Masks and dis- mal- information

It's no wonder people don't trust the "fact checkers." Anyone can read the label on the box of the masks we've all been wearing for 2 years. We can see the photo of the label which Politifact gives a "false." Then the checker does double back flips to tell us not to believe our eyes, or common sense. Or even me who told you almost 2 years ago there was no peer-reviewed research on mask efficacy and safety published before the current epidemic. I was checking every 2 weeks for anything that could justify muzzling children (aka child abuse) and loyal Americans. Zip. Nada. Zilch.

I also suggested two years ago using a mask to protect yourself if you are high risk with co-morbidities (like me), and I was ridiculed and declared a hater for not wanting to protect others. Yet, that is also now being promoted as a reason to wear flimsy masks by both the CDC and medical web sites.

Yesterday I was given a small N95 mask at Marc's, a grocery store, brand Moldex. Impossible to use and has staples next to skin. Probably meant to be stored at the workplace, but won't fit into a pocket or purse, or side tray in a car. There are 2 elastic bands for holding it to the head with collapse resistant Dura-Mesh® shell and soft foam nose cushion. It read, Warning: Misuse may result in sickness or death. IMO, if used properly you could suffocate.

Mask mandates and research

Anyone can make mistakes, but when I think of the people who had their lives and careers upended it really makes me angry. I mean, how many people would have been saved (or made worse) if those in power hadn't been so greedy and denied them therapeutics like Ivermectin and HCQ.

Even today, even against their governor's orders, there are schools preventing children from attending if they don't wear masks in classroom, on the bus, on the playground. They want to punish the parents--but are hurting the kids. There's not a shred of peer reviewed research that shows masks work, and particularly not the flimsy flopsy ones made in China from fossil fuel (polypropylene) that are littering our streets, malls and yards. God only knows what's going into their lungs. Now Biden says he'll roll out 400 million N95's (because those being worn for 2 years did nothing to protect us except start fights by Karens and snowflakes). More damage to children.
