Some people want to keep taking the blue pills. I understand that. There's much to be said for remaining in ignorance. Adam and Eve were better off ignorant in Paradise according to some belief systems who think the devil was the bad guy.

Adam and Eve never existed. Like 'gods' they are human inventions.

I agree but like MSM, it is what the sheep aren't told in the story that is the most important thing.

When people are afraid, they will do things to stave off their fear.

When they are kept in a state of terror (as our Media and Socialist elements in government are pushing) they will willingly believe all propaganda and obey any "orders" in exchange for a little more promised "safety and security."

This is the goal of authoritarians. Convince the masses that only by obeying and demonstrating obedience can they be protected from "The Threat." That anyone who does not obey, IS "The Threat."

This gives the authoritarians both access to more power, and a scapegoat to use to maintain that power.

So wearing masks, and fearing people who don't is just the desired result.

Do you believe that President Biden won a fair election free of statistically significant voter fraud last November?

Not true. We obey the mask mandates because they make perfect sense and because they're a very minor inconvenience.

Maskholes Prove Exactly What Conservatives Have Been Saying All Along

This is everything I have been trying to teach all of you here, to no avail. The link goes on to quote the idiot leftist



What am I to do with those who don't like facts? They know 2+2=4 but refuse to admit it.

Looking at an entire state's covid cases/deaths is not a good way to measure how effective masks are because you can't isolate them from the many other variables that contribute to the spread of covid. A much better way is to look at it in a controlled study of masks, which have shown that they definitely do work.

Is it authoritarian control when the government mandates that you wear a seat belt? And do you flout that control by refusing to wear one?
Is it authoritarian control when you have to stop for a red light? Hopefully you get the point I am trying to make.
If scientists who know more than I say we should wear a mask to minimize the spread of disease, shouldn't I do that, not because I'm trembling in fear, but
because it makes sense to follow the advice of those who know more about a given subject than you do.

No. Who said, "it is no biggie"? The amount of people who died from its per capita is nowhere near the number of people who died per capita in the Spanish flu and we didn't have anywhere near the elderly population or overcrowding then. This virus is not even a blip on what has happened over the centuries when you take into consideration how out of shape and old and crowded humanity is today.

The virus doesn't care about a human's petty desire to live to 95.

I'm guessing your'e not a senior citizen. No worries you'll be there soon enough. I can tell you from experience it's uncanny how quickly it happens.

Sure glad I'm not your grandparents. But then you've probably already sent your parents to a nursing home to be done with them.

Those were and are not controlled studies and are based on interviews, suppositions, speculations. They are not scientific by any stretch of the imagination.

Yes to question #1. I was around well-before seat belts were in all cars, much less when one became required to wear by law. That was a government intrusion allegedly in the name of "safety," but a "requirement" in reality motivated in aid of Insurance Companies who didn't want to pay for accident injuries.

As to question #2. No I don't because I am operating the vehicle on roads built and maintained by the government via taxes, which gives the State power to regulate those who wish to operate a vehicle on.

See answer to question #2 above.

That presupposes both that the "expert" DOES "know more than you, and that the "advice" is universally accepted without dispute by OTHER "experts."

That is not the case with masking. Even so, the choice should remain mine since it is my life. But you don't hear me demanding that YOU do what I do or what I say.

Review of my post history shows I have no problems with others making such choices for themselves. It is the demand that I must conform which is problematic when I can't see the same value/risk being touted.

Obviously you are doing just a wonderful job at your profession.
Have you convinced anyone that masks don’t reduce viral transmission? Did you perform the experiment I, as YOUR teacher, devised to prove you wrong? If you need a refresher I can give you instructions again.

I really don't expect to convince anyone here of the truth. Long-held beliefs instilled into the human mind from constant repetition by the MSM and DNC are nigh on impossible to get rid of. Remember the Russian Collusion ruse tens of millions of you believed?

Haven't seen truth from you yet.
All you post is partisan bullshit.
That's why most here don't take you seriously.

I like the cliche comments from you and others such as 'That's why most here don't take you seriously."
Your side is always attacking the individual rather than the points he or she makes. This is because the truth can never be defeated but your opponent can be assassinated just like the evil Democrats did to Trump.
