  • Noam Chomsky compares anti-maskers to mass shooters

    Chomsky claimed that people who oppose wearing masks are an “epidemic” in American politics, more concerned about protecting their freedoms than following science:

    “I mean, do you have an individual right to take an assault rifle and go to the supermarket or mall and start shooting randomly?” he questioned. “That’s what it means not to wear a mask. It’s a strange kind of individualism.”

  • Endless Mask Mandates: ‘When the pandemic is over we should continue wearing masks’ – Should ‘continue to be used as a tool in managing public health’

    "What if, even after the worst of the pandemic is behind us, face masks continue to be used as a tool in managing public health during the regular flu season, which the World Health Organization says kills as many as 650,000 people a year? ... What if we stopped politicizing the face covering, which has been maligned as a muzzle and a violation of civil liberties, and normalize the mask as simply an effective barrier to keep our harmful germs in, and deadly particle pollution out?"

  • Good Thing We Banned Straws! New Report Says 1.5 BILLION Masks Will Pollute The Ocean This Year

    Article Image

    "From a global production projection of 52 billion masks for 2020, we estimate that 1.56 billion masks will enter our oceans in 2020, amounting to between 4,680 and 6,240 metric tonnes of plastic pollution. These masks will take as long as 450 years to break down and all the while serve as a source of micro plastic and negatively impact marine wildlife and ecosystems."

  • Mexico’s president calls virus lockdowns ‘dictatorship’ – Lockdowns are ‘fashionable among authorities…who want to show they are heavy handed, dictatorship’

  • Analysis: Mask mandates worthless & may increase COVID ‘cases’ ‘ ‘With mask mandates in place states say 10 more cases per 100K population’

    Another objection: "Well, we can never know for certain HOW MUCH WORSE it could have been without masks." First, that's not science - that's unfalsifiable nonsense.
    Maybe consider that the virus is beyond your control.

  • Many Epidemiologists Want Social Distancing and Masks Forever—Even After the Vaccine – Masks & social distancing—will feel ‘normal’ in time

    "I expect that wearing a mask will become part of my daily life, moving forward, even after a vaccine is deployed," Amy Hobbs, a research associate at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told The Times.

    Michael Webster-Clark of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill said he expected "further relaxation of most precautions by mid-to-late summer 2021" following widespread availability of the vaccine.

    Marilyn Tseng, an assistant professor at California Polytechnic State University, said life would never revert to the way it was, though the preventative measures currently practiced—masks and social distancing—will feel "normal" in time. Similarly, Vasily Vlassov, a professor at HSE University in Moscow, said life was perfectly normal now because this is the new normal.

    Reason's ROBBY SOAVE: " Everyone has a right to dissent from the epidemiologists' contentment with the way things are now...Epidemiologists are free to take whatever precautions they deem necessary in their own lives, of course—as are the rest of us. But for too long, their pessimistic dictates have provided cover for politicians and government employees to make people's lives miserable."

  • 30 studies since March 2020 finding COVID lockdowns had little or no efficacy
  • Claim: ‘COVID-19 has shown what happens when we destroy nature’ – ‘Transformative change is urgently needed’ to avoid new pandemics

    Never let a crisis go to waste:

    WWF International: "Transformative change is urgently needed in our productive sectors, including our food systems, forestry, fisheries, infrastructure and extractives, and in the finance sector. These transformations need to happen fast if we are to limit risks of higher restoration costs and irreversible damage, including new pandemics and species extinction. We must transform our food systems so that enough healthy and nutritious food is produced for all, within planetary boundaries."

  • UN expects average person in 2100 to be 450% richer. ‘Climate change’ will theoretically reduce that to 434% richer
