The Centers for Disease Control released another study showing no statistically significant decrease in "daily case" or "death growth" rates from COVID-19 in areas with mask mandates. This comes after a similar CDC study in October indicated that mask mandates do not appear to have slowed or stopped the spread of the coronavirus at all. Still, the CDC continues to recommend that all Americans wear masks, except in certain private settings when individuals are fully vaccinated, unless the goalpost-shifting Dr. Fauci gets his way.This whole "masks don't seem to be having much effect, but wear them anyway" bureaucratic calculus may seem like a frivolous controversy to Americans
Agenda 2030.

Making masks controversial is a poor strategy. It's not a hill we want to die on. It's just too obvious that masks help prevent spread. Trying to deny that makes us look like nutbags.

If “science” tells us they are crap, shouldn’t we follow the science......

I think as more and more Million of Americans are Vaccinated, they are going to take back control of their lives and throw away the Masks. Most of my Friends and Neighbors have had both Shots and have waited the additional two weeks to give the Immunity a chance to take hold. We have faithfully worn our masks, but now, NO! They are gone for good. I also think that the Stores we shop in that have a sign on the Door that a mask is needed to enter will have to decide if they want customers, or not. I will go somewhere else if I find a mask is DEMANDED now. They know most everyone in our community has been vaccinated, so if they choose to lose business over the Mask mandate, so be it! Enough of looking like the Little Chinese people who have forever scurried around with a mask on everywhere they go. We are NOT China and we are not going to be dictated to any longer!

The masks will not stop until we just refuse to wear the damned things.

Wearing a needless ineffective mask, signals that you are a compliant servant of the government That is the only thing it does effectively. Next will be carrying your vaccination documents to travel. The mask hill in the the government's march to tyranny may well be the easiest hill to fight on. H L Menchen is worth repeating, "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary."

The masks are a visual. Visuals are very important..................as in " A picture is worth 1000 words ". They reinforce the mantra that the virus is out there and will kill you unless you do as we tell you. It's government telling you that you're not capable of assessing a situation and deciding for yourself. It's fear and panic porn.
It's training you , like Pavlov's dog.

Fauci may be the face of the virus but they are guiding his every word. We really miss Rachel Levine up here in Pennsylvania and want to see him promoted to Fauci's position. People will be entertained as well as scared.

The spread of what, #2? I see masks aiding in the spread of fear and bovine excrement but all they block is oxygen.

It's not obvious to me that masks stop the spread except filtered masks in very infrequent instances, such as when on crowded mass transportation. These hundreds of millions post card sized masks (where you inhale through the sides and exhale and steam your glasses) are worthless chin diapers.
Our Democrat controlled governments, federal, state and local, have millions still cowering in fear, such as vehicle drivers, alone and driving in a vehicle, wearing a mask, and physically fit teenagers wearing a mask while walking out of doors in the middle of nowhere and no one else is in sight in any direction. They all look like hangdog fools and cowards.

People are free to wear their silly little Linus blankets if they want to. Its nothing more than virtue signaling. I am free to not wear one and I dont. Nor will I get their so called vaccine. This is the most corrupt government we have ever seen in this country. Everything they say or do is to benefit them, not us. I'm not buying it.

Wearing a mask is somewhat useful for two kinds of people. One, health care workers coming in close contact with sick people - COVID or not, Two, those exhibiting visible symptoms. This was true at the beginning of the pandemic , is true now. For the rest it is like trying to protect yourself from mosquitoes by erecting a chain link fence - only stupider!

In another year people still wearing the masks will be socialist democrats and only be know as identifiers. It looks like Bed Bath and Beyond were serious about their mask policy when four employees beat up a customer for not wearing one. I'm with the poster that having a stringent mask policy and customers who don't comply don't want your business or make profit I'll just go elsewhere it as simple as that.

I agree with # 9, except to say that most people seem not to prefer to assess the situation of themselves. It is easier to just go along and not be branded as "selfish" by those who take their cues from the MSM.

The only reason Government demands citizens wear masks is to see if Government can demand, and get compliance from their citizens. Also mask wearing strips people of their individuality. They are not looking for "Herd Immunity", it's more like "Herd Mentality".

Covid was just a scheme between the Chinese and Democrats to get rid of Trump, institute the Green New Deal, Climate Change policies, and socialism. Covid has taken all the gas guzzlers off the road. It has eliminated all the small businesses, and made everyone a dependent of a central government. Elections are no longer elections, but facades to perpetuate socialist hegemony. The opposition is being censored, and deplatformed. We are the USR of America. We are never going to see Covid policies lifted. Other strains could be coming. You could die. To live, you have to become a slave of the socialists.

Don't the BLMers and Antifa members all wear masks? Well why not their brother Dems also hide behind masks?
