The mass formation madness must stop.
Masks, closures, mandates and kids. Our children require better.

Robert W Malone MD, MS

My wife, Jill used to work at the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park for the research unit called CRES (The Center for Research on Endangered Species) in the late 1980s. She did primary behavior research on mother-infant dyads, both as an intern and later as an employee. In particular, she was involved in behavioral studies involving Lion-tailed macaques, which are an endangered species of monkey from India. The purpose of the research was to find ways to increase the emotional well being of the animals, as some of these monkeys have significant issues breeding in captivity.

There was one mother named Polly and her infant daughter Dewa which were particularly interesting. Polly would let her infant girl nurse for a while and when she was tired of it, she would pull her off her nipple and literally hold Dewa’s head to the concrete floor for about 30 seconds. Dewa would scream and chitter - with her little arms and legs flaying around. Then Polly would suddenly let her go and the infant would run screaming away from her. It was horrifying to watch.

Jill observed this pair through infancy. She continued to observe as Dewa grew up and had an infant son of her own. One day, when the little boy monkey was quite small, Dewa got tired of the baby nursing. She literally pulled him off and held him firmly to the ground as he squirmed and screamed- just as her mother had done to her.

The effects of abuse, neglect and harms done to children can and will pass through generations. Often, these long-term effects on the person are unknown until the person is grown up and has children of their own.

Our children are our future. They must be protected from heavy handed, ineffective policies that marginally protect adults over the well being of our more precious asset. Our children. Let me write it again for emphasis… our children are our future.

I have written and spoken out about vaccine mandates for children and why they are wrong. Children are rarely at risk of severe disease from COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 and almost all deaths of children have been those with co-morbidities. The vaccines have a high adverse event profile in children that has not been fully analyzed. This is reason enough to not allow mandates, even State government or regional school board mandates. But I have not written as much about masks, school closures, and the selfishness of teacher’s unions, who are more interested in protecting themselves than children.

Children are at very little risk from COVID-19 severe disease. Most kids in the USA now have natural immunity, many have been vaccinated, and Omicron is nothing more than a cold for the vast majority of children and adults. Even during Delta, children rarely develop severe COVID-19 disease. They have strong, healthy immune systems. This disease is stratified by age and co-morbidities. We all know this by now. Furthermore, neither masks nor vaccines prevent infection, replication or transmission of the Omicron strain of SARS-CoV-2.

There is no reason to mask children in schools. There is no reason to mask children in shops, restaurants, parks, after school program, etc. There is no reason for children to have plexiglass shields around them in the class room. There is no reason why we need to deny children exercise programs, sports, after school care and physical education. It is time to end social distancing programs and let kids be kids. Children are social beings. Having normal social interactions with other people, with other children is critical to growing up in a health environment. Social isolation of children is not ok. Sports, after school program, childcare, recreational activities and extracurricular activities need to return to normalcy.

One important way children learn is by mimicry. Facial expressions of friends, teachers, mentors, parents not only are important for speech development, they are important for children to learn emotional norms and behaviors. We do not know what damage we are doing by masking. At this point, long term effects are unknown.

Furthermore, the COVID-19 unvaccinated children must be treated no differently than any other child. It is not anyone’s business other than the parent’s whether a child is vaccinated for COVID-19 or not. American’s have a fundamental right to privacy and there is no exclusionary clause for people younger than a certain age. Unvaccinated children or unmasked children should not be segregated, shamed or put in special rooms. They should not be excluded from the playground or sports activities. Society, our government, is doing an unprecedented and known amount of damage to the healthy development of our children. This has to stop.

COVID-19 testing of our school children needs to end. Not only is it a medical procedure that is being forced upon children, often without their permission, it is not needed. It is uncomfortable and more than that, it is a violation of their bodies. This is particularly true when schools and other social institutions are forcing this test upon children because of their vaccination status.

As the Biden administration doubles down on masks, testing and vaccines for children, people are waking up. The democrats are creating an army of new republicans and independent families, who are currently and will be voting in the future at the midterms.


That's a 14-percentage point swing from a nine-point Democratic advantage to a five-point GOP edge, and among the largest advantages the GOP has ever held in Gallup polling.

As we travel around the country, speaking a conferences, churches, summits and rallies, we hear from parents over and over again phrases like this.

“I used to be a democrat, but now I don’t think I will ever be able to vote for a democrat again.”

“ I don’t know what I am anymore.”

“I am questioning everything I use to believe about the democratic party”

The science is very clear on our children. The data is clear. Children need to be allowed to have normal childhoods. Our parents who are paying attention know this.

Our children are our most precious assets.

If you doubt what I am saying, then Listen to their stories.

And then listen to what a pediatric cardiologist and a pediatric psychiatrist have to say about this.

What we are doing is wrong. It must stop. Now. The damage already done will last for decades.

The Science Behind Taking Off the Mask

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience".C.S.Lewis

Don't go back.

curve separation is minimal and as can be seen, “no mandate” outperformed slightly.

this pretty much puts paid to the “but it would have been worse!” nope. there’s just no difference to speak of and such difference as exists leans against mask mandate.

and nope, N-95’s would not have helped either. they work just the same as other masks, which is to say, not at all.

I've said it before, masks probably do stop some transfer of the virus. The problem lies in the fact you're touching your face probably 10-20x's as much adjusting a mask. You're then potentially putting viral load on your mask and breathing it in all day.

Besides your ass for AIDS, you should really touch your face as little as possible besides things like shaving, putting contacts in, washing, etc. Your mouth and nose are the most likely points of viral infection and we're asking people to touch their faces to adjust a mask exponentially more than normal.

California High School Barricades Maskless Children in Gym, Staffer Turns Down Thermostat to “Freeze Them Out”

Oakdale, California – High School students at Oakdale Joint Unified School District began protesting the state’s mask mandate after Governor Newsom was spotted at a 49ers-Rams game without a mask on.

“If they don’t follow by their own rules that they’re trying to force upon me, why should I follow them,” an Oakdale High School student told CBS 13.




Brave high schoolers showed up to school without masks this week and the far-left school staffers used lunch tables to barricade the children in the school’s gym.

Getting reports that after hundreds protested against school mask mandates yesterday, today, @OakdaleJUSD barricaded any student not properly wearing a mask in the gym and refused to turn on the heat. Police were called for a wellness check and police turned on the heat.

The police were called to conduct a welfare check after a school staff member turned down the thermostat to “freeze them out.”

A school officer conducted a welfare check and concluded it was not a police matter so the abuse is not currently under police investigation.

Update: Confirmed staff attempted to barricade the maskless high schoolers in the gym by putting tables in front of the exits. A staff member also was caught turning down the thermostat to “freeze them out.”

After escaping the freezing gym, the students marched to the district headquarters in protest.

God bless these children.

I am so dang impressed with these kids who refused to wear masks at a Washington school and the remarkable young man who led them

That young man is a leader. The kind of leader we sorely and desperately need in America right now.

It's so encouraging to see these kids fight back against the cowardly adults who want them to get with the program. If mask mandates have a silver lining, it's all the free-thinking, based kids that are starting to rage against the machine. The ramifications of a generation that doesn't buy into the Narrative™ are huge.

Here were the students brushing past a staff worker who whined impotently that they needed to take a mask to come inside the school ...

Keep it up, kids! ✊

Kidnapping, forced imprisonment and inhumane conditions? How the fuck are these adults not in jail?

If a private company tried this?

When Bill DeJong went to pay his employees at Billy’s Café in Burlington last month, he suffered a gut punch after opening his bank account.

Nearly $8,700 needed for payroll was gone, DeJong told The Dori Monson Show. It was seized by the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) over what the agency says are COVID “safety citations.”

Chehalis restaurant that racked up $400,000 in fines over COVID rules to close permanently

Over the past few months, DeJong says, L&I slapped him with more than $367,000 in fines over refusing to adhere to Gov. Inslee’s mask mandates. But the café owner objects to what he calls the state’s “crazy rules,” and says dining at his restaurant is “up to Americans and I am not telling them what to do.”

“I want to make sure we’re clear: When [COVID] first happened, I shut down like everybody else,” DeJong said. “I was worried about the safety of my employees, my customers, my family.”

But after months of following rules that DeJong says were “super confusing – ‘wear your mask when you sit down, but then when you get up, but not when you’re eating’” — he said his crew decided that “Americans will decide what’s best for them and their health,” and they dropped the mask mandate.

“I’m totally fine if people don’t want to come in here,” DeJong said. “You have a choice if you want to come into my café, if you want to get something to go, if you want to get it delivered – or if you want to sit down and have a cup of coffee with us.”

That’s when visits from state L&I officers started at the Skagit County business he’s owned since 2014.

“They wanted to ‘educate me’ – those where their words,” DeJong said.

But the daily fines accumulated from $2,000 to now more than $367,000.

Playing devil’s advocate, Dori asked DeJong if it wouldn’t have just been easier to make dine-in guests wear a mask between the door and the table.

“To the veteran who comes in – who sacrificed a lot more than many of us ever had – to tell him what he can or cannot do, or where he cannot sit, or whether he cannot have a cup of coffee? That is not my café, and that’s not America,” DeJong responded.

“I’m not dumb. I know this is a battle,” he said. “It’s against the state, and it’s not going to be easy, and it’s going to be uphill and it’s going to be tough. … We are willing to fight this battle.”

“We’re getting a ton of support from other people in Skagit County, and even across the nation now,” he added. “My job now is to let people know what’s going on and fight the good fight.”

A document published by the World Health Organisation in 2019 framed the results of these studies in no uncertain terms: “there was no evidence that face masks are effective in reducing transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza”. It’s unsurprising, then, that when the CDC briefed reporters on the pandemic in February of 2020, masking was not even mentioned among the NPIs that might be deployed. The UK government, too, stated early in 2020 that there was no evidence to support masking.

Remember, folks, correlation is not causation. Except when very old and frail (unvaccinated) people die of Covid.

Then it absolutely is.

My kids school district pulled the plug on masks last night. They no longer have to wear them at school. My oldest has set our bin of masks for them by the fireplace... lol. I think the teachers might have a rough day today though, we'll see. It's an easy test to see who has been brainwashed the most. Knowing my town I'd think most kids won't be wearing them or some maybe didn't see the email yet.

There's always a parent(s) that is going to have a problem with this. Fortunately I'm in a fuck the government type town so hopefully it's a "peaceful" transition to no mask at the school.

People have to freakin' sue on this.
