to carry on. We advised her to ditch her mask and get an exemption, we all carried fake ones to stop the bullying as much as we could. Not all bullying stopped and we were banned soem places and refused checkout at a small store even though we had been shopping for 30 mins, the Security also tried to ban us in the hospital when my husband was having a heart "event" ( long time heart patient) until I got extremely loud and accused the supervisor of trying to intentionally kill him by refusing entry to the hospital while he was having a suspected heart attack.
In my spare time ... I pull up the contacts for university professors in schools of medicine... then I send them this .... just to mock them... try it - it's so much fun!!!!
They never reply hahaha:
UKHSA argued that releasing figures would lead to ‘distress’ of bereaved relatives if connection were discovered
The public health watchdog has been accused of a “cover-up” after refusing to publish data that could link the Covid vaccine to excess deaths.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) argued that releasing the data would lead to the “distress or anger” of bereaved relatives if a link were to be discovered.
Public health officials also argued that publishing the data risked damaging the well-being and mental health of the families and friends of people who died.

Make sure to get the latest booster!!!
Don't worry, we might have killed your relative, but it's fine as long as we don't admit it.
I remember when a few people started wearing masks, the talking heads on TV would show the CDC graphic about facial hair and masking. (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/media/pdfs/2024/12/NPPTL_INFO_FacialHairstylesandFFRs_2017.pdf)
But then the media got orders from their overlords to shut up about any possible means of masks failing to provide absolute protection against respiratory viruses, and we never heard another word about how big bushy beards make masks (more) useless (than they already are).
This graphic is great! I might have to carry a copy for use while grocery shopping at mu local Trader Joe's...
Yeah. The irony. She won't buy gmo products and items with chemicals etc. But she's pumped herself full of them and is now a gmo human. 🤔😉
Most people are now ultra-processed too. Strangely the author of 'Ultra-Processed People' (2023), Dr. Chris van Tulleken, thinks that food safety regulation is lax, especially in the USA, but drug safety regulation is very thorough.
“, but drug safety regulation is very thorough.” …….. at best that statement cannot be universally applied given that the US childhood jab programme has no long term safety data and drug trials in the US have been/are riddled with serious malpractices -as “Turtles ….” describes in great detail.
“Every mask you strap on is a small act of submission to a lie. It’s a visible declaration that you’d rather conform than think, rather obey than question, rather feel safe than actually be informed. The germaphobes aren’t counting on the science - they’re counting on your compliance. Stop giving it to them.”
This all day!
There used to be a shirt that said 'I'm with Stupid' and an arrow pointing left or right. When I see a masked person, I imagine that shirt with the arrow pointed towards themselves.
