There is a reason why “masks” are still a common sight outside of the surgical suite – and insane asylums. It is because the lies that fomented the mass hysteria that led to “masking” – which was offered up as a kind of universal panacea to ward off the cold that constituted no more threat to most people than . . . a cold – have yet to be officially, formally repudiated.
And on account of this, there are still people who believe them. You can tell who they are by looking at their faces – which you can’t see because they’re still wearing a “mask.” I saw one such at my gym the other day. He appeared to be a guy in his mid-late 30s and appeared to be fit and in good health. Yet he was wearing a “mask” over his face – while working out. This is not unlike trying to pee through your underwear. Most people don’t do that. But some people do try to breathe through what amounts to facial underwear. 
Even while exercising.
You wonder (well, I do) about the state of mind of such people. There were probably 50 others working out at the gym that day and none of them was wearing facial underwear. Did this one guy who was not notice this? It is hard to imagine that he didn’t. And – having noticed that literally no one else in the gym was wearing facial underwear – did it not cross his mind that, perhaps, there is no good reason to be wearing facial underwear?
After all, there is no longer a “mandate” to wear them – and almost no social pressure. The people who are still wearing facial underwear are now in the interesting position the people who refused to wear facial underwear were circa late 2020-2021. They are a lonely minority, with the main difference being they are free to wear their facial underwear wherever they like and no one berates them or excludes them for wearing their facial underwear.
One wonders (I do) whether these people see the incongruity. The contrast between the live-and-let-live attitude of the majority of people who have taken off their facial underwear but are not badgering the ones still wearing facial underwear – and the bellicose attitude (and actions) of those who wore facial underwear toward those who did not.
Probably not.
Probably because these people who are still wearing facial underwear still believe the lies they were told. And want to believe them – because it is not easy to come to grips with having been lied to on the scale that people were lied to during the event that was marketed as a “pandemic,” in order to get them to accept absurdities (per Voltaire).
It is easier to continue to believe – rather than face the truth. 
And how can that truth be faced when it is still very easy for those who do not want to face it to continue to believe the lies they were told, clinging to them with the same kind of psychic desperation that people who want to believe the Orange Man is good – in spite of all the bad – because the liars they trusted (and still do) refuse to tell them the truth?
Has the senile old grifter come out and publicly apologized for telling people not only that they should but that it was morally obligatory (as well as mandatory) to wear facial underwear because doing so would “stop the spread”? Have the – hearty cough – “public health authorities” come out and apologized for the same? Have they acknowledged that they were wrong – and that those who questioned the medical efficacy of forcing people who weren’t sick to wear facial underwear – for what felt like forever – were right? 
For that matter, has the Orange Man admitted his “beautiful vaccines” were in fact mRNA drugs that did nothing to immunize people against the cold they were told threatened to kill them and anyone they came in contact with if they decided to not get (sic) “vaccinated”?
Nope.
So, even though the truth has spread and most people understand they were lied to, there are still lots of people who choose to believe the lies they were told.
You can tell who they are, too. Just take a look at them.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

Yeppers, it was just a cold.
Influenza actually, but Auntie gets your point.
Really, Auntie? The flu vanished that year. PS, I asked in jest.
It was, like they discovered many decades ago about the Spanish Flu, a bacterial pneumonia that caused more than 50% of the problems folks were having.
Years back I read that 10% of our population is mentally deficient. More recently some expert has raised that percentage. I rarely see someone with a mask now but when I do I see them as a lost soul, trying to cope without a full deck at their disposal.
I lived in a small river town for a while. We had a local guy who was mentally disabled. He would sell tickets on the street for local charity auctions and deliver food to disabled seniors. He was a member of the community. Everyone knew him and treated him with respect. He sung in one of the church choirs and someone told me he had a wonderful voice. Kindness goes a long way.
We’re all mentally deficient in our way. Those that mask, may or not be deficient mentally. They certainly are tone deaf to the world. I don’t respond to those in masks, the ridicule of non acknowledgment is powerful.
“We are” I have to disagree, to a degree. We are not all mentally deficient and “ridicule of non acknowledgment” is hardly an upbeat way of going through your day.
For me it is very upbeat😎
I am an old phuq with 82 trips around the sun and counting. I used to have an attitude like yours but eased off over time. I understand where you’re at, having been there. Life is good and enjoy it. Cheers!
I’m not sure I’d equate mental deficiency with mental illness … which seems to be far more widespread — and, indeed, worn like a badge of honor (like the diapers) by a large segment of our society.
Below are two reports which can be found on the web if they haven’t been redacted or removed stating how useless and worthless facemasks are in both medical and nonmedical settings, yet these “experts” claim otherwise.

Is a mask necessary in the operating theatre?

Masks are great ….to identify the most stupid among us. I saw a black lady walking outside, 80 degrees out, mask on her chin, smoking a cigarette!
Lady? Literary license or what? SFN.
During the covid scamdemic, I watched an elderly couple eating in a restaurant with facemasks on. They’d lift them up long enough to put food in their mouths them put them right back down to chew.
When you entered eating establishments in Ohio, masks were mandatory and only upon being seated you were permitted to remove them. If you had to go to the restroom or leave, you were required to put them back on.
Well, I never entered a restaurant In Ohio as I sold my house and moved the hell out!
This time of year am not surprised to see a few masks.some folks just about get killed by pollen that is really kicking into season,otherwise,the mask seems rare in me parts.
pollen is a lie
it might make you short of breath momentarily, that’s it. It’s either weird shit from being gmo glyphosate bubbleboys or hypochondria or masktardation.
Come live around yellow pines and say that.
Yep,I call it bunny dust!
The damn shit gets everywhere for a week or two,do not even want to open homes windows/car becomes a shade of green/yellow no matter it’s original color and you are just begging for rain at that point!
First question I ask some of these diaper wearers: have you worn a diaper your whole life? If not — then why in hell are you wearing one now?
The best thing about the last 4 years is that we now know who is stupid, who is a Karen, who loves to live in fear, who loves to control other people. A college education would never have taught us that much. As for doctors, we now also know who doesn’t read, doesn’t learn, and doesn’t care.
Thank you, Eric. for continuing to explore that wicked instrument of control, humiliation, insult, and submission: the mask.
Evil dokters Falsi and Scarf are still wasting precious air. Why is that?
I don’t berate the ‘tards who still wear the mask, but I don’t speak to them even if they speak to me. I kind of suspect that stupidity is contagious, so I don’t go near them. Acting as though they really exist would be encouraging them, IMO.
I respect people who have the fortitude to do things far outside the mainstream. Sure it’s misguided on the masking, but there’s something authentic in that and enlightening – rather than dangerous – in how rare it is in even the (supposedly) bluest of blue cities/states. It’s a visceral visual of why ‘civil war’ is absurd and the whole uniparty is a farce.
The thing that gets me is about how so many older Americans went along with so much of the don’t question authority mentality when it mattered most. That’s what allowed it to gain momentum to reach absurd levels like vax mandates. A nonpartisan coalition of young people were fighting the man…yet much of Republican don’t tread on me land hung them out to dry.
