Afterword
There is absolutely no scientific reason for mask wearing under any circumstances. The
covid-19 hoax is an IQ test. Anyone who wears a mask after studying the evidence has
clearly failed the test.

I was sitting outdoors at a cafe in Palo Alto with my wife today when it occurred to me that wearing a mask outdoors is simply a badge of political identity at this point, since there is literally zero scientific evidence that they have any beneficial effect.

But to not wear a mask when surrounded by obedient liberal sheeple is to proclaim a different political identity than the sheeple. This is uncomfortable for most people, who do not like to challenge the crowd, or to question their own political beliefs.

To take off the mask, even outdoors, requires courage which they simply do not have.

Fuck Them! Politely debate the asshole that tells you to wear a mask until he gets to the talking point, "I'm really wearing it for YOUR protection". Respond with, "I'm NOT wearing the mask so dicks like you will stay away from me". Then clear your throat by coughing a little.

Or don't engage. Hard if you're solo, but if with other people just engage with the person you're with. Completely ignore the confrontational person. They're going to make an ass of themselves before you do if you ignore. It is kind of fun.

Doesn't always work, but at that point of continued engagement, then you just tell the person to fuck off and you'll call the cops on them. 98% of the time they have no clue if what they're fighting for is legal. Flip the script. It's a "guideline" in 9 out of 10 places as far as I know and not a law. They could get arrested for disturbing the peace.

Biden was the ONLY world leader with a mask and no flag at this virtual summit, because America is now a parody. The internet had some thoughts on this madness.

This is a virtual meeting with world leaders. They are literally thousands of miles apart.

Joe Biden is alone, with no one within his proximity.

Joe Biden has been vaccinated.

Joe Biden is the only one wearing a freaking mask

Oh, and just for kicks, Biden is the only one without his nation's flag behind him. I guess it's hard to sport Old Glory when you and your party think America is a racist, oppressive nation built on genocide.

This is 100% political theater, like everything else the inauthentic Left stages these days.

The rest of the photo also has some fun elements to consider. For example, Putin is sitting there wondering how in the heck the USSR lost to America considering what America has now become...

Emperor Xi is just sitting back, knowing he doesn't need to listen to this climate stuff because he's probably going to built a hundred new coal plants next year and staff them with Uyghur slaves...

Canada's Justin Trudeau is carefully reviewing which liberties to take away from his subjects next week...

Know when Kruschev decided to put missiles in Cuba? When he met Kennedy and came out of that meeting thinking he was soft. (Thank God he turned out to be wrong.)
This stuff actually matters. The world’s wolves are watching. And they like what they see.

This photo is like a tombstone for a once exceptional country.

Biden yesterday: "Science is back."
Biden today: Wears a mask on a Zoom call

After the election, my dad joked that Biden had just two mandates: Not to tweet and to wear a mask on TV.
My dad is right.

He makes us look like idiots. What? Is the virus gonna jump through the computer screen? For crying out loud.

https://bucksexton.com/2021/04/fauci-is-the-most-destructive-bureaucrat-in-living-memory/

Believe it or not, Fauci is pretty dumb- but he’s not that dumb. The real reason he insists on keeping mask mandates in place for vaccinated people too is that he recognizes the minute some people can take off their masks, the whole system of panic-induced control starts to crumble.

That’s also why Fauci also won’t go on tv and tell everyone that masking outside is completely unnecessary. Even some of the libs are starting to admit this- slowly- because it’s so blaringly obvious. They can only parade so much stupidity in the name of “listening to science!.”

Fauci seems to be on tv every 5 minutes, so why won’t Fauci tell everyone the truth about outdoor masking?

Because he’s a coward, and he’s playing for Team Lockdown and Team Democrat before all else.

Wearing masks outside as a policy was always stupid, was never supported by actual infection data as a serious risk, and that libs think admitting this is some sort of concession now just shows how unhinged they’ve been all along.

But Fauci still won’t admit it. Nope.

The truth would set us free- and that’s exactly why Dr. Fauci won’t say it out loud.

Everyone has to mask up and bend the knee to Lord Fauci- or else more and more people will realize they don’t have to live on their knees anymore.

And they never should have.

The Southeast ADA Center, together with Syracuse University, released a disability issues brief titled, The ADA and Face Mask Policies, which contains the following examples of persons who might not be able to wear a face mask:

•Individuals with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other respiratory disabilities may not be able to wear a face mask because of difficulty in or impaired breathing. The CDC also states that anyone who has trouble breathing should not wear a face mask.

•People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), severe anxiety, or claustrophobia (an abnormal fear of being in enclosed or narrow places), may feel afraid or terrified when wearing a face mask. These individuals may not be able to stay calm or function when wearing a face mask.

•Some people with autism are sensitive to touch and texture. Covering the nose and mouth with fabric can cause sensory overload, feelings of panic, and extreme anxiety.

•A person who has cerebral palsy may have difficulty moving the small muscles in the hands, wrists, or fingers. Due to their limited mobility, they may not be able to tie the strings or put the elastic loops of a face mask over the ears. This means that the individual may not be able to put on or remove a face mask without assistance.

Shit, total tin foil hat, but maybe Fauci is the man behind the curtain? You control human health through non-violent means you can get them/anyone to do whatever you want under fear of death. Still confused why Trump didn't can his ass and all this was after the AIDS fiasco decades prior.

If it looks like shit and smells like it, maybe it's shit? #FauciShit

People Fully Vaccinated Against COVID-19 Don’t Need to Wear Masks Outdoors: CDC
BY ZACHARY STIEBER April 27, 2021
People who have been fully vaccinated against the virus that causes COVID-19 are no longer being advised to wear masks outdoors.

Well, it's a small step towards sanity, but it's allowed only because it preserves the massive profits of "vaccine" companies.

"Bend over and smile. You're not smiling you plebeian scum! SMILE!"

Study Finds Anyone Still Wearing A Mask At This Point Is Probably Just Super Ugly

ATLANTA, GA—The CDC has issued brand new recommendations regarding the wearing of seat belts. Health experts there are now recommending people wear a seat belt, even when outside the car.

"This guidance is especially important if you're in a large group of people at the park or an outdoor event," said Dr. Stiku Pumybum. "Risk of collisions leading to bone breaks or concussions dramatically increase in large groups of people. Billions could die!"

When pressed regarding what gives the CDC authority to comment on seat belt usage, they clarified that these were simply recommendations based on the latest scientific research, for the sake of public health. When further asked how exactly a seat belt that's not anchored to anything can protect anyone, they replied with a statement saying "SHUT UP IT'S SCIENCE!"

The Federal Government has responded with a nationwide seat belt order for all public parks, buildings, and sidewalks.

"I don't know what's so hard about this," said Biden as his aides handed him a juice box and tightened his 5-point harness. "Just wear, the dang seatbelt folks!"

Bob's Quality Seat Belt Company concurred with the CDC findings and confirmed that new "outdoor seatbelts" are now on sale for $59.99.

What a deal!

https://babylonbee.com/news/biden-wears-mask-on-zoom-call-in-case-covid-has-become-a-computer-virus

WASHINGTON, D.C.—President Joe Biden was seen wearing a mask in a climate summit with world leaders, despite his being vaccinated and despite the conference being virtual and held over Zoom. This has made some wonder if Biden even understands how a virus works, but Biden says he’s just being cautious.

“We can’t let our guard down just because we’re vaccinated and alone in a room,” Biden told reporters with a megaphone while standing twenty feet away. “See, there is this little thing called a ‘computer virus.’ Ha, I bet you thought I was some out-of-touch boomer who doesn’t know about computers. Well, for one thing, I’m too old to be a boomer -- I’m the generation before that -- and I’ve used typewriters since I was a kid -- which is a lot like a computer before you attach the TV. So I know all about computers, and they get viruses. Maybe COVID. Who knows? Better to wear a mask around them.”

Doctor Fauci agreed with Biden’s assessment. “We haven’t done any studies about coronaviruses becoming computer viruses and computer viruses transferring to humans,” Fauci said, “so we can’t rule that out. I would stay away from computers as much as possible, and if you are around a computer, put a mask over the part where the fan vents. And as I keep saying, if at all possible, please just lock yourself in a large footlocker in your basement, as that’s the safest way to ride out this pandemic.”

Others aren’t convinced and have made fun of Biden for his seemingly pointless mask-wearing with nicknames such as “Dumb Biden,” “Stupid Biden,” and “Biden -- Not a Smart Man.” Still, Biden persists with his extra caution and was last seen wearing a mask alone in the bathroom while fixing his hair. “Mirror Joe Biden could have COVID, for all I know,” he explained.

Williams said her lack of oxygen is a result of the mask she's been required to wear during competition, under OHA guidelines for outdoor sports.

“In the past, this has never happened,” Williams said. “Then this race that I was wearing a mask, it did happen, which I don't think is a coincidence."

Her coach, Dave Turnbull, echoed that belief Monday morning.

“She just ran a 2:11 in Arizona without a mask on,” Turnbull said. Three seconds faster from my experience isn’t going to cause a kid to hit the track. When you’re in a mask, it certainly does.”

Turnbull said that after 31 years of experience, he’s confident this wasn't a conditioning issue -- it was a mask issue.

"Don't breathe your own exhaust".

Does it really take 31 years of experience to know this? Stop beating around the bush.

1. A broader review of existing scientific evidence clearly shows that approved masks with correct certification, and worn in compliance with guidelines, are an effective prevention of COVID-19 transmission.

or, "Masks do work".

I saw a couple walking through the park yesterday. She wore her blue chinese exam mask on her arm just below her elbow. He wore his in his back pocket.

They weren't Using "approved masks with correct certification, and worn in compliance with guidelines".

Nobody does.

And still with the "asymptomatic" hokum!

Do you guys really believe your life will be better under communism because you supported Biden?

"Masks reduce spread" is not an absolute statement :-)

Would you like to quantify that?

Didn't think so.

Who the fuck does all this? I have never seen anybody, everybody has their little home made rags or dust masks on. Attitudes have deteriorated into perfunctory mask management in general, yanking them off and stuffing them in pockets as soon as they are out the door.
They are going to have to do better that the !INDIA PANIC! if they expect to gin up more worry here.

Not done in a real world public health setting; done with swabs in a lab.

Every real world public health survey says the exact opposite: Masks have no impact on virus spreading.

Every. Single. One. For. Decades. (inc. during Corona)

Be suspicious of anyone promoting outdoor masks because there has not been one single documented casual outdoor transmission anywhere on earth.

Not one.

Indoor masks reduce spittle, but that's about all. Check out the videos of vapers wearing masks.

One quick meta thing.

Leftists LOVE any crisis that requires regulation and obedience (Pandemics, Global Warming).

Rightists DREAM about crisis that increase freedom and reduce regulation (ie Complete breakdown of Gov)

True.

I think it also corresponds mostly to a split between women (plus gay or effeminate men) and normal men.

Women and gay or effeminate men feel the need for regulations and obedience because they feel weak. They fear normal men.

Normal men know that freedom and low regulation is all they need to succeed.

Daily cases had been level until mask mandates kicked in on a totally new virus around June last year. This is indisputable here in the US and the rest of the world. No one is studying if the mask causes MORE spread. The science has said they don't stop it. The thing no one is studying is if the masks themselves cause the spread. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

The graphs themselves show the obvious. We still saw a rise during a time when UV should knock out a virus, summer AND we were mandated to wear masks to stop the spread. This is in defiance of two known scientific facts. Mask don't work and flu season ends around late May. Decades of science just goes out the window? That's what is being argued here?

No one on this forum to date has personally know someone that died as far as I recall. A family member or good friend. Someone you actually see multiple times a year. It's all a co-worker or friend of a friend info. This is a joke...

Covid is airborne, reducing droplets doesn't do shit. You need to reduce aerosols which you can't below n95/p100 with exhaust valve.

This fellow has many charts on his twitter account showing states and country level mandates and cases/deaths over time, with some overlapped to show correlation, along with some news headlines and comments from moronic politicians and other empty heads.

He also did a brief text on the flu disappearing and the unbelievable claim that it was "because of masks".
