A smile can bring a momentary sunshine in someone’s cloudy day. But, if you are wearing a mask, can you see the smile? Can you see the humanity behind the scared and sideways-darting eyes?
Perhaps the
eyes express the irrational fear of death, the fear of physical contact. The
human marionettes avoid physical contact, going out of their way to avoid other
people, to the point of painful walking into thorny bushes and cactuses to prevent
any possible proximity to other “infectious” and life-ending humans.
What
happened to our civilization? Why are formerly normal people yelling “stay away
from me,” “don’t come near me,” “where is your mask, you are violating my civil
rights,” “you are endangering my health,” etc. If you are wearing a mask and
your mask works, why do you care if someone else is not? Where are their civil
rights to breathe oxygen and not get headaches or pass out?
What
happened to saying hello and smiling to a perfect stranger or to a customer?
What happened to being polite and opening a door for someone instead of running
away as if they have a body-snatching virus which is going to melt you away
from existence if you just come too close to another human being?
Executive
orders, “four months of state and local government malfeasance,” have turned
the entire population into a mob of panicked and frightened Nazi maskers, aided
and abetted by out of control businesses who refuse to serve customers who
cannot wear a mask for medical reasons.
Recently, a federal
building’s security booth in D.C. was checking I.D.s for those entering a secure
facility yet nobody removed their masks. I suppose they were checking for
expiration dates on those I.D.s because nobody could tell who the persons were
behind the large masks covering faces and important features. What an
opportunity for terrorists to force their way into a government building and
cause destruction!
Masked
people are curt and rude to everyone they encounter. Doctors and nurses treat
their patients with total lack of interest and respect as if patients are an
inconvenience they must tolerate.
Pharmacists
yell at customers if they dare to cross over an inch over the clearly marked
and numerous yellow lines and demarcations of six feet. Busybodies remind total strangers to cover
their noses lest the mask wearing is worthless.
Who decided
that six feet was the magical number of separations to avoid the flu? Why not 3
or 9 feet? And is “social distancing” a medical term and yard stick to measure
the health or illness of a person? Were you “social distancing” when you had
the asthma attack?
People look
miserable, fashionably stupid, or politically insulting with their masks on
everywhere, sweating and having a hard time breathing properly.
Stores
refuse service to people who have asthma and other respiratory issues and
cannot get enough oxygen with a mask.
Employees with a mandate to exert their draconian power lord over
customers with an iron fist made of cheap cloth that lets all viruses fly
through – “no shopping for you, leave our store immediately, “ you typhoid Mary
you.
Surgical
masks are made to be used in a sterile environment, not on the street, store,
or at the mall. They must be replaced after 20 minutes of use and should not be
reused. They allegedly trap bacteria and some allergens.
Dr. Fauci told
us masks were useless against viruses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRa6t_e7dgI
but another time that they were helpful in preventing viral spread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh1BeCpioSw&feature=youtu.be
The World
Health Organization (W.H.O.) could not make up their minds either. They
recommended that masks should be worn only if we are ill and caring for a sick
family member. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/30/world/coronavirus-who-masks-recommendation-trnd/index.htmlor
Another time W.H.O. recommended that the public should wear a mask. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200608/who-changes-stance-says-public-should-wear-masks
With so much mass confusion and for my own breathing benefit I decided to get fresh air and sunshine on my face without a mask.

Thousands of
medical doctors have advised not to wear the masks as they are not effective
and can be harmful to the wearer, but the advice fell on deaf ears. Apparently
non-stop “medical” advice from the media on the alphabet soup channels is more
valuable than gold – they graduated from the “medical school” of journalism.
People who
use beta blockers (receptors Beta-1 and Beta-2 are present in heart, eye,
kidneys, lungs, GI tract, uterus, blood vessels, and skeletal muscles) know
that such drugs block the beta cells in the heart but are not so discriminating
that they ONLY block the beta cells in the heart, they also block beta cells in
the lungs, often causing the patient to have decreased lung capacity. With a diminished
lung capacity, such patients cannot breathe in adequate levels of oxygen
resulting in headaches, dizziness, fainting, and other problems. In the case of these patients, wearing a mask further
exacerbates the problem. Some passed out while driving, walking, working, or
shopping. http://www.learnscience.info/pharmacology-of-beta-blockers/
Daniel Bobinski
explains the “mask fiasco” and the contradictory advice thus: “Neither CDC nor
the W.H.O. suggest any Covid outpatient treatments. In other words, these
agencies have zero suggested treatments for Covid UNTIL an infected person
lands in the hospital.” Doctors who
follow the CDC guidelines tell their patients to self-isolate for 14 days if
sick. https://uncoverdc.com/2020/07/15/a-scientific-look-at-the-mask-fallacy-and-why-were-told-to-wear-them/
New England
Journal of Medicine said, “We know that wearing a mask outside health care
facilities offers little, if any protection from infection.” https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372
One study in
Clinical Infectious Diseases of December 2017 said, “Our analysis
confirms the effectiveness of medical masks and respirators against SARS.
Disposable, cotton, or paper masks are not recommended.” https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/65/11/1934/4068747
Why the
mandate by governors and mayors to wear masks months after the first infection
with Covid in the U.S.? If the virus has spread so rapidly as the experts
claimed, has much of the population not been already exposed to it?
It all has
to do with mass psychology and hysteria driven by the non-stop main stream media
PSAs – make people believe that non-wearers are evil and spreading the disease
hence the attacks in public; obey the all-knowing government and you will
magically be protected; and wait for the expensive vaccine as the ONLY cure.
This vaccine may or may not work and may have potentially dangerous side-effects.
The fact that we already have a reported relatively cheap cure with hydroxychloroquine,
azithromycin, and zinc, is irrelevant.
In this
false sense of security atmosphere driven to new hysterical heights by the
media, let us wear the masks indefinitely until daddy government tells us to stop.
In the meantime, the economy suffers across the board and more and more
businesses are declaring bankruptcy. People are afraid to go back to work or
are unwilling to work as the unemployment and the stimulus checks give them
more income than they could make working.
Dear Ileana, it was – as usual – very informative to read your article about the American situation, but I am happy to say that here in Tasmania I can neither confirm nor refute your words, as far as I see those ugly masks only thanks to TV from other Australian states, - especially from Victoria, which can be rightly called some Down Under Oregon. The Victorian bureaucracy is also using the Wuhan virus to ensure Victorians’ holy fear before the Big Brother’s limitless dictatorship. Anyway, if the Victorian voters do trust that kind of authorities, let them enjoy masks and sit without work as long as they wish.
ReplyDeleteThe Tasmanians do also trust their most professional medics along with their most accountable governors, mayors and aldermen, yet we have no problems with any insane decisions, insane statistics and insane economics. The difference isn’t a mirror of some sudden Tasmanian paradise at all, but again, of the said strict accountability, of the professional justice system and, the last but not the least, of our voters’ unblinking attention. Any local criminals – be they in a clinic, in a municipality or in some University are sentenced very rapidly and very publicly, just as Tasmanian voters wish. But then I may well imagine how close to their poor tortured hearts any easy-going Victorian would take your “Smile and Breath” advice these days! I’d like to enrich it with one more verb: “Vote right – and then smile and breath”.
Yours, with respect and gratitude – Rostislav.
A Voice of Reason in a land that is ruled by the disingenuous. Thanks Ileana.
