As Predicted, Masks are Coming Back

It's hard to believe that we're still having to deal with masks and mask mandates in the summer of 2022

  • While many states or countries have moved past the pandemic, those desperate to keep it going are ignoring the reality currently unfolding across the world right in front of their eyes

Los Angeles

  • When the public health department did spot checks in December 2021 to measure compliance, they found that over 95% of employees and customers at over 1,500 businesses were wearing masks
  • Cases in the county immediately exploded, breaking records and reaching more than double the winter surge of 2020-2021
  • A month and a half after the mandate was lifted, cases remained low

Schools

  • The continuation of forced school masking has become the most pernicious trend of COVID policy
  • School masking is completely unnecessary
  • There is no significant benefit to it, no matter how hard you look
  • Even as far back as May 2021, research conducted on schools in several states confirmed that there was no difference whatsoever in student case rates regardless of masking policy

The Examples

  • Several countries are experiencing near record surges despite their masking policies or compliance
  • New Zealand
  • Japan
  • Singapore
  • Despite claims by the former US Surgeon General that the city controlled surges with masking and mitigation, the latest outbreak is once again heading towards record highs
  • The fears that were raised throughout the past two years that pretending masking works would lead to indefinite rolling mandates, appears to be coming true
