I was talking with a nurse the other day. In her clinic–and indeed every medical environment I have personally visited in the past few months–masks are still required. I asked her if they might be permanent, and she said “I’m afraid they may be.”
Thomas Sowell famously said:
“The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.”
Here is the thing: this nurse has had four upper sinus infections this year already, something she said was “absolutely” because of the masks.
Here is my point: mask wearing is not only pointless–we know from multiple studies they make no difference not just for COVID but for any airborne respiratory viruses–but also HAS COSTS OF ITS OWN.
Increased rates of respiratory and sinus infections are just one cost. Another is that many of these healthcare workers are going to get emotionally sick of wearing these ridiculous mouth diapers and simply quit and do something else, at a time when we are already short of workers in many places. Those who don’t will be at increased risk of depression. We all need to see faces. It’s hardwired.
And we KNOW that masks are kids are bad for many reasons. They are causing all sorts of developmental delays and traumas, some of which may not be correctable. Kids need to see mouths to learn to speak and read, and they need to see faces to learn basic emotional cues and for most intents and purposes how to be social humans.
Etc. Sweden never imposed masks, most Swedes did not wear them, and they finished with COVID a good six months before us, with a lower death rate than all but about 5 States, and certainly lower than California, New York, and other similarly ridiculous places.
But the fix is in, right? The cronies and authoritarians WANT mass compliance, because masks amount to badges of supine compliance to irrational authority, and act as security blankets to people no longer able to suck their thumbs in public.
Here is my proposal: unionization and class action lawsuits. I don’t know how many healthcare workers are unionized, but this is a case where they categorically need collective bargaining.
And here is the thing: masks are OSHA regulated. They are a form of PPE, and as such come with a raft of regulations. During the “pandemic” (I’m not even sure there was ever anything serious going on after the first real wave) masks were reclassified, I think by the CDC, as “Community Protective Equipment”. This was always obvious bullshit, but now that even the pretense of an emergency is over, that classification needs to be litigated and relegated to a trash heap. If you are asking people working for you to wear the fucking things, then you need to follow the fucking rules. You need to justify the need for them, and that simply cannot be done.
So I think groups of nurses and doctors and administrative folks need to get together and file a class action lawsuit against the CDC, NIH, their hospital administrators and others for REAL DAMAGES.
This nurse should be able to sue for all her sinus infections. Parents of children with developmental delays should be able to sue the idiots who mandated masks for their kids. And everyone harmed by a mandated vaccination should be able to sue the people who made them take it. Vaccine injury is very certainly a workplace injury and very much OSHA reportable (even though, like all our other corrupted agencies, OSHA is not collecting data on these injuries, obviously to protect the guilty).
And even Pfizer and Moderna and others are most likely liable for vaccine injuries because THEY FAKED MUCH OF THE DATA, or at least that is what appears to be the case. They lose their liability immunity if they engaged in fraud. The FDA, which approved these things, also needs to be sued.
In all of this is enough work to keep an army of lawyers busy for years.
There is every reason to think all of this will be successful. The fucking bullshit needs to stop, and the veil needs to be torn off, to reveal the rot underlying it all. The stink is obvious. Let’s start looking at the sources.
