For those of you who still obey bogus face mask orders coming from narcissistic autocrats, here are some things they’ve been suppressing and may be blocked from your conscious mind.

In the beginning we were told not to wear masks. A study back then said that 74% of those in a test group who wore masks tested positive for the coronavirus, another study said those who wore masks and those who didn’t contracted the coronavirus equally, and a later study told us about the futility of masks and the harm done by forcing them on children.

If you follow science, then know it’s unlikely your mask will stop the coronavirus due to the minute size of the virus, many of the vanity masks out there aren’t medically sanctioned, and many of the N95 face masks coming from China are counterfeit and faulty. However, not to be disheartened. The facts show that the chance of a coronavirus infection in an open air setting, with or without a mask on, is slim to none. By the way, sunshine provides vitamin D that is believed to be a deterrent to the infection.

The following are realistic views agreed to by many. If you’re sick, elderly, obese, or have any other condition that may weaken your immune system, it’s helpful to wear an effective mask when around others. However, if you’re a healthy person, particularly one with a strong immune system, a fully vaccinated person, or a person who caught the bug and got over it, you don’t need to wear a mask, outside or inside.

If your worried about what misguided people may think of you for not wearing a mask, then you may want to concern yourself more with what well-informed people will think about you for strapping a security blanket to your face.
