Facemasks: It’s All About Politics.

September 17, 2021 By Richard C. Young

At LewRockwell.com, Bill Sardi talks about the odds of acquiring COVID-19 and how the science behind face masks is lacking. He writes (abridged):

Face masks are baaack!  The Delta Variant of COVID-19 is not halting the spread of the virus.

The Centers for Disease Control advises face masks indoors even if fully vaccinated.  Have we ever had a vaccine that didn’t work like this one?

The day after California dropped its face mask mandate, I walked into a Trader Joe’s store as the lone person not wearing a mask.  It was like shoppers in the store froze.  Everyone stared at me.  Why wasn’t I wearing a mask?  Why was I exposing them to the virus?  But I wasn’t ill.  And the chances I had COVID were remote.

In fact, it takes 40,500 encounters with infected people to get infected and over 6 million encounters to produce 1 death.

Other reports estimate the odds of acquiring COVID-19 coronavirus infection from contact with an infected person is 1 in 3868 (ranges from  in 626 to 1 in 31,800) and the odds of dying from COVID-19 is 1 in 19.1 million (ranges from 1 in 3.1 million to 1 in 159 million).

These estimates are without citizens taking precautions such as face-masks and social distancing.

Face masks are an exercise in futility.

The masses are now trained, I thought.  No mandate is needed now.  Outside of drowning themselves in alcohol (home consumption up 500%), which they are doing, they have no other way to handle their fear.  It’s not about science, it’s about politics from the side of our overlords and fear when it comes to the masses.

Forget about the lack of science behind face masks and infectious disease.  It’s never been about science.  Surprisingly, even wearing face masks in surgery has been called a mindless “ritual,” a “sacred cow.”
