Every Karen on Facebook is shaming her neighbors for not wearing a face mask. We are being told by governors that if we don’t wear them we are selfish, horrible human beings with no souls who want Grandma to die a horrible death. Police are tackling people who don’t wear them properly in the subway. Grocery stores are throwing maskless people out and denying them service. But now, there’s another doctor weighing in—besides Dr. Fauci, bonafide sex god and ruler of us all, who also said face masks are largely security theater and of no use to the healthy. Dr. Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon,

I still don't wear one, anywhere. If it becomes a condition of keeping my job, I would do it. So far it is still voluntary.

Carrying around a snot-soaked fabric all day doesn't seem very hygienic to me.

There is no such thing as an expert anymore. Everyone is pushing a partisan political agenda and anything that contradicts that is buried or lied about. Truth and facts all depend on who is pushing them.
I wore a mask for the first time two days ago because the hospital I went in made it mandatory. All it did was fog up my glasses. Its just theater.

My wife is a Karen on steroids. Since her stroke nine years ago, she’s been through a whole gamut of health problems. Of course, she thinks Covid-19 is the new Black Plague. What’s worse, she believes the Facebook quacks over real scientific reasoning. She has been absolutely insufferable in her insistence that I decontaminate myself and all purchases before coming in from going to the stores. God help me.

Most of this information has been out there if one bothers to look for it.
I refuse to wear a mask these days for the reasons stated in the article. Way back at the beginning of all this, it was pointed out that surgeons wear masks to protect the patient, not to avoid contracting anything FROM the patient.
I have an N95 mask because a family member is in the construction business, primarily masonry which is very dusty, and has boxes of them for his crews. I wore it once and got a headache from it. It also fogged my glasses and pushed them up onto my forehead so I couldn’t see properly.
Now I see all these masks as a sign of oppression. If a store won’t allow me in without one, I’ll shop somewhere else. As the pro-abortionists would say, “My body, my choice”.

Some ER Doctors (Louisiana and New York) have said Covid-19 causes hypoxi. Double whammy. I think more evidence says ventilators are bad (large percent of people on them die) , but none of the “experts” say that. Hmmm!

I do not wear a mask unless the place I am entering, i.e., hair salon, requires me to wear one.

Tip for glasses wearers. Our masks come folded with the internal bar at a sharp angle. Form it into a curve over a finger tip or something so it hugs the bridge of the nose better. Then push it up high enough to vent at or above the bridge of the glasses. It should help fogging.

I have some N-95 masks but hate them because they're so tight across my head and neck I was afraid they were stopping the blood flow to my brain and they leave deep ridges when I take them off. Instead bought a box of masks from Amazon that are more for show than anything else. I'm wearing a mask for all the Karens in the world, but I know they're not very effective. I can breathe, they loop behind my ears and the Karens of the world leave me alone. When I walk in the neighborhood, I don't wear a mask. People can steer clear of me and that's fine with me.

I wear one because I'm asthmatic and pick up everything. A cold is a guaranteed lung infection. The people I work with and see out in public have NO common sense coughing and sneezing without covering their faces. Disgusting.
I have always been very clean, washing my hands as soon as I enter someone's home, staying home when sick, covering my face when coughing or sneezing. People laughed and said I was a germaphobe or had OCD. No, I was thoughtful and ahead of the curve.
Now it's going to be the hot new thing! All the lubturds who laughed at me are having a virtue signaling palooza. If nothing else people and establishments will be cleaner. Planes, public transport, stores, shopping carts. It's about time! This is America let's set the standard by actually being the clean gleaming city on the hill.

I refuse to wear one or be shamed into wearing one so someone else can feel good. I have a deviated septum and can barely get enough oxygen as it is. If I'm sick, I'll stay home. Otherwise -- I'm going maskless. Luckily we don't have a dictator for a governor where I live and only Costco and Big 5 are requiring masks, so we shop elsewhere.

After all these weeks, the wife and I can attend church again. I have not worn the mask since the beginning, but I have said from the beginning that most of this hysterical whining is BS. I will have to wear a mask to attend Mass Sunday, because the diocese has ordered masks as a must, if you want to attend. It's going to be a long hour or so!

Sorry number 6. Feel for you.
I refuse to wear a mask--not mandatory and it looks stupid--but I think work is going to make me wear one next week. 8 weeks into the scamdemic, we'll start that.

I continue to think about all of the 'experts' making us confused with statements that change from day to day.
Here's how Obama would have addressed it. Remember when Obama lined people in white lab coats as scientist to inform us about global warming, were they all real scientist? That's how Obama would handle the pandemic. Line up ten or more 'experts' wearing lab coats while Obama stands behind a podium declares victory over the virus then goes golfing for the rest of the day. The media declares Obama a genius and it's over and the economy under the Light Bringer moves on.
President Donald Trump is not so lucky he has to work and will never be praised for his work but I do doubt the 'experts'.

In the early stages and during the great toilet paper panic of 2020 I wore a mask to grocery shop. As of lately very few times all I get is the smell of whiskey in my nose from my breath it certainly is more dangerous than a savior.

I doubt masks provide much protection. However, Dr. Blaylocks assertion that they are actually harmful is dubious at best. If there were actually adverse consequences to wearing them, one would think operating room staff and surgeons that wear them through their entire work day would have suffered harm and that the problem would be well described. It is not.

Dr. Blaylock is my doctor, not Fauci. Dr. Blaylock describes one thing everyone knows. When you are sick, your body expels its toxins through exhaling, sweating, restroom visits, anyway it can. If you block any of those natural defenses by the body, you are going to extend your illness. Any blockage of inhaling oxygen will give a person headaches, and the body's bloodflow will be less effective, aggravating arthritis and other pain. There are also serious constitutional questions of the use of force in wearing masks. It is not constitutional.

Dr. Russell Blaylock has a great newsletter that I have subscribed to for many years. All my life I've taken various vitamins and supplements, especially Vitamin C. I haven't had a Flu in over 50 years and I estimate I've had 3 minor Colds in the last 20. I've NEVER had a Flu Shot. This current virus is nothing to sneeze at and should be avoided at all costs. I would definitely believe Blaylock before Fauci!!!

Blaylock's argument is sloppy and a little dishonest. The study that he cites when he claims that there is no scientific evidence that masks provide protection, was focused on protecting the wearer against influenza, but it did note that "eight of nine retrospective observational studies found that mask and/or respirator use was independently associated with a reduced risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)." That sounds like evidence to me, especially since we're talking about something more like SARS than flu. Besides, everyone knows that they're telling us that the justification for masks is to protect others from you, not the other way around.
His argument about the secondary effects of masks is all about N95 masks, which is not what the general public is being asked to wear when they go into Costco. That's just another simple fact that everyone knows.
He may be right that masks are a big waste of effort, but he needs better arguments.
Here's the paper about the effectiveness of masks: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5779801/

I consider a guy Dr. Stephen Smith more an expert than either Fauci or Birx. Dr. Smith has been quoted widely in the media, but the problem is, he agrees with the WH response so far, and the therapies that are being used. Mainly because he is in the real world of medicine, not the lab rat bureaucracy of Fauci and Birx.
I would not be surprised if the alleged 'second wave' has everything to do with what Fauci has been pushing in terms of masks, staying away from ER's without calling first, and staying home instead of working. There are some serious medical issues that are being allowed to slide, all because they aren't as sexy for the media as the virus is. How many people have died because of strokes or other problems, all because they called the ER first for permission, rather than just going? That too needs to be addressed.

The company line where I work is I'm supposed to wear a mask when I leave my office to go to the bathroom or cafeteria - and when I approach a co-worker's desk for a question! Otherwise you don't need to wear it - even though our desks are arranged in rows and (as I'm writing this) the co-worker sitting directly behind me isn't wearing his mask. And - the moment I step out of my office I'm in a hallway where I routinely see workers w/o masks on - or wearing them Inappropriately (w/o covering their noses.) As of this past Monday our idiot Gov mentioned we're expected to wear masks if we want to shop at Kroger, so I wore a mask slung under my chin (just to see if I got a reaction out of the store workers.) Saw shoppers w/o masks and others not wearing them appropriately.
I'll keep one in my pocket but I refuse to be a sheep.

I don't wear a mask. Had a routine doc appointment yesterday, took a mask.
Temp check at building entrance, "approved sticker" stuck on my shirt.
Questions about travel, temperature, cough, etc by another person at the exit from the elevator, verified I had an appointment before continuing. Then entered the doc suite, checked in, basic checks, BP, O2, etc, then meet with the doc.
Not once asked to wear a mask by anyone (they were all wearing them), so it stayed in my pocket.

I put the doctor`s editorial on Facebook to share with friends and their "fact checkers" said his facts aren't true. Something is not right.

I can't wear face masks because of my asthma. They severely limit my breathing and I start to panic. I explain this to the people manning the doors at Costco and I've not had a problem.
Today, I saw on Amazon that they are selling Trump 2020 masks for a reasonable price. I may invest in one just to have it handy. If the leftists see enough of these on the streets, they may drop the requirement that everyone needs a mask!!

I am in Columbus.My Pilates teacher rents a large room in an office building .the building owner has said she has to follow these guidelines.the easy stuff..wear a mask, gloves, take temp of client..now the other stuff..said she has to change her clothes and sanitize the room between clients.Now...she always does that by cleaning her equipment. but changing her clothes all day..I told her that wearing one of the gowns that nurses wear should work..the other occupants of the building are all massage therapist, facialists, acupuncture etc. but Pilates..doesn't even touch anyone.and Pilates inst. are not licensed.I just don't see how that building owner could make her do all of it..I know she is running on fear..maybe she will see reason.
