The point for me is this: the virus that exists in the media does not exist in nature. I'm not prepared to dismiss the existence of the Corona virus family, or even the claim that a novel class was discovered late last year. What I reject is our response to it, conditionally on the basis that this virus objectively presents less of a threat than the 2008 Sars virus. The issue with forcing everyone to wear cloth masks is not the Covid-19 virus, itself. It's that this is a layer of fabric that grows warm and moist and could easily serve as a vector for other forms of infectious agents to thrive, say, bacterial. Every breath you exhale naturally is full of bacterial and viral particles. Most people are wearing these masks long enough to get them wet and warm with their breath and to coat them with other possible infectious agents. They take the mask off for the period of a drive, and put it right back on. I really think these masks, going into the next cold-flu season, are meant to exacerbate the spread of the naturally occurring colds and flus that we see each year. The difference is, obviously, that with the Covid-19 virtual reality bombarding us from the televisions, any respiratory illness today is treated as though it is Covid-19. It's turned a category that we were all very used to into something to fear. If the masks can increase the incidence of the cold and flu season, the confusion added by wondering what is Covid-19 or not is enough to perpetuate the Covid-19 propaganda cycle for months and months longer. They give you the artificial "key" to your safety, which is actually the very thing that's going to keep the propaganda machine rolling. I think you can expect that later in this fall season, rates of cold and flu are going to be higher than normal, and every television in the country is going to be saying it is Covid, that we didn't listen to the warnings, we didn't distance enough and hunker down, that this is our fault. And in reality, it will be the yearly cold and it will be because we wore their fucking masks all day long.
