(W:#59)Biden Caught on Video Violating D.C. Mask Mandate at Upscale Restaurant

Right. Elected officials are better than the rest of us and should NEVER be expected to abide by the laws they pass to protect the unwashed from themselves. In America, winning an election is much like Baptism was for Jesus. It cleansed him so that he could heal the world and politicians really aren't any different. They are clean and they have been anointed with the objectively secular spirit so that they might heal all that ails us.

Thank goodness someone around here finally understands what government is all about!
Just to note.. you would have more credibility if you held the elected officials that you like (like Trump).. to the same standard.

Since you don;t. I suppose the rest of us should give your comments their just consideration.
 
Masks work to slow the spread of covid.
There is a plethora of scientific studies that shows that they are significant in source countrol.

The weak minded are those that think that they are being "controlled".. by being asked to wear a mask.

Cripes.. being duped by a group of internet posters convincing the snowflakes that their local doctors are recommending mask wearing as a means to "control them".
Whats next.. "be sure to put your tinfoil hats on because now healthcare workers are using MRI machines to send waves out to control you like a zombie"???

Come now.
No...they dont. The science says they dont. The facts say they dont. You were spoon fed lies from the get go about masks. They dont work..wait...they do work...you need them...you dont need them once you have had the shot, wait...you do need them...you know what...be safe...wear 2. You were spoon fed lies about masks. You were spoon fed lies about social distancing. Its a tragic, sick, sad pathetic joke that has been played on you and you fell for it.

The political proponents of masks time and time and time again have demonstrated THEY dont believe in wearing masks, yet they push it on you and you swallow. Eagerly.

Yes.. the science says they do.
The preponderance of evidence indicates that mask wearing reduces transmissibility per contact by reducing transmission of infected respiratory particles in both laboratory and clinical contexts.

No one was fed lies. Only those folks that frankly are not smart enough to understand what was being said about masks.. think that they were being "lied to".
There is a difference between masks preventing the wearing from being infected. (which was what fauci was originally talking about..when he discouraged people from wearing a mask and thinking they were good to say go out and get on the subway).
And using masks as a means to prevent those infected.. from spreading the disease (aka source control). Which by the way.. Fauci alluded to when in he stated masks should be reserved for medical providers and those that were sick.

The reality is that its the sheeple.. who like to hear the constant bleating.. "masks don;t work.. vaccines are dangerous".. that makes them feel secure. They like that consistency that makes them feel safe.

Meanwhile.. people who are not sheeple and who are critical thinkers.. understand that recommendations will change as the knowledge of the virus changes and change as the context/situations in the country change.

But you keep on believing that all the medical providers recommending masks.. and who have been wearing masks WELL before the pandemic in surgery etc.. who have actual medical knowledge about infectious diseases...
All of them just don;t know how dumb they are... because YOU are the smart one.. right? Cuz your mommy from the internet says you are.. so so smart for not wearing a mask...

think about it for more than a minute.
 
Oh no! He was literally making a few steps from the table (where you do NOT need to wear a mask since you eat/drink there) to outside (where you also do NOT need to wear a mask).

Outrageous!
 
Yes.. the science says they do.

:ROFLMAO:
Your comment is so comically, tragically, laughably ironic and ass-bakwards.

YOU people are the ones that have been milling about like sheep waiting to be told what to do...what to think..how to act..where to stand...if its safe to come out of your little holes. Sheeple? Go find a mirror, dood...seriously...

As for the masks....Ive posted the evidence that shows that beyond droplets, surgical and cloth masks do not protect from viral transmission so many times its ridiculous.

Face Masks​


In our systematic review, we identified 10 RCTs that reported estimates of the effectiveness of face masks in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the community from literature published during 1946–July 27, 2018. In pooled analysis, we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.51–1.20; I2 = 30%, p = 0.25) (Figure 2). One study evaluated the use of masks among pilgrims from Australia during the Hajj pilgrimage and reported no major difference in the risk for laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infection in the control or mask group (33). Two studies in university settings assessed the effectiveness of face masks for primary protection by monitoring the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza among student hall residents for 5 months (9,10). The overall reduction in ILI or laboratory-confirmed influenza cases in the face mask group was not significant in either studies (9,10). Study designs in the 7 household studies were slightly different: 1 study provided face masks and P2 respirators for household contacts only (34), another study evaluated face mask use as a source control for infected persons only (35), and the remaining studies provided masks for the infected persons as well as their close contacts (1113,15,17). None of the household studies reported a significant reduction in secondary laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the face mask group (1113,15,17,34,35). Most studies were underpowered because of limited sample size, and some studies also reported suboptimal adherence in the face mask group.

Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids (36). There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.

But you go on...by all means. Keep doing what you are told. You SEE how little the people that tell you what to think buy into what they tell YOU to do...but its OK. THEY are different from you.

Yawn.. soory..but I already linked to a plethora of studies that proved you wrong.
The studies you posted were 1. Not all on source control.
2. Suffered from small number of subjects.
( which by the way..you cited)
 
It shows Biden knows mask wearing is political not medical
Yes.

Biden is seventy-eight years old. He's the president of the United States. If the people around him - whose entire ambitions depend on him being president - thought that masks would protect him from COVID, they would be fanatical about ensuring that he kept his on at all times in public and people around him did also.

They did a political calculation that the "face time" with his face visible was more politically advantageous than setting the example of obedience by wearing a mask.
 
Yes.. the science says they do.

Why don't you think about this for a minute before you condemn those who find the hypocrisy of every damn Democrat politician pushing the mandates of masks on the masses while not living up to their own damn mandates. And the damn hypocrisy starts at the top with Joe Biden.

The theater of wearing a mask in the WH on a fargin zoom call with world leaders sitting there wearing a damn mask when none of the other leaders on the zoom call were wearing a mask. Then his side kick Fauci out there had just came out wringing his hands over sports stadiums being super spreader events and a couple of days later Biden showed up at a ballgame photographed not wearing his mask huddled yucking it up with his buddies and none of them wearing masks. He has been photographed on a number of occasions without wearing a mask in public surrounded with people. The latest is his dining date with Jill in DC. The Democrat mayor of DC has strict mask mandates she is enforcing even though she herself has been filmed not following her own damn mandates. Now Biden and Jill have been videoed not wearing their masks going to a posh DC restaurant walking into the restaurant, walking through the restaurant, walking out of the restaurant without their masks. People are fed up with the hypocrisy.

The Democrat elites have shown the American people that the Democrat elites don't think their shit stinks. And the people are sick and tired of it. They are also fed up with Biden's over the top authoritarian COVID mandates and edicts forcing people that want to be able to function in society to be forced to take a vaccine even though their doctor has advised them not to at this time. When government starts over-riding what their doctor has recommended hello Huston we have a problem. This administration still refuses to recognize natural immunity by which shows me this administration is involved in politicizing COVID by design because if they did we would have already met herd immunity months ago.

I could go on but if you believe masks are important, than by all means wear a mask. Hell wear five masks if it makes you feel more secure. And if that isn't enough wrap yourself in bubble wrap and not leave your home. While I am very pro vaccine, I will stand up for the rights of those who do not choose to get the vaccine at this time or forced to wear masks. After living my life for over a year in isolation away from all my loved ones I am finished with this bullshit. After being vaccinated I am done with the masks. This week I am getting my flu shot because that season is once again upon us.

More evidence even the strongest proponents of mask and mandates know it’s complete BS.


“Video of the incident shows the Bidens walking through Fiola Mare without masks, in violation of the district’s indoor mask policy, which Mayor Muriel Bowser reinstated in July amid rising cases of the delta variant of COVID-19.”


He's walking OUT onto the terrace. He still has the mask in his hands, had just taken it off as he went outside.

The front of Fiola Mare:

Nice try, though.

It has been obvious for well over a year that the left uses these masks as a means to force submission on people, or to virtue signal.

Did you see the video of Pelosi removing masks to take photos INDOORS? But they all squawk at any Republican or any person with
who dares to violate their bullshit false virtue signalling mandates by removing a mask. Where is the liberal outrage in this hypocrisy?
The same "outrage" they will dole out to mother on an airplane having difficulty keeping a mask on her 2 year old and ONE month autistic
child, who is then tossed off an airplane, and the story is she refused to follow the mask rules.


Don't you know the rules don't apply to democrats. The media will cover for them. Most of the democrats have been caught on camera indoors, at functions, without masks and have even made light of the fact they got caught.

“This is a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision,”

Thats all this was ever about. And all they had to do is exploit the weak and simple minded that were all too eager to be used.

He was outside, mask still in both hands. Because he was just taking it off after wearing it inside. This is total bullshit and ought to be flushed.
 
What's a lie MaryP. What you want to believe or what is actually reality.
What a question! Did you look at my posts? He was outside, just taking off his mask. Look at the pictures.

Come on, didn't you know? Mask mandates are for you commoners and plebs. Oh and they totally work. See the white house officials like covid.

He's got the mask in his hands, about to put it on just as they are walking in. And when he leaves, walks outside, he's just taken if off because he was wearing it inside. But now he's outside.

Couldn't get more than 14 seconds of him maskless, huh? That's because second 15 must have been when he put it on. Damn, spoils the whole fake scandal for you, doesn't it?

so what does sort of thing does is show everyone how stupid it is and how nobody takes it seriously and we're all just pretending.

I'm never going to be the guy to afraid point and say that the emperor is naked

Not really there is a banquet of video and photographic evidence of democrat officials not using masks when they're supposed to be.

They're just highlighting what we all know.

I said in @Chainsawmassacre 's Talib thread, it's no wonder that Talib was worried about repubs catching her without a mask for a few seconds. And, sure enough, a week or so later we get a hair on fire thread about Biden having his mask off for a short time.
 
Let's see it then.
Oh Mary P. you have left a trail of posts that reveals who you are. I am not going to waste my time doing something that you already know is true. Have a nice day.
