Our bad Republican Governor who punches people he doesn’t agree with is going to be removing the statewide mask mandate. This is terribly concerning for anyone deluding themselves that masks have a measurable impact on transmission.
Fear of asymptomatic spreaders established the perception that masks are needed and effective. This is very similar to the fear of Muslim terrorists and the possibility they could be hiding bombs in their shoes. To KEEP US SAFE from those possible terrorists, we are now required to take our shoes off EVERY TIME we board a plane. You think masks will be any different?
In Missoula, the fear of unmasked children and bad Republicans has merged to create a special policy just for Missoula public schools. The board of trustees approved the policy Tuesday night:
At a meeting Tuesday night, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution to require al staff, volunteers, visitors and students, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a face covering while in school buildings, as well as during any outdoor school activity where distancing is not possible.
“We do want to make it clear that face coverings are a key mitigation strategy and we’ve seen that time and again with several guidance documents that talk about reopening schools,” Superintendent Rob Watson said at the meeting.
“We believe that this policy needs to be adopted so that we’re clear with our students and our staff and more importantly, with our community that might come into our buildings, that you do need a face covering when you’re coming into our building.”
Why just ONE mask? Didn’t the CDC just tell us that TWO MASKS are better than one? Is the school board trying to murder teachers like Ted Cruz tried to murder AOC?
I’m glad to see that “vaccination status” won’t trump the mask mandate. This makes sense, considering the so-called “efficacy” of the experimental gene-therapy vaccines doesn’t mean a reduction in transmission.
But don’t take that from me, here’s a mainstream news source (BBC) that says the same thing (my emphasis):
So far, the available Covid-19 vaccines have not been judged primarily on their ability to prevent transmission – though this is now being evaluated as a secondary endpoint for many of them. Instead, their efficacy was assessed by whether they could prevent symptoms from developing. “This means that we set our targets kind of pragmatically,” says Danny Altmann, professor of immunology at Imperial College London.
Nope, that fancy vaccine won’t free your face, so stop thinking your kids will be released from face diapers anytime soon.
And if you are worried about any unintended consequences of ubiquitous mask wearing, well, how were those terrorist-coddlers dealt with 20 years ago?
The masks and the plexiglass are here to stay, just like various forms of lockdown. That’s what happens when you allow sociopaths to change the meaning of words.
Or maybe you still think “herd immunity” is achieved when infections in a given population reach a certain point? Thanks to the evolving definition from the WHO, that is no longer the case, and this article wants to make sure you understand these changes WERE NOT MADE IN SECRET. From the link:
The screenshots from the WHO’s website are real. The first herd immunity definition is from the June 9 version of the COVID-19 serology Q&A page. The second definition is from the November 13 version of the same page. There has actually been a recent update to the webpage since these claims began circulating that made further changes, and that update is from December 31.
You can see that the June 9 version had a one-paragraph definition for herd immunity that said it is the “indirect protection from an infectious disease that happens when a population is immune either through vaccination or immunity developed through previous infection.”
The Nov. 13 version, however, focused entirely on vaccination and said “’herd immunity’, also known as ‘population immunity’, is a concept used for vaccination, in which a population can be protected from a certain virus if a threshold of vaccination is reached.”
The mask mandate today will become the vaccine mandate tomorrow, and that will mean my kids will NOT BE in public school because they are NEVER going to take an experimental gene therapy that skipped animal trials and is only called a vaccine in order to protect Big Pharma from litigation.
I know I’m not the only parent who feels this way. If you’re one of those parents, it’s time to start thinking about alternatives to public school.
