We all needed to start resisting all this nonsense - yesterday!

I would scofflaw any edict to continue wearing a mask with no further medical purpose and hopefully get cited or arrested for my day in court with appeals as necessary. Its constitutonally questionable even under the current circumstances

Where in the hell is that big quake that's supposed to rip off the left coast and drown it in the sea when you need it?

Thanks for the compilation of cons to the masks. And thanks for the links as well.

Masks are about control, period. From the beginning, there were over 20 studies proving that. Now, there are even more. Our town, we do not use them except to get into grocery, avoid retail. We have places we can grab coffee togheehr maskless, which we have been doing for a year now. We also avoid vaccines. We have remained healthy, happy, and informed, tahanks to interaction, germ spreading and old afshioned common sense..

There has been one leftist (i.e., Communist-inspired) crisis after another in every year of my memory. Here are some:
- Save the Rosenbergs.
- Make nuclear power available.
- Stop the bomb tests.
- Prevent nuclear power.
- End segregation.
- Reinstate segregation.
- Global cooling.
- Global warming.

The agenda has always been to advance the Communist revolution, often through the weapon called, "Let's you and he fight." We are to be pitted against each other so that we unwittingly advance the Communist cause.

I just don't bother with the face diaper anymore... of course, other than some locals such as the bank, etc... Odd bit -- I am at the summit of Mt. Hood in Oregon -- and some of the climbers had on the muzzle -- not a balaclava, a muzzle ... atop a mountain ... in the wind. The folks on the west side of the Cascades, are by and large, still buying the hokum. Folks here on the east side of the mountains have been skeptics for well over a year.

30-50%?

Inside their head - "What do I say now that he has identified I was too stupid to do what I believe is right before the people I like told me to believe in science that I don't understand told me to believe in what I want to tell him I am smarter than him about? He can't be right. He is a non-believer! No science!"

"Boom!" - head explodes due to walnut-sized grey matter converting to C4 as an ego-survival trait.

Just don't bring those NYS attitudes with ya. (I'm pretty sure you won't, or you wouldn't be here!) Let us know which place you find suitable employment, and move to!

I have been asking this same question as you, Thoritsu, to people who proudly proclaim how "masks save lives," etc.: If you think masks are keeping you from the viruses or bacteria of other people, what did you do during influenza season, or when Tuberculosis was/is increasing its presence? Tell me about the masks you have worn since the day you were born.

They all look at me like I've lost my mind.

Masks do more harm than good. The harms include Pleurisy, Hypoxia, Bacterial Pneumonia, Face Lesions, dental problems. But, that is the reason "blue" states have insisted on them. They needed to get the sickness and death numbers UP to increase their control. See: Blue State nursing homes for reference. ;-)

Now that COVID is finally receding, look for those states to tighten their grip as they understand people won't take much more of it.

Also, look for "climate change" hysteria to increase exponentially.

These people NEVER give up. I wish our side had the same single-mindedness towards LIBERTY and the tenacity to never give up on it.

This is going to add fuel to the "Greater Idaho" movement for sure.

This is becoming a flipped version of the yellow Star of David Jews had to wear in Hitler's Germany. Anyone seen without a mask will be the target of public condemnation and hostility. This idea would make law enforcement action against "antimaskers" real, with possible criminal charges. It's a good way to root out those obnoxious people who insist on individual liberty.

My friends are George Fox University in Newberg and at Oregon Institute of Technology. We are co-authoring a proposal on how best to train the next set of John Galts, Francisco D'Anconias, and Ragnar Djanneskjolds.

That will never happen.

John Ioannidis would agree.

I think the people in Oregon and Washington need to stop drinking the water. There's definitely something wrong with it.

Good one, Dino. To be really safe in Oregon, people should wear at least four masks. Then when they die because they can’t breathe...problem solved, no more people to spread the virus.

A scene from a future movie made in Oregon.
"Hey, sheriff, who was that masked man?"
"Don't 'cha know? That was The Lone Sheeple!"

They never were. Even the CDC's own journals cite report after report denying any positive effects on disease transmission from wearing a mask.
