When masking first came out they were pretty serious about it. This virus is SMALL. So small they haven't actually isolated it yet. As such they were recommending N95 masks. These masks were designed to stop materials below a certain size. I wore a couple of them early on (before anywhere in the U.S. was recommending them) and they were tough to breathe in because they are designed to stop things. I almost passed out a couple of times while wearing them.
By the time the CDC, and WHO started pushing masks I was over them. I no longer thought they were necessary. I stand by that.
To me masking has nothing to do with the illness and everything to do with seeing who will comply with anything they are told to do. Will you obey, or will you ask questions? The mask is often a good indicator for some of that right away. To a degree. Many of us (myself included) wear a mask where required, but it is not what you might think. I ask questions though so they can't identify me for no mask. They can identify the most stubborn of people though that refuse to give in to the authoritarian decrees.
There are some key things you can look at to show it is purely about compliance and not about the illness.
They literally do not care what type of mask you wear as long as you wear one.
They treat anything you decide to string across your face as complying. You are masked up.
Whether that tissue paper, that nice colorful piece of cloth, that crocheted mask, or that paintball gun mask actually blocks any illnesses is irrelevant. All that matters is you complied and put on the mask.

With one exception I've worn an airsoft gun mask anywhere I need to mask up. I've not been questioned once though I am wearing a painted metal mask with little visible holes all over it.
The exception was when I went to a house viewing where I was considering moving and the owners were ill so asked that anyone doing a viewing wear a mask. I did not have my mask with me. My realtor provided me one of the nice blue and white ones with the simple over the ear design. You know it is basically the same one most people wear now. WOW! That thing was really easy to breathe in.
Then I watch people like Nancy Pelosi mandating masks when you can clearly see she is wearing some designer cloth mask that would do absolutely nothing in relation to the illness.
(Image Source: katabijakuwow.blogspot.com) - Yep as she demands mask mandates that piece of cloth that looks flowery but doesn't even hug her face will do ABSOLUTELY nothing against any illness.
The mask is your acknowledgement that they can violate your rights, break the law, and frighten you and you will do as you are told.
At this point that is ALL that it is.
It is the game of fear. If they can keep people afraid they can make those people do and accept things that normally they would not.
- Wear the mask...
- Don't wear the mask...
- Wear the mask...
- Don't wear the mask...
- Wear two masks...
- Don't wear the mask...

- If you are vaccinated you don't need the mask...

It feels like I am watching a Tennis Match and the mask situation is the tennis ball.

EDIT: 7/31/2021
I ran into some comment Gold from some doctors today...
It was in the article: Jackass DC Judge Shames Jan. 6 Political Prisoner for Not Wearing Mask During Hearing: “When Did You Go to Medical School?”
I do have a medical degree and that judge is a first class POS. The Uniparty POS POTUS (Bush) who appointed him is that much worse. Godspeed to ALL political prisoners being held by the Marxist-Globalist illegitimate regime in Wash DC.
I have one too and had extra coursework in molecular biology. The pores in those masks are easily seen with a lower power light microscope. A virus, roughly 1/1000th the size of the diameter of a human hair, can pass through a mask like a car could drive through a hole the size of a football field. The masks are all about submission and control
Don't believe this? Go work in a Level 4 bio hazard lab. Think they wear masks when dealing with things like Ebola virus. If you think that you are IGNORANT. They were Level 4 hazard suits completely covering the body with a material tested to impermeable to viral particles. They also do NOT breathe ambient air. They wear SCBA tanks so they have a completely isolated independent air supply.
You want to stop a virus from infecting you, you will need one of these suits. We are being LIED. They depend on the masses to believe whatever the ruling class tells them. Unless you have the ability to CRITICALLY THINK and have suspicions enough to do your own homework, you will fall for their BS.
Face masks are used in surgical suites NOT to block viruses but to block sputum, etc that may fall out of a surgical team's mouth or nose and contaminate a surgical site. WAKE UP! The masks idiots are wearing are akin to the burka face covering that is forced on Muslim women as an act of submission and control

Political theatre.
One of the basic thing we know the government for.
Replying to my own older post:
My opinion on the mask has been the same from the start, my opinion is that the coronavirus can spread through the air, these masks help reduce/filter the air and so they are quite helpful.
I think the reason why just any mask would do for the authorities is because in the beginning there weren't enough masks for everybody, or something.
In this whole Corona saga I've not had anything against the mask, all I've had something against is the vaccine and the fact that alternative medication for the virus (like ivermectin, hydroxyQ, immune system boosters) are not being talked about at all by the authorities. That's where I see a conspiracy and it seems it is all about the money from vaccine purchase.
I mention that I was over the mask by the time they started pushing for masks here in the US. My family and I were wearing them a bit before they were mandated.
Part of the reason I no longer used them was because I learned how small COVID supposedly is so most of the masks don't do anything. They don't block the size of particles in the air that COVID is.
The only ones that might would be ones that are very difficult to breathe in.
Yet ultimately I learned about Hydroxychloroquine quite a bit before Trump said anything and the media and their "we can't let Trump ever be right" mission went to war against HCQ. Once I learned about it. I saw no need for the mask.
I was also carefully monitoring the death statistics and they were getting lower and lower. Ultimately it wasn't any worse than a high flu season in many places. The only difference is this would be like if the media was talking nonstop about all the people that died from flu.
I totally agree with you on this one.
I believe the issue of wearing mask was to instill that fear in us and we complied.
When I started wearing mask, it was so uncomfortable for me, from not breathing properly to obstruction while communicating and all that but I still had to endure it all because of the havoc the virus is causing, I mean I wouldn't want to be a scapegoat.
As time goes on,people started wearing pieces of cloth in the name of shielding the virus from entering the lungs and so on, and nobody was saying anything about it, I mean the said virus is very tiny that it pass through tiny pores, then I realized that what matters is to wear mask whether or not it is shielding anyone from the virus
Masks can't stop individual virus molecules...I'm not even sure N95 masks do that. However, a virus is typically transmitted in a droplet which is much larger. Masks CAN stop these. However:
Masks do a better job keeping infected people from spreading droplets than an individual being infected because of them. In other words sick people wearing them help more than well people wearing them.
While masks can help, they really only help in specific circumstances. Namely being in close proximity to someone while talking to them face to face...or being near somebody who sneezes or coughs.
While a mask can stop droplets, the numbers I've typically seen are that they stop about 80%. I don't know that stopping only 80% is ultimately helpful...I'm assuming the other 20% can still make you sick.
While a virus can be spread directly through the air via droplets, I believe it is more common for it to be spread via touch from infected surfaces (i.e. someone sneezes in their hand, touches a door and then someone else comes along and touches the same door then proceeds to touch their eyes, nose or mouth). In other words, being careful about touching your face and washing your hands regularly probably helps a lot more than a mask.
So, sure, masks MIGHT help to a limited degree. And perhaps if the goal was to really "flatten the curve" as we were all originally told than maybe it makes sense to have everyone wear them for a short time. But it became absurd a long time ago...
I only replied to one of the three replies (two duplicates). I had problems with my connection yesterday and ended up with a duplicate so I am familiar with your plight.
Yep I appreciate your comment. Any of us that have been paying attention have heard this and know that is the narrative for the reason.
We simply know that it hasn't actually ended up making a difference when comparing places that do versus places that don't.
Also the type of mask should matter. They ultimately don't care what type of mask you wear as long as you have something over your face. It could be a piece of cheese held on by rubber bands for all they care.
As to stopping the droplets. Spray an aerosol fragrance and if you can smell it those droplets in that aerosol are technically bigger than what COVID supposedly is.
Now stopping a sick person from spitting up onto surfaces, people, etc. it might happen provided it is clean, they are not touching it, etc.
Habits and studies have shown masks sometimes make that worse because the people feel the need to keep touching them. Also they will reuse masks. Especially when they clearly picked the mask to fit with their wardrobe.
Oh and you were the one originally from Missouri were you not?
