Wearing a Mask

[justjess]

i dont see riots going on over this, jess. i do agree there will be rioting and civil war in the future, but not yet.

whether someone things the masks are useful or useless or corona is deadly or a fraud is secondary to the issue of mandatory vaccination. every person i talk to all agree that they do NOT want a mandatory vax. and thats good enough for me.

I agree that should be what we are focusing on here, and I haven’t spoken with anyone who thinks mandatory vaccines is a good idea or is going along with that.. however, I haven’t seen very many people trying to find commonality or even acknowledging it.

and this “our side” stuff does not help.

@Lurker how can anyone think YOUR the problem? I find that hard to believe. People are scared and shell shocked at this point. It would do everyone some good to try to have some empathy.

For people who think the masks are important people refusing to wear it seems selfish or stupid or both, and it’s scary to think you or someone you love might die from a pandemic because people just wouldn’t use a 2cent piece of cloth.

For people who think masks are a sign of loss of freedom or a step towards vaccines.. it’s scary too. They think people wearing masks are cowards or selifish or stupid. It’s scary to think your whole way of life is going to go down the tubes and one of the first shots fired is going to be a 2 cent piece of cloth.

there’s a compromise here which I think serves everyone’s needs but everyone is backed so far into their corners it doesn’t even get air time. Reopen, wear the damn mask, and fight like hell if they take a step towards infringing on rights and vaccinations. Everyone’s initial and most urgent needs/fears is dealt with and there’s an accord for Dealing with the long term ones.

lurker clearly explained the "our side" comment.

everyone *seems* to draw their line in the sand with mandatory vaccines. i draw my line with masks and social distancing, and im fighting against that right now.
in any case, i will expect your (and other 'maskers') backup when the vaccines are ready in the fall and there is a massive propaganda push for them.

 

[Lurker]

If I have to wear a mask to conduct my daily business, I must be the problem.

And that’s where I’m going to have to ask... why would ‘maskers’ give you backup when you refused them the same? You can’t expect unity when it suits you but refuse it when it inconveniences you.

for me (and maybe others), the agenda STARTS with the mask. if maskers dont get that, fine... but again, ill expect backup with the vax.

A jet engine can fall out of the sky too, but we don't walk around with a sense of needing to "duck for cover". Do we?

It's funny to me how you wrote there is "every" reason to believe people can spread Covid-19 presymptomatic. In reality, you have one reason to believe that. Just because it can happen, or it appears to happen shouldn't be the end-all for counter-arguments.

BTW I never said I wouldn't take precautions. This is about the masks and their highly debatable usefulness. Some studies have figured that if everyone wore masks we would reduce transmission by 16%. Now that's better than nothing, but masks definitely don't seem worth the trouble we are putting into them. It seems more logical that the mask agenda is just good old fashion greed at this point.

Overnight a billion-dollar mask industry was born. But I do agree that the U.S is just playing at these pandemic policies. I would just say they are playing monopoly. Basically I would argue our lives are in our own hands. Most of us just have little chance of ever actually owning much property.

Pretty much living life has it’s “what if’s”
We’re taken out of our comfort zone right now, to the point it’s creating paranoia.

If society could take a much needed breather under quarantine. They’d realize, maybe everything is not as bad as chalked up to be.

 

[Lurker]

for me (and maybe others), the agenda STARTS with the mask

I'm more concerned with where does it end.

 

[Maes17]

I'm more concerned with where does it end.

Me too. It’s creating tension amongst people.
Unneeded tension at that. Why? Idk. My best guess is that this pandemic has most people on edge.

Like Poly said. Balance minded people are just trying to carry on

 

[Maes17]

If you want to wear a mask cause you feel it’s courtesy. Then wear a mask.
If you don’t want to wear a mask. Then don’t wear a mask.

Looking to spark drama over something so....so weird. Idk. I give up on some people

Dehumanizing masks

have sadly become a part of the new normal in many states and nations around the world. Many local and state governments are forcing people to wear them, and many businesses are dutifully toeing the official line and refusing entry to customers who don't wear them. Apart from the obvious truth that widespread mask usage has a deliberately dehumanizing effect (in line with the transhumanist synthetic agenda), many scientific studies show that masks serve no useful medical purpose for healthy people. Masks weaken you by causing hypercapnia (increased carbon dioxide) and hypoxia (decreased oxygen). They are designed for surgeons (so they don't accidentally transmit bodily fluids like saliva into a patient they are operating upon) or for sick people (so they don't infect others via large respiratory droplets). Scientifically speaking, they don't stop healthy people from getting infected! Below is the evidence showing this. This will leave you with the inescapable conclusion that these masks are not about protecting health – but rather about control, dehumanization and the destruction of health.
Masks Lead to Under-Oxygenation, a Forerunner to Fatigue, Weakness and Serious Diseases Like Cancer

It is a commonsense scientific fact that wearing a mask blocks your airways and therefore leads to both hypercapnia (an increase in and accumulation of carbon dioxide in the body from breathing in exhaled air) and hypoxia (a lack of oxygen in the tissues). Symptoms of hypercapnia include dizziness, drowsiness, excessive fatigue, headaches, feeling disoriented, flushing of the skin and shortness of breath. Symptoms of hypoxia include anxiety, restlessness, confusion, changes in the color of skin, cough, rapid breathing, shortness of breath and sweating. Not surprisingly, both conditions are similar, since they are both characterized by a lack of oxygen. In addition, hypoxia has been shown to lead to impaired immunity in general, and to be a forerunner to serious diseases such as atherosclerosis, stroke and heart attack. It is also the necessary precondition for the development of cancer (as I covered in my series on natural cancer cures). Dr. Russell Blaylock highlights how wearing a mask is actually putting you at more risk of infection, because you are lowering your overall health, strength and immunity by under-oxygenation:

"It is known that the N95 mask, if worn for hours, can reduce blood oxygenation as much as 20%, which can lead to a loss of consciousness, as happened to the hapless fellow driving around alone in his car wearing an N95 mask, causing him to pass out, and to crash his car and sustain injuries ... A more recent study involving 159 healthcare workers aged 21 to 35 years of age found that 81% developed headaches from wearing a face mask. Some had pre-existing headaches that were precipitated by the masks. All felt like the headaches affected their work performance."

...

"The importance of these findings is that a drop in oxygen levels (hypoxia) is associated with an impairment in immunity. Studies have shown that hypoxia can inhibit the type of main immune cells used to fight viral infections called the CD4+ T-lymphocyte. This occurs because the hypoxia increases the level of a compound called hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which inhibits T-lymphocytes and stimulates a powerful immune inhibitor cell called the Tregs. This sets the stage for contracting any infection, including COVID-19 and making the consequences of that infection much graver. In essence, your mask may very well put you at an increased risk of infections and if so, having a much worse outcome."

Blaylock also emphasizes how wearing masks is dangerous from a health perspective – it encourages the recycling (rather than the expulsion) of viruses and bacteria, some of which can enter the brain with potentially lethal consequences:

"It gets even more frightening. Newer evidence suggests that in some cases the virus can enter the brain. In most instances it enters the brain by way of the olfactory nerves (smell nerves), which connect directly with the area of the brain dealing with recent memory and memory consolidation. By wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain."

Public Health Agency of Canada Admits "Little Evidence" Masks Protect Healthy People

This document from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) openly admits there is little evidence that, if you are well or healthy, wearing a mask will somehow protect you. This flies in the face of the propaganda going around that "my mask protects you, your mask protects me" since the only point (if you are not someone like a surgeon) is for already sick people to wear them to block the escape of large respiratory droplets. It is standard medical practice that masks are worn by the infected not the uninfected (as in the case when someone has TB), just as it is standard medical practice that quarantine is for the sick or immuno-compromised not the whole infected community. The definition of quarantine is "a state, period, or place of isolation in which people or animals that have arrived from elsewhere or been exposed to infectious or contagious disease are placed" so, ipso facto, the lockdown of an entire society is not quarantine but outright tyranny. Remember, Operation Coronavirus is not about medical common sense or logic; it's about control. The PHAC document states:

"Little evidence exists as to how effectively the wearing of a mask by well individuals will prevent them from becoming infected ... For masks to be effective, individuals must wear them consistently and correctly; these actions can be challenging. Masks must be worn only once, never shared and always changed when soiled or wet. If not used properly, masks may lead to a greater risk of pandemic influenza transmission because of contamination, or they may make the user overconfident and hence neglectful of other personal protective measures, such as hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette and self-isolation when ill – measures that have been deemed important complementary actions to the use of masks for the reduction of disease transmission. Finally, given that masks cannot be used when eating and drinking and may make communication difficult, wearing them for prolonged periods may be impractical and ineffective."

Harboring Bacteria and Viruses

The masks many people are wearing – homemade from cloth, bandannas, etc. – are a joke if you think they will stop a virus which is measured in nanometers (nanometer = 10-9 meters, or 0.000000001 meters). They won't stop a virus but they will assuredly become a hotbed for microbes to develop due to the warm and humid conditions. This article quotes some Indian doctors:

"He pointed out that masks are a potential source of bacteria and viruses. “The moisture from exhalation inside the mask, when in constant contact with the 37 degrees Celsius warm human body, becomes ideal place for virus and bacteria to thrive,” he said. "This could result in the growth of microbes on masks and aid the spread of airborne diseases like influenza."

“The N95 or N99 mask varieties have been traditionally used in hospitals to prevent tuberculosis and other infections during flu season,” said Dr KK Aggarwal, president of the Indian Medical Association. “They can block particulate matter only if you completely prevent air-leaks, and that is not possible.” ... Aggarwal said such comfort from wearing a mask “is only psychological” and warned against using masks without doctor’s recommendations."

Only psychological indeed. That's what Operation Coronavirus is: a psychological game of perception management.
Masks Make People "Feel" Safer

We are in the middle of a perception war. In perception, often it is emotion not reason which plays a driving role. At the level of the psychopath setting the agenda, the NWO (New World Order) manipulators cleverly exploit this by demanding governments enforce stupid and ineffectual rules like mandatory mask-wearing. At the level of the idiot carrying out the agenda, local and state governmental officials proclaim everyone must wear a mask, so these low-level officials CYA (cover their asses), pacify the population and make it look they are being decisive by taking action. But it's all a sham, because the masks offer nonprotection as this study The surgical mask is a bad fit for risk reduction states:

I propose that the surgical mask is a symbol that protects from the perception of risk by offering nonprotection to the public while causing behaviours that project risk into the future ... In an annex to the Canadian pandemic influenza preparedness plan covering public health measures, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) does not recommend the use of masks by well individuals in pandemic situations, acknowledging that the mask has not been shown to be effective in such circumstances ... The same annex on public health measures refers to the “false sense of security” that a mask can psychologically provide, but the converse is the real risk posed to a government unable to mollify its population."

Final Thoughts

Mandatory mask-wearing orders are just another way in which NWO conspirators are testing how far they can push people and seeing how much they can get away with. Just like the unscientific social distancing rules (1 meter, 1.5 meters, 2 meters, 6 feet or something else depending upon where you live), masks are symbolic of this entire fake pandemic operation. It's not about reason or logic; it's about fear and conditioning. They are training you to obey, training you to question whether you are following all the rules for every minute of your existence, training people to snitch on each other, training people to accept isolation and training people to fear each other (just as with the manmade climate change hoax).

Now we can't even see people's face when we interact with them! People of the Earth – WAKE UP!

This is mass conditioning. The degree to which healthy people willingly endorse and obey mask-wearing orders is directly proportional to their level of ignorance and fear. No interventions such as masks or vaccines can come close to the importance of living healthfully and developing your inner terrain (and hence your immune system) so that you are less susceptible to disease. It's time to 'unmask' the truth and use this crisis to educate ourselves and others about the true nature of viruses, the immune system, health and disease.

[Tikawanda]

I’ve lost a lot of respect for this site and whomever is writing the articles. Half of the articles now are in quotes. Focus on the entertainment industry and conspiracy theories. Leave the science discussion for those that actually study sciences. They know what they’re talking about. Not politicians or bloggers. Wear your fucking masks so those that are immunocompromised aren’t at risk. It’s a damn mask, how much easier can it get to not spread viruses? I hate this site sometimes, not everything is a damn conspiracy!

I mean, feel free to wear a mask if you want. I just don't understand why the article being "in quotes" is an issue? Most of VC's articles are like that and have been for a long time iirc.

 

[justjess]

for me (and maybe others), the agenda STARTS with the mask. if maskers dont get that, fine... but again, ill expect backup with the vax.

Yeah that’s what entitled takers do, expect and take but refuse to give.

ill object to the vaccination and fight for my own family but if you “anti maskers” think there’s unity somewhere down the line in this fight you are going to be sadly mistaken. good luck with that. You’ve ensured it will never happen yourself.

 

[polymoog]

I don’t believe in left unity with tankies, so I sure as hell don’t believe in any kind of alliance with right, especially armed militia types who are leading the anti-mask/lockdown charge.

so, for you:
armed militia types trying to uphold our constitutional rights that are about to be taken away: bad
armed antifa types rioting about racists: good

 

[polymoog]

Yeah that’s what entitled takers do, expect and take but refuse to give.

ill object to the vaccination and fight for my own family but if you “anti maskers” think there’s unity somewhere down the line in this fight you are going to be sadly mistaken. good luck with that. You’ve ensured it will never happen yourself.

maybe its late, jess, and im not comprehending, but what are anti-maskers taking?
how have i ensured it?

I have to wear a mask for you to care that I may be force vaccinated?

 

[justjess]

I have to wear a mask for you to care that I may be force vaccinated?

I’m not talking to you, no offense. I’m talking to poly - who seems to expect antivaxxers to fight for his cause and is unwilling to compromise on anything in order to gain that support. I don’t do one way relationships.

“maskers” (these are literally the stupidest adjectives I’ve ever heard) are asking people to don a practically free piece of fabric so that we can reopen society and hopefully avoid as many unnecessary Illnesses and deaths as possible. It costs nothing and if it doesn’t work no harm, no foul. You aren’t losing anything of substance by doing so. If it does work then maybe, just maybe we can avoid a situation where civil war over forced vaccinations becomes a reality.

“anti maskers” are saying nope, sorry Won’t do that, but we expect you to be on the front lines fighting that anti vaccinatior war your trying to avoid anyway. Expecting maskers to give up their ability to work and provide for their families, their safety, possibly their lives and giving nothing in return, no attempt to control the situation before it gets there and a whole bunch of scorn, nastiness, Disrespect and agitating during the whole period leading up to it.

why the hell would anyone sign on to that deal? How does that even make sense?

 

[~JC~]

Personally, I freaking hate wearing a mask. It’s hard to breathe, fogs up my glasses, and I’m forced to breathe my own c02 and generally uncomfortable in my own skin.

I believe the choice to wear one should be ours and not forced upon us. I’m healthy and if I got sick, I’ll GET OVER IT and build antibodies to fight it off, like nature intended our bodies TO DO. We’ve turned into the boy and the bubble and we’re happy about this?

We walk around being courteous and doing our “civic duty” with the intention of not infecting people, but make no mistake, this is a form of martial law that has been imposed on us through fear and misinformation, and we’re all falling in line.

But never mind the masks, there are countless videos of doctors speaking out about mishandling of patients and deaths caused by mistreatment. It’s all out there. Ask yourself why that’s not being reported on local news and why we have to find out on a YouTube video posted by doctors on their cell phone or PC?

Masks are a small piece of a big puzzle.

 

[~JC~]

Pinch the nose of the mask to prevent glasses fog up. Try and breath down. Fixed it right up for me.

That’s funny because I’ve been doing the opposite, creating a small gap at the top of the mask and breathing UP (for air) LOL

 

[Hon33]

latin america copies the US. i have no idea about africa or SE asia.



agreed. the lockdown was totally unwarranted and wrong.


my scientific evidence... or yours?

Lockdown in America? What lockdown? A lot of US states only think they had lockdown!

Given that I haven’t conducted any research myself, I don’t actually have any scientific evidence if my own. What I tend to do, is look at the evidence is out there - all of it - and use my knowledge and experience to consider it and try to understand what it means. I try to consider a broad base of evidence.
Take for example Trump’s assertion about Chloroquine. I read what Trump said. I considered the fact that the FDA, somewhat prematurely it would seem, authorised it’s use (probably because Trump made a big booboo and forced their hand). I read medical research papers in journals like the Lancet and I recalled my own knowledge of drugs like Chloroquine, that I learnt as a nurse. In particular, I recalled one patient who had tried to commit suicide with an overdose of that drug, some years ago. She had serious cardiac complications. I looked at what other countries around the world were saying about the use of Chloroquine and how their drug regulating agencies had acted. I decided Trump was crazy and the FDA were premature in their approving the drug for use. Then what happened? The FDA rescinded their original advice and issued new advice - Trump meanwhile insisted it was safe to use.
So in answer to your question, do I follow your scientific advice or mine? I haven’t got my own scientific advice. I’m guessing you don’t either. I follow THE scientific advice. I look at it all and I make the best choice I can, on that basis. I don’t have an agenda. I’m not pro- or anti-anything. I’m just pro what’s best for most people. Perhaps that’s very boring and run-of-the-mill of me. So be it. There are times when we are required to be boring and run-of-the-mill.
The irony is, that is the majority of people socially isolate or choose to wear masks etc, you are still going to benefit, even though you see it as your right to not comply. It’s easier to take the moral high ground when you don’t actually see the full consequences of your actions because other people are choosing to protect you, even though you show little regard for the well-being if anyone else.
In the small part of the U.K. that I live in, we have a relatively low death toll and for the first time in weeks we have had no Covid-related deaths. We are not following the same procedures as the U.K.. We went in to lockdown slightly earlier and we have eased restrictions differently. Time will tell how that works. Why have we been more successful? Most people took lockdown very seriously here, despite traditionally being a very divided society. Incidentally, we are not required to wear masks.
My daughters have been out of school and Uni since March. My daughter hasn’t worked her part-time job since then. My husband’s work has been deemed essential but he has been working from home. He has been told they won’t be back in the office before January, even if restrictions are lifted. My youngest daughter was due to sit her Alevel examinations which determine which Uni she will attend next year but they were cancelled. This, in the U.K., is the culmination of a two year course of very hard work. She will receive predicted grades and not actual grades - which for a straight A* student, is frustrating, particularly she was unwell at the time of mocks and didn’t get the grades she normally would. I have a chronic health issue but all routine hospital appointments have been cancelled. My elderly mum fell and broke her hip last week and has been in hospital this last week - hasn’t seen anyone in 10 days because we are not allowed to visit. We have had to sort out things like a new bed for downstairs, which has been exceptionally difficult because everywhere is closed.
Why am I telling you all of this? Well, I don’t really know. All of this is inconvenient and not ideal and unpleasant and frustrating. However, for the first time in maybe 80 or so years, we are all affected by it - the whole world! No matter how bad we think we are affected as individuals, there are people who have it worse. No one is lying to me about that. I live in a very small community and although our death toll has been relatively low, I know several families who have lost loved ones. I know others who have family who have had or still have Covid-19.
There are times to be concerned about your civil liberties and there are times to suck it up and do your bit to help others. Most of us are just trying to get through life the best way we know how.
If we all thought like a lot of people on this site do, there would be fewer of us here talking about this. It’s a lot easier to be complacent, my friend, when other people have your back.
People here talk about being enlightened at “awakened”. That’s not what I see. I see (some) people with a huge sense on entitlement. I see (some) people who clearly have issues with a lack of control in their own lives who inadvertently want to control the lives of others through spreading fear and speculation. I see (some) people for whom a little knowledge has become a dangerous thing, allowing them to make careless assertions which don’t stand up to scrutiny. I see (some) people who call on others to think independently while showing a blatant disregard for everyone else’s right to actually do so - you know like, you can only think independently as long as you reach the same conclusion as me, because if you don’t think like me it’s a breach of MY civil liberty?
Every one on this thread has the same basic right to freedom of thought, as every one else has. You believe your science if you like and I’ll continue to look at all the science available to me and draw my own conclusions.
There are few absolutes in this world, most of the time we just have to make reasoned choices. Know however, that the overwhelming scientific evidence at this time suggests that if we hadn’t and don’t continue to socially isolate countries like the US wouldn’t have in the region of 100000 deaths as a result of this - they would have a lot, lot more. Don’t forget to thank those who have protected you, while you pretend to take the moral high ground.

 

[Hon33]

It's funny to me how you wrote there is "every" reason to believe people can spread Covid-19 presymptomatic. In reality, you have one reason to believe that. Just because it can happen, or it appears to happen shouldn't be the end-all for counter-arguments.

Overnight a billion-dollar mask industry was born. But I do agree that the U.S is just playing at these pandemic policies. I would just say they are playing monopoly. Basically I would argue our lives are in our own hands. Most of us just have little chance of ever actually owning much property.

I said “every” reason, because I was avoiding stating a fact that I don’t know is certain yet. The evidence is that in many viruses, there is shedding in the pre-symptomatic phase. As a medical professional, it would seem reasonable to me, to treat Covid-19 in the same way until they know definitively one way or the other. The evidence is highly suggestive that there is asymptomatic and presymptomatic spread. That’s good enough for me.
Do you or have you ever ridden a motorcycle? The evidence would suggest that if you do and don’t wear a helmet, you may die as a result of a head injury if you have an accident. The evidence only suggests that. Some people will definitely die and some people will not. So, what are you going to do? Are you going to say the evidence isn’t conclusive here, so I’ll just not bother wearing one until such times that I know that it’s a certainty that I will die. That would be foolish.
Its called prophylaxis? Prevention? Where we don’t know for certain, it is safer to make a series of assumptions that will offer maximum protection, until we know otherwise. I mean, really, this isn’t rocket science.
I spent 10 days last year on a ventilator, as a result of a subarachnoid haemorrhage. I developed aspirational pneumonia which was exacerbated by hospital acquired infection. On the two occasions they tried to extubate me, I suffered respiratory failure (arrest) - once after a few hours and once after 48 hours. I can tell you that it was not a pleasant experience. My lung has never reinflated properly and my vocal cords, are permanently damaged. I’m sure others here have had similar experiences. I don’t consider myself to be at greater risk of Covid-19. Everyone as far as I can see it as at equal risk. I don’t want anyone - or their families - to have to go through an experience like that.
Our lives our never entirely in our own hands. If you were to develop Covid-19, would you refuse treatment? Would you turn down medical intervention if you needed it? Refuse to be ventilated?
