MASKS: No mandate wanted

Did you know masks don’t prevent the spread of any viruses? It’s time to use common sense and logic, people!

The box of surgical masks even warns you with this disclaimer:

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A RESPIRATOR and WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY PROTECTION AGAINST COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) or OTHER VIRUSES OR CONTAMINANTS.

Corrupt politicians and their so-called medical “experts” are strictly talking heads paid by corrupt special interest corporations to keep us uninformed and afraid. Why? To control us.

If you still think masking up will protect you, then by all means wer a mask. But keep your uninformed mouth shut if I choose not to. And do not expect the rest of us to ever accept a mak mandate! We will fight it and we will win!

EDITOR’S NOTE: Here’s a brief excerpt of what the Mayo Clinic says about face masks.

Can face masks help slow the spread of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19? Yes, face masks combined with other preventive measures, such as frequent hand-washing and social distancing, help slow the spread of the virus.

So why weren’t face masks recommended at the start of the pandemic? At that time, experts didn’t know the extent to which people with COVID-19 could spread the virus before symptoms appeared. Nor was it known that some people have COVID-19 but don’t have any symptoms. Both groups can unknowingly spread the virus to others.

These discoveries led public health groups to do an about-face on face masks. The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now include face masks in their recommendations for slowing the spread of the virus. The CDC recommends cloth face masks for the public and not the surgical and N95 masks needed by health care providers.
