Some Quotes on Stupidity or Some Stupid Quotes
One things that history teaches us is that we should never underestimate human stupidity.
The two most common elements in the world are hydrogen and stupidity.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink―you can lead an ass to knowledge, but you can’t make it think!
He that reads and grows no wiser, rarely suspects his own deficiency, but complains of hard words and difficult sentences, and asks why books are written which cannot be understood. If you never exercise the mind, you will remain stupid!
Everyone has a brain and everyone has a tongue―but they are not always connected! The tongue works, but the brain doesn’t!

Seeds of Stupidity
You have no doubt read or heard Our Lord’s parable about the Wheat and the Cockle―where the enemy sows cockle amongst the wheat. Likewise with the parable of the Sower of the Seed―where not all seed bears fruit, but some is taken away by the birds of air, whom Our Lord says are the devils. Add to that the parable about the Wise and Foolish Virgins. In a sense you could combine all these three and come up with a parable about Satan the Sower of the Seed of Stupidity! If there are two seeds that Satan likes to sow, it is the seeds of stupidity and ignorance―both produce a plentiful harvest of souls for Hell. Ultimately, you have to be really stupid to end up in Hell―and it helps if you are blissfully ignorant of your stupidity as you make your way there! Just as in Our Lord’s parable of the Mustard Seed, which He says is the smallest of seeds that grows into one of the biggest plants, so too with stupidity―a little stupidity will go a long way, and a little stupid child can grown into a big stupid man or woman!
You could say that the Patron ‘Saint’ of Stupidity is the Patron Satan of Stupidity. Satan was the most gifted of all angels, his intelligence would have been higher than that of all the other angels―yet he committed the most stupid fault, his stupidity lost him Heaven and gained for him Hell. From the highest to the lowest―the higher they are, the bigger the fall; the bigger they are, the harder they fall. After the stupidity of his fall through stupid disobedience, he sowed the same seed of stupid disobedience in Adam and Eve―and they fell too! However, their fall was not into Hell, but into death. Death is the wage of sin (Romans 6:23) and sin is the wage of stupidity! Just as “all have sinned, and do need the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), likewise all are stupid and need the wisdom of God―“the number of fools is infinite!” (Ecclesiastes 1:15).
The Entropy of Stupidity―or the Making of Mushy Minds
Albert Einstein (1879–1955), the German-born theoretical physicist, said that there are only two things that are infinite―first, the universe; secondly, human stupidity. Though that could be debated on the grounds of what exactly do you mean by the term “infinite”―there is no possible debate on the stupidity of man. You could almost say that stupidity is part and parcel of Original Sin―Eve was stupid to listen to Satan, and Adam was stupid to listen to Eve―neither chose to listen to God.
Rudolf Clausius (1822–1888), the German physicist and mathematician and one of the central founders of the science of thermodynamics, in which he introduced the concept of entropy― a law of physics which in simplistic terms means that says that everything slowly goes to disorder (higher entropy) unless there is outside intervention to restore order (and lower the entropy). You could, in the broad sense, say that the lack of common sense or the increase in stupidity is an inevitable result of the law of entropy in the human mind―for the mind, if left to itself, without the outside intervention of sound, logical, truthful information in the form of good reading or good education, inevitably deteriorates and weakens the mind, leading to ignorance, stupidity and lack of common sense.
If you want that saying slightly more technically―but still simplistically―then Entropy is a measure of how much the atoms in a substance are free to spread out, move around, and arrange themselves in random and even chaotic ways. The lower the entropy―the more stable and orderly something is. The higher the entropy―the most unstable and chaotic a thing becomes. For instance, when a substance changes from a solid (low entropy) to a liquid (high entropy), such as ice (low entropy) to water (high entropy), the atoms in whatever substance you are looking at, get more freedom to move around randomly and chaotically. You can see this by the way that water (which has high entropy) can slosh around, but ice (which has lower entropy) is a solid stable object. Because those atoms have more freedom, they are more likely to be randomly and chaotically arranged. And so, we can say that water has higher entropy than ice.
Today, in the mind and intelligence of people, we are witnessing increasing entropy―meaning an increase in random, unstable and chaotic thinking. The stability of logic is lost and illogical thinking and illogical thoughts are finding increasing acceptance among the increasingly weak-minded population who have been dumbed-down by chaotic and unstable education. Truth is no longer the stable, firm, unchangeable objective reality that truth should be―but has become an ever-changing, random, chaotic, personal perception that differs from one person to another and is no longer based on the truth that exists outside of the person and exists independently of every person, but is now based on personal perceptions, personal interpretation, personal preferences, personal advantage, personal opinion. When you have 7.8 billion such personal opinions of truth, you have chaos and stupidity!
Pride Begets Stupidity and Keeps Us Stupid
Some people believe in God, some don’t. Some people believe in an afterlife, others don’t. Some people believe Earth is billions of years old, some don’t. Some people believe in Evolution and that we evolved from whatever, others don’t. Some people believe there is life on other planets, some don’t. Some people believe that wearing a rabbit’s foot will bring luck, others don’t. The people on this planet are pretty much divided in many beliefs―and the cause of those divisions are many and varied. It can be that some people study the facts, while others don’t. Or it could be that some are better educated than others. Or that some are more naïve and gullible than others. Or that some think deeper than others. Yet at the end of the day, everyone believes that their beliefs are the true ones. Pride is often the root cause for our errors and our stupidity. We are too proud to admit that we don’t know something; too proud to admit we don’t understand something; too proud to admit we are wrong―which brings to mind the fairytale of Hans Christian Anderson about the Emperor’s New Suit of Clothes (or the Emperor’s Invisible Suit of Clothes, or Emperor With No Clothes, or by whatever other name you know it). Here is one version of it―to which we will add the word “stupid” as referring to the Emperor:
The Stupid Emperor’s New Suit of Invisible Clothes
Many years ago there was an Emperor so exceedingly fond of new clothes that he spent all his money on being well dressed. He had a coat for every hour of the day. In the great city where he lived, life was always joyful and entertaining. Every day many strangers came to town, and among them one day came two swindlers. They let it be known they were weavers, and they said they could weave the most magnificent fabrics imaginable. Not only were their colors and patterns uncommonly fine, but clothes made of this cloth had a wonderful way of becoming invisible to anyone who was unfit for his office, or who was unusually stupid.
“Those would be just the clothes for me,” thought the Emperor. “If I wore them I would be able to discover which men in my empire are unfit for their posts. And I could tell the wise men from the fools. Yes, I certainly must get some of the stuff woven for me right away.” He paid the two swindlers a large sum of money to start work at once.
They set up two looms and pretended to weave, though there was nothing on the looms. All the finest silk and the purest old thread which they demanded went into their traveling bags, while they worked the empty looms far into the night.
“I’d like to know how those weavers are getting on with the cloth,” the Emperor thought, but he felt slightly uncomfortable when he remembered that those who were unfit for their position would not be able to see the fabric. It couldn’t have been that he doubted himself, yet he thought he’d rather send someone else to see how things were going. The whole town knew about the cloth’s peculiar power, and all were impatient to find out how stupid their neighbors were.
“I’ll send my honest old minister to the weavers,” the Emperor decided. “He’ll be the best one to tell me how the material looks, for he’s a sensible man and no one does his duty better.” So the honest old minister went to the room where the two swindlers sat working away at their empty looms. “Heaven help me!” he thought as his eyes flew wide open, “I can’t see anything at all!” But he did not say so.
Both the swindlers begged him to be so kind as to come near to approve the excellent pattern, the beautiful colors. They pointed to the empty looms, and the poor old minister stared as hard as he dared. He couldn’t see anything, because there was nothing to see. “Heaven have mercy!” he thought. “Can it be that I’m a fool? I’d have never guessed it, and not a soul must know. Am I unfit to be the minister? It would never do to let on that I can’t see the cloth.”
“Don’t hesitate to tell us what you think of it,” said one of the weavers.
“Oh, it’s beautiful! It’s enchanting!” The old minister peered through his spectacles. “Such a pattern, what colors! I’ll be sure to tell the Emperor how delighted I am with it.”
“We’re pleased to hear that!” the swindlers said. They proceeded to name all the colors and to explain the intricate pattern. The old minister paid the closest attention, so that he could tell it all to the Emperor. And so he did.
The swindlers at once asked for more money, more silk and gold thread, to get on with the weaving. But it all went into their pockets. Not a thread went into the looms, though they worked at their weaving as hard as ever.
The Emperor presently sent another trustworthy official to see how the work progressed and how soon it would be ready. The same thing happened to him that had happened to the minister. He looked and he looked, but as there was nothing to see in the looms he couldn’t see anything.
“Isn’t it a beautiful piece of cloth?” the swindlers asked him, as they displayed and described their imaginary pattern.
“I know I’m not stupid,” the man thought, “so it must be that I’m unworthy of my good office. That’s strange. I mustn’t let anyone find it out, though.” So he praised the material which he could not see. He declared he was delighted with the beautiful colors and the exquisite pattern. To the Emperor he said, “It held me spellbound!”
All the town was talking of this splendid cloth, and the Emperor wanted to see it for himself while it was still in the looms. Attended by a band of chosen men, among whom were his two old trusted officials―the ones who had been to the weavers―he set out to see the two swindlers. He found them weaving with might and main, but without a thread in their looms.
“Magnificent!” said the two officials already duped. “Just look, Your Majesty, what colors! What a design!” They pointed to the empty looms, each supposing that the others could see the stuff.
“What’s this?” thought the Emperor. “I can’t see anything. This is terrible! Am I a fool? Am I unfit to be the Emperor? What a thing to happen to me of all people!” … “Oh! It’s very pretty!” he said. “It has my highest approval!” And he nodded approbation at the empty loom. Nothing could make him say that he couldn’t see anything.
His whole retinue stared and stared. One saw no more than another, but they all joined the Emperor in exclaiming, “Oh! It’s very pretty!” and they advised him to wear clothes made of this wonderful cloth especially for the great procession he was soon to lead. “Magnificent! Excellent! Unsurpassed!” were words bandied from mouth to mouth, and everyone did his best to seem well pleased. The Emperor gave each of the swindlers a cross to wear in his buttonhole, and the title of “Sir Weaver.”
Before the procession the swindlers sat up all night and burned more than six candles, to show how busy they were finishing the Emperor’s new clothes. They pretended to take the cloth off the loom. They made cuts in the air with huge scissors. And at last they said, “Now the Emperor’s new clothes are ready for him!”
Then the Emperor himself came with his noblest noblemen, and the swindlers each raised an arm as if they were holding something. They said, “These are the trousers, here’s the coat, and this is the mantle,” naming each garment. “All of them are as light as a spider web. One would almost think he had nothing on, but that’s what makes them so fine.”
“Exactly!” all the noblemen agreed, though they could see nothing, for there was nothing to see.
“If Your Imperial Majesty will condescend to take your clothes off,” said the swindlers, “we will help you on with your new ones here in front of the long mirror.”
The Emperor undressed, and the swindlers pretended to put his new clothes on him, one garment after another. They took him around the waist and seemed to be fastening something ―that was his train―as the Emperor turned round and round before the looking glass.
“How well Your Majesty’s new clothes look! Aren’t they becoming!” He heard on all sides, “That pattern, so perfect! Those colors, so suitable! It is a magnificent outfit.”
Then the minister of public processions announced: “Your Majesty’s canopy is waiting outside!”
“Well, I’m supposed to be ready,” the Emperor said, and turned again for one last look in the mirror. “It is a remarkable fit, isn’t it?” He seemed to regard his costume with the greatest interest.
The noblemen who were to carry his train stooped low and reached for the floor as if they were picking up his mantle. Then they pretended to lift and hold it high. They didn’t dare admit they had nothing to hold.
So off went the Emperor in procession under his splendid canopy. Everyone in the streets and the windows said, “Oh, how fine are the Emperor’s new clothes! Don’t they fit him to perfection? And see his long train!” Nobody would confess that he couldn’t see anything, for that would prove him either unfit for his position, or a fool. No costume the Emperor had worn before was ever such a complete success.
“But he hasn’t got anything on!” a little child said.
“Did you ever hear such innocent prattle?” said its father. And one person whispered to another what the child had said, “He hasn’t anything on! A child says he hasn’t anything on!”
“But he HASN’T got anything on!” the whole town cried out at last.
The Emperor shivered, for he suspected they were right. But he thought, “This procession has got to go on!” So he walked more proudly than ever, as his noblemen held high the train that wasn’t there at all.
Masking Our Mask Stupidity
How appropriate and how fitting (if you pardon the pun) is not this tale when compared to the modern-day fairytale, or Fauci-tale, about the fitting of masks to fight Covid-19. You could almost say that Hans Christian Anderson’s fairytale was a forerunner of the fairytale we have been told about masks and Covid (not to mention vaccines and Covid―but more on that later in another stupid article or article on stupidity).
Who is the “king” in this modern-version of the fairytale? Who are the two “swindlers”? What is the “invisible suit of clothes”? Who are the other characters? Who is the young boy who sees the truth and speaks the truth? If you have been following the Covid Plannedemic then the answers should be pretty obvious! If you cannot make the connections or join the dots―then join us in the next stupid article and see how stupid we can really be and how the masks we wear mask our stupidity!

Damned Liars!
We are living in a time when evil is regarded as being acceptable and goodness is becoming unacceptable. As Holy Scripture warns: “Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil―that put darkness for light, and light for darkness―that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaias 5:20). We are living in a time which Scripture describes a “a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers―having itching ears―and will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables!” (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
“The wicked have told me fables!” (Psalm 118:85). The facts and stats that we are being fed about COVID and things concerning it, are, for the most part, a bunch of lies and twisted facts and statistics!
Lies! Damned Lies! And Statistics!
“Lies, damned lies, and statistics” is a phrase that comes from the full sentence: “There are three kinds of lies―lies, damned lies, and statistics!” Mark Twain popularized in the United States by Mark Twain. Others have also used the same or similar phrases―such as the Economic Journal in 1892: “There are three degrees of comparison among liars. There are liars, there are outrageous liars, and there are scientific experts. This has lately been adapted to throw dirt upon statistics. There are three degrees of comparison, it is said, in lying. There are lies, there are outrageous lies, and there are statistics.”
It has been known since the end of May of 2020, according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), that COVID is a 99.8% survival rate virus, similar to flu, which has 99.9% survival rate. While it is true that severe cases of COVID can have serious after-effects, this is true of any serious case of a respiratory disease, including flu. Is the mask-wearing contributing to the 99.8 survival rate? Or is the mask masking some other motives or narratives?
Repeat Lies Enough Times and They Will Be Believed
You will have heard of the expression: “Tell a lie enough times and they will believe it!” Most scholars and researchers trace the origins of that saying back to Adolph Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi German government of the Third Reich―both of whom understood the power of repeating falsehoods. Joseph Goebbels is on record as saying: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” This phenomenon―which is very common in today’s politics, advertising, and social media―is known in cognitive psychology as the “illusory truth effect” ― meaning that illusion takes on an appearance of truth, but is not the truth. The implications for daily life―where consumers of news and products are often repeatedly exposed to both plausible and implausible falsehoods―is that even patent lies may slowly become more credible, if given enough repetition.
Multiple studies have found that repeated false statements seem more truthful than new ones, occasional ones, or single ones. At one time, passing-off the illusion as truth was thought to be limited to uncertain statements, or those in which people had no other information available, such as prior knowledge―which also arises from a lack of intelligence or intellectual ability, due to being “dumbed-down” and not being able to think analytically and critically. However, a recent study, published in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, indicated that belief in ALL statements―whether they are believable or unbelievable―automatically increases with repetition. Apply that to the Coronavirus propaganda! If you hear the propaganda enough times, you will start to believe it―a little bit more with each time―especially if your mind is has turned to mush through reading superficial trivia that you have lost any ability to research, analyze, filter and compare information and judge―believing the first thing you hear and believing what is said often.
A “big lie” (German: grosse Lüge) is a propaganda technique and logical fallacy (deception). The expression “big lie” was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie: “All this was inspired by the principle—which is quite true within itself—that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature, than consciously or voluntarily; and thus―in the primitive simplicity of their minds―they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters, but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts―which prove this to be so [prove it to be a lie]―may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation [meaning that they will doubt the true facts that prove the lie to be a lie―and will still believe the lie to be true in some way]. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it [meaning that it sticks and remains], even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.” (Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X).
Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi German government, is attributed with having written the following: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Goebbels also wrote the following paragraph about the English―in an article dated January 12th, 1941, entitled Aus Churchills Lügenfabrik (English: “From Churchill's Lie Factory”) was published in Die Zeit ohne Beispiel.
“The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.”
People Are Poor Lie Detectors!
Professor Dr.Tim Levine―B.S. and Ph.D in psychology―of the University of Alabama, Birmingham―author of the books: Books: Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception―has spent decades researching the truth-lie phenomenon. He is of the opinion that few people can detect a liar. Even those whose job is to conduct interviews to dig out hidden truths, such as police officers or intelligence agents, are no better than ordinary folk. Levine argues that people to assume that others are telling the truth. Most communication by most people is truthful most of the time, so a presumption of honesty is usually justified. Humans are hard-wired to assume that what they hear is true—and therefore, says Mr. Levine, they are also automatically hard-wired to be duped.
So strong is that instinct that people suspend their critical faculties when given orders by a superior--think here of the orders given by Dr. Fauci, the CDC and all the other governmental officials. A study published last year in Science, a journal, concluded that “falsehood diffused significantly farther, faster, deeper and more broadly than the truth” and that this effect was especially strong for fake political news.
Make the lie big but keep it vague! Keep away from precise details that can be easily checked and debunked. That is the tactic of both Modernists and Liberals within the Church, as well as godless, untruthful politicians throughout the world. If you are vague and give few details, then you are harder to nail down. Above all, keep repeating the propaganda and have others repeat it for you! Lies, when they are repeated by many people, add even more credibility to lie. This is exactly what Dr. Anthony Fauci and his staff and supporters have been doing with the Coronavirus Crisis and Pandemic (or Plandemic). Renowned scientists and doctors throughout the world―especially those whose expertise is in epidemiology and viruses―have disputed Fauci’s statements and claims, they have criticized, refuted and “called-out” Fauci and crew. They have challenged Fauci to a proper scientific discussion with evidence and proofs to be put on the table―but, of course, Fauci and crew (Bill Gates among them) keep silent and ignore such statements, invitations and challenges. Why? Because as Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi German government, wrote: “The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
“What’s a Mask?” You Ask
What’s is a mask? What’s in a mask? What’s behind a mask? If you consult your dictionary―then you will get a definition along the following lines:
► NOUN: Mask
a covering for all or part of the face, worn as a disguise, or to amuse or terrify other people.
► VERB: To Mask
to conceal someone or something with a covering;
to conceal something from view
to make something indistinct or imperceptible
to hide or conceal something, such as one’s motives or feelings
to cover something for protection
to disguise one’s true character or intentions
to take part in a masquerade
Mass Mask Task
The “mask” has become the symbol or advertisement for Covid-19 or SARS-CoV-2 or whatever other name you like to give to the hyped-up, ubiquitous, super-spreader, “you don’t know you’ve got it”, one hundred symptom, universal killer virus. It is funny to see in the above definition of “mask” the words “to amuse or terrify other people”. Those are exactly the sentiments generated by the sight of most of obedient mask wearers throughout the world―who are told to wear it more and more, and to wear it almost everywhere―even outside in the fresh air, and even when alone! It serves to terrify some persons―reminding them that the virus, like the fictional characters “Bigfoot” or “Grinch” is out to get you! While others find such gullible obedience highly amusing.
There used to be a time when the police would be called if anyone walked into a bank or a store all-masked-up! Nowadays they call for the police if you enter a bank or a store WITHOUT A MASK! Funny how times and customs change! The “masked-man” has gone from being a bandit and a “baddie” to being a hero and a “goodie”. We have gone from risking arrest for wearing a mask, to now risking a fine if you don’t wear a mask! You could say: “What have you got to lose by wearing a mask?” or perhaps that should be: “What have you got to hide in wearing that mask?”
The question arises: “What lies behind the mask?” or should that be rephrased to: “What lies are hiding behind that mask?” The sane medical experts, the honest medical experts, the medical experts who have not sold their souls to “false science” and “false narratives” will tell you quite clearly, quite bluntly, quite honestly that the MASKS ARE USELESS AGAINST VIRUSES!
Fauci, Biden & Co. are all hiding behind the mask of “false science” while chanting to the rest of the world: “Follow the science!” They are liars, masquerading as caring people, who are masking the truth and using the mask-wearing edict as a means of forcing the nation into psychological submission to a falsehood they little understand and yet readily and gullibly swallow. Our Lord said: “Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). Today, it seems that faced with Covid-19, man cannot live and survive alone, but must live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of Dr. Fauci―yet Fauci’s mouth is now, more often than not, a masked mouth, and a masked mouth that is concealing and keeping out of sight the truths that everyone has a right to know. Fauci was raised in a devout traditional Catholic family and in Jesuit schools and colleges―but today he classifies himself as a humanist. Biden was also raised in a traditional Catholic family―but today he supports abortion and the LGBT movement, himself having presiding as minister in marrying two men in the White House Chapel. Funny how things change! Fortunately God and truth―unlike Fauci and Biden―never change!
The anti-mask brigade is growing worldwide, as one doctor after another, once virologist or epidemiologist after another speaks out against the “false science” or “lack of science” that is guiding the worldwide governmental mandatory mask measures.
Why Enforce Ineffective Mask Rules?
A viral video posted September 23rd, 2020, features the violent arrest of an Ohio mom at a local football game, ostensibly for not wearing her mask in the stands. The video shows a police officer tasing Alecia Kitts. Also clearly on the video is footage showing that the officer who tased Kitts had his own mask off, under his chin, from the time he tased her until he was walking her away in handcuffs. He only put the mask back on when someone in the stands yelled out, asking him where his mask was. According to The Ohio Star, Tiffany Kennedy, a friend of Kitts who shot the video, said Kitts has asthma and had taken the mask off. Kitts’ mask is visible in her right back shorts pocket in the video. Ohio Coronavirus rules issued by Governor Mike DeWine require people to wear masks at outdoor events when 6-foot social distancing is not possible. Not wearing a mask in Ohio is considered a misdemeanor. Penalties for failure to comply can include up to 30 days in jail and a $750 fine. While DeWine said his intent isn’t to arrest people for non-compliance, he failed to veto a bill that would have reduced fines and banned jail time for non-compliance.
The fundamental problem with assaulting and arresting people for not complying with mask rules is that there’s no evidence to support the idea that masks prevent the spread of the virus. In fact, the science tells us masks cannot block viruses.
The Reasons Why Masks Are Useless
SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter between 0.06 and 0.14 microns. Medical N95 masks — which are considered the most effective — can filter particles as small as 0.3 microns ― but SARS-CoV-2 is even smaller! You are basically trying to catch a mosquito with a basketball net, or a soccer goal net! Surgical masks, homemade masks, T-shirts and bandanas are even more porous. Health agencies’ own research show it’s a futile measure that only provides a false sense of security.
The demand by stores that customers wear masks, fraudulently assumes that masks work. They do not. Air easily slips around all masks, such as the very large air gaps around the nose, cheeks and chin. Furthermore, the particle size of the Coronavirus is typically 1/1000th of the size of the spacing between threads of the mask itself. A Coronavirus is, on average, 0.1 microns. Holes in cloth masks are up to 100 microns. If you “zoom in” this is like expecting two threads, spaced as far apart as three football fields, 900 feet, to filter out a shoe the size of one foot. That is insane! Furthermore, there are 1000 microns per millimeter. The air gaps around the mask, by the nose, if they are half a centimeter (⅕ of an inch), are 5,000 microns. A Coronavirus is 0.1 microns. The difference is 50,000 times in size. This gap is so big, and the virus is so small, it’s like two lines, 10 miles apart, (52,800 feet) trying to filter out a basketball (just under a foot). Talk about being stupid!!!
Mask wearing is mental insanity. In both theory and actual fact, masks cannot possibly work and achieve what the mask-enforcers claim. Their position is not based on science, but rather, irrational fear, and irrational expectations that masks work, when they cannot and do not work. Since their position is based on insanity and the fraud that masks work―the demands for mandatory masking cannot be said to follow the law and be “reasonable”. Furthermore, restaurants are open, with up to 60-100 people eating at once, with nobody wearing a mask while eating, and that fully complies with the law. So how could one person not wearing a mask in a grocery store be a danger compared to that? Fraud also carries with it a prison sentence, as fraud is a felony. When informed that mandatory masking was a fraud, and therefore a felony, the Orange County board of Supervisors abandoned their mandatory mask policy, back on June 9th, 2020.
Even the World Health Organization’s June 5th, 2020, guidance memo on face mask use states “there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID- 19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.”
Similarly, a May 2020 policy review paper published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases, concluded that “Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.” This is highly relevant, as the influenza virus is about twice the size of SARS-CoV-2. If masks cannot prevent transmission of influenza, they certainly cannot prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
How Effective (Ineffective) are the Various Kinds of Masks?
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised questions about the efficacy of wearing face masks to reduce the transmission of infectious disease. Health agencies are not always in agreement as to who should or should not be wearing masks. Experts were debating the effectiveness of wearing masks to reduce the risk of infection long before COVID-19 came into the picture. Certain masks are more useless than others, with valved masks being among the worst, followed by homemade cloth masks. This includes both commercial cloth masks and N95-rated masks with one or two exhale ports. The reason for this is because masks with breathing valves do not filter the out-breath.
The mandating of mask wearing has no basis in science. On the contrary, the available scientific evidence almost conclusively shows that mask wearing does not prevent the spread of infectious disease. Most studies have focused on influenza―and the results from such studies are more than sufficient, because Coronaviruses are about half the size of flu viruses. Therefore, if a mask cannot prevent the spread of the much larger influenza viruses, it is illogical to assume that masks can prevent the spread of a much smaller virus, especially if it is airborne. The ineffectiveness of masks is shown by the recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which reports that 71% of COVID-19 patients reported “always” wearing a cloth mask or face covering in the 14 days preceding their illness; 14% reported having worn a mask “often.” This proves, in part, the ineffectiveness of mask wearing ― for 71% of COVID patients were always wearing the mask and they still contracted COVID.
► SURGICAL MASKS
Surgical masks (currently the standard light blue masks handed out in some stores) were introduced nearly a century ago for the purpose of protecting patients during surgery. Yet, researchers continue to question whether this established routine is necessary. In one study published in 2016, scientists found no difference in the infection rates of patients undergoing “clean” surgery, whether the surgical team was masked or unmasked. A clean surgery was defined as one in which the lungs, gut, genitals and bladder were not involved.
Researchers have also questioned whether wearing masks during the cold season actually cuts down on the number of health care professionals who get sick. The researchers collected data for 77 consecutive days during cold season and determined whether a cold was present. The intervention group wore masks at work and the control group did not. During the study period, one individual in the intervention and one in the control group got a cold. Although the study was small, the researchers felt there was not enough evidence to demonstrate the benefits of mask-wearing for health care workers in terms of preventing cold symptoms.
Investigations into the effectiveness of masks continued with a study published in BMJ (British Medical Journal). Since the results were released in 2015, the researchers have responded to their data in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was aimed at comparing the effectiveness of cloth masks to that of medical masks in health care workers. They evaluated 14 secondary and tertiary level hospitals in Hanoi, Vietnam, using 1,607 participants who worked full-time in high-risk units. Their measurement outcome was clinical demonstration of respiratory illness, flu-like illness or laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection. The researchers found that those who wore cloth masks had a significantly higher rate of flu-like illness and all measured infections as compared to participants using medical masks. They cited moisture retention, reuse and poor filtration as potential reasons for the increased rates of infection. They wrote, “… cloth masks should not be recommended for HCWs [health care workers], particularly in high-risk situations, and guidelines need to be updated.”
► CLOTH MASKS
Just prior to the Coronavirus pandemic reaching the U.S., a team evaluated the effectiveness of low-cost cloth face masks. The team evaluated 20 types of cloth masks and found pore size could range from 80 to 500 nanometers. This is significantly larger than particulate matter with a diameter of 10 nanometers or less (PM10). They also found that the effectiveness was reduced by 20% after the mask had gone through the fourth cycle of washing and drying. Stretching of the surface altered pore size and washing reduced the number of microfibers within the pores, also altering the effectiveness of the mask. The study evaluated the effectiveness of reducing airflow in face covers with and without an outlet valve. They found that face covers without an outlet valve reduced the flow of air forward by more than 90%. Individuals using surgical, cloth masks and face shields had intense back and downward flow, which presents a hazard.
► N95 MASKS
Dr. Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, speaks of a study in 2006 in which researchers evaluated the development of headaches in health care workers who were using an N95 face mask. Using a survey, they found that 37.3% reported mask-associated headaches and 32.9% said that this happened more than six times per month. The researchers concluded that the N95 face mask could increase the risk of headaches in health care providers and that using them for shorter periods of time could reduce the frequency and severity of their headaches. Wearing an N95 mask for up to three hours could have also changed nasal function, making it more difficult to breathe after the mask was removed. Before Dr. Blaylock went on to discuss the new evidence suggesting Coronaviruses may enter the brain, he pointed out: “There is another danger to wearing these masks on a daily basis, especially if worn for several hours. When a person is infected with a respiratory virus, they will expel some of the virus with each breath. If they are wearing a mask, especially an N95 mask or other tightly fitting mask, they will be constantly re-breathing the viruses, raising the concentration of the virus in the lungs and the nasal passages. We know that people who have the worst reactions to the Coronavirus have the highest concentrations of the virus early on.”
Based on past evidence, Dr. Blaylock questions whether wearing a mask could also reintroduce exhaled viruses deep into the nasal cavity, driving up the amount of virus in the upper respiratory tract and increasing the potential to enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain.
While an N95-rated mask with exhale port will not protect others, it may, however, still offer some protection for the wearer. If you’re wearing a mask, N95-rated masks are the most effective choice. The caveat is that it must be properly fitted and put on and removed as instructed. Medical staff must go through fit tests for medical N95 masks, which makes them an impractical choice for the general public.
Masks Cannot Filter Out Airborne Viruses
Masks will not prevent you from exhaling or inhaling the aerosolized virus. Cloth masks are clearly also the least preferable option if you want to reduce the spread of infection, as their ability to block larger respiratory droplets is also limited. In particular, N95 masks with airflow valves on the front should be avoided, as the valve lets out unfiltered air, thus negating the small benefit — the reduction in respiratory droplet emissions — you might get from a mask.
Interestingly, Friday September 18th, 2020, the CDC posted updated COVID-19 guidance on its “How COVID-19 Spreads” page that, for the first time, mentioned aerosol (airborne) transmission of SARS-CoV-2, saying “this is thought to be the main way the virus spreads.” If SARS-CoV-2 spreads primarily via aerosols (airborne), then requiring people to wear masks is illogical, seeing how masks cannot filter out airborne viruses.
The CDC also noted that aerosolized (airborne) viruses can travel farther than 6 feet — which is logical seeing how aerosolized viruses can remain suspended in the air for hours — and that “indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk.” However, the CDC then deleted the mention of aerosols and the possibility of spread beyond 6 feet the following Monday, September 21st, saying a draft version of proposed changes had been posted “in error.”
As reported by Forbes: “Before Friday’s update, the CDC said large respiratory droplets (like from coughing or sneezing) at close range transmitted the virus, but now the now-deleted guidance added that ‘small particles, such as those in aerosols’ could infect people. There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet,’ the now-removed guidance stated … Scientists say the new CDC guidance is important because cloth masks aren’t designed to protect the wearer from aerosols.”
The last sentence is a key one. Understanding that SARS-CoV-2 is aerosolized (airborne) and can remain suspended in air “is important because cloth masks aren’t designed to protect the wearer from aerosols.” Masks also, of course, cannot protect others from aerosolized viruses exhaled by someone wearing a mask―because if you are exhaling the virus, it will pass through the mask relatively easily into the outside air.
According to NBC News, the fact that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne is “already well-known, according to infectious disease experts,” so it’s unclear why the CDC would not want that information on its website and has been remarkably slow in acknowledging it. One has to wonder whether its delayed acknowledgment and rapid removal of this information has something to do with the fact that, if SARS-CoV-2 spreads by being airborne, then requiring people to wear masks is illogical, because masks cannot filter out airborne viruses. All a mask can do is limit the spread of respiratory droplets that have been contaminated by the virus―but the virus itself is far smaller than the droplet it has contaminated. This has been the argument against mask wearing all along.
SARS-CoV-2 Is Airborne, Which Makes Masks Ineffective
Dr. Jill Weatherhead, assistant professor of infectious diseases at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, told NBC News that the admission that SARS-CoV-2 is aerosolized (airborne) was “not surprising or jarring.” The World Health Organization updated its COVID-19 guidance back in July to include aerosolized (i.e., airborne) transmission, at the urging of more than 200 scientists.
Joseph Allen, an associate professor in the department of environmental health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, also told NBC News that “The scientific community has been raising the alarm about this since February, that airborne spread can happen.” Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the school of public health at Brown University, commented on the CDC’s deletion of the information about the virus being airborne, saying: “This is so destructive to this incredibly wonderful agency that we have loved and admired our entire careers. This is amateur hour!”
Testimonies From True Medical Experts
► JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, agrees that face masks should only be used by “individuals who have symptoms of respiratory infection such as coughing, sneezing, or, in some cases, fever.” The authors go on to say there is no evidence masks used by healthy people can prevent others from becoming sick.
► DR. MICHAEL THOMAS OSTERHOLM (born 1953) is an American epidemiologist, regents professor, and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. On November 9th, 2020, he was named a member of President-elect Joe Biden's COVID-19 Advisory Board. He has stated that surgical masks are useless: “I do have concern about that some people are highly reliant right now on the use of face mask (i.e. surgical mask) protection and think that’s going to reduce transmission. It is not! … Surgical masks, we know, are largely ineffective in preventing virus transmission” (Dr. Osterholm, CNN interview with Peter Bergen, March 11th, 2020).
► DR. ANDREW BOSTOM, of Brown University, noted in a July 11th, 2020, Medium post: “… limited, immediate-term experimental observations — equivocal at best — provide no rational, evidence-based justification for daily, prolonged mask usage by the general public to prevent infection with COVID-19. An analysis of 10 controlled trials―assessing extended, real-world, non-health-care-setting mask usage―revealed that masking did not reduce the rate of laboratory-proven infections with the respiratory virus influenza. The findings from this unique report — published May 2020 by the CDC’s own ‘house journal’ ‘Emerging Infectious Diseases’ — were analyzed and pooled, applying a rigorous, standardized methodology. None of these studies detect a significant benefit of masking for the reduction of confirmed influenza infection … The authors further concluded, with a caution, that using face masks improperly might ‘increase the risk for (viral) transmission.’”
► DR. DENIS RANCOURT, Ph.D., a former full professor of physics and researcher with the Ontario Civil Liberties Association in Canada, says that all of the well-designed studies that have been published so far, have failed to find a statistically significant advantage to wearing a mask versus not wearing one.
► DR. JUDY MIKOVITS, Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology, says: “Can you believe they told everybody to wear a mask? If you have COPD and you wear a mask, you will kill yourself. You will cause the very disease you’re trying to prevent. Wearing the mask literally activates your own virus. You’re getting sick from your own reactivated Coronavirus expressions, and if it happens to be SARS-CoV-2, then you’ve got a big problem. Number one, if your mask is just this scarf cover of your face―all that does is make you breathe in and out. I see people running and riding bikes with these masks. It doesn’t prevent mold, mildew, all the stuff that’s in the air, the pollens [from] allergy season. Those go right there into your sinus cavity, into your nasopharyngeal cavity. You’re exercising. You’re breathing hard. You’re sucking that stuff into your lungs and you’re sucking back in CO2. We don’t do photosynthesis! We’re humans! We have to breathe oxygen! We can’t breathe back in our own toxic air! That’s why you exhale! That’s why you breathe deeply! That’s why you cough to expel a pathogen! If you cough in your own mask then you suppress your own immune system. You use your own “type one interferons” in your throat, in your nose, in your blood. It’s horribly immune suppressive. You’re not getting fresh air. You’re suppressing your immune response. You’re activating endogenous viruses. When you activate endogenous viruses, your immune system has to go and knock down those viruses. When you wear that mask, you’re concentrating antigens and you’re making yourself sicker. It is immune draining, not immune boosting. You’re making yourself sick with other sources. It makes no sense. You’re not preventing infection. I will not wear a mask. I just walk in the store and say, “Hey, I have a congenital lung disease, and I can’t wear a mask. Thank you very much for” ― I don’t say “for your stupidity” but ― “protecting me!” You don’t protect anybody. I worked in a bio-safety level three facility [laboratory] with HIV for 30 years. I pulled viruses out of saliva and blood. I never once wore a mask. I reminded Dr. Rossetti of this the other day. He said, “We wore masks.” I was like, “No, we didn’t! No, we didn’t!” We weren’t at risk until 2011 [when] it was realized that that mouse cancer causing retrovirus is contagious. Please take off the mask. Go outside if you’re healthy.”
► DR. RASHID BUTTAR says: “The information that the public needs to know is that staying home, wearing a mask is making everything worse. Wearing a mask? Remember ― we breathe in oxygen. When you wear a mask, you’re reducing the flow of oxygen. By reducing the flow of oxygen, you’re taxing your system. You’re going to cause a release of steroids, of cortisol, the stress hormone. When the stress hormone goes off, then you have a suppression of the immune system. That’s the reason that you have to be careful when you give transplant patients immune-suppressives to reduce their immune system so that doesn’t react [badly] to the organs. What did they die from? They die from infection. They die from opportunistic infection — things that wouldn’t have hurt you or me, but because the immune system has been rendered incapable of mounting a response from the steroids, that’s what they die from. They’re telling you [to] wear a mask ― which is now going to reduce your oxygen, which is going to stress your body, which is going to cause more cortisol production, which is going to suppress your immune system ― and now an opportunistic [infection] could cause a problem.”
► DR. RUSSELL BLAYLOCK, a neurosurgeon, warns that face masks: “… fail to protect the healthy from getting sick, but they also create serious health risks to the wearer. The bottom line is that if you are not sick, you should not wear a face mask. As for the scientific support for the use of face mask, a recent careful examination of the literature, in which 17 of the best studies were analyzed, concluded that: ‘None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.’ Keep in mind, no studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Any recommendations, therefore, have to be based on studies of influenza virus transmission. And, as you have seen, there is no conclusive evidence of their efficiency in controlling flu virus transmission.” He expressed some frustration at the wholesale use of face masks for the vulnerable and healthy individuals, pointing out, “When a person has TB, we have them wear a mask, not the entire community of non-infected.”
► DR. STANLEY YOUNG, Ph.D., an applied statistician who currently serves on the Environmental Protection Agency’s scientific advisory board. In an October 14th, 2020, article, he writes: “Dr. Mandy Cohen has told us we must wear masks in many kinds of settings. She told us that wearing the masks will help ‘fight’… SARS-CoV-2. Gov. Cooper has told us they are relying on ‘data and science.’ I am a scientist. I disagree.Not long ago, I considered the COVID data our health experts were giving us. If masks were so effective, why were we not seeing improvement in the numbers? I decided to dive into the literature ... I studied the studies and found one for influenza. The peer-reviewed meta-analysis study looked at flu viral transmission, using 10 randomized clinical trials. When you combine all 10, the study showed that the results are consistent with pure chance. The evidence suggested that the use of face masks―either by infected persons or by uninfected persons―does not have a substantial effect on influenza transmission … In pooled analysis, we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks. Adding up those infected while wearing a mask, 156 out of 3,495 persons which is 4.46%, and those infected while not wearing a mask, 161 out of 3,052 persons which is 5.23%, the results are consistent with chance.
“I presented my opinion to Dr. Cohen and her staff. After some prodding, Mr. Fleischman, a senior official, provided me with another study that dealt specifically with the COVID-19 virus. The study looked at transmission of the virus. A total of 19 randomized studies were summarized. Here is what they had to say, ‘Medical masks were not effective, and cloth masks even less effective.’ Masks have always only been thought to stop large droplets. Transmission through very fine droplets cannot be stopped by ordinary masks. Most recently, the CDC has confirmed that the virus can be transmitted through fine droplets. The analysis that Mr. Fleischman had sent me supports this claim because, again, it showed no benefit to wearing masks. Incidentally, the Netherlands recently dropped the mask mandate saying the research did not support wearing them. These two scientific studies provide no scientific basis for one size fits all [universal mandatory masking]; if public health officials and politicians continue with mask mandates, then informed citizens might question if current policy is intended more to scare them, than follow the science.”
► DR. ROGER HODKINSON, one of Canada’s top pathologists and an expert in virology, more importantly, he the CEO of Western Medical Assessments, a biotech company that manufactures COVID-19 PCR tests. Since he manufactures the PCR test kits he says sarcastically: “I might know a ittle bit about all this!” He stressed that PCR tests simply cannot diagnose infection and mass testing should therefore cease immediately. He also pointed out that social distancing is useless as the virus “is spread by aerosols [tiny droplets] which travel 30 meters [33 yards] or so.” As for face masks, Hodkinson stated that: “Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever. Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signaling. They’re not even worn effectively most of the time. It is utterly ridiculous. Seeing these unfortunate, uneducated people — I’m not saying that in a pejorative sense — seeing these people walking around like lemmings obeying, without any knowledge base, to put the mask on their face!”
► DENMARK’S MEDICAL RESEARCHERS ― Perhaps the most damning evidence of all is that of Danish researchers who recently conducted a randomized trial in an effort to prove the usefulness of face masks against COVID-19 infection―but ended up proving the opposite. They now are complaining they cannot find a publisher who will publish their findings! Hmm! Medical peer review journals are simply refusing to accept the paper. Why? Hmm! The study, which is currently only available in German, concluded tens of millions of contaminations can occur each day as people use the masks inappropriately, touch their faces and neglect to wash their hands. For this reason, universal mask wearing may actually do more harm than good. This is clearly important information that should be communicated to the general public, yet medical journals are shunning the research paper and its surprising findings, probably because it doesn’t align with their narrative that supports universal mask recommendations.
Flip-Flopping Fauci
Dr. Anthony Fauci has been made out to be the prominent public leader and expert for the Coronavirus response in the U.S., but his flip-flopping betrays either a lack of “expertise” or a more nefarious tactic of deliberate misinformation. Way back in March, in a 60 Minute COVID-19 segment that was broadcast on March 8th, 2020, Fauci said masks are “important for someone who is infected to prevent them from infecting someone else,” but that “right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks; there’s no reason to walk around with a mask.” He also noted that “when you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask may make you feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.” He also pointed out there are unintended consequences of mask wearing that can increase your infection risk, things like touching your mask and then touching your face.
A couple weeks later, in early April 2020, he suddenly did a radical about-turn and changed his message, urging people to wear cloth masks in public unless they could maintain a 6-foot distance from others.
By mid-June 2020, when pressed about his turnabout on masks, he stated he’d initially downplayed the benefits of face masks, due to concerns about personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages. The clear subtext was “I lied to you because I thought it was for the greater good.” If he is willing to lie about this, how can he possibly be trusted about other recommendations? In March, he accurately confirmed that masks are ineffective and offer a false sense of security. Then, when he did recommend mask wearing, he recommended wearing the least effective mask alternative — cloth masks, for which there are no standards at all.
At the end of July 2020 — just days after getting caught at a baseball game with his mask pulled below his chin — Fauci started recommending the addition of face shields to protect the mucous membranes of your eyes. Then, October 23rd, 2020, he suddenly announced his support for a federal mask mandate to ensure nationwide compliance.
As reported by Life Site News, July 31st, 2020: “Fauci … suggested that masking should morph from a temporary emergency measure to a permanent seasonal practice: ‘It is inevitable that we're going to have some degree of flu. I'm hoping that the wearing of masks and other coverings are going to not only protect us against COVID-19, but also help protect us against influenza.’” In what appears to be an effort to back up the mask mandates for COVID-19, Fauci is now also endorsing the wearing of masks during every influenza season going forward.
Why? Not only has the science not changed — it still shows masks do not decrease infection rates — but a federal mandate also fails to take into account the level of threat in individual states or cities. What’s more, in a September 15th, 2020, press conference, he stated that “a national mandate probably would not work.”
Some areas have and are doing quite well in terms of infection rates, hospitalizations and deaths. Why should people in those areas be forced to wear masks even in the absence of a significant threat? (And that’s supposing masks worked in the first place.) As reported by CNN October 23rd, 2020:
“‘If people are not wearing masks, then maybe we should be mandating it,’ the leading infectious disease expert [Fauci] told CNN’s Erin Burnett Friday … Mask mandates may be tricky to enforce, but it might be time to call for them, Fauci said.‘There’s going to be a difficulty enforcing it, but if everyone agrees that this is something that’s important and they mandate it and everybody pulls together and says, you know, we’re going to mandate it but let’s just do it, I think that would be a great idea to have everybody do it uniformly,’ he said. As cooler weather comes, people need to ‘double down’ on measures that work, Fauci said. ‘Universal mask wearing’ is one, he said, as is keeping a distance from others and frequent hand washing.”
Ironically, Fauci has stated that “the data on face masks speaks for itself.” Now, if we were all to agree that the data does speak for itself, then there would be no mask mandates―because the data clearly do NOT support this measure for the public at large.
Strangely, mask mandates continue to flourish despite health agencies own research showing it’s a futile measure that only provides a false sense of security:
Why Are They so Persistent With Mask Recommendations?
Considering the strong scientific evidence against it, why are governments so persistent in their recommendation of mask wearing? Clearly, for many, wearing a bandana or cloth mask provides a form of psychological defense, a way to feel less fearful because it feels like you’re doing something to protect yourself and others. But it’s a false sense of security.
But with COVID-19 fatality rates as low as they are, why would governments be pushing for a false sense of security? According to a September 2nd, 2020, study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the overall non-institutionalized COVID-19 fatality ratio is 0.26%. For those younger than 40, the infection fatality ratio is 0.01%, while those aged 60 or older have a fatality ratio of 1.71%. The estimated infection fatality rate for seasonal influenza listed in this paper is 0.8%. So, the only people for whom SARS-CoV-2 infection is more dangerous than influenza, is those who are over the age of 60.
Mandatory mask wearing, social distancing, lockdowns and business shut-downs are clearly completely unnecessary at this point, unless your goal is to increase fear, tyranny; crash the economy and transfer of wealth to the upper 0.001% who can benefit from collapsing the economy. Furthermore, it seems mask requirements are being used as a psychological manipulation tool to encourage compliance with vaccination once a vaccine becomes available. It can also be viewed as a badge of submission to tyranny. The future tradeoff that will be offered to everyone: Mask mandates will be dropped provided everyone gets vaccinated. By then, many may be willing to take or do just about anything, as long as they don’t have to wear a mask anymore — although some warn that masks may remain a requirement for years to come, even with a vaccine.
You cannot repeat enough times the quote of William Casey, CIA Director from 1981 to 1987, to President Reagan in a briefing shortly after he took office: “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false!” One of the aides to President Reagan confirmed that quote: That person in Barbara Honegger ― Assistant to the Chief Domestic Policy Adviser to President Reagan. Barbara Honegger said: “I am the source for this quote, which was indeed said by CIA Director, William Casey, at an early February 1981 meeting of the newly elected President Reagan with his new cabinet secretaries, to report to him on what they had learned about their agencies in the first couple of weeks of the administration. The meeting was in the Roosevelt Room in the West Wing of the White House, not far from the Cabinet Room. I was present at the meeting as Assistant to the chief domestic policy adviser to the President. Casey first told Reagan that he had been astonished to discover that over 80% of the ‘intelligence’― that the analysis side of the CIA produced ― was based on open public sources like newspapers and magazines. As he did to all the other secretaries of their departments and agencies, Reagan asked [Casey] what he saw as his goal as director for the CIA, to which he [Casey] replied with this quote―[“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false!”], which I recorded in my notes of the meeting as he said it. Shortly thereafter I told Senior White House correspondent Sarah McClendon, who was a close friend and colleague, who in turn made it public.” (Barbara Honegger, Assistant to the Chief Domestic Policy Adviser to President Reagan).
We are living in a time when evil is regarded as being acceptable and goodness is becoming unacceptable. As Holy Scripture warns: “Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil―that put darkness for light, and light for darkness―that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaias 5:20). We are living in a time which Scripture describes a “a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers―having itching ears―and will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables!” (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
“The wicked have told me fables!” (Psalm 118:85). The facts and stats that we are being fed about COVID and things concerning it, are, for the most part, a bunch of lies and twisted facts and statistics!
Lies! Damned Lies! And Statistics!
“Lies, damned lies, and statistics” is a phrase that comes from the full sentence: “There are three kinds of lies―lies, damned lies, and statistics!” Mark Twain popularized in the United States by Mark Twain. Others have also used the same or similar phrases―such as the Economic Journal in 1892: “There are three degrees of comparison among liars. There are liars, there are outrageous liars, and there are scientific experts. This has lately been adapted to throw dirt upon statistics. There are three degrees of comparison, it is said, in lying. There are lies, there are outrageous lies, and there are statistics.”
It has been known since the end of May of 2020, according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), that COVID is a 99.8% survival rate virus, similar to flu, which has 99.9% survival rate. While it is true that severe cases of COVID can have serious after-effects, this is true of any serious case of a respiratory disease, including flu. Is the mask-wearing contributing to the 99.8 survival rate? Or is the mask masking some other motives or narratives?
Repeat Lies Enough Times and They Will Be Believed
You will have heard of the expression: “Tell a lie enough times and they will believe it!” Most scholars and researchers trace the origins of that saying back to Adolph Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi German government of the Third Reich―both of whom understood the power of repeating falsehoods. Joseph Goebbels is on record as saying: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” This phenomenon―which is very common in today’s politics, advertising, and social media―is known in cognitive psychology as the “illusory truth effect” ― meaning that illusion takes on an appearance of truth, but is not the truth. The implications for daily life―where consumers of news and products are often repeatedly exposed to both plausible and implausible falsehoods―is that even patent lies may slowly become more credible, if given enough repetition.
Multiple studies have found that repeated false statements seem more truthful than new ones, occasional ones, or single ones. At one time, passing-off the illusion as truth was thought to be limited to uncertain statements, or those in which people had no other information available, such as prior knowledge―which also arises from a lack of intelligence or intellectual ability, due to being “dumbed-down” and not being able to think analytically and critically. However, a recent study, published in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, indicated that belief in ALL statements―whether they are believable or unbelievable―automatically increases with repetition. Apply that to the Coronavirus propaganda! If you hear the propaganda enough times, you will start to believe it―a little bit more with each time―especially if your mind is has turned to mush through reading superficial trivia that you have lost any ability to research, analyze, filter and compare information and judge―believing the first thing you hear and believing what is said often.
A “big lie” (German: grosse Lüge) is a propaganda technique and logical fallacy (deception). The expression “big lie” was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie: “All this was inspired by the principle—which is quite true within itself—that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature, than consciously or voluntarily; and thus―in the primitive simplicity of their minds―they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters, but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts―which prove this to be so [prove it to be a lie]―may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation [meaning that they will doubt the true facts that prove the lie to be a lie―and will still believe the lie to be true in some way]. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it [meaning that it sticks and remains], even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.” (Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X).
Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi German government, is attributed with having written the following: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Goebbels also wrote the following paragraph about the English―in an article dated January 12th, 1941, entitled Aus Churchills Lügenfabrik (English: “From Churchill's Lie Factory”) was published in Die Zeit ohne Beispiel.
“The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.”
People Are Poor Lie Detectors!
Professor Dr.Tim Levine―B.S. and Ph.D in psychology―of the University of Alabama, Birmingham―author of the books: Books: Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception―has spent decades researching the truth-lie phenomenon. He is of the opinion that few people can detect a liar. Even those whose job is to conduct interviews to dig out hidden truths, such as police officers or intelligence agents, are no better than ordinary folk. Levine argues that people to assume that others are telling the truth. Most communication by most people is truthful most of the time, so a presumption of honesty is usually justified. Humans are hard-wired to assume that what they hear is true—and therefore, says Mr. Levine, they are also automatically hard-wired to be duped.
So strong is that instinct that people suspend their critical faculties when given orders by a superior--think here of the orders given by Dr. Fauci, the CDC and all the other governmental officials. A study published last year in Science, a journal, concluded that “falsehood diffused significantly farther, faster, deeper and more broadly than the truth” and that this effect was especially strong for fake political news.
Make the lie big but keep it vague! Keep away from precise details that can be easily checked and debunked. That is the tactic of both Modernists and Liberals within the Church, as well as godless, untruthful politicians throughout the world. If you are vague and give few details, then you are harder to nail down. Above all, keep repeating the propaganda and have others repeat it for you! Lies, when they are repeated by many people, add even more credibility to lie. This is exactly what Dr. Anthony Fauci and his staff and supporters have been doing with the Coronavirus Crisis and Pandemic (or Plandemic). Renowned scientists and doctors throughout the world―especially those whose expertise is in epidemiology and viruses―have disputed Fauci’s statements and claims, they have criticized, refuted and “called-out” Fauci and crew. They have challenged Fauci to a proper scientific discussion with evidence and proofs to be put on the table―but, of course, Fauci and crew (Bill Gates among them) keep silent and ignore such statements, invitations and challenges. Why? Because as Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi German government, wrote: “The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
“What’s a Mask?” You Ask
What’s is a mask? What’s in a mask? What’s behind a mask? If you consult your dictionary―then you will get a definition along the following lines:
► NOUN: Mask
a covering for all or part of the face, worn as a disguise, or to amuse or terrify other people.
► VERB: To Mask
to conceal someone or something with a covering;
to conceal something from view
to make something indistinct or imperceptible
to hide or conceal something, such as one’s motives or feelings
to cover something for protection
to disguise one’s true character or intentions
to take part in a masquerade
Mass Mask Task
The “mask” has become the symbol or advertisement for Covid-19 or SARS-CoV-2 or whatever other name you like to give to the hyped-up, ubiquitous, super-spreader, “you don’t know you’ve got it”, one hundred symptom, universal killer virus. It is funny to see in the above definition of “mask” the words “to amuse or terrify other people”. Those are exactly the sentiments generated by the sight of most of obedient mask wearers throughout the world―who are told to wear it more and more, and to wear it almost everywhere―even outside in the fresh air, and even when alone! It serves to terrify some persons―reminding them that the virus, like the fictional characters “Bigfoot” or “Grinch” is out to get you! While others find such gullible obedience highly amusing.
There used to be a time when the police would be called if anyone walked into a bank or a store all-masked-up! Nowadays they call for the police if you enter a bank or a store WITHOUT A MASK! Funny how times and customs change! The “masked-man” has gone from being a bandit and a “baddie” to being a hero and a “goodie”. We have gone from risking arrest for wearing a mask, to now risking a fine if you don’t wear a mask! You could say: “What have you got to lose by wearing a mask?” or perhaps that should be: “What have you got to hide in wearing that mask?”
The question arises: “What lies behind the mask?” or should that be rephrased to: “What lies are hiding behind that mask?” The sane medical experts, the honest medical experts, the medical experts who have not sold their souls to “false science” and “false narratives” will tell you quite clearly, quite bluntly, quite honestly that the MASKS ARE USELESS AGAINST VIRUSES!
Fauci, Biden & Co. are all hiding behind the mask of “false science” while chanting to the rest of the world: “Follow the science!” They are liars, masquerading as caring people, who are masking the truth and using the mask-wearing edict as a means of forcing the nation into psychological submission to a falsehood they little understand and yet readily and gullibly swallow. Our Lord said: “Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). Today, it seems that faced with Covid-19, man cannot live and survive alone, but must live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of Dr. Fauci―yet Fauci’s mouth is now, more often than not, a masked mouth, and a masked mouth that is concealing and keeping out of sight the truths that everyone has a right to know. Fauci was raised in a devout traditional Catholic family and in Jesuit schools and colleges―but today he classifies himself as a humanist. Biden was also raised in a traditional Catholic family―but today he supports abortion and the LGBT movement, himself having presiding as minister in marrying two men in the White House Chapel. Funny how things change! Fortunately God and truth―unlike Fauci and Biden―never change!
The anti-mask brigade is growing worldwide, as one doctor after another, once virologist or epidemiologist after another speaks out against the “false science” or “lack of science” that is guiding the worldwide governmental mandatory mask measures.
Why Enforce Ineffective Mask Rules?
A viral video posted September 23rd, 2020, features the violent arrest of an Ohio mom at a local football game, ostensibly for not wearing her mask in the stands. The video shows a police officer tasing Alecia Kitts. Also clearly on the video is footage showing that the officer who tased Kitts had his own mask off, under his chin, from the time he tased her until he was walking her away in handcuffs. He only put the mask back on when someone in the stands yelled out, asking him where his mask was. According to The Ohio Star, Tiffany Kennedy, a friend of Kitts who shot the video, said Kitts has asthma and had taken the mask off. Kitts’ mask is visible in her right back shorts pocket in the video. Ohio Coronavirus rules issued by Governor Mike DeWine require people to wear masks at outdoor events when 6-foot social distancing is not possible. Not wearing a mask in Ohio is considered a misdemeanor. Penalties for failure to comply can include up to 30 days in jail and a $750 fine. While DeWine said his intent isn’t to arrest people for non-compliance, he failed to veto a bill that would have reduced fines and banned jail time for non-compliance.
The fundamental problem with assaulting and arresting people for not complying with mask rules is that there’s no evidence to support the idea that masks prevent the spread of the virus. In fact, the science tells us masks cannot block viruses.
The Reasons Why Masks Are Useless
SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter between 0.06 and 0.14 microns. Medical N95 masks — which are considered the most effective — can filter particles as small as 0.3 microns ― but SARS-CoV-2 is even smaller! You are basically trying to catch a mosquito with a basketball net, or a soccer goal net! Surgical masks, homemade masks, T-shirts and bandanas are even more porous. Health agencies’ own research show it’s a futile measure that only provides a false sense of security.
The demand by stores that customers wear masks, fraudulently assumes that masks work. They do not. Air easily slips around all masks, such as the very large air gaps around the nose, cheeks and chin. Furthermore, the particle size of the Coronavirus is typically 1/1000th of the size of the spacing between threads of the mask itself. A Coronavirus is, on average, 0.1 microns. Holes in cloth masks are up to 100 microns. If you “zoom in” this is like expecting two threads, spaced as far apart as three football fields, 900 feet, to filter out a shoe the size of one foot. That is insane! Furthermore, there are 1000 microns per millimeter. The air gaps around the mask, by the nose, if they are half a centimeter (⅕ of an inch), are 5,000 microns. A Coronavirus is 0.1 microns. The difference is 50,000 times in size. This gap is so big, and the virus is so small, it’s like two lines, 10 miles apart, (52,800 feet) trying to filter out a basketball (just under a foot). Talk about being stupid!!!
Mask wearing is mental insanity. In both theory and actual fact, masks cannot possibly work and achieve what the mask-enforcers claim. Their position is not based on science, but rather, irrational fear, and irrational expectations that masks work, when they cannot and do not work. Since their position is based on insanity and the fraud that masks work―the demands for mandatory masking cannot be said to follow the law and be “reasonable”. Furthermore, restaurants are open, with up to 60-100 people eating at once, with nobody wearing a mask while eating, and that fully complies with the law. So how could one person not wearing a mask in a grocery store be a danger compared to that? Fraud also carries with it a prison sentence, as fraud is a felony. When informed that mandatory masking was a fraud, and therefore a felony, the Orange County board of Supervisors abandoned their mandatory mask policy, back on June 9th, 2020.
Even the World Health Organization’s June 5th, 2020, guidance memo on face mask use states “there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID- 19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.”
Similarly, a May 2020 policy review paper published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases, concluded that “Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.” This is highly relevant, as the influenza virus is about twice the size of SARS-CoV-2. If masks cannot prevent transmission of influenza, they certainly cannot prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
How Effective (Ineffective) are the Various Kinds of Masks?
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised questions about the efficacy of wearing face masks to reduce the transmission of infectious disease. Health agencies are not always in agreement as to who should or should not be wearing masks. Experts were debating the effectiveness of wearing masks to reduce the risk of infection long before COVID-19 came into the picture. Certain masks are more useless than others, with valved masks being among the worst, followed by homemade cloth masks. This includes both commercial cloth masks and N95-rated masks with one or two exhale ports. The reason for this is because masks with breathing valves do not filter the out-breath.
The mandating of mask wearing has no basis in science. On the contrary, the available scientific evidence almost conclusively shows that mask wearing does not prevent the spread of infectious disease. Most studies have focused on influenza―and the results from such studies are more than sufficient, because Coronaviruses are about half the size of flu viruses. Therefore, if a mask cannot prevent the spread of the much larger influenza viruses, it is illogical to assume that masks can prevent the spread of a much smaller virus, especially if it is airborne. The ineffectiveness of masks is shown by the recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which reports that 71% of COVID-19 patients reported “always” wearing a cloth mask or face covering in the 14 days preceding their illness; 14% reported having worn a mask “often.” This proves, in part, the ineffectiveness of mask wearing ― for 71% of COVID patients were always wearing the mask and they still contracted COVID.
► SURGICAL MASKS
Surgical masks (currently the standard light blue masks handed out in some stores) were introduced nearly a century ago for the purpose of protecting patients during surgery. Yet, researchers continue to question whether this established routine is necessary. In one study published in 2016, scientists found no difference in the infection rates of patients undergoing “clean” surgery, whether the surgical team was masked or unmasked. A clean surgery was defined as one in which the lungs, gut, genitals and bladder were not involved.
Researchers have also questioned whether wearing masks during the cold season actually cuts down on the number of health care professionals who get sick. The researchers collected data for 77 consecutive days during cold season and determined whether a cold was present. The intervention group wore masks at work and the control group did not. During the study period, one individual in the intervention and one in the control group got a cold. Although the study was small, the researchers felt there was not enough evidence to demonstrate the benefits of mask-wearing for health care workers in terms of preventing cold symptoms.
Investigations into the effectiveness of masks continued with a study published in BMJ (British Medical Journal). Since the results were released in 2015, the researchers have responded to their data in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was aimed at comparing the effectiveness of cloth masks to that of medical masks in health care workers. They evaluated 14 secondary and tertiary level hospitals in Hanoi, Vietnam, using 1,607 participants who worked full-time in high-risk units. Their measurement outcome was clinical demonstration of respiratory illness, flu-like illness or laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection. The researchers found that those who wore cloth masks had a significantly higher rate of flu-like illness and all measured infections as compared to participants using medical masks. They cited moisture retention, reuse and poor filtration as potential reasons for the increased rates of infection. They wrote, “… cloth masks should not be recommended for HCWs [health care workers], particularly in high-risk situations, and guidelines need to be updated.”
► CLOTH MASKS
Just prior to the Coronavirus pandemic reaching the U.S., a team evaluated the effectiveness of low-cost cloth face masks. The team evaluated 20 types of cloth masks and found pore size could range from 80 to 500 nanometers. This is significantly larger than particulate matter with a diameter of 10 nanometers or less (PM10). They also found that the effectiveness was reduced by 20% after the mask had gone through the fourth cycle of washing and drying. Stretching of the surface altered pore size and washing reduced the number of microfibers within the pores, also altering the effectiveness of the mask. The study evaluated the effectiveness of reducing airflow in face covers with and without an outlet valve. They found that face covers without an outlet valve reduced the flow of air forward by more than 90%. Individuals using surgical, cloth masks and face shields had intense back and downward flow, which presents a hazard.
► N95 MASKS
Dr. Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, speaks of a study in 2006 in which researchers evaluated the development of headaches in health care workers who were using an N95 face mask. Using a survey, they found that 37.3% reported mask-associated headaches and 32.9% said that this happened more than six times per month. The researchers concluded that the N95 face mask could increase the risk of headaches in health care providers and that using them for shorter periods of time could reduce the frequency and severity of their headaches. Wearing an N95 mask for up to three hours could have also changed nasal function, making it more difficult to breathe after the mask was removed. Before Dr. Blaylock went on to discuss the new evidence suggesting Coronaviruses may enter the brain, he pointed out: “There is another danger to wearing these masks on a daily basis, especially if worn for several hours. When a person is infected with a respiratory virus, they will expel some of the virus with each breath. If they are wearing a mask, especially an N95 mask or other tightly fitting mask, they will be constantly re-breathing the viruses, raising the concentration of the virus in the lungs and the nasal passages. We know that people who have the worst reactions to the Coronavirus have the highest concentrations of the virus early on.”
Based on past evidence, Dr. Blaylock questions whether wearing a mask could also reintroduce exhaled viruses deep into the nasal cavity, driving up the amount of virus in the upper respiratory tract and increasing the potential to enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain.
While an N95-rated mask with exhale port will not protect others, it may, however, still offer some protection for the wearer. If you’re wearing a mask, N95-rated masks are the most effective choice. The caveat is that it must be properly fitted and put on and removed as instructed. Medical staff must go through fit tests for medical N95 masks, which makes them an impractical choice for the general public.
Masks Cannot Filter Out Airborne Viruses
Masks will not prevent you from exhaling or inhaling the aerosolized virus. Cloth masks are clearly also the least preferable option if you want to reduce the spread of infection, as their ability to block larger respiratory droplets is also limited. In particular, N95 masks with airflow valves on the front should be avoided, as the valve lets out unfiltered air, thus negating the small benefit — the reduction in respiratory droplet emissions — you might get from a mask.
Interestingly, Friday September 18th, 2020, the CDC posted updated COVID-19 guidance on its “How COVID-19 Spreads” page that, for the first time, mentioned aerosol (airborne) transmission of SARS-CoV-2, saying “this is thought to be the main way the virus spreads.” If SARS-CoV-2 spreads primarily via aerosols (airborne), then requiring people to wear masks is illogical, seeing how masks cannot filter out airborne viruses.
The CDC also noted that aerosolized (airborne) viruses can travel farther than 6 feet — which is logical seeing how aerosolized viruses can remain suspended in the air for hours — and that “indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk.” However, the CDC then deleted the mention of aerosols and the possibility of spread beyond 6 feet the following Monday, September 21st, saying a draft version of proposed changes had been posted “in error.”
As reported by Forbes: “Before Friday’s update, the CDC said large respiratory droplets (like from coughing or sneezing) at close range transmitted the virus, but now the now-deleted guidance added that ‘small particles, such as those in aerosols’ could infect people. There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet,’ the now-removed guidance stated … Scientists say the new CDC guidance is important because cloth masks aren’t designed to protect the wearer from aerosols.”
The last sentence is a key one. Understanding that SARS-CoV-2 is aerosolized (airborne) and can remain suspended in air “is important because cloth masks aren’t designed to protect the wearer from aerosols.” Masks also, of course, cannot protect others from aerosolized viruses exhaled by someone wearing a mask―because if you are exhaling the virus, it will pass through the mask relatively easily into the outside air.
According to NBC News, the fact that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne is “already well-known, according to infectious disease experts,” so it’s unclear why the CDC would not want that information on its website and has been remarkably slow in acknowledging it. One has to wonder whether its delayed acknowledgment and rapid removal of this information has something to do with the fact that, if SARS-CoV-2 spreads by being airborne, then requiring people to wear masks is illogical, because masks cannot filter out airborne viruses. All a mask can do is limit the spread of respiratory droplets that have been contaminated by the virus―but the virus itself is far smaller than the droplet it has contaminated. This has been the argument against mask wearing all along.
SARS-CoV-2 Is Airborne, Which Makes Masks Ineffective
Dr. Jill Weatherhead, assistant professor of infectious diseases at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, told NBC News that the admission that SARS-CoV-2 is aerosolized (airborne) was “not surprising or jarring.” The World Health Organization updated its COVID-19 guidance back in July to include aerosolized (i.e., airborne) transmission, at the urging of more than 200 scientists.
Joseph Allen, an associate professor in the department of environmental health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, also told NBC News that “The scientific community has been raising the alarm about this since February, that airborne spread can happen.” Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the school of public health at Brown University, commented on the CDC’s deletion of the information about the virus being airborne, saying: “This is so destructive to this incredibly wonderful agency that we have loved and admired our entire careers. This is amateur hour!”
Testimonies From True Medical Experts
► JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, agrees that face masks should only be used by “individuals who have symptoms of respiratory infection such as coughing, sneezing, or, in some cases, fever.” The authors go on to say there is no evidence masks used by healthy people can prevent others from becoming sick.
► DR. MICHAEL THOMAS OSTERHOLM (born 1953) is an American epidemiologist, regents professor, and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. On November 9th, 2020, he was named a member of President-elect Joe Biden's COVID-19 Advisory Board. He has stated that surgical masks are useless: “I do have concern about that some people are highly reliant right now on the use of face mask (i.e. surgical mask) protection and think that’s going to reduce transmission. It is not! … Surgical masks, we know, are largely ineffective in preventing virus transmission” (Dr. Osterholm, CNN interview with Peter Bergen, March 11th, 2020).
► DR. ANDREW BOSTOM, of Brown University, noted in a July 11th, 2020, Medium post: “… limited, immediate-term experimental observations — equivocal at best — provide no rational, evidence-based justification for daily, prolonged mask usage by the general public to prevent infection with COVID-19. An analysis of 10 controlled trials―assessing extended, real-world, non-health-care-setting mask usage―revealed that masking did not reduce the rate of laboratory-proven infections with the respiratory virus influenza. The findings from this unique report — published May 2020 by the CDC’s own ‘house journal’ ‘Emerging Infectious Diseases’ — were analyzed and pooled, applying a rigorous, standardized methodology. None of these studies detect a significant benefit of masking for the reduction of confirmed influenza infection … The authors further concluded, with a caution, that using face masks improperly might ‘increase the risk for (viral) transmission.’”
► DR. DENIS RANCOURT, Ph.D., a former full professor of physics and researcher with the Ontario Civil Liberties Association in Canada, says that all of the well-designed studies that have been published so far, have failed to find a statistically significant advantage to wearing a mask versus not wearing one.
► DR. JUDY MIKOVITS, Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology, says: “Can you believe they told everybody to wear a mask? If you have COPD and you wear a mask, you will kill yourself. You will cause the very disease you’re trying to prevent. Wearing the mask literally activates your own virus. You’re getting sick from your own reactivated Coronavirus expressions, and if it happens to be SARS-CoV-2, then you’ve got a big problem. Number one, if your mask is just this scarf cover of your face―all that does is make you breathe in and out. I see people running and riding bikes with these masks. It doesn’t prevent mold, mildew, all the stuff that’s in the air, the pollens [from] allergy season. Those go right there into your sinus cavity, into your nasopharyngeal cavity. You’re exercising. You’re breathing hard. You’re sucking that stuff into your lungs and you’re sucking back in CO2. We don’t do photosynthesis! We’re humans! We have to breathe oxygen! We can’t breathe back in our own toxic air! That’s why you exhale! That’s why you breathe deeply! That’s why you cough to expel a pathogen! If you cough in your own mask then you suppress your own immune system. You use your own “type one interferons” in your throat, in your nose, in your blood. It’s horribly immune suppressive. You’re not getting fresh air. You’re suppressing your immune response. You’re activating endogenous viruses. When you activate endogenous viruses, your immune system has to go and knock down those viruses. When you wear that mask, you’re concentrating antigens and you’re making yourself sicker. It is immune draining, not immune boosting. You’re making yourself sick with other sources. It makes no sense. You’re not preventing infection. I will not wear a mask. I just walk in the store and say, “Hey, I have a congenital lung disease, and I can’t wear a mask. Thank you very much for” ― I don’t say “for your stupidity” but ― “protecting me!” You don’t protect anybody. I worked in a bio-safety level three facility [laboratory] with HIV for 30 years. I pulled viruses out of saliva and blood. I never once wore a mask. I reminded Dr. Rossetti of this the other day. He said, “We wore masks.” I was like, “No, we didn’t! No, we didn’t!” We weren’t at risk until 2011 [when] it was realized that that mouse cancer causing retrovirus is contagious. Please take off the mask. Go outside if you’re healthy.”
► DR. RASHID BUTTAR says: “The information that the public needs to know is that staying home, wearing a mask is making everything worse. Wearing a mask? Remember ― we breathe in oxygen. When you wear a mask, you’re reducing the flow of oxygen. By reducing the flow of oxygen, you’re taxing your system. You’re going to cause a release of steroids, of cortisol, the stress hormone. When the stress hormone goes off, then you have a suppression of the immune system. That’s the reason that you have to be careful when you give transplant patients immune-suppressives to reduce their immune system so that doesn’t react [badly] to the organs. What did they die from? They die from infection. They die from opportunistic infection — things that wouldn’t have hurt you or me, but because the immune system has been rendered incapable of mounting a response from the steroids, that’s what they die from. They’re telling you [to] wear a mask ― which is now going to reduce your oxygen, which is going to stress your body, which is going to cause more cortisol production, which is going to suppress your immune system ― and now an opportunistic [infection] could cause a problem.”
► DR. RUSSELL BLAYLOCK, a neurosurgeon, warns that face masks: “… fail to protect the healthy from getting sick, but they also create serious health risks to the wearer. The bottom line is that if you are not sick, you should not wear a face mask. As for the scientific support for the use of face mask, a recent careful examination of the literature, in which 17 of the best studies were analyzed, concluded that: ‘None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.’ Keep in mind, no studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Any recommendations, therefore, have to be based on studies of influenza virus transmission. And, as you have seen, there is no conclusive evidence of their efficiency in controlling flu virus transmission.” He expressed some frustration at the wholesale use of face masks for the vulnerable and healthy individuals, pointing out, “When a person has TB, we have them wear a mask, not the entire community of non-infected.”
► DR. STANLEY YOUNG, Ph.D., an applied statistician who currently serves on the Environmental Protection Agency’s scientific advisory board. In an October 14th, 2020, article, he writes: “Dr. Mandy Cohen has told us we must wear masks in many kinds of settings. She told us that wearing the masks will help ‘fight’… SARS-CoV-2. Gov. Cooper has told us they are relying on ‘data and science.’ I am a scientist. I disagree.Not long ago, I considered the COVID data our health experts were giving us. If masks were so effective, why were we not seeing improvement in the numbers? I decided to dive into the literature ... I studied the studies and found one for influenza. The peer-reviewed meta-analysis study looked at flu viral transmission, using 10 randomized clinical trials. When you combine all 10, the study showed that the results are consistent with pure chance. The evidence suggested that the use of face masks―either by infected persons or by uninfected persons―does not have a substantial effect on influenza transmission … In pooled analysis, we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks. Adding up those infected while wearing a mask, 156 out of 3,495 persons which is 4.46%, and those infected while not wearing a mask, 161 out of 3,052 persons which is 5.23%, the results are consistent with chance.
“I presented my opinion to Dr. Cohen and her staff. After some prodding, Mr. Fleischman, a senior official, provided me with another study that dealt specifically with the COVID-19 virus. The study looked at transmission of the virus. A total of 19 randomized studies were summarized. Here is what they had to say, ‘Medical masks were not effective, and cloth masks even less effective.’ Masks have always only been thought to stop large droplets. Transmission through very fine droplets cannot be stopped by ordinary masks. Most recently, the CDC has confirmed that the virus can be transmitted through fine droplets. The analysis that Mr. Fleischman had sent me supports this claim because, again, it showed no benefit to wearing masks. Incidentally, the Netherlands recently dropped the mask mandate saying the research did not support wearing them. These two scientific studies provide no scientific basis for one size fits all [universal mandatory masking]; if public health officials and politicians continue with mask mandates, then informed citizens might question if current policy is intended more to scare them, than follow the science.”
► DR. ROGER HODKINSON, one of Canada’s top pathologists and an expert in virology, more importantly, he the CEO of Western Medical Assessments, a biotech company that manufactures COVID-19 PCR tests. Since he manufactures the PCR test kits he says sarcastically: “I might know a ittle bit about all this!” He stressed that PCR tests simply cannot diagnose infection and mass testing should therefore cease immediately. He also pointed out that social distancing is useless as the virus “is spread by aerosols [tiny droplets] which travel 30 meters [33 yards] or so.” As for face masks, Hodkinson stated that: “Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever. Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signaling. They’re not even worn effectively most of the time. It is utterly ridiculous. Seeing these unfortunate, uneducated people — I’m not saying that in a pejorative sense — seeing these people walking around like lemmings obeying, without any knowledge base, to put the mask on their face!”
► DENMARK’S MEDICAL RESEARCHERS ― Perhaps the most damning evidence of all is that of Danish researchers who recently conducted a randomized trial in an effort to prove the usefulness of face masks against COVID-19 infection―but ended up proving the opposite. They now are complaining they cannot find a publisher who will publish their findings! Hmm! Medical peer review journals are simply refusing to accept the paper. Why? Hmm! The study, which is currently only available in German, concluded tens of millions of contaminations can occur each day as people use the masks inappropriately, touch their faces and neglect to wash their hands. For this reason, universal mask wearing may actually do more harm than good. This is clearly important information that should be communicated to the general public, yet medical journals are shunning the research paper and its surprising findings, probably because it doesn’t align with their narrative that supports universal mask recommendations.
Flip-Flopping Fauci
Dr. Anthony Fauci has been made out to be the prominent public leader and expert for the Coronavirus response in the U.S., but his flip-flopping betrays either a lack of “expertise” or a more nefarious tactic of deliberate misinformation. Way back in March, in a 60 Minute COVID-19 segment that was broadcast on March 8th, 2020, Fauci said masks are “important for someone who is infected to prevent them from infecting someone else,” but that “right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks; there’s no reason to walk around with a mask.” He also noted that “when you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask may make you feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.” He also pointed out there are unintended consequences of mask wearing that can increase your infection risk, things like touching your mask and then touching your face.
A couple weeks later, in early April 2020, he suddenly did a radical about-turn and changed his message, urging people to wear cloth masks in public unless they could maintain a 6-foot distance from others.
By mid-June 2020, when pressed about his turnabout on masks, he stated he’d initially downplayed the benefits of face masks, due to concerns about personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages. The clear subtext was “I lied to you because I thought it was for the greater good.” If he is willing to lie about this, how can he possibly be trusted about other recommendations? In March, he accurately confirmed that masks are ineffective and offer a false sense of security. Then, when he did recommend mask wearing, he recommended wearing the least effective mask alternative — cloth masks, for which there are no standards at all.
At the end of July 2020 — just days after getting caught at a baseball game with his mask pulled below his chin — Fauci started recommending the addition of face shields to protect the mucous membranes of your eyes. Then, October 23rd, 2020, he suddenly announced his support for a federal mask mandate to ensure nationwide compliance.
As reported by Life Site News, July 31st, 2020: “Fauci … suggested that masking should morph from a temporary emergency measure to a permanent seasonal practice: ‘It is inevitable that we're going to have some degree of flu. I'm hoping that the wearing of masks and other coverings are going to not only protect us against COVID-19, but also help protect us against influenza.’” In what appears to be an effort to back up the mask mandates for COVID-19, Fauci is now also endorsing the wearing of masks during every influenza season going forward.
Why? Not only has the science not changed — it still shows masks do not decrease infection rates — but a federal mandate also fails to take into account the level of threat in individual states or cities. What’s more, in a September 15th, 2020, press conference, he stated that “a national mandate probably would not work.”
Some areas have and are doing quite well in terms of infection rates, hospitalizations and deaths. Why should people in those areas be forced to wear masks even in the absence of a significant threat? (And that’s supposing masks worked in the first place.) As reported by CNN October 23rd, 2020:
“‘If people are not wearing masks, then maybe we should be mandating it,’ the leading infectious disease expert [Fauci] told CNN’s Erin Burnett Friday … Mask mandates may be tricky to enforce, but it might be time to call for them, Fauci said.‘There’s going to be a difficulty enforcing it, but if everyone agrees that this is something that’s important and they mandate it and everybody pulls together and says, you know, we’re going to mandate it but let’s just do it, I think that would be a great idea to have everybody do it uniformly,’ he said. As cooler weather comes, people need to ‘double down’ on measures that work, Fauci said. ‘Universal mask wearing’ is one, he said, as is keeping a distance from others and frequent hand washing.”
Ironically, Fauci has stated that “the data on face masks speaks for itself.” Now, if we were all to agree that the data does speak for itself, then there would be no mask mandates―because the data clearly do NOT support this measure for the public at large.
Strangely, mask mandates continue to flourish despite health agencies own research showing it’s a futile measure that only provides a false sense of security:
- The World Health Organization’s June 5th, 2020, guidance memo20 on face mask use states “there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID- 19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.”
- According to a policy review paper21 published in the CDC’s own journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases, in May 2020: “Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”
- The National Academies of Sciences in its Rapid Expert Consultation on the Effectiveness of Fabric Masks for the COVID-19 Pandemic report,22 published April 8th, 2020, concluded “The evidence from … laboratory filtration studies suggest that … fabric masks may reduce the transmission of larger respiratory droplets,” but that “There is little evidence regarding the transmission of small aerosolized particulates of the size potentially exhaled by asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic individuals with COVID-19.”
Why Are They so Persistent With Mask Recommendations?
Considering the strong scientific evidence against it, why are governments so persistent in their recommendation of mask wearing? Clearly, for many, wearing a bandana or cloth mask provides a form of psychological defense, a way to feel less fearful because it feels like you’re doing something to protect yourself and others. But it’s a false sense of security.
But with COVID-19 fatality rates as low as they are, why would governments be pushing for a false sense of security? According to a September 2nd, 2020, study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the overall non-institutionalized COVID-19 fatality ratio is 0.26%. For those younger than 40, the infection fatality ratio is 0.01%, while those aged 60 or older have a fatality ratio of 1.71%. The estimated infection fatality rate for seasonal influenza listed in this paper is 0.8%. So, the only people for whom SARS-CoV-2 infection is more dangerous than influenza, is those who are over the age of 60.
Mandatory mask wearing, social distancing, lockdowns and business shut-downs are clearly completely unnecessary at this point, unless your goal is to increase fear, tyranny; crash the economy and transfer of wealth to the upper 0.001% who can benefit from collapsing the economy. Furthermore, it seems mask requirements are being used as a psychological manipulation tool to encourage compliance with vaccination once a vaccine becomes available. It can also be viewed as a badge of submission to tyranny. The future tradeoff that will be offered to everyone: Mask mandates will be dropped provided everyone gets vaccinated. By then, many may be willing to take or do just about anything, as long as they don’t have to wear a mask anymore — although some warn that masks may remain a requirement for years to come, even with a vaccine.
You cannot repeat enough times the quote of William Casey, CIA Director from 1981 to 1987, to President Reagan in a briefing shortly after he took office: “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false!” One of the aides to President Reagan confirmed that quote: That person in Barbara Honegger ― Assistant to the Chief Domestic Policy Adviser to President Reagan. Barbara Honegger said: “I am the source for this quote, which was indeed said by CIA Director, William Casey, at an early February 1981 meeting of the newly elected President Reagan with his new cabinet secretaries, to report to him on what they had learned about their agencies in the first couple of weeks of the administration. The meeting was in the Roosevelt Room in the West Wing of the White House, not far from the Cabinet Room. I was present at the meeting as Assistant to the chief domestic policy adviser to the President. Casey first told Reagan that he had been astonished to discover that over 80% of the ‘intelligence’― that the analysis side of the CIA produced ― was based on open public sources like newspapers and magazines. As he did to all the other secretaries of their departments and agencies, Reagan asked [Casey] what he saw as his goal as director for the CIA, to which he [Casey] replied with this quote―[“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false!”], which I recorded in my notes of the meeting as he said it. Shortly thereafter I told Senior White House correspondent Sarah McClendon, who was a close friend and colleague, who in turn made it public.” (Barbara Honegger, Assistant to the Chief Domestic Policy Adviser to President Reagan).

Defining the Obvious or Not So Obvious
It is a sad day when you have to explain the obvious because the obvious is obviously not so obvious to some people. The meaning of the term “common sense” should be pretty obvious―but obviously it is no longer the case, since “common sense” seems to be not very “common” these days!
They say that one of the many, many, many, many symptoms of COVID-19 is the loss of the sense of smell―what they don’t tell you is that you not only lose the sense of smell―but you also lose common sense! Some people anxiously ask: “Will my sense of smell return?” ― whereas they should be asking: “Will my common sense return?” In fact, by losing your “common sense” you could open yourself up for a far more dangerous virus―which goes by the name of “nonsense”! The problem with the deadly virus of “nonsense” is that it can both show symptoms and also show no symptoms (asymptomatic)―that means to say that you could be full of “nonsense” and be audibly heard to be speaking absolute obvious gibberish and stupidity, but you could also be full of “nonsense” and seem to be speaking coherently and truthfully!
Unless great care is taken, exposure to the virus of “nonsense” will quickly lead to the death of common sense! You should socially distance from anyone whom you suspect as having the virus of “nonsense”―also, frequent “washing” of the mind with “sensible” reading, and insisting that those who have already contracted the virus of “nonsense” wear a mask, or even better, duct-tape, prevent them from speaking allowing droplets of “nonsense” to come forth out of their mouths! In extreme cases of “nonsense”, lockdowns, quarantining and self-isolation can be of great help in marginalizing the “nonsense” and preserving common sense!
An Obituary to Common Sense
Sadly, though, with this pandemic of “nonsense”, never before has the world seen such demise, death and destruction of common sense! In every country, in every race, in every religion, in every household it has been shown that common sense is not safe anymore from the highly infectious virus of “nonsense”! In the highly likely event of someone in your circle of family and friends succumbing to this “nonsense” and sadly seeing their common sense die―here is a universal obituary that you can have printed and circulated at the funeral of common sense:
“Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
“He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
Why the early bird gets the worm;
That life isn’t always fair,
and that maybe it was my fault.
“Common sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults are in charge not children, and don’t believe everything you read, are told, or hear). Common sense believed in God and Holy Scripture, especially when it said: “Vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars, that by vanity they may together deceive! Every man is a liar!” (Psalms 61:10; 115:11).
“His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned, but overbearing, regulations were set in place. Reports of an 8-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate on the cheek; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
“Common sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. Common sense declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun-lotion or an aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
“Common sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments were commanded to be removed, churches became businesses, and criminals received better treatment than their victims, and politicians acted like criminals.
“Common sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
“Common sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
“Common sense was preceded in death, by
His parents, Truth and Trust
His wife, Discretion
His daughter, Responsibility
His son, Reason.
“He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers
I know my rights
I want my rights
I want it now
I’m a victim.
“Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.”
The Virus of Nonsense is Everywhere!
► OLD MAN MUST SHOW ID BEFORE BEING SERVED ALCOHOL ― Being “carded” ― or asked to show your ID that verifies your age ― when buying an alcoholic drink, is sometimes the norm when you are an especially youthful looking person. But one old man was “carded” when buying a beer in a restaurant in the Orlando airport. The waitress asked to see his ID. He leaned over closer to her face so that could see that he was about the age of her grandfather. Then he asked her if she was kidding. He then told her that he had a granddaughter that was probably of the legal drinking age. None of this mattered, of course. “Rules is rules!” she said. He handed over his driver’s license and watched to see the license a brief glance―thereby signaling that she realized the silliness of the situation, but she had to obey silly rules that lacked common sense. Instead, she looked at it very carefully, trying to compute his age from the birth date on the license. It was ‘normal’ for her lack of common sense!
► PLANE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE AND DEFUMIGATED BECAUSE A MOSQUITO WAS ON BOARD ― A flight was delayed by more than two hours with no explanation given―it seems to be the “new normal”. However, for this particular flight the reason finally came out. It seems that someone had reported one or more mosquitoes on the plane on an incoming flight―so the ground crew insisted on fumigating with the result that the flight crew refused to fly a recently fumigated plane. So everyone had to wait a couple of hours for them to find another plane. How ridiculous can you get? They couldn’t fly with a single mosquito airborne! Perhaps they should have called for the local SWAT team to come out and take care of business!
► CONVICTS FREED, BUT HAIRDESSER JAILED BECAUSE OF CORONAVIRUS ― Convicts in some states are being set free because the virus can spread quickly inside a prison. Okay — but a Texas hairdresser, Shelley Luther, with no criminal record whatsoever, is sent to jail for opening her salon when she was supposed to keep it closed. Does this make sense? Sending Shelley Luther to jail because she was trying to earn money to feed her family, is more than a little harsh, people with common sense might think. Shelley Luther was released when the Texas governor issued a revised Executive Order, essentially saying that “Throwing Texans in jail who have had their businesses shut down through no fault of their own is nonsensical, and I will not allow it to happen.” Was he guilty of exercising common sense during an epidemic of “nonsense”?
► 5-YEAR-OLD HANDCUFFED AND TAKEN AWAY BY POLICE FOR DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR ― Called to a Florida school that could not cope, police led the disorderly student away in handcuffs, all 40 pounds of her 5-year-old self. Schools in Broward County, Florida, banned running at recess. No official at the Florida school would put a restraining arm around the misbehaving child, for fear of being sued, as one young teacher was, for $20 million (the school settled for $90,000), because the teacher put a hand on the back of a turbulent seventh-grader to direct him to leave the classroom. Another teacher’s career was ruined by accusations arising from her having positioned a child's fingers on a flute. A 2004 survey reported that 78% of middle and high school teachers have been subjected to legal threats from students bristling with rights. Students, sensing the anxiety that seizes schools when law intrudes into incidental relations, challenge the authority of teachers.
► PLAYGROUND LAWSUITS ― Someone hurt while running at recess could sue the school district for inadequate supervision of the runner, as Broward County in Florida well knows! It settled 189 playground lawsuits in five years. In Indiana, a boy did what boys do―he went down a slide head first ― but also broke his femur (thigh bone). The school district was sued for inadequate supervision. Due to fears of such liabilities, playgrounds, all over America, have been stripped of the equipment that once made them fun for children. So now, instead of healthy physical outdoor activities, you now have millions of obese children sitting in front of televisions and computer terminals, who, instead of being casualties of the playground, are now casualties of what one attorney calls “a bubble wrap approach to child rearing” produced by the “cult of safety.”
► LUDICROUS LAWSUITS ― Lawsuits express the theory that anyone should be able to sue to assert that someone is culpable for even an idiotic action by the plaintiff. A predictable byproduct of this theory is brazen cynicism, encouraged by what one “common sense” attorney who sees modern-day trial lawyers as “congregating at the intersection of human tragedy and human greed.” Thus, we see in the case of a volunteer for a Catholic charity in Milwaukee, who ran a red light and seriously injured another person, but did not have “deep pockets”, so the injured person sued the archdiocese instead ― and successfully came out with $17 million.
How Dumb Can You Get? You Will Be Surprised!
If anything has masked the stupidity of people, then it is the mask, or the wearing of masks. We usually wear masks to mask or disguise ourselves and make it impossible for others to see who we really are. Well, in the case of the Planndemic masks, the mask fails to mask or hide from view the stupidity of the wearer. Mask wearing is mental insanity. In both theory and actual fact, masks cannot possibly work and achieve what the mask-enforcers claim. Their position is not based on science, but rather, irrational fear, and irrational expectations that masks work, when they cannot and do not work. Since their position is based on insanity and the fraud that masks work―the demands for mandatory masking cannot be said to follow the law and be “reasonable”. You could, in a loose sense, say that mask wearing causes temporary or permanent insanity and manifests in the mask-wearer an alarming absence of logic and common sense, together with frightening symptoms naivety, gullibility and irrationality.
You could almost compare the “Mask Mandate” with Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale of “The Emperor’s Invisible Suit of Clothes” ― wherein two fraudster tailors convince the gullible Emperor that they have the skill to make the most beautiful clothes with invisible thread. The invisible clothes will be invisible to those who are stupid, but “wise” persons will be able to see the invisible clothes in all their beauty. From time to time, as they busily work weaving their invisible thread, they keep showing the emperor and his courtiers the wonderful progress in the making of the invisible suit of clothes. Everyone―not wanting to look stupid―commented on how beautiful the clothes were beginning to look (even though, in reality, there were no clothes to be seen). Eventually, the emperor came for his fitting. He placed each arm and leg in the “sleeves” and “leggings” of the invisible clothes and stood naked in front of the mirror praising the finished (invisible) costume. Then he announced that he would parade his new suit of invisible clothes in a public procession. While he walked naked in the procession, all the citizens―not wishing to look stupid―shouted out their praises for the emperor’s new invisible suit of clothes―until, finally, one little boy blurted out: “The Emperor is naked!” That comment burst the bubble of mass insanity and the crowd began to laugh at the naked emperor. Can you not see the parallels with the Covid-mask?
For some people, being seen walking round without a mask was almost like walking around naked―everyone could SEE YOUR FACE!! Makes you wonder what Adam and Eve would have thought about wearing a mask? If they had worn a mask, would the virus of Original Sin ever have been created? The mandating of mask wearing has no basis in science. On the contrary, the available scientific evidence almost conclusively shows that mask wearing does not prevent the spread of infectious disease. The ineffectiveness of masks is shown by the recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which reports that 71% of COVID-19 patients reported “always” wearing a cloth mask or face covering in the 14 days preceding their illness; 14% reported having worn a mask “often.” This proves, in part, the ineffectiveness of mask wearing ― for 71% of COVID patients were always wearing the mask and they still contracted COVID.
In a 2016 study, surgical masks (currently the standard light blue masks handed out in some stores) did not show enough evidence to demonstrate the benefits of mask-wearing for health care workers in terms of preventing cold symptoms.
A study published in BMJ (British Medical Journal) aimed at comparing the effectiveness of cloth masks to that of medical masks, found that those who wore cloth masks had a significantly higher rate of flu-like illness and all measured infections as compared to participants using medical masks. They cited moisture retention, reuse and poor filtration as potential reasons for the increased rates of infection.
Very few people know this, nor do they care to know―for, as they say, “Ignorance is bliss!” (or should that say: “Stupidity is sweet!”). To find this out means doing some research as opposed to stupidly swallowing sound bites from mainstream media moguls―to whom a lie is truth when it is useful or profitable, and who will paint truth as lies for the same reasons.
MASK STUPIDITY #1 ― SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter between 0.06 and 0.14 microns. The very best Medical N95 masks — which are considered and touted as being the most effective — can only filter particles as small as 0.3 microns ― but SARS-CoV-2 is even smaller! Health agencies’ own research show it’s a futile measure that only provides a false sense of security. To put it in simple man on the street terms ― let’s pretend the micron is one inch (in reality a micron is one twenty-five thousandth of an inch). In this “pretend scenario” the SARS-CoV-2 virus would have a diameter anywhere from six-hundredths of an inch (6/100 or 1/16) to fourteen hundredths of an inch (14/100 or 1/7), whereas the diameter or space between the strands of the mask would thirty hundredths of an inch (30/100 or 3/10). So as you can see, the spaces in the mask are anywhere from 2 to 5 times bigger than the space the tiny virus needs to pass through. The virus sails through with no problem! And we are talking about the very best masks that are available (in limited numbers) to the general public. The other kinds of masks ― surgical masks, homemade masks, T-shirts and bandanas ― are even more porous.
The particle size of the Coronavirus is typically 1/1000th of the size of the spacing between threads of the mask itself. A Coronavirus is anywhere from 0.06 to 0.14 microns―giving an average of around 0.1 microns. Holes in cloth masks are up to 100 microns. If you “zoom in” this is like expecting two threads, spaced as far apart as three football fields, 900 feet, to filter out a shoe the size of one foot. That is insane! Furthermore, there are 1000 microns per millimeter. The air gaps around the mask, by the nose, if they are half a centimeter, are 5,000 microns. A Coronavirus is on average 0.1 microns. The difference is 50,000 times in size. This gap is so big, and the virus is so small, it’s like two lines, 10 miles apart, (52,800 feet) trying to filter out a basketball (just under a foot).
Mask wearing is mental insanity. In both theory and actual fact, masks cannot possibly work and achieve what the mask-enforcers claim. Their position is not based on science, but rather, irrational fear, and irrational expectations that masks work, when they cannot and do not work. Since their position is based on insanity and the fraud that masks work―the demands for mandatory masking cannot be said to follow the law and be “reasonable”. The demand by stores that customers wear masks, fraudulently assumes that masks work. They do not. Air easily slips around all masks, such as the very large air gaps around the nose, cheeks and chin.
MASK STUPIDITY #2 ― As they say: “You are what you eat!” You could also say: “You are what you breathe!” Some people cannot see beyond the end of their nose―or beyond the mask on the end of their nose! Give a baby a glass of ammonia and there is a good chance that he will taste it―give an idiot a mask and there is good chance he will wear it! Microbes from your mouth frequently enter your lungs. Researchers from New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine revealed these oral microbes are associated with cancer. Wearing a mask would accelerate the accumulation of oral microbes in your lungs. The National Institutes of Health conducted a study that confirmed when you wear a mask most of the water vapor that you would normally exhale, remains in the mask fibers, becomes condensed and is re-inhaled. Not to mention, the humidity inside the mask will allow pathogenic bacteria to rapidly grow and multiply and, since the mask makes it more difficult to breathe, you’re likely to breathe heavier, thereby risking inhaling the microbes even deeper inside your lungs.
It’s largely and falsely assumed that face masks are “safe” for children to wear for long periods―such as during school―but no risk assessment has ever been carried out. Germany’s recently conducted a study on mask-wearing with 25,930 children. The result showed 24 health issues that were associated with wearing masks that fell into the categories of physical, psychological and behavioral issues. They recorded symptoms that: “… included irritability (60%), headache (53%), difficulty concentrating (50%), less happiness (49%), reluctance to go to school/kindergarten (44%), malaise (42%), impaired learning (38%) and drowsiness or fatigue (37%).” They also found 30% reported feeling short of breath, 26% being dizzy and 18% were unwilling to move or play. Hundreds more experienced “accelerated respiration, tightness in chest, weakness and short-term impairment of consciousness.”
What people fail to realize is that when they wear a face mask, they are breathing in the plastic particles that it is made from―the longer you wear it, the more you breathe-in. With extended use, medical masks will begin to break down and release chemicals that are then inhaled. Tiny microfibers are also released, which can cause health problems when inhaled. Not only that, but those plastic particles are also passed onto the fetuses of pregnant women. Animal studies show that inhaled plastic particles pass through the placenta and into the heart and brains of fetuses. The fetuses exposed to the micro-plastics also gained less weight in the later part of the pregnancy. Dr. Phoebe Stapleton, the lead researcher of Rutgers University told The Guardian newspaper: “We found the plastic nano-particles everywhere we looked — in the maternal tissues, in the placenta and in the fetal tissues. We found them in the fetal heart, brain, lungs, liver and kidney.”
MASK STUPIDITY #3 ― Some people stupidly believe the saying: “What you don't know can't hurt you!” In that case, life should be a Paradise on Earth for the stupid! Maybe Our Lord should have added that one to His Eight Beatitudes: “Blessed are the stupid, who know nothing―for no harm shall come to them!” Dr. Jim Meehan, an ophthalmologist and preventive medicine specialist, who has performed more than 10,000 surgical procedures, and is also a former editor of the medical journal Ocular Immunology and Inflammation, also conducted an evidence-based scientific analysis on masks, which shows that not only should healthy people not be wearing masks, but they could be harmed as a result. Dr. Meehan suggests that the notion of mask-wearing defies common sense and reason, considering that most of the population is at very low or almost no risk of becoming severely ill from COVID-19. He also compiled 17 ways that masks can cause harm―here are most of them:
(1) Medical masks adversely affect respiratory physiology and function.
(2) Medical masks lower oxygen levels in the blood.
(3) Medical masks raise carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
(4) SARS-CoV-2 has a “furin cleavage” site that makes it more pathogenic, and the virus enters cells more easily when artery oxygen levels decline, which means wearing a mask could increase COVID-19 severity.
(5) Medical masks trap exhaled virus in the mouth/mask, increasing viral/infectious load and increasing disease severity.
(6) SARS-CoV-2 becomes more dangerous when blood oxygen levels decline.
(7) Cloth masks may increase the risk of contracting COVID-19 and other respiratory infections.
(8) Masks compromise communications and reduce social distancing.
(9) Untrained and inappropriate management of face masks is common.
(10) Masks worn imperfectly are dangerous.
(11) Masks collect and colonize viruses, bacteria and mold.
(12) Face masks and stay at home orders prevent the development of herd immunity.
(13) Face masks are dangerous and are not recommended for people with pre-existing medical conditions and disabilities.
MASK STUPIDITY #4 ― Increasing numbers of medical professionals and occupational respirator experts have warned that wearing of face masks may have adverse health effects and that people really should not be forced to wear them on a regular basis. Aside from that, there’s a glaring lack of evidence proving they actually prevent viral illness. On the contrary, the evidence overwhelmingly shows they have little to no impact on viral spread. Despite all of that, government officials insist that universal mask wearing is an essential strategy to combat COVID-19, now even recommending wearing two, three, or even four layers of face masks! According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, Americans may have to wear masks all the way through 2022! Stupid is as stupid does!
Just when you thought mainstream propaganda could not propose a greater irrational perversion of the truth, a new study from the National Institutes of Health claims wearing a moist mask — which, in reality, is a breeding ground for harmful bacteria — is actually ‘good’ for you, because inhaling through the wet mask hydrates your lungs and boosts your immune system. However, it’s important to realize that the humidity inside the mask will allow pathogenic bacteria to rapidly grow and multiply — a documented fact not addressed by the National Institutes of Health — and since the mask makes it more difficult to breathe, you’re likely to breathe heavier, thereby risking inhaling the microbes deep inside your lungs. The health risks and dangers far outweigh any benefit you might get from breathing more humid air!
MASK STUPIDITY #5 ― This is a two-sided stupidity―one being on the side of the authorities, the other being on the side of the mask-wearers. Once again, let it be said that the masks are ineffective in filtering-out airborne droplets that many times smaller than the gaps between the mask fibers. Nevertheless, let us insanely pretend that the masks are effective, but they are meant to be disposed of after one single use, or, if they are of the washable variety, they are meant to be washed to remove and/or kill the virus.
It is known that exposure to high temperatures can kill Coronaviruses. In fact, inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces speeds up as temperature and humidity increase. However, the exact temperature and time it takes to kill the virus can vary depending on various factors. These can include things like the amount of virus that’s present as well as the surface type. Basically, researchers estimated that most Coronaviruses would be almost completely killed after exposure to temperatures of 149 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius) or higher for longer than 3 minutes. The researchers also noted that:
For temperatures lower than 149 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius), a longer exposure time has to be used. For example, the Coronavirus may need to be exposed to temperatures of between 122 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit (50 and 55 degrees Celsius) for 20 minutes to be killed.
A study published in The Lancet Microbe looked at how temperature affected high amounts of SARS-CoV-2 in laboratory media. The researchers found that the virus was killed after 5 minutes at 158 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius).
One study in Applied Physics Letters used mathematical modeling to predict the effect of different temperatures on SARS-CoV-2. The model estimated that the virus would be killed after an average of 2.5 minutes at 158 degrees Fahrenheit 70°C (70 degrees Celsius).
A study in Emerging Infectious Diseases assessed different ways to decontaminate N95 respirators. The researchers found that temperatures of 70°C (158 degrees Fahrenheit) killed the new Coronavirus on N95 respirators after about 1 hour.
In summary, then, you need a minimal temperature of 149 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius) or higher to kill the virus with heat. So what kind of heat does the hot water from your hot-water tap or faucet produce? What kind of heat the hot water from your laundry washing machine produce? What kind of heat your laundry dryer produce? In laundry washing terms, hot water is considered to be 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Celsius) or above. Hot water coming from your tap/faucet is usually 110 or 120 degrees Fahrenheit. On average, most laundry dryers heat the air to 125 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit. So none of them come close to the minimal 149 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius) to kill the virus. The boiling temperature of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius).
The bottom line is this―even if the masks were effective in trapping all the virus droplets (which it cannot do), are people washing their washable masks after each use? No way! Not in a million years! Most wear the same mask day-in-day-out, for economic reasons or out of sheer laziness in having to change the mask, or wash the mask daily. Even they did wash them, they might remove some droplets but the customary water temperature for faucets/taps and washing machines is way below the temperature required to kill the virus. A case of stupid if you wash and stupid if you don’t―because masks are ineffective and also because the water temperature is ineffective in killing the virus.
MASK STUPIDITY #6 ― Wearing the mask when alone has to be one of the pinnacles of stupidity. You see these people―outdoors in the fresh air, miles away from anyone else with no immediate chance of contact―and they are happily wearing a mask. Then there are their stupid cousins, who are driving all alone in a car while wearing a mask! Are they afraid that they might catch the virus from their guardian angel? It would be interesting to know how many people wear a mask when they are alone at home? What about when eating? If you logically follow all the propaganda, wouldn’t it make sense to make a hole for a straw and have all your food liquidized, so that you can suck it through the hole? Why risk contamination and death for a mere bite of food! Why not boil everything you eat? Heck! Better safe than sorry!
MASK STUPIDITY #7 ― Let us stop at 7 stupidities. For just as there are the Seven Deadly Sins, let there be Seven Masked Stupidities. This seventh stupidity is the way people wear their masks. The World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Health (NIH) all tell us that the masks―in order for them to be effective―must be properly fitted and worn correctly while in place. Here is a summary from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention):
GENERAL TIPS FOR PROPER MASK USAGE
► WEAR YOUR MASK CORRECTLY
● Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before putting on your mask. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Put the mask over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Fit the mask snugly against the sides of your face, slipping the loops over your ears or tying the strings behind your head. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● If you have to continually adjust your mask, it doesn’t fit properly, and you might need to find a different mask type or brand. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Make sure you can breathe easily. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS? WELL THEY DO―THEY PULLTHE MASK BELOW THEIR NOSE!
► HOW TO STORE AND WASH MASKS CORRECTLY
● Always wash your hands before handling the mask: Use a hand sanitizer with 60% alcohol or soap and warm water to wash your hands before removing or adjusting your mask. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Whether reusable or disposable, do not touch the mask: Use strings, loops, or straps that keep your mask fastened to your ears/head to remove the mask. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Designate a clean space to keep your masks when not in use: It's important to think about storing your masks in a sanitized, breathable environment. This applies at home and on-the-go. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Dispose of surgical and N95 masks after one use: If a surgical mask is damp, that's generally an indication you should switch it out for a new one. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● For cloth masks, aim to wash it after every use: Wash your mask on high heat using soap and water. According to WHO, heat of 133°F can kill the Coronavirus (what they don’t tell you is that it only works if the virus is exposed to that temperature for a LONG TIME). If your mask has a filter, make sure to remove it before washing and replace it with a new one after. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● When disposing of your mask, cut off the strings: Early research indicates that disposable masks may pose an environmental issue. Additionally, some anecdotal reports have shown that animals like birds can get trapped in or choke on surgical masks. For this reason, cutting off the strings of the mask before disposing of them reduces the risk of animal harm. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Double-masking can provide extra protection: In order to provide an extra layer of protection with masks, you can use three layers of cloth to create a more secure barrier. This could look like a cloth mask and a surgical mask, or a cloth mask that has three layers sewn in. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Hang your mask in direct sunlight to dry completely. If you cannot hang it in direct sunlight, hang or lay it flat and let it dry completely. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
► DO’S AND DON’TS
DOS
● Wear a mask over your nose and mouth to help prevent getting and spreading COVID-19.
● Wear a mask in public settings when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when indoors and when it may be difficult for you to stay six feet apart from people who don’t live with you.
● Wear a mask correctly for maximum protection.
● Wear your mask under your scarf, ski mask, or balaclava in cold weather
● Keep a spare mask to replace one that becomes wet from moisture in your breath, snow, or rain.
● Store wet reusable masks in a plastic bag, until they can be washed.
DON’TS
● Put the mask around your neck or up on your forehead.
● Touch the mask, and, if you do, wash your hands or use hand sanitizer.
If all of these above things are so incredibly crucial and if they are supposed to save precious lives―then why do not the authorities take tough measures on those who do not comply? Why do they not hammer and hammer the above points ad nauseam until people are saying the rules out loud while they sleep. Why not interrogate people at random to see if they can regurgitate all of the above rules and recommendations? Why not have classes on those rules and recommendations and oblige “rule breakers” to attend them for a month or more? Why not have random “mask tests” in stores, supermarkets, malls, etc. where your mask is tested for cleanliness and all the other minimal requirements? All we hear is “Wear a mask!” but they don’t really give a damn if you have it fitted correctly, are wearing it properly, or if you have had it washed!
It is a sad day when you have to explain the obvious because the obvious is obviously not so obvious to some people. The meaning of the term “common sense” should be pretty obvious―but obviously it is no longer the case, since “common sense” seems to be not very “common” these days!
They say that one of the many, many, many, many symptoms of COVID-19 is the loss of the sense of smell―what they don’t tell you is that you not only lose the sense of smell―but you also lose common sense! Some people anxiously ask: “Will my sense of smell return?” ― whereas they should be asking: “Will my common sense return?” In fact, by losing your “common sense” you could open yourself up for a far more dangerous virus―which goes by the name of “nonsense”! The problem with the deadly virus of “nonsense” is that it can both show symptoms and also show no symptoms (asymptomatic)―that means to say that you could be full of “nonsense” and be audibly heard to be speaking absolute obvious gibberish and stupidity, but you could also be full of “nonsense” and seem to be speaking coherently and truthfully!
Unless great care is taken, exposure to the virus of “nonsense” will quickly lead to the death of common sense! You should socially distance from anyone whom you suspect as having the virus of “nonsense”―also, frequent “washing” of the mind with “sensible” reading, and insisting that those who have already contracted the virus of “nonsense” wear a mask, or even better, duct-tape, prevent them from speaking allowing droplets of “nonsense” to come forth out of their mouths! In extreme cases of “nonsense”, lockdowns, quarantining and self-isolation can be of great help in marginalizing the “nonsense” and preserving common sense!
An Obituary to Common Sense
Sadly, though, with this pandemic of “nonsense”, never before has the world seen such demise, death and destruction of common sense! In every country, in every race, in every religion, in every household it has been shown that common sense is not safe anymore from the highly infectious virus of “nonsense”! In the highly likely event of someone in your circle of family and friends succumbing to this “nonsense” and sadly seeing their common sense die―here is a universal obituary that you can have printed and circulated at the funeral of common sense:
“Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
“He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
Why the early bird gets the worm;
That life isn’t always fair,
and that maybe it was my fault.
“Common sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults are in charge not children, and don’t believe everything you read, are told, or hear). Common sense believed in God and Holy Scripture, especially when it said: “Vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars, that by vanity they may together deceive! Every man is a liar!” (Psalms 61:10; 115:11).
“His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned, but overbearing, regulations were set in place. Reports of an 8-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate on the cheek; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
“Common sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. Common sense declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun-lotion or an aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
“Common sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments were commanded to be removed, churches became businesses, and criminals received better treatment than their victims, and politicians acted like criminals.
“Common sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
“Common sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
“Common sense was preceded in death, by
His parents, Truth and Trust
His wife, Discretion
His daughter, Responsibility
His son, Reason.
“He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers
I know my rights
I want my rights
I want it now
I’m a victim.
“Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.”
The Virus of Nonsense is Everywhere!
► OLD MAN MUST SHOW ID BEFORE BEING SERVED ALCOHOL ― Being “carded” ― or asked to show your ID that verifies your age ― when buying an alcoholic drink, is sometimes the norm when you are an especially youthful looking person. But one old man was “carded” when buying a beer in a restaurant in the Orlando airport. The waitress asked to see his ID. He leaned over closer to her face so that could see that he was about the age of her grandfather. Then he asked her if she was kidding. He then told her that he had a granddaughter that was probably of the legal drinking age. None of this mattered, of course. “Rules is rules!” she said. He handed over his driver’s license and watched to see the license a brief glance―thereby signaling that she realized the silliness of the situation, but she had to obey silly rules that lacked common sense. Instead, she looked at it very carefully, trying to compute his age from the birth date on the license. It was ‘normal’ for her lack of common sense!
► PLANE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE AND DEFUMIGATED BECAUSE A MOSQUITO WAS ON BOARD ― A flight was delayed by more than two hours with no explanation given―it seems to be the “new normal”. However, for this particular flight the reason finally came out. It seems that someone had reported one or more mosquitoes on the plane on an incoming flight―so the ground crew insisted on fumigating with the result that the flight crew refused to fly a recently fumigated plane. So everyone had to wait a couple of hours for them to find another plane. How ridiculous can you get? They couldn’t fly with a single mosquito airborne! Perhaps they should have called for the local SWAT team to come out and take care of business!
► CONVICTS FREED, BUT HAIRDESSER JAILED BECAUSE OF CORONAVIRUS ― Convicts in some states are being set free because the virus can spread quickly inside a prison. Okay — but a Texas hairdresser, Shelley Luther, with no criminal record whatsoever, is sent to jail for opening her salon when she was supposed to keep it closed. Does this make sense? Sending Shelley Luther to jail because she was trying to earn money to feed her family, is more than a little harsh, people with common sense might think. Shelley Luther was released when the Texas governor issued a revised Executive Order, essentially saying that “Throwing Texans in jail who have had their businesses shut down through no fault of their own is nonsensical, and I will not allow it to happen.” Was he guilty of exercising common sense during an epidemic of “nonsense”?
► 5-YEAR-OLD HANDCUFFED AND TAKEN AWAY BY POLICE FOR DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR ― Called to a Florida school that could not cope, police led the disorderly student away in handcuffs, all 40 pounds of her 5-year-old self. Schools in Broward County, Florida, banned running at recess. No official at the Florida school would put a restraining arm around the misbehaving child, for fear of being sued, as one young teacher was, for $20 million (the school settled for $90,000), because the teacher put a hand on the back of a turbulent seventh-grader to direct him to leave the classroom. Another teacher’s career was ruined by accusations arising from her having positioned a child's fingers on a flute. A 2004 survey reported that 78% of middle and high school teachers have been subjected to legal threats from students bristling with rights. Students, sensing the anxiety that seizes schools when law intrudes into incidental relations, challenge the authority of teachers.
► PLAYGROUND LAWSUITS ― Someone hurt while running at recess could sue the school district for inadequate supervision of the runner, as Broward County in Florida well knows! It settled 189 playground lawsuits in five years. In Indiana, a boy did what boys do―he went down a slide head first ― but also broke his femur (thigh bone). The school district was sued for inadequate supervision. Due to fears of such liabilities, playgrounds, all over America, have been stripped of the equipment that once made them fun for children. So now, instead of healthy physical outdoor activities, you now have millions of obese children sitting in front of televisions and computer terminals, who, instead of being casualties of the playground, are now casualties of what one attorney calls “a bubble wrap approach to child rearing” produced by the “cult of safety.”
► LUDICROUS LAWSUITS ― Lawsuits express the theory that anyone should be able to sue to assert that someone is culpable for even an idiotic action by the plaintiff. A predictable byproduct of this theory is brazen cynicism, encouraged by what one “common sense” attorney who sees modern-day trial lawyers as “congregating at the intersection of human tragedy and human greed.” Thus, we see in the case of a volunteer for a Catholic charity in Milwaukee, who ran a red light and seriously injured another person, but did not have “deep pockets”, so the injured person sued the archdiocese instead ― and successfully came out with $17 million.
How Dumb Can You Get? You Will Be Surprised!
If anything has masked the stupidity of people, then it is the mask, or the wearing of masks. We usually wear masks to mask or disguise ourselves and make it impossible for others to see who we really are. Well, in the case of the Planndemic masks, the mask fails to mask or hide from view the stupidity of the wearer. Mask wearing is mental insanity. In both theory and actual fact, masks cannot possibly work and achieve what the mask-enforcers claim. Their position is not based on science, but rather, irrational fear, and irrational expectations that masks work, when they cannot and do not work. Since their position is based on insanity and the fraud that masks work―the demands for mandatory masking cannot be said to follow the law and be “reasonable”. You could, in a loose sense, say that mask wearing causes temporary or permanent insanity and manifests in the mask-wearer an alarming absence of logic and common sense, together with frightening symptoms naivety, gullibility and irrationality.
You could almost compare the “Mask Mandate” with Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale of “The Emperor’s Invisible Suit of Clothes” ― wherein two fraudster tailors convince the gullible Emperor that they have the skill to make the most beautiful clothes with invisible thread. The invisible clothes will be invisible to those who are stupid, but “wise” persons will be able to see the invisible clothes in all their beauty. From time to time, as they busily work weaving their invisible thread, they keep showing the emperor and his courtiers the wonderful progress in the making of the invisible suit of clothes. Everyone―not wanting to look stupid―commented on how beautiful the clothes were beginning to look (even though, in reality, there were no clothes to be seen). Eventually, the emperor came for his fitting. He placed each arm and leg in the “sleeves” and “leggings” of the invisible clothes and stood naked in front of the mirror praising the finished (invisible) costume. Then he announced that he would parade his new suit of invisible clothes in a public procession. While he walked naked in the procession, all the citizens―not wishing to look stupid―shouted out their praises for the emperor’s new invisible suit of clothes―until, finally, one little boy blurted out: “The Emperor is naked!” That comment burst the bubble of mass insanity and the crowd began to laugh at the naked emperor. Can you not see the parallels with the Covid-mask?
For some people, being seen walking round without a mask was almost like walking around naked―everyone could SEE YOUR FACE!! Makes you wonder what Adam and Eve would have thought about wearing a mask? If they had worn a mask, would the virus of Original Sin ever have been created? The mandating of mask wearing has no basis in science. On the contrary, the available scientific evidence almost conclusively shows that mask wearing does not prevent the spread of infectious disease. The ineffectiveness of masks is shown by the recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which reports that 71% of COVID-19 patients reported “always” wearing a cloth mask or face covering in the 14 days preceding their illness; 14% reported having worn a mask “often.” This proves, in part, the ineffectiveness of mask wearing ― for 71% of COVID patients were always wearing the mask and they still contracted COVID.
In a 2016 study, surgical masks (currently the standard light blue masks handed out in some stores) did not show enough evidence to demonstrate the benefits of mask-wearing for health care workers in terms of preventing cold symptoms.
A study published in BMJ (British Medical Journal) aimed at comparing the effectiveness of cloth masks to that of medical masks, found that those who wore cloth masks had a significantly higher rate of flu-like illness and all measured infections as compared to participants using medical masks. They cited moisture retention, reuse and poor filtration as potential reasons for the increased rates of infection.
Very few people know this, nor do they care to know―for, as they say, “Ignorance is bliss!” (or should that say: “Stupidity is sweet!”). To find this out means doing some research as opposed to stupidly swallowing sound bites from mainstream media moguls―to whom a lie is truth when it is useful or profitable, and who will paint truth as lies for the same reasons.
MASK STUPIDITY #1 ― SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter between 0.06 and 0.14 microns. The very best Medical N95 masks — which are considered and touted as being the most effective — can only filter particles as small as 0.3 microns ― but SARS-CoV-2 is even smaller! Health agencies’ own research show it’s a futile measure that only provides a false sense of security. To put it in simple man on the street terms ― let’s pretend the micron is one inch (in reality a micron is one twenty-five thousandth of an inch). In this “pretend scenario” the SARS-CoV-2 virus would have a diameter anywhere from six-hundredths of an inch (6/100 or 1/16) to fourteen hundredths of an inch (14/100 or 1/7), whereas the diameter or space between the strands of the mask would thirty hundredths of an inch (30/100 or 3/10). So as you can see, the spaces in the mask are anywhere from 2 to 5 times bigger than the space the tiny virus needs to pass through. The virus sails through with no problem! And we are talking about the very best masks that are available (in limited numbers) to the general public. The other kinds of masks ― surgical masks, homemade masks, T-shirts and bandanas ― are even more porous.
The particle size of the Coronavirus is typically 1/1000th of the size of the spacing between threads of the mask itself. A Coronavirus is anywhere from 0.06 to 0.14 microns―giving an average of around 0.1 microns. Holes in cloth masks are up to 100 microns. If you “zoom in” this is like expecting two threads, spaced as far apart as three football fields, 900 feet, to filter out a shoe the size of one foot. That is insane! Furthermore, there are 1000 microns per millimeter. The air gaps around the mask, by the nose, if they are half a centimeter, are 5,000 microns. A Coronavirus is on average 0.1 microns. The difference is 50,000 times in size. This gap is so big, and the virus is so small, it’s like two lines, 10 miles apart, (52,800 feet) trying to filter out a basketball (just under a foot).
Mask wearing is mental insanity. In both theory and actual fact, masks cannot possibly work and achieve what the mask-enforcers claim. Their position is not based on science, but rather, irrational fear, and irrational expectations that masks work, when they cannot and do not work. Since their position is based on insanity and the fraud that masks work―the demands for mandatory masking cannot be said to follow the law and be “reasonable”. The demand by stores that customers wear masks, fraudulently assumes that masks work. They do not. Air easily slips around all masks, such as the very large air gaps around the nose, cheeks and chin.
MASK STUPIDITY #2 ― As they say: “You are what you eat!” You could also say: “You are what you breathe!” Some people cannot see beyond the end of their nose―or beyond the mask on the end of their nose! Give a baby a glass of ammonia and there is a good chance that he will taste it―give an idiot a mask and there is good chance he will wear it! Microbes from your mouth frequently enter your lungs. Researchers from New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine revealed these oral microbes are associated with cancer. Wearing a mask would accelerate the accumulation of oral microbes in your lungs. The National Institutes of Health conducted a study that confirmed when you wear a mask most of the water vapor that you would normally exhale, remains in the mask fibers, becomes condensed and is re-inhaled. Not to mention, the humidity inside the mask will allow pathogenic bacteria to rapidly grow and multiply and, since the mask makes it more difficult to breathe, you’re likely to breathe heavier, thereby risking inhaling the microbes even deeper inside your lungs.
It’s largely and falsely assumed that face masks are “safe” for children to wear for long periods―such as during school―but no risk assessment has ever been carried out. Germany’s recently conducted a study on mask-wearing with 25,930 children. The result showed 24 health issues that were associated with wearing masks that fell into the categories of physical, psychological and behavioral issues. They recorded symptoms that: “… included irritability (60%), headache (53%), difficulty concentrating (50%), less happiness (49%), reluctance to go to school/kindergarten (44%), malaise (42%), impaired learning (38%) and drowsiness or fatigue (37%).” They also found 30% reported feeling short of breath, 26% being dizzy and 18% were unwilling to move or play. Hundreds more experienced “accelerated respiration, tightness in chest, weakness and short-term impairment of consciousness.”
What people fail to realize is that when they wear a face mask, they are breathing in the plastic particles that it is made from―the longer you wear it, the more you breathe-in. With extended use, medical masks will begin to break down and release chemicals that are then inhaled. Tiny microfibers are also released, which can cause health problems when inhaled. Not only that, but those plastic particles are also passed onto the fetuses of pregnant women. Animal studies show that inhaled plastic particles pass through the placenta and into the heart and brains of fetuses. The fetuses exposed to the micro-plastics also gained less weight in the later part of the pregnancy. Dr. Phoebe Stapleton, the lead researcher of Rutgers University told The Guardian newspaper: “We found the plastic nano-particles everywhere we looked — in the maternal tissues, in the placenta and in the fetal tissues. We found them in the fetal heart, brain, lungs, liver and kidney.”
MASK STUPIDITY #3 ― Some people stupidly believe the saying: “What you don't know can't hurt you!” In that case, life should be a Paradise on Earth for the stupid! Maybe Our Lord should have added that one to His Eight Beatitudes: “Blessed are the stupid, who know nothing―for no harm shall come to them!” Dr. Jim Meehan, an ophthalmologist and preventive medicine specialist, who has performed more than 10,000 surgical procedures, and is also a former editor of the medical journal Ocular Immunology and Inflammation, also conducted an evidence-based scientific analysis on masks, which shows that not only should healthy people not be wearing masks, but they could be harmed as a result. Dr. Meehan suggests that the notion of mask-wearing defies common sense and reason, considering that most of the population is at very low or almost no risk of becoming severely ill from COVID-19. He also compiled 17 ways that masks can cause harm―here are most of them:
(1) Medical masks adversely affect respiratory physiology and function.
(2) Medical masks lower oxygen levels in the blood.
(3) Medical masks raise carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
(4) SARS-CoV-2 has a “furin cleavage” site that makes it more pathogenic, and the virus enters cells more easily when artery oxygen levels decline, which means wearing a mask could increase COVID-19 severity.
(5) Medical masks trap exhaled virus in the mouth/mask, increasing viral/infectious load and increasing disease severity.
(6) SARS-CoV-2 becomes more dangerous when blood oxygen levels decline.
(7) Cloth masks may increase the risk of contracting COVID-19 and other respiratory infections.
(8) Masks compromise communications and reduce social distancing.
(9) Untrained and inappropriate management of face masks is common.
(10) Masks worn imperfectly are dangerous.
(11) Masks collect and colonize viruses, bacteria and mold.
(12) Face masks and stay at home orders prevent the development of herd immunity.
(13) Face masks are dangerous and are not recommended for people with pre-existing medical conditions and disabilities.
MASK STUPIDITY #4 ― Increasing numbers of medical professionals and occupational respirator experts have warned that wearing of face masks may have adverse health effects and that people really should not be forced to wear them on a regular basis. Aside from that, there’s a glaring lack of evidence proving they actually prevent viral illness. On the contrary, the evidence overwhelmingly shows they have little to no impact on viral spread. Despite all of that, government officials insist that universal mask wearing is an essential strategy to combat COVID-19, now even recommending wearing two, three, or even four layers of face masks! According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, Americans may have to wear masks all the way through 2022! Stupid is as stupid does!
Just when you thought mainstream propaganda could not propose a greater irrational perversion of the truth, a new study from the National Institutes of Health claims wearing a moist mask — which, in reality, is a breeding ground for harmful bacteria — is actually ‘good’ for you, because inhaling through the wet mask hydrates your lungs and boosts your immune system. However, it’s important to realize that the humidity inside the mask will allow pathogenic bacteria to rapidly grow and multiply — a documented fact not addressed by the National Institutes of Health — and since the mask makes it more difficult to breathe, you’re likely to breathe heavier, thereby risking inhaling the microbes deep inside your lungs. The health risks and dangers far outweigh any benefit you might get from breathing more humid air!
MASK STUPIDITY #5 ― This is a two-sided stupidity―one being on the side of the authorities, the other being on the side of the mask-wearers. Once again, let it be said that the masks are ineffective in filtering-out airborne droplets that many times smaller than the gaps between the mask fibers. Nevertheless, let us insanely pretend that the masks are effective, but they are meant to be disposed of after one single use, or, if they are of the washable variety, they are meant to be washed to remove and/or kill the virus.
It is known that exposure to high temperatures can kill Coronaviruses. In fact, inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces speeds up as temperature and humidity increase. However, the exact temperature and time it takes to kill the virus can vary depending on various factors. These can include things like the amount of virus that’s present as well as the surface type. Basically, researchers estimated that most Coronaviruses would be almost completely killed after exposure to temperatures of 149 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius) or higher for longer than 3 minutes. The researchers also noted that:
For temperatures lower than 149 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius), a longer exposure time has to be used. For example, the Coronavirus may need to be exposed to temperatures of between 122 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit (50 and 55 degrees Celsius) for 20 minutes to be killed.
A study published in The Lancet Microbe looked at how temperature affected high amounts of SARS-CoV-2 in laboratory media. The researchers found that the virus was killed after 5 minutes at 158 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius).
One study in Applied Physics Letters used mathematical modeling to predict the effect of different temperatures on SARS-CoV-2. The model estimated that the virus would be killed after an average of 2.5 minutes at 158 degrees Fahrenheit 70°C (70 degrees Celsius).
A study in Emerging Infectious Diseases assessed different ways to decontaminate N95 respirators. The researchers found that temperatures of 70°C (158 degrees Fahrenheit) killed the new Coronavirus on N95 respirators after about 1 hour.
In summary, then, you need a minimal temperature of 149 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius) or higher to kill the virus with heat. So what kind of heat does the hot water from your hot-water tap or faucet produce? What kind of heat the hot water from your laundry washing machine produce? What kind of heat your laundry dryer produce? In laundry washing terms, hot water is considered to be 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Celsius) or above. Hot water coming from your tap/faucet is usually 110 or 120 degrees Fahrenheit. On average, most laundry dryers heat the air to 125 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit. So none of them come close to the minimal 149 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius) to kill the virus. The boiling temperature of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius).
The bottom line is this―even if the masks were effective in trapping all the virus droplets (which it cannot do), are people washing their washable masks after each use? No way! Not in a million years! Most wear the same mask day-in-day-out, for economic reasons or out of sheer laziness in having to change the mask, or wash the mask daily. Even they did wash them, they might remove some droplets but the customary water temperature for faucets/taps and washing machines is way below the temperature required to kill the virus. A case of stupid if you wash and stupid if you don’t―because masks are ineffective and also because the water temperature is ineffective in killing the virus.
MASK STUPIDITY #6 ― Wearing the mask when alone has to be one of the pinnacles of stupidity. You see these people―outdoors in the fresh air, miles away from anyone else with no immediate chance of contact―and they are happily wearing a mask. Then there are their stupid cousins, who are driving all alone in a car while wearing a mask! Are they afraid that they might catch the virus from their guardian angel? It would be interesting to know how many people wear a mask when they are alone at home? What about when eating? If you logically follow all the propaganda, wouldn’t it make sense to make a hole for a straw and have all your food liquidized, so that you can suck it through the hole? Why risk contamination and death for a mere bite of food! Why not boil everything you eat? Heck! Better safe than sorry!
MASK STUPIDITY #7 ― Let us stop at 7 stupidities. For just as there are the Seven Deadly Sins, let there be Seven Masked Stupidities. This seventh stupidity is the way people wear their masks. The World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Health (NIH) all tell us that the masks―in order for them to be effective―must be properly fitted and worn correctly while in place. Here is a summary from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention):
GENERAL TIPS FOR PROPER MASK USAGE
► WEAR YOUR MASK CORRECTLY
● Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before putting on your mask. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Put the mask over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Fit the mask snugly against the sides of your face, slipping the loops over your ears or tying the strings behind your head. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● If you have to continually adjust your mask, it doesn’t fit properly, and you might need to find a different mask type or brand. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Make sure you can breathe easily. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS? WELL THEY DO―THEY PULLTHE MASK BELOW THEIR NOSE!
► HOW TO STORE AND WASH MASKS CORRECTLY
● Always wash your hands before handling the mask: Use a hand sanitizer with 60% alcohol or soap and warm water to wash your hands before removing or adjusting your mask. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Whether reusable or disposable, do not touch the mask: Use strings, loops, or straps that keep your mask fastened to your ears/head to remove the mask. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Designate a clean space to keep your masks when not in use: It's important to think about storing your masks in a sanitized, breathable environment. This applies at home and on-the-go. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Dispose of surgical and N95 masks after one use: If a surgical mask is damp, that's generally an indication you should switch it out for a new one. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● For cloth masks, aim to wash it after every use: Wash your mask on high heat using soap and water. According to WHO, heat of 133°F can kill the Coronavirus (what they don’t tell you is that it only works if the virus is exposed to that temperature for a LONG TIME). If your mask has a filter, make sure to remove it before washing and replace it with a new one after. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● When disposing of your mask, cut off the strings: Early research indicates that disposable masks may pose an environmental issue. Additionally, some anecdotal reports have shown that animals like birds can get trapped in or choke on surgical masks. For this reason, cutting off the strings of the mask before disposing of them reduces the risk of animal harm. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Double-masking can provide extra protection: In order to provide an extra layer of protection with masks, you can use three layers of cloth to create a more secure barrier. This could look like a cloth mask and a surgical mask, or a cloth mask that has three layers sewn in. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
● Hang your mask in direct sunlight to dry completely. If you cannot hang it in direct sunlight, hang or lay it flat and let it dry completely. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
► DO’S AND DON’TS
DOS
● Wear a mask over your nose and mouth to help prevent getting and spreading COVID-19.
● Wear a mask in public settings when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when indoors and when it may be difficult for you to stay six feet apart from people who don’t live with you.
● Wear a mask correctly for maximum protection.
● Wear your mask under your scarf, ski mask, or balaclava in cold weather
● Keep a spare mask to replace one that becomes wet from moisture in your breath, snow, or rain.
● Store wet reusable masks in a plastic bag, until they can be washed.
DON’TS
● Put the mask around your neck or up on your forehead.
● Touch the mask, and, if you do, wash your hands or use hand sanitizer.
If all of these above things are so incredibly crucial and if they are supposed to save precious lives―then why do not the authorities take tough measures on those who do not comply? Why do they not hammer and hammer the above points ad nauseam until people are saying the rules out loud while they sleep. Why not interrogate people at random to see if they can regurgitate all of the above rules and recommendations? Why not have classes on those rules and recommendations and oblige “rule breakers” to attend them for a month or more? Why not have random “mask tests” in stores, supermarkets, malls, etc. where your mask is tested for cleanliness and all the other minimal requirements? All we hear is “Wear a mask!” but they don’t really give a damn if you have it fitted correctly, are wearing it properly, or if you have had it washed!
