Should we all still be required to wear a mask?

When Mask-Wearing Rules in the 1918 Pandemic Faced Resistance | HISTORY
The influenza pandemic of 1918 and 1919 was the most deadly flu outbreak in history, killing up to 50 million people worldwide. In the United States, where it ultimately killed around 675,000 people, local governments rolled out initiatives to try to stop its spread. These varied by region, and included closing schools and places of public amusement, enforcing "no-spitting" ordinances, encouraging people to use handkerchiefs or disposable tissues and requiring people to wear masks in public.

What relevance does a mask mandate have to this discussion? I never wore a mask anywhere during COVID, and never will. The people that wore masks were nothing more than Biden sheeple. Scientific evidence now shows that masks didn't slow down the spread of COVID, dumbest thing ever, it was nothing more than a power push to see what percentage of the population would blindly listen to the federal government.

Thomas Hobbes (view profile) | Posted 6:41 am, 05/24/2024 | I routinely entered many places without a mask. I was stopped and asked to put it on a few times but I didn't. Oddly enough the only place I was denied entry too was a specialty beer store. So I just went to a different one.

Maybe if you say it a few more times someone will think it's funny? At least I won't report your joke recycling to the cops.

Flu season is only months away.
Antithesis, when do you think a new mask mandate should start?

Anti why to you insist on repeating misinformation, when it has been debunked over and over?
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is presenting a distorted account of President Donald Trump's words on the coronavirus, wrongly suggesting Trump branded the virus a hoax.
In fact, Trump pronounced Democratic criticism of his pandemic response a hoax.
https://apnews.com/article/...7c34549da2
One of my people came up to me and said, 'Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.' That didn't work out too well. They couldn't do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was not a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They'd been doing it since you got in. It's all turning. They lost. It's all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax."
Our reading of these comments is that Trump is saying Democratic criticism of him is a hoax, not that the coronavirus doesn't exist or wasn't real.

No one wore a n95 mask.
Doctors and nurses did... But if you read my link, you would have seen that if both parties were wearing even the cheap cloth masks then the odds of transmission were near 0%.
Do you not think that millions refused to mask up? In your uneducated opinion. I'm not asking you for a link Did millions refuse to wear a mask or did 95% of the country mask up all the time?
I'm sure that there were millions that wanted to refuse to wear a mask after that. But when I went to the grocery store or something, I can't think of any time that I ever saw someone without a mask... probably because they just wanted groceries and didn't want to start a political fight with a stranger.
But I know that virtually no one that worked at Tyson bothered to wear a mask, which is part of why they had such a high number of infections.
WFUBMC had an armed guard enforcing their mask requirement at their main campus.
She definitely wasn't armed!
They do have a security guard (also not armed), maybe you were there when he was just chatting with the girls?

So nothing you encountered. Just hearsay. Got it.
Hospitals have routinely had mask or limits on visitors for the mere flu, why not whine then?

I do not know of any pharmacies that allowed the unmasked to enter.
Several schools of "higher" learning enforced mask wearing on their campuses.

Will you wear a mask forever?
Probably.
