Folks:
The democrat controlled public health department experts in North Carolina are still pushing and fear mongering the wear a mask or get vaxxed agenda. The research from early 1900’s through present does not support either choice as stopping a virus spread. NC’s Covid statistics are better or equal to all adjacent states. Remember the mortality figure are extremely inflated due to CDC’s liberal guidance to states on death certificates. Deaths are attributed to victims who die with Covid, not from, and the PCR tests are inaccurate in many cases (i.e, the victim may have died from another disease and PCR test was false positive due to lab Ct rate.) If CDC guidelines are used you may get a PCR test, develop a cough, die the next day and the PCR test reports later "Not Detected."
Deaths/Million Rate
Source: https://www.worldometers.info/
GA 1953 0.20
SC 1886 0.19
VA 1307 0.13
TN 1817 0.18
NC 1245 0.12
Oh, the vaccines may reduce your symptom severity; but, it does not stop you from infection in all cases. Some individuals getting vaxxed are still being infected and some are experiencing side effects. How about the most effective choice to stop spread is if you are young, middle aged healthy, older healthy or basically free of any medical conditions-leave me alone and allow me to live my life free of tyrants from CDC, WHO, NIH, governor’s offices, Whitehouse, Congress, etc. all who have political and financial agendas to keep the panic button pushed.
As for the mask, there are studies upon studies that refute all masks of any type as being effective to stop virus spread. The only mask types that would stop you from infection are professional grade gas masks such as Mk V USN gas masks, PD-100 Full Face Respirator Gas Mask with Organic Vapor and Particulate Filtration, professional military-grade respirators, designed for use with optics, an Oxygen Breathing Apparatus, or OBA, or Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), also known as scuba equipment for underwater applications.
Bureaucratic unconstitutional emergency orders are a bunch of baloney. COVID is real all right, but the danger from it was and is vastly inflated. Consider the following:
“Contrary to what the public health experts have been telling us for more than a year, there is no correlation between the strength of a state’s lockdown measures and total covid-19 deaths.” In fact, notorious lockdown states such as New York and New Jersey have some of the worst mortality numbers to date.” (Source)

Lockdowns save lives along with wearing masks we were told, except that is completely untrue, and the powers that be continue to push this false narrative. Never forget, this is about conditioning, so that when the move comes to make America a part of the globalist world nation, it will be accepted without question by most, the Sheeple.
How does one come to the conclusion that a mask helps anything at all? Simple, we were lied to. The following is from an article written by a publisher back in October 2020 –
CDC: Says No Mask Needed, Then it Was Wear a Mask – Now Masks Are Seen as Ineffective
‘Most viruses vary in diameter from 20 nanometres (nm; 0.0000008 inch) to 250–400 nm; the largest, however, measure about 500 nm in diameter and are about 700–1,000 nm in length.’ (Source)( https://www.britannica.com/
Let’s put that into proper perspective shall we?
1,000 nm equals 0.0000393701 inches. Keep in mind that number is the size of the largest virus. To further elucidate this check out the following set of numbers:
1/32″ of an inch is 0.0313 in decimal form. Way larger than the largest virus. It is also a very reasonable measure of space between a face mask and your face.
1/32″ of an inch in nanometres (nm) = 795,020.
So, 1/32″ is over 794,000 times LARGER than the largest virus.
Any questions on why face masks don’t work?”
It’s mostly theater and virtue signaling, especially now that COVID numbers continue to decline. Between vaccinations and natural infections, America has most likely reached herd immunity.
But masks are more than harmless theatrics of celebrities wearing their ribbons. Masks carry their own medical risks and these ever-changing mandates, supplemented with daily doses of fear porn from cable news, have created a fearful and more compliant population. Was that the intention all along?
It’s also public knowledge that none of the masks people are still wearing, are designed to or capable of stopping the spread of any virus. It’s public knowledge that between 2003-2005, SARS1 was eradicated by Hydroxychloroquine…and that the U.S. Federal Government prevented the medical community from using that same drug to fight COVID19, aka SARS2.
Still, more than a year later, most Americans are still stumbling through the world with their useless masks on, taking shots with no idea what’s in them, or what the long term effects will be, many having lost their businesses and jobs as well as family members, all out of fear of catching a common cold with a 99.7% survival rate.”
Additionally, there are HUGE financial incentives for federal and state bureaucrats to list more cases and deaths. North Carolina, for instance, receives from various federal Covid relief bills $252,000 for each Covid case diagnosed -regardless of the case outcome!
Select this link for your state’s financial status:
CDC’s original budget for 2020 was $8 billion but due to Covid-19 cases their budget ballooned to $46 billion. There is plenty of financial incentive for certain governors and federal agencies like Governor Roy Cooper (NC-D) to drag out the virus indefinitely while NC’s children and small businesses are sacrificed in name of public health, or more correctly political health.
Is anyone confused? I sure am. The “Three Maskateers,” Fauci, Biden, and Pelosi, can’t seem to get their lines straight in the mask movie. Dementia Joe has an excuse for flubbing his lines, something he does whenever he opens his mouth, but what about the other two?
Joe wears his unnecessary mask on a Zoom call with foreign leaders, the only one doing so, but when he needs to be wearing a mask, he can’t find it in his pocket.
Nancy recently attended a crowded White House ceremony without wearing a mask while at the same time threatening to fine House members, likely all of whom have been vaccinated, for choosing not to wear a mask.
We all remember Tony sitting in the bleachers at a baseball game, maskless and not socially distancing, last July during the height of the pandemic, despite his proclamations to do the opposite.

Masks, Theater, and the New Awareness Ribbons
Awareness ribbons are popular fashion accessories among the elite, particularly Hollywood celebrities. They are meant to show support or raise awareness for a particular cause.
These ribbons are not a modern invention for they date back to the Middle Ages in Europe and the English Civil War. A yellow ribbon showed support for a family member abroad in military service as early as World War One. Tony Orlando had a number one hit tying “a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree”.
At last count, over 1000 causes are represented by 65 different colors and combinations, identifying myriad chronic diseases, addictions, and disabilities. While these are all worthy causes, the ribbons are a form of virtue signaling, a way of showing others how much you care, that you are a good person or morally superior to those who don’t wear such a ribbon.
There are plenty of good and moral people who simply live their lives, helping others, supporting favorite causes, without the need for public recognition or an ego massage. Indeed, that’s most Americans.
Awareness ribbons are so yesterday. Today it’s the mask that demonstrates caring, scientific acumen, and virtue. It also represents the political left. Forget driving around with a Biden/Harris bumper sticker on your car. Just wear a mask while driving alone and everyone will know who you voted for.
Masks have become medical theater, pomp and circumstance not to prevent an infectious disease but, instead, a form of virtue signaling with the added, more sinister motive of creating fear, leading to submission and control.
Senator Rand Paul, in a Senate hearing this past March, accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of being a thespian, playing theater with the American public.
“You’re telling everybody to wear a mask, whether they’ve had an infection or a vaccine,” Paul said to Fauci. “If people that have had the vaccine or have had the infection ... if we’re not spreading the infection, isn’t it just theater?” Paul asked.
The thespian, formerly known as the basketball player, was indignant.
“Here we go again with the theater. Let’s get down to the facts,” Fauci replied. “Let me just state for the record that masks are not theater. Masks are protective.”
That was in March. April was the intermission. In May, the thespian returned for the second act, revealing the plotline for his show, that masks were indeed theater.
I didn’t want to look like I was giving mixed signals but being a fully vaccinated person, the chances of my getting infected in an indoor setting is extremely low.
So, Dr. Fauci’s initial remarks were a charade, virtue signaling to divide Americans along battle lines of mask or no mask, obedient citizens versus insurrectionists, all to support the political agenda of him and his overlords.
Last year was more theater, beginning with Dr. Fauci’s recommendation,
There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.
A year later that movie ended with Dr. Fauci’s closing line, “So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective.”
It was nothing as memorable as the final line from Casablanca; instead, more like, “Joe and Kamala, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful con.” From no masks to two masks.
In just over a year, we’ve gone from none to two back to one mask. Now the CDC, playing the movie’s McGuffin, says ditch the masks, “Fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing.”
Is anyone confused? I sure am. The “Three Maskateers,” Fauci, Biden, and Pelosi, can’t seem to get their lines straight in the mask movie. Dementia Joe has an excuse for flubbing his lines, something he does whenever he opens his mouth, but what about the other two?
Joe wears his unnecessary mask on a Zoom call with foreign leaders, the only one doing so, but when he needs to be wearing a mask, he can’t find it in his pocket.

On camera, on script, with a mask. Off camera, off script, forget the mask. What a show! And that’s all it seems to be, a show of caring and superiority, the awareness ribbon replacement.
Liberal activist David Hogg acknowledges his sole reason for masking up, to signal his left-wing virtue.
I feel the need to continue wearing my mask outside even though I’m fully vaccinated because the inconvenience of having to wear a mask is more than worth it to have people not think I’m a conservative.
It’s mostly theater and virtue signaling, especially now that COVID numbers continue to decline. Between vaccinations and natural infections, America has most likely reached herd immunity.
But masks are more than harmless theatrics of celebrities wearing their ribbons. Masks carry their own medical risks and these ever-changing mandates, supplemented with daily doses of fear porn from cable news, have created a fearful and more compliant population. Was that the intention all along?
