Zeynep Tufekci and Jeremy Howard played a decisive role in shifting CDC guidance and ushering in mask mandates across America. Zeynep’s role in the COVID story goes far deeper than most realize.
These effin masks are the bane of humanity. I will never get over that part of the whole covid cult and it's numerous rituals. So much of what has gone on reminds me of words in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible when it often says things like, "Pray to your idols made of wood and stone and ask them to come and save you." The other thing I won't ever get over is how people who are *not* experts on anything medically related suddenly became experts overnight. Gates, Schwab, the corporate media, institutions of "higher learning", and thousands of other shills that we are now supposed to laud and worship as some kind of saints/gods of medicine... Yet the average guy/gal doing their own research and truly looking at the numbers and those who actually have experience with things like masks were not allowed to say one word. We were banned, censored and deleted from society as we watched our loved ones die behind plexiglass and watch our communities be divided and destroyed. I'll never let this go if I live one more day or 30 more years. We can NEVER let this kind of insanity happen again. If we do, we deserve what we get.
Yes. Insane. OK. Sure. I guess we can go with that; it's said a lot. "It's so insane!" And what can we do when something is insane? Why, we can forgive it because, well, we can all experience a bit of temporary insanity, right? And once that passes, all returns to "normal," right? Forgive and forget.
Well, I suggest that what we have all witnessed and endured are moral failings -- moral failings so deep as to be an ongoing threat if we fail to call them what they actually are -- and address them. In place of an abiding adherence to principles and the sanctity of basic human rights, we saw the vast majority indulge their inner coward, their inner bully, their vanity, their sanctimony. This conduct was not insane. It was the indulgence in long-recognized vices. 𝑰𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒍.
Even today when an article was recommended to me about precautions needed following the easing of COVID restrictions, I found a comment (probably one of many) blaming the unvaxxed and unmasked for lack of hospital beds owed to virtuous citizens of Canada who need them. This comment, a clear example of intellectual and moral failings of the majority of the populations in - likely - most countries in the world, shows us that we can no longer win this battle. Don't we live in a democracy, or rather idiocracy? What the tyrants want, our friends and neighbours will gladly do, and all remaining resisters will be dutifully reported to the saviour - the tyrannical state. It took decades to dumb down and demoralize these societies, but the progress has been steady and very successful. The pandemic leaves no doubt that more are planned, and that the tyrant knows just how easy the next stage in this war against us will be.
I could barely get into reading this without wanting to throw up. Bravo Rob D ⬆️ well said. They both must be prosecuted along w all the rest of the hoax perpetrators. I've never even heard of them but examples should be made of them and anyone else engaging in this type of subterfuge. Instead please inundate the public w FACTS of Spanish flu and consequent mask deaths.
These two fools are not in positions of authority, they're just social media influencers. NOBODY should have believed them.
The real criminals are all the corporate leaders, all the institutional leaders, all the media, all the politicians who jumped onto this populist bandwagon, for this was exactly populism: swaying public policy with fear narratives creating hysteria.
Yup. Paid to propagandize us from cute shoes to masks and kill shots to nukes and war. A lower order of human dregs bleating to the herd. Not as smart as the dogs that actually herd sheep. I turned them off years ago.
I was in my early 20s during 9/11, watching as even my most die hard "question everything" friends and allies were supporting the Iraq war (Iraq had, um, nothing to do with it). Quoting things about how all the freedoms taken were "cuz terrorism". And I realized back then that who people believe themselves to be and who they actually *are* are completely separate identities. In the words of Vonnegut (sigh), "and so it goes."
The useless masks were a tool of oppression. It was a mad rule to sort out who is compliant and who isn't. It is comparable to mad early rules against Jews in NAZI Germany. Full story:
Rob D said it so well, I don't have to. I have contemplated, several times, just "letting the mask B.S. go" and then, I get pissed all over again. Damn. Just damn.
100%. During my decade in biology at university, I studied biostatistics, virology, immunology, it was obvious from as far back as Jan-Feb 2020 that China was lying, and that we should follow established Pandemic Preparedness Plans.
I still don't understand how people's false fear can be so strong.
People are trained to trust the authority of the person, rather than the authority of the evidence.
We are controlled through language, because all language is functional. That’s why authority figures have to change the language before they can change minds. Repetition is extremely powerful.
The narrative…
Bad apples…
Terrorists…
Viruses are real…
Etc.
Beliefs are formed with emotions. It’s very difficult for most people to change their minds when presented with evidence once beLIEfs are formed. That’s why fear tactics are so effective.
Because people are social animals, aligning with the majority provides a sense of protection. Most people are averse to outliers because it’s disruptive to the idea of safety.
Religions are successful because they use they tactics. So do governments. There is very little difference between the two in practice.
As a black sheep and lone wolf my entire life, I have zero capacity to understand "beliefs", of any sort.
Yes, we are apes, we are groomed into mimicry by our parents, we have the longest grooming/infancy period of any living being, some individuals rebel after puberty, but not enough. We are week animals, coerced into conformity by the tribe, in order to assure longer survival.
It's all pretty sick IMO.
Homo sapiens is a messed up species, and will likely end up the last mammal on Earth.
I realise it looks like that superficially. But my leftist brethren, feminists, environmentalists, anti-capitalists have for all of my half-century plus existence, we've ALWAYS complained AGAINST corporations, institutions, and government, FOR freedom of speech. My frustration is mostly about my side losing their god-damned mind.
Religious forces have always been authoritarian, and in countries like Canada, NZ, Aus, Conservatives did absolutely nothing against this bs because conservative parties are by definition parties of "law & order".
1. Show fear of others: they are a potential threat to you
2. Create fear in others: you are a potential threat to them
3. Create psychological distancing
4. Dehumanization
5. Destroying individuality (our face makes us unique)
6. Massification (mass formation)
7. Reduce social interaction and communication
8. Induce social pressure towards the rebels and show massive compliance
9. Reinforce political and police authority
10. Increase acceptance of an unquestionable police state
Cloth civilian masks:
1. Increase contagion by keeping the virus active for a longer time due to moisture
2. Increase re-inoculation when infected by virus, bacteria or fungi
3. Reduce oxygen intake
4. Increase carbon dioxide intake
5. Increase bacterial and fungal colonies
6. Hospital masks were found to contain magnetic fibres with high melting point (graphene oxide?) and were sterilized with ethylene oxide (EO) classified by EPA as a human carcinogen in Dec 2016.1
“That kind of man (the idolater) feeds on ashes [and is satisfied with ashes]! A deceived mind has led him astray, so that he cannot save himself, or ask, “Is this thing [that I am holding] in my right hand not a lie?” Isaiah 44:20
You are spot on. Pure idolatry and deception. To call them clowns would insult the real clowns.
I am unable to wear one. Live in WA. Husband farmer. My career was destroyed. Couldn’t even go into stores. We bought a condo in Idaho so I could function. Husband visited on weekends for 2 years. Mortality demo WA & ID exactly the same. My fury runs deep for these 2. Deep.
Yes indeed. I found myself getting so angry at these people that I had to stop and remind myself that we are to bless those who persecute us and pray for those who despitefully use us.
Yes, by law, they are required to allow people to buy food, I have medical exemptions from two doctors, but most grocery stores simply stopped asking. I did however get "bumped into" by ijiotic people who had a covered face, virtue-signalling their hate to me. I've had Rando employees follow me in aisles offering a face veil. I've had rando customers capture me on their cell phone, I chased after them. I'm middle-aged and gray-haired, officials might have been more lax with me.
Well, Tracy, I can say we are experiencing the end times as Revelations starches us. The world government has already begun. Our so called trade agreements that has to do with us wil joins us together with Mexico and Canada to for a one block nation. In fact, none of these trade agreements are about trade. The USCMA treaty that Trump signed does just that. Today, we have less and less people who know what’s going on in government or who let our legislators know we are “watching” them! I would advise everyone to join The John Birch Society. I learned many years ago what was being planned for the world. So far, everything has come true! That was over 40 years ago that I learned the plan my these globalists. With this organization—JBS—you can actually gather with others of like mind who are fighting against this. Also, do not fall for any constitutional convention. It is a very dangerous move and we could lose our Constitution. Right now the COS led by Mark Meckler or Constitution of States are trying to sign up many of our states in order to have a convention. Let your Governor know you do NOT APPROVE! At the age of 80 I am probably not long for this world, but many of you and your children are going to be around unless Jesus comes first. God Bless you all.
Both of these 2 need to have a public beating on the Washington Mall. Then tried and convicted for their fraud and propaganda roles. EF both of them. 🤬🤬 No mercy!!!!!!
Exactly. We must stop these people so that this never ever ever happens again. This entire ScamDemic is a global elitists conspiracy to take over America and that’s why they had to get rid of Trump. Tony Fauci should hang.
Wow Michael, thx for the deep dive. I’ve never heard of these horrible people but they’re as bad or worse than Faux-Xi. This small seems to say more about the deeply corrupt Idiocracy in which we’re living - that a few uncredentialed & over-their-heads ass hats would have such power & influence to advocate emulating a hostile country as a shining beacon of wu-flu “wisdom” but that doesn’t absolve so-called world “leaders”, a # of whom have expressed open admiration for the more draconian aspects of societal control there.
the big BS tip off should be (but I suppose isn't, with the cultists) that these people are computer hacks and sociologists. NOT trained nor versed in medical science nor any natural sciences. so their opinions matter exactly WHY?
here in the Chicago area, mask wearing seemed to dwindle down to near nothing about 6 months ago and then for some inexplicable reason, creep back up in recent months, to at least one-forth to one-third of people slapping one on again. and I'm still seeing sad elderly folks, in filthy paper masks, walking alone and moms forcing masks on their little ones. the only thing that this 'signals' to me is that these people are either mentally ill or incapable of independent thought.
Sociology involves the study of the psychological forces driving the behaviors of society. This leads an understanding of ways in which societal behaviors can be influenced and manipulated. Sociologists would logically be in the forefront of mask propaganda, not medical evidence-based science, since masks are about changing societal behavior, not about health benefits. Hence the sociologist led, the CDC followed, not vice versa.
All you really need are the Bible and Shakespeare. Every human behavior is covered in both. We are humans, we may have better and faster communications, transportations, etc. but the truth is we are the same beings that left the caves and are driven by the same wants and desires. Our behavior really never changes, although some of us like to pretend that we are so much better than our ancestors or our neighbors. Mob rules are nothing new and the mob can be easily swayed. It has been so since the beginning of time.
yes, obvious to you and me (I have a psychology degree though never really worked in the field). not so obvious to lots of people out there. manipulating behavior was the name of the game. and sadly, it worked too well.
doctors & scientists who didn't agree, were slammed & canceled. while know-nothing folks like Gates was on the tube every day, giving medical advice. for all the screaming about 'experts', it clearly was 'rules for thee and not for me'.
I’ve noticed more masking lately, too, and don’t understand why. Maybe it’s the monkey pox? I only know one thing for certain and that is that I will never, ever put a piece of cloth over my face again. I complied (sort of) when the mandates were in full force. If I could do over, I would not comply even once.
totally agree with your sentiments - never will I comply again.
even my elderly parents only will if they HAVE to, to go to doctor appts.
idk, don't think too many people are taking the moneypox thing too seriously. isn't it more an STD? I don't think anyone thinks it 'airborne'. besides, the folks doing it now (masking), it isn't about health, its about virtue signaling or mental illness.
I just found out this morning that my triple-jabbed BIL has covid. I struggled not to start laughing. (I'm bad, I know) My 85 yr old mom's comment: he's the first person that I actually know, to have covid. yup, after 3 years, he's the FIRST in our family.
my sister was worried that I 'wasn't doing the right thing' by not taking jab. I live with/care for my parents (dad's 90!) and the household includes my two teen sons (unjabbed for over 16 yrs), who are going to public school. No covid here! I had a headache last March; does that count, lol. I REFUSE to participate so no testing of me or my kids either! my boys had pink eye last fall. my sister (who's STILL going to Catholic Mass 'online'!) asked me if I tested them for covid. it was an eye infection! its a crazy cult.
It’s traditional flu season here now. I’m sure that’s part of it. That’s what a couple of people mumbled to me behind their face diapers. I asked them to repeat what they said. They got their shots however!😳🙄.
weird thing is that I didn't notice the uptick in mask wearing until flu season was almost over, since its spring now. 'flu season' or really 'low vitamin D season', starts in Nov and is done by April. I guess. not like I am getting either the jab OR the flu. ;)
Same. I never got the flu shots anyway. Last flu was 1998. I’ve known for years that flu shots are basically obsolete by the time they come out each year. I’m totally anti-v@x now.
Your theatrical play comment reminded me of an audience-participation show I went to in Vegas (gag) once, called Tony and Tina's wedding. We sat at tables and at each table an actor from the show was 'planted.' I totally HATED that night because I HATED seeing all these previously normal people pretending to be part of the show just because the planted actor at our table egged them on. That is actually how convid unfolded. The government actors on TV and in each state's bureaucracies egged normal people into participating in a FAKE show. The only problem is, it was a fake show, but the hospital murders and vaccine deaths are real. Wake up you Tony and Tina fools. They are killing us for money.
Lordy, that’s a fascinating construct and rings true. I never thought about it like that before Satan held a talent audition and the 2 above plus thousands of others showed up to get on the stage. They weren’t using fake bullets or rubber knives however. The drinks on the table were actually poison. The jails were real during lockdowns. The scary clowns actually exist.
Excellent article. You're right about the only two possible explanations. I surmise that it was, and nearly always is in these cases, both.
Our cabal of monsters is so good at what they do, the vast majority of their enablers are not actually required to be in on the agendas. They are handpicked and vetted early on, cultivated and brainwashed. Then, later when they are needed, vanity and other false rewards are used to manipulate them, and they play their parts perfectly.
If it hadn't been these individuals, the cabal would have had their pick from among hundreds of other useful fools, who think themselves intelligent, to be the first to push the mask narratives.
Ironically, it's sort of along the lines of what Tufekci herself wrote when she argued that "censorship today involve meddling with trust and attention". The cabal simply amplifies attention and projects trust in the pawns that push its narratives. When the pawn makes a wrong move, they forfeit/cancel it and use the next one.
The head start program in my town that screens and works with pre school kids who are showing developmental delays is so overwhelmed with kids they can’t take them all. History will not be kind to these two and their brethren and this younger generation, that have been so screwed by these policies, will eventually have their say.
most infuriating thing ever, to see the little ones with masks on! I walked by a mom (no mask) and 4 yr old (with mask) in the grocery store yesterday. I commented out loud, 'poor kid'; have no idea if the mom heard me, as I kept on walking.
my niece has a 5 yr old daughter with severe autism and put off getting her into special ed and/or therapy because there's no way the little girl would keep a mask on.
I know of at least 2 students locally, who were literally kicked out of public special ed programs because they could not tolerate masks. its completely against state and federal IDEA (special ed) laws. so not only are healthy little one being harmed, the kids who already have issues, were denied appropriate educations.
My teenage son had developmental delays. I know how hard it is to help them develop in therapy without a mask-with a mask is beyond cruel to the child and parents. Kids who are neurotypical and a bit behind will catch up but the kids who needed all the face to face interaction they could get in the early years will fall further behind. It's criminal!
oh heck yeah! of all the people negatively impacted, the disabled kids got screwed the worst! Cruel is exactly what it was!
my ASD son (18 yrs old now) functions at the level of a 5 yr old. attempting to do 'remote learning' with him was ridiculous. most of his more severely disabled classmates didn't even bother. Luckily our district let the special ed kids come back, in small groups, two days a week, in spring of '21. its been such a cluster-F.
But this should be a lesson learned. One of the major flaws of the resistance movement was focusing on exceptions to the rules, rather then ending the nonsense rules entirely.
agree. asking to be 'exempt' from a human rights violation is agonizing to watch. but I still am not going to begrudge the 'exception seekers' too much. they were struggling with an intolerable situation same as the rest of us. everyone has their own personal limits of push back.
For the first year I used no medical exemption note, just NO. But by May 2021, life was becoming impossible, that's when I sought my first medical exemption, to support my stronger NO. But I attended as many protest rallies as I could, in many cities, to fight against the entire shebang. I don't want religious people to have exemptions, I want NO ONE to be under such idiotic mandates.
Always remember that slug Stacy abrams smiling like the jabba the hutt she is with a school room of masked children behind her. I’d like to send her a t-shirt with the jabba smiling and kids behind her. I know photoshop. Easy peasy to combine the 2 humanoid images. 🤔.
makes me wanna scream every time I see ANY kid forced to wear a mask. high school kids still wore them, even after they didn't have to. my 17 yr old said that some kids felt good 'hiding' behind them. talk about enabling social anxiety... so sad.
Head Start was one of the last federal programs that quit abusing children with masks. Now they wonder what happened? Give me a break. If you have never seen a line up of adorable 3 year olds in the public library wearing masks for story hour while everyone else there is unmasked then perhaps those doofuses working there should get a good look and engage a few brain cells. That wasnt that long ago.
my local library was mask-nazi central. not only did they shut down completely for over 8 months (!!), when they opened, it was 'order online' only (no walking thru the building) and books were handed to you thru a plastic barrier (think heavy vertical strips, like in a food processing plant). I was actually approached by a security guard & told to put my mask up higher on my nose! it was first thing in the morning, there might have been 4 people in the large building. Librarian was masked & behind a plastic wall. you could have seen the smoke coming off my head, I was THAT angry. next time I went, there was a morbidly obese woman checking out about 20 DVD's, chatting away with librarian, NO mask and nobody said a thing to her! WTF? they were the very last place to finally drop the mask requirement.
Yup. I was basically thrown out one day after we finally opened again in summer of 2021. Books were only picked up OUTSIDE on a cart during the closure. I went in without a mask cause gov PrickSter dropped the masking statewide said we could. Not at my library. I was called a danger out loud in front of others and if I clamped a Kleenex over my mouth I could stay. I walked out and picked up holds on a cart outside from September to spring of 2022. BTW I worked there with these people for 14 years until 2019. I go in now but my joy is gone snd some I barely talk to. The director is nuts.
you're in Illinois? (thinking 'PrickSter' = Pritzker, gov of IL). I'm in NW Indiana, just over the border of the southeast side of Chicago. we were no where near as bad as in Chicago (red state - IN). lots of Chicago people come over the border to shop (lower sales tax, gas prices, etc) and you could almost tell who they were cuz they were clinging to the mask thing way longer than us Hoosiers. ;)
I live 7 miles from Wisconsin. They weren’t as nuts there so I would go up to shop and such. Masks stopped much earlier. Gas then was 50 to 70 cents cheaper per gallon there. It was a pleasant escape. Hardly any masks around me now except that crazy library director who after 3 years finally let staff have a choice this MONTH. 🙄🤡🤪
Sadly, librarians are some of the most brainwashed among us. The county library system in the Minneapolis area was like that until sometime last summer. Where I live, in a very small town in western Wisconsin, the library had mask signs up until last summer, too, but I never wore a mask when I went in and no one said anything. Actually, only the librarians were ever masked as far as I saw.
I can't even wrap my head around the mind set of parents who's kids are young enough to have no memory of people without masks on! scary as heck that they think its 'normal' and that they have been taught that their every breath is somehow dangerous, that they are somehow responsible for the health of others. think of the warped adults these kids are going to grow up to be. I hope its not too late to turn that around.
I saw a mother in Walmart angrily try to wrestle a mask on her 2 yr old “so you won’t hurt anyone”. I just stood and stared at her. She finally huffed away with the child whining behind a mask. I was near the longer size summer sausage bin. My urge at that moment……….
omg, 'so you don't hurt anyone'. THAT is child abuse. I also saw something similar: a toddler sitting in the cart, an older sibling was wresting with a mask, screaming and slapping the baby. I was shook up for days.
also, my niece was actually kicked out of Walmart because her 3 yr old developmentally disabled daughter was not in a mask. she was already in the check out and another shopper was screaming at her, calling her daughter a 'plague rat', until security told her to leave. wouldn't even let her make her purchase.
I told a guy to f$ck off once in Walmart. That was a first for me but not the last. I’m an old lady. Perish the thought I would do this when I was younger. 🤬
I'm older as well. 62. I had way too much fun in the 80's and have the hearing loss to prove it, lol. but it is next to impossible for me to understand what people are saying with masks on.
I’ve told this before how a good friend of mine, an entrepreneur, had informed me in October, 2019 that he’d be out of reach for a few weeks. He was going to be out of the country and couldn’t tell me where or what for. Okay I thought but it got my curiosity going so when asked upon his return, he mentioned he was in China on a business trip but once again wouldn’t tell me anything about it.
When word of the plandemic was spreading that winter of ‘20, I mentioned to him that it sounded like another hoax just like N1H1, SARS, Zika and all the rest. “No no” he replied - “this is gonna be the real thing. By the way do you know anyone who’s looking to buy N95 masks? I have access to a huge supply!” At that moment the dots were connected; the mysterious trip to China, the assurances that this was the plague, and now his new venture helped me understand that it was all definitely and deliberately planned. At the same time, there were reports coming out from a journalist named Spiro about Event 201 where the WEF, Johns-Hopkins, and the Gates Foundation were doing a practice run at the same time he was in China. No one knows how many people were in on this scam, how many NDA’s were signed or how many billions were spent in advance to push this surprise attack of nature (not reallocation) on the gullible people of the world. My friend made out well although our friendship has not been the same. This anecdote is probably quite commonplace.

The kindness fallacy is the worst aspect of promask arguments. Saying it is ‘kind’ and ‘pro-society’ makes the actual effectiveness of masks a secondary motivation for wearing them. I shoot that argument down whenever I can, and point out that many people are physically and emotionally harmed by masks. Not kind at all. In our family, with a developmentally disabled daughter , ‘my mask upsets me, and your mask upsets me’ is how it works.
right!? absolutely right! I have an 18 yr old with autism who is very, very compliant. he wore the mask for a while because he NEEDED to go to school. the second they dropped the requirement, I never put one on him yet he would arrive home on the bus, with one on. wtf? somebody at school was putting one on him so I had to contact the teacher and say NO, no more. they just took it upon themselves to put one on him, likely knowing full well that he would comply.
btw, his bus driver and bus aide STILL are wearing masks, to this day.
It infuriates me that academic parasites like Zeynep advocate for censoring people on social media while remaining silent when the "good people" use it to destroy lives with false accusations and start ethnic riots using it - among countless other transgressions.
I don't pay taxes to finance these lunatics for destroying other people's material wellbeing and civil liberties. Guys like Baked Alaska would have no sway at all if academics didn't push things like equality of outcome, then use other taxpayer financed outlets like NPR to lie about people's intentions when a grown-up discussion is attempted.
They “worked” all right; especially for our littles. Deprivation of oxygen crucial to their still developing brains. On the flip side poisoning them with carbon dioxide which is human bodily waste. Not to mention all the minute particles shed off from masks but breathed into the lungs.
Then factor in the germs, bacteria, & God only knows what gunk collected on masks.
THEN the knowledge that viral mist (not “droplets”) is so minuscule that is passed thru any mask.
I strolled past my library directors office when I was picking up books. She’s sitting in there all alone with a mask on. Continuously for 3 years now. Most of her staff did too until recently when some quit wearing them. Not all however. One dodo has kept hers on and will only deal with the unmasked masses behind her plexi and mask. I barely talk to her anymore.
It’s all part of the brainwashing PsyOp that went into overdrive in 2016 when Trump ran for office and TDS Derangement Syndrome took hold. Nature lovers who never gave a shit about any of it were suddenly engaged in political mumble jumble. The leftist voices on TV and NY Times etc suddenly became the rallying point for all things Orange Man Bad. Progressive urban dwellers and hipsters alike just couldn’t get enough of it. And the more deeply the bought into it, the easier it was for the lying media deep state agents to sell them the pandemic - fear mongering led to unquestioned compliance and a devotion to masks, PCR tests and of course the world saving Fauci Ouchie. Science and reason no longer mattered. Those of us who clung onto our sanity and humility were astonished at how easy it was to sway someone who rejected GMO food to get shot up with 3,4 or even 5 doses of mRNA. They didn’t want to hear a word you said unless you were part of the Woke Patrol blessed by Medical authorities like Bill Gates or that clown we just learned about from The NY Times.
These effin masks are the bane of humanity. I will never get over that part of the whole covid cult and it's numerous rituals. So much of what has gone on reminds me of words in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible when it often says things like, "Pray to your idols made of wood and stone and ask them to come and save you." The other thing I won't ever get over is how people who are *not* experts on anything medically related suddenly became experts overnight. Gates, Schwab, the corporate media, institutions of "higher learning", and thousands of other shills that we are now supposed to laud and worship as some kind of saints/gods of medicine... Yet the average guy/gal doing their own research and truly looking at the numbers and those who actually have experience with things like masks were not allowed to say one word. We were banned, censored and deleted from society as we watched our loved ones die behind plexiglass and watch our communities be divided and destroyed. I'll never let this go if I live one more day or 30 more years. We can NEVER let this kind of insanity happen again. If we do, we deserve what we get.
Yes. Insane. OK. Sure. I guess we can go with that; it's said a lot. "It's so insane!" And what can we do when something is insane? Why, we can forgive it because, well, we can all experience a bit of temporary insanity, right? And once that passes, all returns to "normal," right? Forgive and forget.
Well, I suggest that what we have all witnessed and endured are moral failings -- moral failings so deep as to be an ongoing threat if we fail to call them what they actually are -- and address them. In place of an abiding adherence to principles and the sanctity of basic human rights, we saw the vast majority indulge their inner coward, their inner bully, their vanity, their sanctimony. This conduct was not insane. It was the indulgence in long-recognized vices. 𝑰𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒍.
Yes indeed. Totally immoral. Well said and good points.
Well said!
Even today when an article was recommended to me about precautions needed following the easing of COVID restrictions, I found a comment (probably one of many) blaming the unvaxxed and unmasked for lack of hospital beds owed to virtuous citizens of Canada who need them. This comment, a clear example of intellectual and moral failings of the majority of the populations in - likely - most countries in the world, shows us that we can no longer win this battle. Don't we live in a democracy, or rather idiocracy? What the tyrants want, our friends and neighbours will gladly do, and all remaining resisters will be dutifully reported to the saviour - the tyrannical state. It took decades to dumb down and demoralize these societies, but the progress has been steady and very successful. The pandemic leaves no doubt that more are planned, and that the tyrant knows just how easy the next stage in this war against us will be.
I could barely get into reading this without wanting to throw up. Bravo Rob D ⬆️ well said. They both must be prosecuted along w all the rest of the hoax perpetrators. I've never even heard of them but examples should be made of them and anyone else engaging in this type of subterfuge. Instead please inundate the public w FACTS of Spanish flu and consequent mask deaths.
These two fools are not in positions of authority, they're just social media influencers. NOBODY should have believed them.
The real criminals are all the corporate leaders, all the institutional leaders, all the media, all the politicians who jumped onto this populist bandwagon, for this was exactly populism: swaying public policy with fear narratives creating hysteria.
Yup. Paid to propagandize us from cute shoes to masks and kill shots to nukes and war. A lower order of human dregs bleating to the herd. Not as smart as the dogs that actually herd sheep. I turned them off years ago.
Like Tomas Pueyo. People who had no idea what they were talking about yet somehow apparently managed to greatly influence the narrative.
I was in my early 20s during 9/11, watching as even my most die hard "question everything" friends and allies were supporting the Iraq war (Iraq had, um, nothing to do with it). Quoting things about how all the freedoms taken were "cuz terrorism". And I realized back then that who people believe themselves to be and who they actually *are* are completely separate identities. In the words of Vonnegut (sigh), "and so it goes."
Who woke you up about 9/11? For me it was Alex Jones.
Also.
I coincidentally came across "Behold, A Pale Horse" and read it around the age of 15 lol
I just knew. Started, uh, tuning in naturally as a teenager with the help of LSD 🥴🤷♀️😂
Well said!
The useless masks were a tool of oppression. It was a mad rule to sort out who is compliant and who isn't. It is comparable to mad early rules against Jews in NAZI Germany. Full story:

Rob D said it so well, I don't have to. I have contemplated, several times, just "letting the mask B.S. go" and then, I get pissed all over again. Damn. Just damn.
100%. During my decade in biology at university, I studied biostatistics, virology, immunology, it was obvious from as far back as Jan-Feb 2020 that China was lying, and that we should follow established Pandemic Preparedness Plans.
I still don't understand how people's false fear can be so strong.
People are trained to trust the authority of the person, rather than the authority of the evidence.
We are controlled through language, because all language is functional. That’s why authority figures have to change the language before they can change minds. Repetition is extremely powerful.
The narrative…
Bad apples…
Terrorists…
Viruses are real…
Etc.
Beliefs are formed with emotions. It’s very difficult for most people to change their minds when presented with evidence once beLIEfs are formed. That’s why fear tactics are so effective.
Because people are social animals, aligning with the majority provides a sense of protection. Most people are averse to outliers because it’s disruptive to the idea of safety.
Religions are successful because they use they tactics. So do governments. There is very little difference between the two in practice.
I am comfortable being an outlier.
As a black sheep and lone wolf my entire life, I have zero capacity to understand "beliefs", of any sort.
Yes, we are apes, we are groomed into mimicry by our parents, we have the longest grooming/infancy period of any living being, some individuals rebel after puberty, but not enough. We are week animals, coerced into conformity by the tribe, in order to assure longer survival.
It's all pretty sick IMO.
Homo sapiens is a messed up species, and will likely end up the last mammal on Earth.
Because most people are ignorant, and they follow the "experts"...
I realise it looks like that superficially. But my leftist brethren, feminists, environmentalists, anti-capitalists have for all of my half-century plus existence, we've ALWAYS complained AGAINST corporations, institutions, and government, FOR freedom of speech. My frustration is mostly about my side losing their god-damned mind.
Religious forces have always been authoritarian, and in countries like Canada, NZ, Aus, Conservatives did absolutely nothing against this bs because conservative parties are by definition parties of "law & order".

Its just the old tactic : Divide and Conquer.
“That kind of man (the idolater) feeds on ashes [and is satisfied with ashes]! A deceived mind has led him astray, so that he cannot save himself, or ask, “Is this thing [that I am holding] in my right hand not a lie?” Isaiah 44:20
You are spot on. Pure idolatry and deception. To call them clowns would insult the real clowns.
Amen!! Completely agree.
I am unable to wear one. Live in WA. Husband farmer. My career was destroyed. Couldn’t even go into stores. We bought a condo in Idaho so I could function. Husband visited on weekends for 2 years. Mortality demo WA & ID exactly the same. My fury runs deep for these 2. Deep.
It's often very hard to love our enemies. Jesus Christ knows how hard it is.
God bless you Brooke and God bless your family. Amen.
Yes indeed. I found myself getting so angry at these people that I had to stop and remind myself that we are to bless those who persecute us and pray for those who despitefully use us.
It isn't easy. But it's the way out. God is love. Our enemies and the demons controlling them do not understand love.
They can turn our hate if we choose to hate. But they can do nothing with love. It is our great weapon for freedom.
Amen!
Thank you, Jim. Yes. And yes.
I’m so sorry. The madness is all around us still but you are STRONG. I salute you and 🙏🏻 that peace descends upon you. And all of us.
Thank you. God bless you.
I can't wear one, and did not wear any, not once, not for one single minute. My life for two years was limited to grocery stores and gas stations.
Grocery stores let you in without a muzzle on?
Yes, by law, they are required to allow people to buy food, I have medical exemptions from two doctors, but most grocery stores simply stopped asking. I did however get "bumped into" by ijiotic people who had a covered face, virtue-signalling their hate to me. I've had Rando employees follow me in aisles offering a face veil. I've had rando customers capture me on their cell phone, I chased after them. I'm middle-aged and gray-haired, officials might have been more lax with me.
Well, Tracy, I can say we are experiencing the end times as Revelations starches us. The world government has already begun. Our so called trade agreements that has to do with us wil joins us together with Mexico and Canada to for a one block nation. In fact, none of these trade agreements are about trade. The USCMA treaty that Trump signed does just that. Today, we have less and less people who know what’s going on in government or who let our legislators know we are “watching” them! I would advise everyone to join The John Birch Society. I learned many years ago what was being planned for the world. So far, everything has come true! That was over 40 years ago that I learned the plan my these globalists. With this organization—JBS—you can actually gather with others of like mind who are fighting against this. Also, do not fall for any constitutional convention. It is a very dangerous move and we could lose our Constitution. Right now the COS led by Mark Meckler or Constitution of States are trying to sign up many of our states in order to have a convention. Let your Governor know you do NOT APPROVE! At the age of 80 I am probably not long for this world, but many of you and your children are going to be around unless Jesus comes first. God Bless you all.
Both of these 2 need to have a public beating on the Washington Mall. Then tried and convicted for their fraud and propaganda roles. EF both of them. 🤬🤬 No mercy!!!!!!
These are the real Nazi's....and now we are killing millions with the jabs.
Never again was supposed to be never again.
It is now.
Exactly. We must stop these people so that this never ever ever happens again. This entire ScamDemic is a global elitists conspiracy to take over America and that’s why they had to get rid of Trump. Tony Fauci should hang.
Hatred only makes them stronger.
Jesus Christ says to love our enemies. Love is the only weapon they cannot handle. God is love.
I share the fury.
Wow Michael, thx for the deep dive. I’ve never heard of these horrible people but they’re as bad or worse than Faux-Xi. This small seems to say more about the deeply corrupt Idiocracy in which we’re living - that a few uncredentialed & over-their-heads ass hats would have such power & influence to advocate emulating a hostile country as a shining beacon of wu-flu “wisdom” but that doesn’t absolve so-called world “leaders”, a # of whom have expressed open admiration for the more draconian aspects of societal control there.
Is there a money trail to these 2?
That’s what I am wondering. Also what made the CDC and WHO finally about face? Money? Threats? Both?
You had me when you called them ass-hats!
My dad liked “piss ants”. Takes people down to grinding into the dirt size. These 2 qualify.
😂
I do not think they had that much power. They were realizing the script of those who do.
I realize there are public faces & voices for this crap but who is behind the curtain?
Who is behind the WHO's acceleration of a new and improved global pandemic measures? - Definitely not the face we see.
Yes, that’s why I said there are public faces & voices that aren’t the real powers. Who are?
the big BS tip off should be (but I suppose isn't, with the cultists) that these people are computer hacks and sociologists. NOT trained nor versed in medical science nor any natural sciences. so their opinions matter exactly WHY?
here in the Chicago area, mask wearing seemed to dwindle down to near nothing about 6 months ago and then for some inexplicable reason, creep back up in recent months, to at least one-forth to one-third of people slapping one on again. and I'm still seeing sad elderly folks, in filthy paper masks, walking alone and moms forcing masks on their little ones. the only thing that this 'signals' to me is that these people are either mentally ill or incapable of independent thought.
Sociology involves the study of the psychological forces driving the behaviors of society. This leads an understanding of ways in which societal behaviors can be influenced and manipulated. Sociologists would logically be in the forefront of mask propaganda, not medical evidence-based science, since masks are about changing societal behavior, not about health benefits. Hence the sociologist led, the CDC followed, not vice versa.
All you really need are the Bible and Shakespeare. Every human behavior is covered in both. We are humans, we may have better and faster communications, transportations, etc. but the truth is we are the same beings that left the caves and are driven by the same wants and desires. Our behavior really never changes, although some of us like to pretend that we are so much better than our ancestors or our neighbors. Mob rules are nothing new and the mob can be easily swayed. It has been so since the beginning of time.
true that. even easier now, to appeal to base motives and emotions, en masse, thru tech.
yes, obvious to you and me (I have a psychology degree though never really worked in the field). not so obvious to lots of people out there. manipulating behavior was the name of the game. and sadly, it worked too well.
doctors & scientists who didn't agree, were slammed & canceled. while know-nothing folks like Gates was on the tube every day, giving medical advice. for all the screaming about 'experts', it clearly was 'rules for thee and not for me'.
I’ve noticed more masking lately, too, and don’t understand why. Maybe it’s the monkey pox? I only know one thing for certain and that is that I will never, ever put a piece of cloth over my face again. I complied (sort of) when the mandates were in full force. If I could do over, I would not comply even once.
totally agree with your sentiments - never will I comply again.
even my elderly parents only will if they HAVE to, to go to doctor appts.
idk, don't think too many people are taking the moneypox thing too seriously. isn't it more an STD? I don't think anyone thinks it 'airborne'. besides, the folks doing it now (masking), it isn't about health, its about virtue signaling or mental illness.
I just found out this morning that my triple-jabbed BIL has covid. I struggled not to start laughing. (I'm bad, I know) My 85 yr old mom's comment: he's the first person that I actually know, to have covid. yup, after 3 years, he's the FIRST in our family.
my sister was worried that I 'wasn't doing the right thing' by not taking jab. I live with/care for my parents (dad's 90!) and the household includes my two teen sons (unjabbed for over 16 yrs), who are going to public school. No covid here! I had a headache last March; does that count, lol. I REFUSE to participate so no testing of me or my kids either! my boys had pink eye last fall. my sister (who's STILL going to Catholic Mass 'online'!) asked me if I tested them for covid. it was an eye infection! its a crazy cult.
It’s traditional flu season here now. I’m sure that’s part of it. That’s what a couple of people mumbled to me behind their face diapers. I asked them to repeat what they said. They got their shots however!😳🙄.
I always make the mask people repeat themselves even when I fully understand what they’ve said.
weird thing is that I didn't notice the uptick in mask wearing until flu season was almost over, since its spring now. 'flu season' or really 'low vitamin D season', starts in Nov and is done by April. I guess. not like I am getting either the jab OR the flu. ;)
Same. I never got the flu shots anyway. Last flu was 1998. I’ve known for years that flu shots are basically obsolete by the time they come out each year. I’m totally anti-v@x now.
Amen to everything you just said.
These last three years have unmasked plenty of everyday people, organizations, institutions, politicians, journalists, policies and goverments.
All covid policies did not just happen. They were prepared well in advance, just like a theatrical play.
Every actor entered the stage at the scheduled time, with the prepared speech or article.
Sadly, the audience was told that everything was spontaneous.
Nothing was real and honest except of the socio-economic concequencies and the suffering of ordinary people.
At the same time, not accidentally, all those who opposed, were ridiculed, cancelled or punished.
Thank you for exposing the dirty story with reasoning, proofs and names.
Your theatrical play comment reminded me of an audience-participation show I went to in Vegas (gag) once, called Tony and Tina's wedding. We sat at tables and at each table an actor from the show was 'planted.' I totally HATED that night because I HATED seeing all these previously normal people pretending to be part of the show just because the planted actor at our table egged them on. That is actually how convid unfolded. The government actors on TV and in each state's bureaucracies egged normal people into participating in a FAKE show. The only problem is, it was a fake show, but the hospital murders and vaccine deaths are real. Wake up you Tony and Tina fools. They are killing us for money.
Lordy, that’s a fascinating construct and rings true. I never thought about it like that before Satan held a talent audition and the 2 above plus thousands of others showed up to get on the stage. They weren’t using fake bullets or rubber knives however. The drinks on the table were actually poison. The jails were real during lockdowns. The scary clowns actually exist.
Same play, comedy for the few, tragedy for all the rest.
Unfortunately, it was obvious to a few sceptics, in the beginning, like you in the vegas show.
The rest took part mindlessly, like the rest of the audience in the vegas show.
Ancient Greek theater's purpose was not just to entertain but educate, as well, even in retrospect.
Let's hope that the complying audience will realise their illusions, even in retrospect.
What Yuri said. But she is a highly-placed disinformation agent and very dangerous —good takedown!
Excellent article. You're right about the only two possible explanations. I surmise that it was, and nearly always is in these cases, both.
Our cabal of monsters is so good at what they do, the vast majority of their enablers are not actually required to be in on the agendas. They are handpicked and vetted early on, cultivated and brainwashed. Then, later when they are needed, vanity and other false rewards are used to manipulate them, and they play their parts perfectly.
If it hadn't been these individuals, the cabal would have had their pick from among hundreds of other useful fools, who think themselves intelligent, to be the first to push the mask narratives.
Ironically, it's sort of along the lines of what Tufekci herself wrote when she argued that "censorship today involve meddling with trust and attention". The cabal simply amplifies attention and projects trust in the pawns that push its narratives. When the pawn makes a wrong move, they forfeit/cancel it and use the next one.
That tidbit about the true impact of media cherry-picking stories was the only thing she got right !
Great article - fascinating and sad. Thanks for doing the digging on this.
Appreciate the timeline of insanity you so clearly map out. Thank you.
The head start program in my town that screens and works with pre school kids who are showing developmental delays is so overwhelmed with kids they can’t take them all. History will not be kind to these two and their brethren and this younger generation, that have been so screwed by these policies, will eventually have their say.
most infuriating thing ever, to see the little ones with masks on! I walked by a mom (no mask) and 4 yr old (with mask) in the grocery store yesterday. I commented out loud, 'poor kid'; have no idea if the mom heard me, as I kept on walking.
my niece has a 5 yr old daughter with severe autism and put off getting her into special ed and/or therapy because there's no way the little girl would keep a mask on.
I know of at least 2 students locally, who were literally kicked out of public special ed programs because they could not tolerate masks. its completely against state and federal IDEA (special ed) laws. so not only are healthy little one being harmed, the kids who already have issues, were denied appropriate educations.
My teenage son had developmental delays. I know how hard it is to help them develop in therapy without a mask-with a mask is beyond cruel to the child and parents. Kids who are neurotypical and a bit behind will catch up but the kids who needed all the face to face interaction they could get in the early years will fall further behind. It's criminal!
oh heck yeah! of all the people negatively impacted, the disabled kids got screwed the worst! Cruel is exactly what it was!
my ASD son (18 yrs old now) functions at the level of a 5 yr old. attempting to do 'remote learning' with him was ridiculous. most of his more severely disabled classmates didn't even bother. Luckily our district let the special ed kids come back, in small groups, two days a week, in spring of '21. its been such a cluster-F.
Yes it was worst for them.
But this should be a lesson learned. One of the major flaws of the resistance movement was focusing on exceptions to the rules, rather then ending the nonsense rules entirely.
Exceptions are NEVER a solution to bad policy.
agree. asking to be 'exempt' from a human rights violation is agonizing to watch. but I still am not going to begrudge the 'exception seekers' too much. they were struggling with an intolerable situation same as the rest of us. everyone has their own personal limits of push back.
For the first year I used no medical exemption note, just NO. But by May 2021, life was becoming impossible, that's when I sought my first medical exemption, to support my stronger NO. But I attended as many protest rallies as I could, in many cities, to fight against the entire shebang. I don't want religious people to have exemptions, I want NO ONE to be under such idiotic mandates.
Always remember that slug Stacy abrams smiling like the jabba the hutt she is with a school room of masked children behind her. I’d like to send her a t-shirt with the jabba smiling and kids behind her. I know photoshop. Easy peasy to combine the 2 humanoid images. 🤔.
makes me wanna scream every time I see ANY kid forced to wear a mask. high school kids still wore them, even after they didn't have to. my 17 yr old said that some kids felt good 'hiding' behind them. talk about enabling social anxiety... so sad.
True—it’s absolutely horrific..
Head Start was one of the last federal programs that quit abusing children with masks. Now they wonder what happened? Give me a break. If you have never seen a line up of adorable 3 year olds in the public library wearing masks for story hour while everyone else there is unmasked then perhaps those doofuses working there should get a good look and engage a few brain cells. That wasnt that long ago.
my local library was mask-nazi central. not only did they shut down completely for over 8 months (!!), when they opened, it was 'order online' only (no walking thru the building) and books were handed to you thru a plastic barrier (think heavy vertical strips, like in a food processing plant). I was actually approached by a security guard & told to put my mask up higher on my nose! it was first thing in the morning, there might have been 4 people in the large building. Librarian was masked & behind a plastic wall. you could have seen the smoke coming off my head, I was THAT angry. next time I went, there was a morbidly obese woman checking out about 20 DVD's, chatting away with librarian, NO mask and nobody said a thing to her! WTF? they were the very last place to finally drop the mask requirement.
Yup. I was basically thrown out one day after we finally opened again in summer of 2021. Books were only picked up OUTSIDE on a cart during the closure. I went in without a mask cause gov PrickSter dropped the masking statewide said we could. Not at my library. I was called a danger out loud in front of others and if I clamped a Kleenex over my mouth I could stay. I walked out and picked up holds on a cart outside from September to spring of 2022. BTW I worked there with these people for 14 years until 2019. I go in now but my joy is gone snd some I barely talk to. The director is nuts.
wow! that's just sad.
you're in Illinois? (thinking 'PrickSter' = Pritzker, gov of IL). I'm in NW Indiana, just over the border of the southeast side of Chicago. we were no where near as bad as in Chicago (red state - IN). lots of Chicago people come over the border to shop (lower sales tax, gas prices, etc) and you could almost tell who they were cuz they were clinging to the mask thing way longer than us Hoosiers. ;)
I live 7 miles from Wisconsin. They weren’t as nuts there so I would go up to shop and such. Masks stopped much earlier. Gas then was 50 to 70 cents cheaper per gallon there. It was a pleasant escape. Hardly any masks around me now except that crazy library director who after 3 years finally let staff have a choice this MONTH. 🙄🤡🤪
Sadly, librarians are some of the most brainwashed among us. The county library system in the Minneapolis area was like that until sometime last summer. Where I live, in a very small town in western Wisconsin, the library had mask signs up until last summer, too, but I never wore a mask when I went in and no one said anything. Actually, only the librarians were ever masked as far as I saw.
I can't even wrap my head around the mind set of parents who's kids are young enough to have no memory of people without masks on! scary as heck that they think its 'normal' and that they have been taught that their every breath is somehow dangerous, that they are somehow responsible for the health of others. think of the warped adults these kids are going to grow up to be. I hope its not too late to turn that around.
I saw a mother in Walmart angrily try to wrestle a mask on her 2 yr old “so you won’t hurt anyone”. I just stood and stared at her. She finally huffed away with the child whining behind a mask. I was near the longer size summer sausage bin. My urge at that moment……….
omg, 'so you don't hurt anyone'. THAT is child abuse. I also saw something similar: a toddler sitting in the cart, an older sibling was wresting with a mask, screaming and slapping the baby. I was shook up for days.
also, my niece was actually kicked out of Walmart because her 3 yr old developmentally disabled daughter was not in a mask. she was already in the check out and another shopper was screaming at her, calling her daughter a 'plague rat', until security told her to leave. wouldn't even let her make her purchase.
Now we know who would be “Good Germans”. Horrible.
right?! like my own sister... :(
I told a guy to f$ck off once in Walmart. That was a first for me but not the last. I’m an old lady. Perish the thought I would do this when I was younger. 🤬
I'm older as well. 62. I had way too much fun in the 80's and have the hearing loss to prove it, lol. but it is next to impossible for me to understand what people are saying with masks on.
I’ve told this before how a good friend of mine, an entrepreneur, had informed me in October, 2019 that he’d be out of reach for a few weeks. He was going to be out of the country and couldn’t tell me where or what for. Okay I thought but it got my curiosity going so when asked upon his return, he mentioned he was in China on a business trip but once again wouldn’t tell me anything about it.
When word of the plandemic was spreading that winter of ‘20, I mentioned to him that it sounded like another hoax just like N1H1, SARS, Zika and all the rest. “No no” he replied - “this is gonna be the real thing. By the way do you know anyone who’s looking to buy N95 masks? I have access to a huge supply!” At that moment the dots were connected; the mysterious trip to China, the assurances that this was the plague, and now his new venture helped me understand that it was all definitely and deliberately planned. At the same time, there were reports coming out from a journalist named Spiro about Event 201 where the WEF, Johns-Hopkins, and the Gates Foundation were doing a practice run at the same time he was in China. No one knows how many people were in on this scam, how many NDA’s were signed or how many billions were spent in advance to push this surprise attack of nature (not reallocation) on the gullible people of the world. My friend made out well although our friendship has not been the same. This anecdote is probably quite commonplace.

OMG....they are the ones who started the mask = solidarity cliche?!
I like having 'solidarity' with people who can think for themselves! :)
The kindness fallacy is the worst aspect of promask arguments. Saying it is ‘kind’ and ‘pro-society’ makes the actual effectiveness of masks a secondary motivation for wearing them. I shoot that argument down whenever I can, and point out that many people are physically and emotionally harmed by masks. Not kind at all. In our family, with a developmentally disabled daughter , ‘my mask upsets me, and your mask upsets me’ is how it works.
right!? absolutely right! I have an 18 yr old with autism who is very, very compliant. he wore the mask for a while because he NEEDED to go to school. the second they dropped the requirement, I never put one on him yet he would arrive home on the bus, with one on. wtf? somebody at school was putting one on him so I had to contact the teacher and say NO, no more. they just took it upon themselves to put one on him, likely knowing full well that he would comply.
btw, his bus driver and bus aide STILL are wearing masks, to this day.
That is infuriating!! 🤬
Great point!
It infuriates me that academic parasites like Zeynep advocate for censoring people on social media while remaining silent when the "good people" use it to destroy lives with false accusations and start ethnic riots using it - among countless other transgressions.
I don't pay taxes to finance these lunatics for destroying other people's material wellbeing and civil liberties. Guys like Baked Alaska would have no sway at all if academics didn't push things like equality of outcome, then use other taxpayer financed outlets like NPR to lie about people's intentions when a grown-up discussion is attempted.
These people are so fucking vile.
Mask don’t work and never did. Period. The science is settled.
They “worked” all right; especially for our littles. Deprivation of oxygen crucial to their still developing brains. On the flip side poisoning them with carbon dioxide which is human bodily waste. Not to mention all the minute particles shed off from masks but breathed into the lungs.
Then factor in the germs, bacteria, & God only knows what gunk collected on masks.
THEN the knowledge that viral mist (not “droplets”) is so minuscule that is passed thru any mask.
I strolled past my library directors office when I was picking up books. She’s sitting in there all alone with a mask on. Continuously for 3 years now. Most of her staff did too until recently when some quit wearing them. Not all however. One dodo has kept hers on and will only deal with the unmasked masses behind her plexi and mask. I barely talk to her anymore.
Why aren’t the mask enthusiasts out there picking up the discarded masks? I’ll pick up litter when I come across it but not masks.
LOVED the meme that was going around a couple years ago that was a picture of a paper mask on the ground: 'oh look, someone lost their immune system'.
It’s all part of the brainwashing PsyOp that went into overdrive in 2016 when Trump ran for office and TDS Derangement Syndrome took hold. Nature lovers who never gave a shit about any of it were suddenly engaged in political mumble jumble. The leftist voices on TV and NY Times etc suddenly became the rallying point for all things Orange Man Bad. Progressive urban dwellers and hipsters alike just couldn’t get enough of it. And the more deeply the bought into it, the easier it was for the lying media deep state agents to sell them the pandemic - fear mongering led to unquestioned compliance and a devotion to masks, PCR tests and of course the world saving Fauci Ouchie. Science and reason no longer mattered. Those of us who clung onto our sanity and humility were astonished at how easy it was to sway someone who rejected GMO food to get shot up with 3,4 or even 5 doses of mRNA. They didn’t want to hear a word you said unless you were part of the Woke Patrol blessed by Medical authorities like Bill Gates or that clown we just learned about from The NY Times.
