“Do something” is not science, and it shouldn’t have been public policy.

I'll make what may be a surprising prediction and say that this announcement will have little effect on the normie populace. If you bring it up with some NPC, the best you can hope to get will be something like, "Yeah, well, they didn't know that at the time. We had to protect each other as best we could. A-hole."

The reason is that normies get their cues on how to feel about things from the mainstream. They aren't told how to feel about this in the article, so they won't feel anything in regard to it.

I think we all know that if Bret Stephens came on The View to say that Trump and his mask mandates had wrecked the economy and started the war in Ukraine, and it purposely fell hard on PoC's, the normies would be all kinds of fired up.

Mask mandates were never about science. It was about physiological manipulation and driving fear into the general public. It was the visual symbol of the pandemic. Both the WHO and Fauci said in early 2020 that masks were pointless and no one should be wearing them. They knew. The science on masks had been looked at for 30+ years. Nothing has changed. Only the politics changed. But normies were convinced thanks to the media that strapping any random piece of dirty cloth to your face would block muh droplets. It's soooo obvious. Facepalm.

random piece of dirty cloth

This was the funniest part to me, seeing what people put on their faces, and wondering how they weren't sick.

At my workplace, they said we should be reusing masks for up to 3 days. So, the masks sat gathering dust and other contaminants in a locker, cat seat, or - even the most ridiculous thing I've seen - hanging on the rear view mirror. People expected not to get sick, whether from CoViD or otherwise. That mask you were wearing while working on machinery yesterday? Sure, reuse it! Nah... that respiratory tract irritation has nothing to do with it!

Improperly used masks become fomites.

Right, you hit on the real subject for those interested in how the world really works: the psychological manipulation of the masses. You can back up yet another another level, and observe how tiny a number of people recognize this, let alone proceeding to a discussion of what to do about it.

The Dark Occultists that run the world study one thing above all others: how the human mind actually works. You'll also notice that none of the prominent occultists nor any of the ignoramuses that study them ever talk about this. That's real occultism.

Wow. JEW YORK TIMES admits this? Bret Stephens, their shill boy, of all people?

Honestly, I didn't expect them to ever admit it. I thought they were going to keep paying shills to run junk bullshit studies claiming masks work.

Saw this article this morning, was going to post it myself.

Let it be for the record the Times was one of those who proclaimed "follow the mandates for everyone's good."

I'm seriously thinking of establishing a Hall of Shame for such outlets.

The lesson to be learned: the synchronized talking heads on TV, celebrities, late night hosts, sports players, and politicians are enemies of The People. 🤷

Neither. It's an opinion. I don't have to take a stance on it.

How about yourself and are you able to rationalize your agreement or disagreement?
