Mask Up Again! So the Dunces Say

American Hospitals Bring Back Covid-Era Mask Mandates for Patients and Visitors – via slaynews.com
Pearl clutching fraidy-cats, dreaming that they’ve been right all along, are shouting an Amen. Science and low intelligence has won the day once again!
Across the country, Covid-era mask mandates have begun to return to public places, causing outrage among freedom-loving citizens.
An entire hospital system has just issued a new mask mandate for all patients and visitors across multiple locations.
A public subway is also pressuring passengers to wear face coverings.
One hospital system in Monterey, California, which treats nearly 400,000 patients a year, reinstated its face mask mandate for visitors and patients this week.
Meanwhile, several counties in San Francisco’s Bay Area have also brought back mask rules in healthcare facilities.
The hospitals argue that the mask mandates are returning to tackle flu season.
Earlier this week, New York City’s health department also brought back recommendations for people to mask up while using public transport as the nation heads into winter.
However, the new recommendations in Monterey and NYC prompted furious reactions from many residents.
Many demanded health officials “move on” from the tyranny of the Covid era.
On an Instagram post shared by the NYC health department that said “Mask up, NYC!,” one New Yorker declared “tired of this.”
Another commenter added “This is a joke right? Masks don’t work.”
Of course they don’t work, just like the stabbies. That’s not the point.
The mandates come as the US heads into the annual flu season.
It tends to start in October and peak through December and February.
Officials in California said the mandate was especially important because of the falling uptake of the Covid and flu vaccines.
There’s the point. If you aren’t boosted up the arse with their experimental chemical goo, then punishment needs to be administered. And thank God they’re bringing back the face coverings of shame, pain and humiliation as part of that punishment. What better way to display one’s devotion to true cement heads and idiots.
However, official surveillance shows there is yet to be a surge in the flu, Covid, or other respiratory viruses this year.
The test positivity rate for flu peaked at eight percent on August 10, data shows, but in the latest week had fallen to 6.6 percent.
Revealing the mask mandate for the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, its infection specialist Dr. Martha Blum said:
“Now is the time to really make these preparations and be reminded of what we can do to prevent things from really taking off at a sharp increase.
“As we like to say, Noah built the ark before the flood.”
Amen sister! Just think back four short years ago with nearly everybody wearing face diapers, and with 80% of the population getting the toxic jab – the cornholio was wiped off the face of the earth, right? It worked back then, it’ll work now. And remember how damn good-looking people were with their spittle-saturated diaper covering their inhaling and exhaling mechanisms. The really posh ones wore face diapers with their favorite sports team or rock band proudly displayed over their mouth and noses – choice soy brain activity.
However, studies have failed to show they reduced infections or deaths.
A major peer-reviewed by the Cochrane Institute found they make “little to no difference” to someone’s risk of catching Covid.
At the same time, some research suggests Covid measures like masking and social distancing may put people — especially children — more at risk of severe infections.
Studies show that masking robs children of exposure to diseases early in life, which means their immune systems may not develop correctly.
Some have reacted positively to the news, however.
One online commenter said:: “Immunocompromised here.
“It means a lot to us when people wear a mask.”
A second said, “Thank you for this messaging!”
“Wish this was normal,” a third added.
“Let’s take care of our health and each other please.”
Genius!
Personally, I don’t know what the big deal is. I mean nothing bad came about because folks bought into one of the greatest of government scams by telling people they needed to cover their breathing mechanisms in order to keep them and the rest of the world healthy and happy, right?
The Curse of Masks in Health and Social Care: Testimony From the Scottish Covid Inquiry – via dailysceptic.org
excerpt:
Masks often resulted in visiting times degenerating into an especially frustrating experience, as indicated in the closing statement of ‘Independent Care Homes Scotland’ (a group comprising 12 independent care home operators). Regarding window/garden visits, they recalled:
…residents not being able to hear relatives properly during these types of visit due to physical barriers (window/masks) and/or distancing regulations… many residents did not understand why masks, for instance, were having to be worn or who suffered from poor hearing and/or who relied on lip reading to communicate. This often led to distress for residents …
Indoor visits at Homes were later permitted but again these were burdened with social distance and PPE wearing regulation which greatly affected residents, relatives and staff and which gave rise to awkward, unnatural and at times distressing encounters for all concerned.
Another service provider, ‘Central Scotland Care Homes’, also highlighted the insidious effect of masks on social interactions between residents and their loved ones:
Garden visits were described as being “horrendous” with no privacy. They were impractical in the Scottish climate and visitors had to shout to be heard while wearing masks and sitting two meters apart.
It was not only elderly residents with dementia who suffered from the mask mania operating within our health and social care sector. Younger people struggling with profound/multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) were also victims of this ideologically driven obsession:
The use of face masks caused concern because many people with PMLD could not tolerate face masks. Facial expression is a key method for communication. A mask makes it very difficult for a person with PLMD to see a supporter’s or carer’s facial expressions. Furthermore, masks could significantly compromise health where the user has respiratory issues.
And the harms of long-term mask wearing were not confined to those receiving care: the professional caregivers also experienced negative consequences. Suzanne Napier, a social care worker with Turning Point and a union representative, told the Inquiry about the physical symptoms she and her daughter endured as a direct result of prolonged mask wearing:
I never in my life had sinusitis before and I had it really… really badly and still at times suffer for it… I feel that had a real detrimental effect to myself and others… Even people within my family are suffering from it, regular sinusitis now… My daughter is a nurse… her face would be red raw… literally from wearing a mask.
These honest testimonies from people directly involved in looking after highly vulnerable service users vividly convey the profound harms of mask requirements in health and social care. Similarly damning are the experiences of clinical experts – captured in Smile Free’s upcoming short film, Masking Humanity – that vividly convey the enormous harms of masks in these settings. Those in positions of power and influence – such as Lady Hallett – should take heed of these personal accounts from those at the sharp end and do their bit to ensure that the blanket imposition of de-humanising face coverings never happens again.
