I’ve just got back from a trip up to Manchester with my daughters. We went to see my mum for a few days. Mum entertained us all. She offered us some plums. I thought I’d bought plum tomatoes, she said, but when I got home I found out they were just plums
Didn't need no Science(tm) to know masks of the kinds shown and recommended doesn't work that way.
Knew that for two simple reasons (apart from having a three-digit IQ and being able to think in more steps than one at a time):
The producers of said masks explicitly stats that these types of masks do not work against virus-sized particles. They must state that since they'd be liable otherwise. Masks that do protect you from a virus look very different to tiny dentist/surgical masks which are only intended to stop the odd droplet of saliva, and to make you the patient feel better. For one thing, you need constant overpressure inside your sealed biohazard suit. Didn't see no governement recommendations for that, did we?
I've worked (age 15) in a factory where my job was to air-blast away metal dust from freshly milled and lathed parts of water taps as they came out of the machine. The metal dust was virus-sized or smaller, so we wore insulated full-body coveralls to protect against burns (the parts were hotter than 200C when leaving the machine), asbestos-gloves, and masks enveloping our heads.
Said mask was of sturdy coarse signal-orange rubber. The part that connected to your skin was ribbed and every day after swapping the filters in the breathing nozzles (several separate filters, changed 2 or 3 times per day, minimum) you had to fill the ribbed part with vaseline to make it tight.
Me and the other guys working that station were instantly recognisable due to our constant ring of zits around our faces. Oh, and the mask was then tightened by your buddy, since you couldn't reach or work the straps that were on the back of your head and neck.
About +35C to +40C at the work station, high paced work since we got a bonus per part cleaned (when you had it down to muscle memory routine you could earn half a days extra pay, every day), you couldn't breathe normal but had to find a rythm to it instead; breathing normal fogged and clogged the mask.
My youth as a "privileged whiteman" essentially: one dirty dangerous heavy job after another.
Watched a mother and daughter of 6 wearing their masks to the grocery store, all the way to the deli area where I was seated. They took the masks off to eat, of course. It's just so mind bendingly stupid, teaching the child to be a fearful and misguided mess. It's a very strange religion. I wanted to ask the mother if she thinks her daughters daughter will also be wearing a mask, but since they probably both were jabbed up.....I figure the daughter will not be having any kids, so I simply got up, maskless, and walked away.
a million years a go i was a trainee mechanic, one of my weekly jobs was to sand out the bumps and respray my bosses stock car racer. i wore a bloody high spec mask but it didnt matter i still ended up blowing my nose to find the tissue whatever colour i was spraying that day. i didnt need a study to see the obvious :)
I am just waiting for some masky freak, maybe on vacation from here in Portland OR, to walk into a party store in New York and get shot for wearing a mask, that would be.....cosmic justice I suppose.
I relate to your mum. In a world where I walk into the local shop and there is a very tall balding male person in makeup, a dress, and a name tag that says “Kylie,” who knows what the heck a pizza might be?
No matter what might be in the air— and I’ve been to cities where I was hocking up black mucus in the evenings— I still think most of us acknowledge that the most reliable way to get sick is to touch a germ-laden object directly to our noses or mouths. It’s why the “invention” of hand washing transformed medicine and civilization. And yet the most Covid paranoid people I am adjacent to still participate in the theatrical game of mask on/mask off. We were at the roller rink days ago and there was a group of kids skating with masks on their wrists; the rule was (as one strident girl kept reminding the others) that as soon as they stepped off the rink, they had to put their masks on.
This has all been a plot for world-domination by the rodents. They sacrificed eight mice volunteers to convince us of vaccine efficacy, and let a few hamsters participate in a mask study.
Masks saved my life… my promotional products business collapsed when the non existent virus spread via the TV. So I had to sell something and my customers all said “Ian, can you get masks” and not being a communist of course I said yes. I supplied every type that exists. Millions of dollars worth. And then millions of rubber gloves, face shields, PCR tests, hospital gowns, hair covers, thermometers and face recognition security door entry systems that could tell if you had a mask on or not and refuse entry.
It was fun. It saved me. I can tell you Rudolph is correct, none of them work and of course the Royal college of surgeons agrees.
Personally I don’t believe in virology as a science any longer and I don’t believe viruses exist. So for me it’s a double dose of emperors cloths. Useless masks blocking non existent viruses. Of course the tests don’t work and so the idea of asymptomatic cases were simply false positives. Which was all of them in my mind.

So right Rudolph, the great unmasking. Dare I say,. that with every passing day
more and more gets "unmasked" and this is (IMO and, if there ever could be one)
the silver lining of this catastrophe. As always enjoyed the post, thank you 😊

Thanks Rudolph, great to start a new week with a reality check of the utter nonsense that has been shelled out over the last three years.
