I got a bunch of N95’s early in February 2020 when I was living with my elderly diabetic dad and would clean shave, fit test, and wear them when I would go into a large grocery store when I needed to buy his groceries. As soon as I got outside, I’d wrap it in a paper bag and trash it. People looked at me like a freak. A month or two later, I’d see those same people yelling at me to “just wear the damn mask,” while themselves going hours on wearing nasty cloth diapers on their faces with pores larger than the virus collecting sweat, mucus and spittle.
Went into a Publix in Tennessee in July of 2020 and there was a door attendant who insisted I take and put on a surgical mask. After I checked out, I exited the store to see a parking lot covered almost every square inch with used blue surgical masks. Deadliest disease in history and they couldn’t even set up biohazard collection bins to collect the fomites--if this virus is nearly as contagious or dangerous as you say it is than everyone of those discarded masks is a disease booby trap.
Those two incidents stick with me as all the proof I need that the masks were never about public health. And Fauci’s FOIA’d emails are a nice validation of course. If the Fauci’s of the world thought the masks would help, they would have had a public education campaign to teach people how to select, fit test and wear them, signs reminding you not to touch them or your face, let you know you have to be clean shaven--the reason Civil War soldiers had glorious beards but WWI soldiers could at most have a Hitler mustache is they had to have a good seal with their gas masks--and set up biohazard waste bins at every door so you’d safely dispose of the things after leaving a building. It probably still wouldn’t have accomplished anything, but at least you would have known they were taking it seriously as a mitigation measure rather than just using it as an obedience and control measure.
And that’s exactly what it was. What this woman said--her dad suffocating her as a form of abuse. That’s what the government has been doing to all of us for years. Worse than that even. By March 2020 I was publicly saying that unless your already sick or incredibly old then COVID-19 is basically a cold. Forcing me to mask was a way to force me to publicly endorse the “this is the new Black Plague” narrative, to actively assist in my own humiliation and oppression.
My condolences. I, too, was a lifelong Democrat who lost friends and family when I quickly realized that masks and vaccines don't work. I did not participate in the hoax. The evidence is out there, but for some reason they don't want to see it. I have a job now where masks and vax are not required. I live fairly normally. I still see clueless people driving and living in masks. So sad.
When I was young, I experienced trauma as a sensitive child receiving vaccinations from thoughtless medical people, including during a miserable hospital stay. Then, as a teen going away to college, I had to get shots and bloodwork (required for college) all in the same appointment. I had the ill misfortune to have a new nurse who tried 8 times to find and pierce my vein (missing every time) before she finally went and found another nurse who found my vein on the first try.
I went out to my car afterwards and sobbed. I had planned for years to become a nurse because I cared and had wanted to be a different kind of nurse than most were. But that day I gave up that dream. I couldn't handle more trauma.
When the covid vaccines came out and it turned into this nastiness where I was afraid to be discovered by neighbors and aquaintances in my blue state, it felt like a nightmare come true. You can't fully understand unless you've experienced it, but this was my area of trauma (I'd had others I sucessfully recovered from) that seemed immovable, impossible to dislodge. I began to feel frightened of the people around me in my neighborhood and shops, etc. because I realized these were people who would hate me for not being vaccinated, who would show not one ounce of mercy or consideration or empathy. It terrified me to realize people were like that.
I felt unsafe and though we did not move, I have never felt the same again about where I live. Just knowing these people can morph suddenly into mini tyrants who put aside all their humanity is distressing in and of itself. I can't unknow that now that I know.
Thankfully, I had a church community where even though most chose to be vaccinated, they took seriously the requirements of service to Christ that we love others. And so vaccinated and unvaccinated were able to go on loving each other in my church and it felt like a lifeline during what was otherwise a very frightening time for me.
Good grief. It's an epidemic of extreme pussiness and cowardliness. I'm in that very small group (non-partisan, it includes the entire political spectrum including ex-Democrats and progressives) who openly protested the restrictions and refused to wear "face coverings" in a deep blue area. Some with the same problem, can't wear a mask because of medical issues. I had zombies screaming into my face "I want you to die" but I'm a strong and brave person, I stand my ground. And when having our rallies, challenging government officials, canvassing our crime ridden neighborhoods, we keep wondering why those 70-80% or so disillusioned with the official message won't join us. Here is why. "White liberal" is a culture, not just an affiliation with the Democrat party and other Democrats. Always the biggest victim, everything is "not safe", and government (or people with bigger balls) are responsible to fix things. I had freedom friends moving out of state, but their primary reasons were loss of a job, unaffordable prices, real estate. Not being "uncomfortable". And they didn't stop fighting. But many people can't afford to move and don't work remove jobs. What kind of "left" stopped caring about the working class (who need more than free food), small business owners, crime, homelessness? Just all this whining about "disillusion". Meh.
I am torn. It’s people like the author who by their own ignorance in their voting that has given the Democrats the power to steal our liberties using Covid as the excuse. I however feel for her on a personal level and pray that she and her family find peace and happiness and finally realize that voting Democratic ever again is a grave mistake that threatens our country.
My sympathies, my empathy for you. I used to vote Liberal and thought Justin Trudeau was not bad for a Prime Minister. Then came that shift into totalitarianism. My three adult children turned away and rejected my years of providing maternal wisdom and knowledge as if all of it was retroactively tainted by my current stand against masks, isolation and jabs. The formerly supportive, inclusive non-profit nursing home, run by a community council, where my elderly demented mother has lived since 2019, made rules to fire all employees who refused the jab and now forbids me to visit or care for her because I refused the jabs and am allergic to whatever toxins are in those disposable hospital masks and gel sanitizers. Prior to these rules I visited her every single day and provided care for her. My mother is not jabbed either. Yet she can freely mingle with the jabbed residents and staff, unmasked, and I am barred. There is no ethical or scientific justification for the rule. It is ludicrously illogical, horribly cruel to both of us. The political became excruciatingly personal. At times the loss is unbearable.
My husband and I feel in love with this small island community on our honeymoon. We have been back many times and each trip ends up including real estate browsing. It is like a little dream where people know everyone, nobody locks anything and if you need to get somewhere a stranger will literally lend you their car. I have dreamed about my kids growing up here in this safe, peaceful community, surrounded by nature... Then COVID. The community has a strong liberal lean, and it also had an overrepresented senior community so they were very happy to shut down and really jump on board the COVID train. Everyone shut down and then religiously masked and vaxxed. There was outright hostility towards those who might have a different perspective. The COVID stuff has relaxed now but politically things have only gotten so much more polarized and openly hostile towards those with perspectives like my family. I morn the loss of my dream community to the COVID driven political machine.
Very sorry to hear this woman’s story but happy for her that she got out of her miserable living situation. This was all so unnecessary… the constant fear propaganda, lies and demonization of those of us who questioned the madness on masks, treatments, the “settled science” and questioned everything about the narrative that was shoved down our throats. I feel so fortunate to live in a pocket of Southern California, specifically Huntington Beach, where so many of us questioned every aspect of the scam and pushed back. My wife and I were many times one of the few and sometimes the only ones not wearing masks at government approved business that were allowed to open during the I’ll perceived lockdowns (grocery stores, Costco, etc.). I made sure to make eye contact with any and all obedient mask wearers, smiling at them, daring them to question my bare face. Never happened. The gratifying element being that we would usually give others the courage to take off their masks in the store. We all need to stand up for wand preserve our individual liberty and it is our patriotic duty to push back on and defy unjust laws and decrees. Those who pushed this crap, politicians, government administrators, the media, all need to be held accountable for their lies and all of the lives ruined by their destructive and unnecessary actions. Investigations and trials are the only path towards healing, learning and preventing this from ever happening again.
What’s truly sad here is that the mask Karens never gave a flying fig about her reasons. It’s just so what gov says or you’re a ruthless germ that should be isolated for life. That’s the crap that pisses me off the most.
I experienced covid as treachery, cruelty and great loss. The whole thing did not make sense to me so I started booking down to try and understand what was going on. I quickly found this was a fraud thanks to researchers in finance, various medical specialties, the law and propaganda.
So I took the information I had found, really high quality information by well known people, to my commissioners so that they could look into it and stop scaring the s*(t out of people in our community, not close businesses and get on with life. They had no interest whatsoever and looking at any of it, not one bit. The continued to scare our community to death and to disseminate clearly incorrect information. Our local newspaper and NPR station did the same.
This got me in a lot of trouble w/the "important" people in my area. Dealing with them was terrifying and they were not above using "law" enforcement to try to scare me into silence. Even though this was personally very scary the most personally evil thing I dealt with was having one of these important people as a friend. When I went to ask for help, she said her reputation was more important to her than doing the right thing. She said it. Her husband is Jewish. No lesson learned by her about that!
Because everyone was so terrified they treated children horribly. Children were masked and later injected by frightened adults who stopped being adults and made children "protect" them. Other people did not come out of their home for over a year. People wore masks and are now having many teeth replaced, all of them in one case. This was so vicious it is unbearable to see it happening.
When the injections came, cars lined up clear back to wear my home is. I almost threw up. I knew there was no informed consent. I had begged my commissioners to provide it and they wouldn't do that. Instead they served food to anyone who got a shot. The only thing more horrible than that was watching the parents take their young children in for a shot. That was/is devastating. And all of this flew from one thing to another.
Had my commissioners looked into the facts. Had they followed our clear law, had they calmed people down with real information, had they given informed consent, all those people would not have taken injections or given them to their children. So many people are dead and many others disabled.
A few of us tried to give the truth but we were overwhelmed by powerful people in this place. It did not have to be this way.
Agree I am a cancer survivor who could not wear a mask during Chemo 6 years ago and did well life is too short to not do it your way in spite of what others think I still refused to wear a mask but I was on the other side if someone lectured me they go it right back because if masks worked my family would have been asked to wear a mask for my health and if my circle of friends believed what they preached during Covid then they too would have worn a mask while I was compromised but they did not 🙏 she is free as I am and very happy 😃

This touches a chord for me!

Sounds like fled San Francisco to Austin.

I am saddened by your story. We need to fight back against this hysteria cult.
Before this ends the compliant must suffer greatly, and by then it will be too late for most of them.
They will bring them back! The GOP is talking about a law which would outlaw Mandatory vaccines and masks…but Biden would probably veto it!
