The Utter Orwellian Stupidity Of Masks On Airplanes

Authored by Jeffrey Barke, M.D., via AmericanThinker.com,

I recently traveled across the country to Hillsdale, Michigan.  My wife and I sat for five hours each way on airplanes with a mesh mask pressed across our faces.  It made the absurdity of the mask mandate we live under both clear and depressing.  The charade in which we are all forced to participate is not only totalitarian in nature, but also a big Orwellian lie.

I am sure most of the passengers on the planes were either COVID-19-vaccinated or COVID-19-recovered While few speak about the thousands of people who have had COVID-19 and survived, they are turning out to be an important group in the ongoing battle against the virus.  I myself am COVID-recovered after a bout with the disease a couple of months ago.  I now have natural immunity to the disease.

Forcing someone like me to wear a mask makes no scientific or health sense.  There are no studies to show that mask-wearing on an airplane can stop a respiratory viral illness.  If that were the case, we would expect pilots always to wear masks while in the cockpit.  But they don’t.  Maybe the recirculated air on airplanes keeps them safe from onboard viruses.  Furthermore, if mask-wearing on an airplane were critical to preventing the spread of the disease, why are we allowed to remove our masks for extended periods of time while eating and drinking?  I wish someone would pose that specific question to Dr. Fauci.

The requirement to wear a mask when entering or exiting a restaurant, but leaving it off while eating and drinking, also makes absolutely no sense.  Do the authorities suppose that the COVID-19 virus stops seeking new hosts to infect only when we are unmasked but not eating or drinking?  Do these bureaucratic geniuses really believe that the virus plays fair, observing equivalent rules to those invented by the Marquess of Queensberry for boxing?  I think the COVID-19 virus is more likely to play by Fight Club rules!

The CDC recently acknowledged that it does not have any data showing that naturally immune COVID-recovered people can get and spread the disease to others.  Despite this, the CDC discriminates against these people by insisting that they be fully vaccinated in addition to wearing a mask to function in society.

Since the CDC is requiring these measures, you would think it would have a mountain of evidence to support such a draconian policy.  It doesn’t.  The science, in fact, shows just the opposite It shows that natural immunity is strong, durable, and broad-based.  Strong means that natural immunity protects against a COVID infection better than immunity produced by a vaccine.  It is why we do not see COVID-recovered patients getting COVID again.

While it is common to see COVID-vaccinated people getting COVID and even requiring hospitalization, COVID-recovereds stay healthy.  Multiple studies have confirmed that SARS-CoV-2 behaves much like SARS-CoV-1 as well as many other viral illnesses such as chickenpox, measles, mumps, rubella, etc.  That is, these diseases provide long-lasting immunity to those who have been infected.

I had chickenpox as a child.  I got it because my mom walked my brother and me down the street to a neighbor’s house where the kid who lived there had the illness.  Our dad, a physician, wanted to have us exposed and to deal with the disease under controlled conditions and when it is mild.  This was circa 1970, prior to a chickenpox vaccination being available.

Many scientists expect SARS-CoV-2 — the virus that causes COVID-19 — to behave similarly.  COVID-recovered patients appear to be immune to all SARS-CoV-2 variants, including the delta variant.  This broad immunity occurs because those who contract COVID-19 have exposure to the entire virus.  This is in major contrast to the vaccine, which creates immunity to just the spike protein of the virus, thus limiting the immunity and making it much easier for the virus to break through the vaccine-induced immunity.

There is an expression that says, “We get what we tolerate.”  Over the past 21 months, we have tolerated assaults on our liberties that we would never have accepted before COVID-19.  We have allowed unelected health care bureaucrats to cover their rear ends against any possible outcome from the disease — no matter how unlikely.  We have allowed a complicit media establishment to knowingly sell every possible danger from the virus to a fearful public.  We should all be embarrassed by the hoax they have perpetuated and we have absorbed.

I would normally think strong men would step up and say no — the same ones who fight wars, protect our streets, and battle bullies in the schoolyard.  But they were emasculated early on by the “experts.”  Now, however, the mama bears have become involved as the bureaucrats, politicians, and supportive media try to force children as young as five to get an investigational vaccine against a virus that poses little risk to their age group.

Ah, but don’t ever underestimate mama bears and the protective nature of their maternal instincts.  They may yet be the force to stop the current madness and then join the larger battle for the future of America.

This so-called doctor will never understand how much he’s been lied to his whole life. This whole article is a load of bull, just so many from “healthcare professionals.”

They are too far gone, heavily indoctrinated, will never recover from the germ theory lies they chugged down while at medical school. Viruses are not pathogenic. They don’t cause disease. Medical theory is about to be rewritten and all these “experts” will look like the biggest fools in history.

AMA indoctrination seems even more difficult to overcome than giving up voting for lesser evils. Like Carlin said, if it mattered they wouldn’t let us do it. The myth of the virus is holy to the virologists and only a brave few dare to challenge them lest the questioner be branded anti-scientific.

Well, if the virus exists, they spread that, too. Possibly moreso than the unvaxxed, if we are to put any credence in the idea that the vax lessens symptoms or in the idea of asymptomatic spread; then the jabbed are the ones doing the asymptomatic spreading.

Please tell me what I had two weeks ago if the magic flu doesnt exist. It’s unlike anything I’ve experienced, ever. I am by no means an expert on the virus.

I agree, the jabbed are spreading a variation of the virus that has the spike protein. THAT is what the jab is intended to do.

I believe the pre-jab virus, don’t know what else to call it, is different than the virus that comes from the jabbed. I don’t know how it is different since I avoided the pre-jab virus.

I know 100% I got the virus from a jabbed asshole that wouldn’t stay home.

How do you know that your poor health was caused by… “a virus?”

Especially when viral contagion has never been scientifically proven.

And we know for a fact hat the PCR test is bunk and doesn’t prove the existence of a viral genome.

How is it that I’ve never “contracted” the coof virus in two years having been in close proximity to covid wards in hospitals and general heavily populated areas while not wearing a hazmat suit or a slave muzzle?

Why, in a whole year, have I not become seriously ill through shedding contagion when hugging all the jabbed people in my locality as an unjabbed individual?

Am I superhuman? Immune to all “transmissable” disease?

Or is the official story a load of bullcrap.

“Masks Don’t Work”article by Dennis G Rancourt PhD on http://www.rcreader.com

Very inconvenient indeed, Doc.

It is going to take too damn long to drive from my crib to the sunshine and warmer temps
when my tolerance for the northern temps are well below freezing, the skies and city slush are gray; the days short.

And now that we’ve had numerous donnybrooks inside the tubular sardine cans that go 500 mph through our
chem-trailed skies at 30 thousand feet,
the stewards and stewardesses are refusing to take any jive from aggrieved parties.

“Put your damn mask up over your nose, there skippy, or I’ll have a LEO throw a pair of linked bracelets on
your grubby meathooks as soon as we disembark at our destination. Ya follow?”

“But I had to use the vomit bag, Stewy, cuz the professional pilots took vacation from the mandate.
Now, I’m not sure who’s at the controls of this rig, but he’s got her bouncing my ass around as if I’m
on a tri-hull Cigarette, screaming across 8 ft. waves of the south Atlantic in pre-hurricane seas, like drug runners muling a cargo-hold of smack up from Columbia pronto. WTF?”

“That don’t confront me, Sir. Swallow your last peanut on us, and strap your face diaper back on, or else.”

sigh…

Pass the horse paste, honey.
I’m starting to get congested
after a weak attempt to humorously make light of an aggravating sichee aye shun.

chem-trailed skies at 30 thousand feet,

No. Chem trails would not be effective at such altitude. That’s why they have to be sprayed very low. If they sprayed them in the aptly-named jet stream, the chemicals would disperse too quickly.

I know this from dusting crops.

Phony article, and phony doctor. He refers to Covid and ALL its variants. How do we test for variants???? OH, with the phony discredited PCR test. There is NO TEST for Covid period!!!! It was NEVER isolated, and no one has a sample. The “PCR test” doubles the small DNA strand by forty times. This results in a little over 1 Trillion copies and the only thing it proves is that the test only gives false positive results. F—u–c-k you.1

Yea buddy…I can say this from personal experience the PCR test is complete and total bullshit on top of a pile of stinking festering Luciferian lies, cons, propaganda, brainwashing, international evil, and all happening through their ‘Long March’ of generational dumbing down cultural war victories (and other wins)…followed by a bio weapon demonic needle…if you fail the Ice-9 aptly named… ‘Injection IQ test’.

Get jabbed and die soon or sooner rather than later…and oh yea take your kids into the front of the death/stroke/clot shot/infertility line.

Maggie is right…invest in Millstones…there are going to a countless number needed…for deceived parents.

Many idiots are not going to walk away from this blameless…just because they are stupid and deceived.

It all sickens me.

“Make it count.“

Absolutely. I personally would throw a massive fit if I were being harassed to play the game. I don’t live in the Middle East. I’m not covering my face. Not getting tested either.

Turned down a family trip to Europe in January. I know I will cause tension in my family and they won’t have fun. They don’t understand why I can’t get past it and just enjoy the trip. I don’t understand how they can ignore the madness. They care a lot about still being able to go on vacations. We have different priorities.

Not having to see certain in laws, probably for the rest of their lives, is the only silver lining I see coming out of all this. That it is entirely their choice relieves me of any burden of guilt.
