I had to stop bursting out in laughter when I saw a guy wearing an upside down full face snorkle mask with the snorkle buried under his coat.

93 Year-Old Holocaust Survivor on Masks: "there is a hypocrisy in the public narrative"
March 29, 2021

[scene is of protestors many carrying with signs: NO MASKS ON KIDS; IT'S CHILD ABUSE; FREEDOM PROTEST]

WOMAN'S VOICE: Guys, we have a 93 year old Holocaust survivor. [passes microphone]

OLDER WOMAN IN BLUE SCARF [taking microphone]: Thank you very much. I am in fact a survivor of the Holocaust. And the first thing I have to tell you, that even then nobody told us it was done for our own good. We all knew what was happening. And when I think today, when I see people masked, I think of the yellow star, which gave everybody liberty to aggress me, to insult me, to call me a carrier of disease.

WOMAN'S VOICE: Oh my love.

OLDER WOMAN IN BLUE SCARF: To spit on me even.

WOMAN'S VOICE: I love you!

OLDER WOMAN IN BLUE SCARF: I would like to tell you that this is worse. This is more insidious, it concerns more people. It is, it is, there is a hypocrisy in the public narrative that is absolutely unbearable, to say that we're doing this to protect the old. I would love to die in a state that gives me freedom than this.

[cheers, applause, horn blowing]

I have already outstayed my welcome by many years and my life expectancy is probably not great. But I would gladly exchange it for the lives and livelihood and happiness of generations that come after me, to live their lives as I have been.

[clapping]
MAN'S VOICE: Thank you!

OLDER WOMAN IN BLUE SCARF: To have masks, to see people defile their children with masks, is something totally unbearable to me.

Merianne Jensen: “If masks work, then why don’t they work?” - Prince William County School Board Mtg [February 2, 2022]

MERIANNE JENSEN: My name is Merianne Jensen and my address is on file. I know there are many educators who want to protect children. This goal is not different from my own. Our implementation preferences may differ, but we want the same thing, to get through covid without harm. Unfortunately, politics leads us to believe there is only one solution, masks.

Yet thousands of schools around the country have been open during the entire pandemic without masks, and no corresponding rise in serious illness. There were not child coffins lined up as some educators in this county suggested would be the case.

In fact things have been going pretty much as normal. Kids are getting sick despite wearing masks. We are forcing healthy children home for [makes air-quotes with fingers] exposure, despite them wearing masks. And we are segregating children by vaccination status and religious exemption status—

WOMAN'S VOICE: [unintelligible]

MERIANNE JENSEN: — despite the wearing of masks. So I ask you, if masks work, why don't they?

[applause and cheering]

I'd now like to cover the facts, not policy as determined by the White House, not CDC recommendations, which I remind you is still policy, policy I might add that changes by the day without any basis in science at all.

So here are the facts that are available to any one of you.

Over the course of the pandemic 49,000 children have died of all causes, 331 of those were covid-related, yet we have turned kids lives upside down at school for what is essentially a non-risk.

Let's put that risk into context. Last year fewer kids died of covid-19 than have heart disease, cancerous tumors, suicide, homicide, and drownings. Have the protocols, have the schools stopped serving hamburgers and french fries? Have we put up tin foil on the ceilings to block power lines? Do we even address the growing incidences of suicide during the pandemic? No! We play politics with kids faces by placing restrictive fabric over their noses and mouths that the CDC itself has said don't do anything and it's for their safety.

This is asinine. This is blatant political theater and it needs to end.

[applause and cheering]

Finally, regarding that, and I need to point something out that has been bothering me. On November 15th of last year I had the privilege of speaking with Dr McDade[1] for 10 minutes following the CRT town hall meeting. During that discussion which was friendly and cordial, I asked what she, as superintendent could do to get the kids out of masks. Dr. McDade told me that she would if she could, but that her hands were tied by then Governor Northam's executive order mandating face coverings.

[loud groaning from audience]

And if it weren't for that, things would be different. Well, tonight things are different.

[applause and cheering]

But I'd like to ask you Dr McDade tonight, what has changed? And what do you plan on doing now that your hands are untied? I'm in fact, I'm asking all of you to step up the way other leaders who have, and are ending covid restrictions by the day. What [hits podium with fist], when [hits podium with fist], will you, what [hits podium with fist], will it take?

You are on the losing side of history and it's time to make that right before these children now.

[applause and cheering]

CDC Upset Their Own Expert Advisers Not Recommending Masks, Demands They Recommend Masks

Too much science is forcing CDC to request a science do over after CDC’s own scientist and outside experts find N95 respirators don’t work better than masks—and neither do much to protect from COVID.

It is hardly surprising but no less distressing to read the news from Taiwan where, like other parts of the Far East they took to masks mandates with enthusiasm, that an 11-month old boy has died after being forced to wear a face mask at nursery. The incident took place on January 24, despite the fact that mask mandates related to childcare in Taiwan were lifted over a year ago.

The details are harrowing but nevertheless instructive, showing just how effective brainwashing regarding face masks has been:

‘According to surveillance video footage viewed by the parents, the incident happened when the boy became irritated and took off his mask, after which the teacher put it back on for him. At that point, the child burst out crying, which possibly saturated the mask with tears and mucus, causing it to stick to his nose and mouth and suffocate him. In the video footage, the child was then seen “struggling” and “falling over”. The teacher, however, apparently assumed he had become exhausted and fallen asleep, and only discovered that he was unresponsive 20 minutes later, when it was time to move the children to another room.’

It has since been confirmed that the child did not have any cardiac defects which could have exacerbated his condition. He died as a direct result of having been forced to wear a face mask. Any child’s death under these circumstances would be heartbreaking but, in addition to this almost unimaginable incident, there is the back story of the parents’ struggle for many years to have a baby.

In addition to the tragedy, two things are striking from this story: the absence of any mention of the death in the international legacy media (I could find no reference to it other than in Taiwanese newspapers); and the outrage which seems to be aimed only at the fact that this incident exceeded the expired mask mandate.

The veil of silence by the press outside Taiwan is hardly surprising given the role that they played in promoting the wearing of face masks. In the United Kingdom the Guardian said that the government should promote the wearing of face masks ‘more forcefully’. The New York Times recently tried to discredit Jefferson and colleagues’ Cochrane review showing no evidence for the effectiveness of face masks claiming, ‘Why the Science Is Clear That Masks Work’.

These were my observations when entering the overflow covid unit at the hospital (2021) after the shots began. Everyone at the nurses’ station was coughing and sneezing, and masks were hanging. The nurses had taken the shots and were sick in addition to vaccine shedding exposure. Everyone responded with respiratory, flu-like symptoms. The masks protected no one.

Surgical masks have gaping holes around the sides of the face where airborne germs enter and exit. They do not stop the spread of highly infectious airborne pathogens. We were told by management, they like how they looked.

There is an effective mask called an N-95 that requires professional fitting. This masks in conjunction with a negative pressure room, can protect against disease transmission. These rooms are reserved for Tb patients for example.

The N-95 can only be worn for short periods of time when properly used, because breathing is greatly hindered.

There are also germs that live within the healthcare setting called nosocomial infections. Listed above are a few. Natural immunity is what keeps us healthy and hand washing remains the number one way to reduce disease transmission.

Just like ALL the other measures (lockdowns, social distancing, face shields, plastic eyewear, closing schools/businesses and “the shots”), masks did NOT stop disease transmission.

Despite authority endorsement for appearance and false security, surgical masks don’t stop the spread of anything..
