Masks, masks, masks! I’m so sick of masks

One would think that now that Fauci’s emails have been released and revealed that he knew and told those close to him that masks did nothing to prevent COVID that everyone would stop wearing them. But no. The mask Nazis are alive and well, giving the evil eye to anyone they see without one, even if riding their bike alone in the fresh air. Despite the CDC’s advisory many months ago that they are no longer necessary outside (they never were), the mask-dependent cannot give up their masks. What’s interesting is that it’s leftist Democrats who are the face-covered mask police and conservatives who are done with them.
What can possibly explain this weird left/right disparity? Let’s see…. Could it be that leftists love big government and willingly submit to its control over every aspect of their lives? Conservatives, on the other hand, revere the Constitution, with its guaranteed freedoms and reverence for individual liberty. Leftists willingly embrace the easy compliance that leads to servitude, conservatives resist submission to the state.
Throughout this pandemic, those in charge always claimed to follow the science. In reality, the lefty tyrants who want to control us all preferred scientism, an exaggerated trust in the efficacy of the methods of natural
science applied to all areas of investigation (as in philosophy, the social
sciences, and the humanities).
Scientism is just another -ism, like racism, extremism, and sexism. It means whatever the person using the term wants it to mean and those definitions can vary widely depending on who is using them and who they mean to indict.
We’ve learned from Fauci’s and many (not all) of his correspondents’ emails that they have embraced scientism and abandoned the scientific method. They’ve played with viruses like kids play with chemistry sets – without regard for consequences. As for masks, there was
never any science that dictated they be mandated. On the contrary, there are
countless studies that prove their ineffectiveness. Fauci
said as much early on in 2020 and said it often to his email pals.
Ted Rall, a hard leftist, nevertheless wrote a good column about the
“Fear of an Unmasked Nation” in which he notes that, as of June 2020, 86% of Democrats wore face masks whenever they left their homes compared to only 46% of Republicans! Far too many people are still afraid to go maskless, even when by themselves outdoors, even when shown the studies that pronounce them useless.
It is Democrats who have rushed to be vaccinated after vowing not to when Trump brought the vaccines to market. Curiously, it is these
vaxxed Dems who continue to wear masks and insist that everyone around them do so as well. Clearly, they are not completely confident that the vaccines work. They are still fearful, possibly for good reason because the jabs are experimental and untested.
As for the unvaccinated, they theoretically propose no danger to the vaccinated and, as other studies have shown,
cannot spread COVID if asymptomatic. The vaccine-resistant may have the last laugh. “
Breakthrough cases,” those among the fully vaccinated, are rising.
Ted Rall closes his column by noting that the masks are not a medical imperative but pure virtue signaling, a fashion accessory like the red ribbons all those celebrities wear when on camera. Perhaps wearers are just demonstrating that they are anti-Trump. That
annoying little twerp David Hogg confessed that he only wears a mask for that reason.
Nevertheless, the execrable, soon-to-be-recalled Governor Newsom of California has said that students returning to public schools in the fall must wear masks! Unless he rescinds this ridiculous order, chances are there will be thousands of parents who take up homeschooling or leave the state. For young kids to be forced to wear masks for an entire school day is beyond stupid,
it is dangerous. They are
neither effective nor safe.
say it, it was their idea all along.
