I'll offer up what upsets me. I was in church yesterday and the rector's mask did not match Ash Wednesday vestments!!!!! (She had supposedly been exposed to covid, ho hum.)
It doesn't matter, though. The ladies of leisure of both sexes will still adamantly insist on their utility and, perhaps more importantly, their nobility:
The Covidian status panic in the NY Times comments was wild. They took that op-ed as a personal attack. It's kind of sad, though I can't manage a grain of pity for them. They've achieved nothing but a social grotesquerie with their performance.
I (mainly) agree with you at this point. There are some merely naive simpletons out there who think they are being kind (or something). But many, if not most, of them are now merely the grownup version of Antifa. They hate normal, especially white, working- and middle-class Americans, and want to tear them down and blow things up, even if they couldn't bring themselves to admit this. The mask is a kind of symbol of attachment to this ethos.
But they still want someone to serve them a latte and a beignet.
About 10 yrs ago had a lengthy convo with a friend about masks and what they can and cant do (something was being fear porned and he wanted some tips on things if whatever became real). With that in mind, I was utterly floored come spring 2020 when suddenly what was long established and almost universally agreed upon suddenly was up for debate
Yea Im thinking it was either that or swine flu, and all the media coverage of masked people in E Asia prob brought it up. But whatever the case, unlike back then, nobody believed me this time. Oh well. I tried
I remember Hank Green on Twitter pivoting from, early on, scolding people for wearing masks (remember when there was a “shortage” of PPE), to excoriating people for not masking up. So sciency!
I got a hold of a mask exemption card. Basically it was a homemade card with actual ADA information about my safety rights and the penalties for violating the. Just about every place I went into was agreeable - but an irate customer in a local coffee shop did a Google search and discovered they were not authorized. She contacted the shop owner threatening to go on Yelp and report her for letting me in barefaced. At this point I discovered the dark side of the CoVidiot mind.
I think I was the first person in my supermarket to wear a mask in January 2020. But...I learned! Why can't these people? Because they are sheep. 🤦🏻♀️
These look like the free cheap masks usually supplied by businesses and elsewhere to people looking for natural immunity from a genetically-engineered gain-of-function lab-leaked virus. Sigh.
I belong to a local large antiques mall, the owners, who are, BTW, Republican, were appalled at high numbers of people they had to supply masks too. All the people on staff, BTW, including owners, are over the age of 60s. Seems counter shields protected all from covid. No casualties were reported. Our small town, though a tourist town, did not get hit as hard as other parts of the county. We also have a very high % of seniors.
I was assaulted by a woman and her husband at outdoor restaurant. I sat on periphery with a childhood friend I had not seen in 10 years. It was my first cafe outing in 14 months, as I had surgeries in 2019. It was 8/2020. When food came, I lifted my shield, pulled down my mask. They veered out of their wait to visit me, she stuck her face 6 inches from my face while her husband laughing. She, laughing, screaming, and spraying in my face, says, "you are not wearing a mask, ha, ha, ha, you are not wearing a mask..."
I never took this that serious, do not watch MSM. I was more wrapped in riot crisis. I went into shock. I was forced into quarantee and had to send my at risk friend back to Reno where she lived and cut our visit and work. In 2010, I was 8 days in hospital near death with Swinne Flu. It left me with emphysema and enlarged ventricle. While in quarantine, I looked up other videos of people who were assaulting people in this same way.
I also listened to too many bogus claims about masks. Dr Judy comes to mind. I have been on C-PAP for a decade. I had several surgeries 2018-19. If the claims about masks were true, then C-PAP should make me sick. Common sense. In these 5 yrs, I have no got sick once, I wear mask and shield when out. I take 5K IU Vit d3 2x most days. All my health indicators are very good but the damages done by Swine, and sleep apnea that is caused by deformity.
My point is, that unhinged people like this woman, who were apparently many from the very first, did more to sell masks, vax, lockdowns and mandates than any other group. Does this mean I am a Fauci fan girl or agreed with how our leaders dealt with the uncertainty? Absolutely not. I condemned Fauci since the 80s, why would I stop?
What Fauci did to Dr Duesberg is unforgivable. I wish someone could get an interview with him. COVID was real, HIV=AIDS was fake, all based on a hypothesis never proven. Gallo is still alive last I looked, notice not a peep. There has been efforts to compare HIV with Covid, with little luck, that is because most people with any common sense sort of know it is false. The makers of AZT, and much of the HIV experiments done under Fauci's watch should be in jail. But, I do not come up with the same conclusions about covid all these polarizing reactionary voices are hallucinating. I never supported vax mandates, but understood masks, but thought that should be more a local decision, or even per business. There is reason doctor offices and hospitals require all to wear masks. If people had to buy their own n95 or equivelent masks, they would not be tossing the cheap ones. Those cheap ones, come to find out, blew off easily. Also, might as well just get a good scarf!
What do you mean masks didn't work? They worked exactly as they were supposed to. Without everyone prancing around in a mask or, better yet, wearing it under their chin or dangling from one ear no one would have known there was a deadly "pandemic". LOL
What pissed me off the most was there were over 30 years of studies that proved that masks don't work in preventing illness and, in fact, caused illness and post op infections. Many surgeons no longer wear masks because of those previous studies done long before COVID. Those earlier studies actually concluded masks were harmful to a surgeon's mental acuity during surgery due to decreased O2 levels. So, I call shenanigans that they didn't know masks were useless and harmful. They surely don't need to waste more time and money on more insipid mask studies. We need to start saying "I told you so" and shame our "leaders" to put them in their place.
Because of my O2 issues and CPAP, when i go to doctor, i am required to wear a mask like everyone else. Even my nurse practitioner, with best efforts, got covid from her daughter who works several restaurants. after long wait in office, i went into my room. a woman took O2 test due to my lung issues, while i was wearing my mask, which, TBH, for me, at times is a bit of a struggle due to my condition, my O2 measured 99%. Over the years I have taken numerous supplements. I OD on D3, NAC, Glutathione, and ALA, among other things. Doctors marvel that my lungs in xrays show clear most times. Please, tell me why I wear a N95 with emphysema and get 95-99% readings? Also, you are not being honest if you do not discuss that there are different masks and shields. I use both. I found a most excellent shield, though you can get some very expensive ones that are even more deluxe. Why did i take this seriously? Because Swine in 2010 literally nearly killed me, 8 days in hell fighting for my life, given everything they could think of. left me with enlarged ventricle and emphysema. before that, i was, according to physical, in perfect exemplary health.
8 hours a night with C PAP, and masks and shields while I am out, has not once given me any infection. I ahve not even had a cold in five years. worse, much worse. OMG, I never clean my C PAP mask, even with all the instructions to do so. OMG. I should be dead.
I own two oxygen meters. I am so neurotic to take it sometimes more than a few times a day, though lately now, only once, or a few times a week. Why does it sound like you think there is only one kind of mask, and one form of protection? according to you, you think i should cancel my cataract surgery because the doctor wears a mask. I did not find he was having any cognitive issues while he spent an hour with me with testing. amazing man in his 60s.
Not to be judging anyone but the study that the ultimate right wing writer cited was totally flawed and there were, even at the end of yhe study they said it was inconclusive.
On a personal experience note...I wore high quality masks and respirators all day for years as a painter sanding dry wall and spraying toxic preservatives,paints all kinds etc . If I hadn't I would have died early. I'll leave it there.
Your broad claim that "masks don't work" is rather childish. It's not only bad English but meant to provoke a certain response and that's manipulative. P100 filters work not only on particulates but organic vapors. N95s will REDUCE the particulates of COVID due to their effectiveness in catching vapor droplets which carry virus. It doesn't eliminate all risk. Of course none of this matters because Sloppy Joe did the bidding of his masters declaring it over, which even Socialists disagree with as it still is a global problem. Keep the bees working til they drop.
I'll offer up what upsets me. I was in church yesterday and the rector's mask did not match Ash Wednesday vestments!!!!! (She had supposedly been exposed to covid, ho hum.)
I am triggered and offended!
My first giggle of the day! Many thanks!
Every single institution has been corrupted, even or especially the churches.
Second laugh of the day! (Referring to Church of Alcohol.)
They're onto the next thing: the demolition of society.
For that they need rage.
The rage is there, under layers and layers of lies.
Them saying a truth is symptomatic of them peeling layers off, seeking to set off the explosion.
It doesn't matter, though. The ladies of leisure of both sexes will still adamantly insist on their utility and, perhaps more importantly, their nobility:

Well said. But I don't see any awakening from the "woke."
Your comment made me think of this piece for some reason: https://americanmind.org/salvo/thats-not-happening-and-its-good-that-it-is/

Where I live, a libtard area of Chicago called Hyde Park, the Maskerade has INTENSIFIED. I DESPISE THESE PEOPLE!
They are truly despicable. Everything they do is done in bad faith and malice.

Thanks, Joel. I recall discussions about masks around the time of SARS but, as you state, it went from 0 to 60 in a hurry.
Yea Im thinking it was either that or swine flu, and all the media coverage of masked people in E Asia prob brought it up. But whatever the case, unlike back then, nobody believed me this time. Oh well. I tried
Well Mickster ! Pish-Posh For The NYTs ! They're just wonderful !
This makes me want to swear. So many times I got sassed about masks. And I used to work in a sterile environment!
Feel free to swear, Jaye!

I love "sciency" as an adjective!

I hear you! As someone who has always responsibility for my own health, I wore a mask at first. Like you, I quickly learned and changed my behavior.
How about our waterways full of millions of syringes and medical waste? MSM has been reporting on this for decades now, our waste.
Good point. And now we can add masks to the mess.
Majority of those syringes are from our high numbers of addicts, and health crisis US does not want to take any responsibility for.
These look like the free cheap masks usually supplied by businesses and elsewhere to people looking for natural immunity from a genetically-engineered gain-of-function lab-leaked virus. Sigh.

Thank you for sharing, Sandi.
Speaking of Fauci in the 80s, I'm interviewing Celia Farber again next week.
What Fauci did to Dr Duesberg is unforgivable. I wish someone could get an interview with him. COVID was real, HIV=AIDS was fake, all based on a hypothesis never proven.

And what is Tom Jefferson’s take on the vaccines?
Not to be judging anyone but the study that the ultimate right wing writer cited was totally flawed and there were, even at the end of yhe study they said it was inconclusive.
On a personal experience note...I wore high quality masks and respirators all day for years as a painter sanding dry wall and spraying toxic preservatives,paints all kinds etc . If I hadn't I would have died early. I'll leave it there.
It's very different to use masks for paint, etc. than for viruses.

Remember taking my wife to her appointment at the health provider, (is that an oxymoron or what!)
Had to put on a mask to get in. Outside all over the ground were the masks people tossed when they came out.
