It does not even matter whether masks “work” on the epidemiological level, because face masks dehumanise, and us such undermine the ideal that underpins the epidemiological reasons for masking: https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/the-face-of-humanity

Heck, the way it looks is that masking and vaccinating children because of Covid looks like "intent to harm."

Thanks for sending this out. The WSJ just did a story that says that Masks are effective in lowering risk from the flu and RSV virus's I would assume that they are just as small as the Coruna virus and totally ineffective.

Masking will continue until we make it illegal to do so. FOR ANYBODY!

I don't want to make it illegal, getting the state involved is what got us all into this mess. What I would do is for places that mandate masking, make your views known, do not comply whenever possible, and make it more and more a hassle for them to have to enforce it.

I do. Mask wearing has NO benefit and multiple deficits. Anything, especially a "medical device" that causes harm physically, mentally and societally (& the lists are long for all 3) should not be allowed. Wearing it perpetuates a lie and gives a false sense of protection that has their own dangers. Then there's OSHA standards or the ADA..

So does that include making illegal face masks, Halloween masks, etc? I get that you are upset about masks, I am as well. But the problem has been the state. That's why I have been very retiscient to invoke the state to go against masking, because they should not be involved at all.

Jimmy, don't be ridiculous. You know I'm talking medical masks that are promoted as preventative. The state is the issue with ALL of it. Tyranny and fascism that I' never thought I'd see. "Recommendations" become edicts that become defacto laws. Do you know about industrial hygienists? Did you know it was Illigal to cover your face if you had a conceal carry license? Did you know rape victims who had trauma from having their mouth covered couldn't fly or go to a restaurant because they couldn't wear masks? Do you know of all the health, mental and physical, dangers of wearing masks? Do you know of the massive societal issues? No. Partial tyranny and 100% lies that are detrimental must be outlawed.

I know exactly what you are talking about, but do you think the state knows what you are talking about? Do you think the state can make informed, sane, rational, nuanced laws about masking?

So, if I am "hoping" to get kicked of Twitter, posting this Infographic is my best hope? I am relatively certain that my engagement is low enough, either due to luck or from back-channel shenanigans, that me posting it will have absolutely no effect. We might have to find out, now that one can schedule threads with Buffer!
