I went to Chicago just prior to Christmas to have a doctor look at my knee. I dread visits to the doctor these days not because of the going, it’s the masking. When I went to Mayo in Scottsdale, they made me wear a mask. I didn’t wear mine at Mayo and wasn’t overtly corrected by anyone. At Rush in Chicago, thankfully it was optional.
People who are still wearing masks are psychologically damaged.
They are virtue signaling to the rest of the world how good they are being.
They are proudly wearing their mask just like the MAGA hats you saw after the 2020 election. Covid’s over. The recession is here.
These people are like Chicken Little. Fearful of their shadows.
Wearing a mask is like throwing salt over your shoulder for good luck. It’s like cooking black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day and thinking you will have good fortune the next year.
It’s not that I am triggered by people wearing masks at all. I don’t give a “fuck” as Ben says. As long as you don’t care that I don’t bother wearing one and don’t discriminate against me for not wearing one. That has happened a lot in the last few years as the crazy has swept through society.
There are plenty of stories of police forces around the world abusing people for not wearing masks.
I have seen plenty of footage of people getting kicked out of school board meetings for not being masked.
Kids were sent home from school for not being masked.
There are plenty more instances of anyone with half a brain or the ability to use Freespoke as their search engine to find examples of mask wearers discriminating actively against non-mask wearers.
To me, it’s just a sign that the mask-wearing cultists are dumb. No amount of peer-reviewed scientific data will persuade them otherwise. It’s a cult. Ben ruins his credibility by wearing a mask. Can he objectively look at market data and make an inference that you might follow? Or, is he a fearful schmuck?
I have linked to this article before but if you’d like to see it again, here is the link.
TL;DR:
“Surgical masks were designed to keep medical personnel from inadvertently infecting patients’ wounds, not to prevent the spread of viruses. Public-health officials’ advice in the early days of Covid-19 was consistent with that understanding.”
“In sum, of the 14 RCTs that have tested the effectiveness of masks in preventing the transmission of respiratory viruses, three suggest, but do not provide any statistically significant evidence in intention-to-treat analysis, that masks might be useful. The other eleven suggest that masks are either useless—whether compared with no masks or because they appear not to add to good hand hygiene alone—or actually counterproductive.”
Before you criticize the validity of the studies, I just want to point out that Johns Hopkins is a pretty darn good medical institution. One of the best in the world. So good, it was a part of the ongoing script in the old television show MASH.
Surgeons wear masks in a controlled surgical environment where every single environmental condition is monitored. Instruments, hands, gowns, and floors are all washed or sterile. Hence, masks work in that environment. When you wear a mask in the wild, it doesn’t work……not only that but it doesn’t work indoors, on planes, or outdoors.
We have some ladies that play a round of golf on our course every day here in Vegas. They wear masks. They are outside…….not close to anyone……in their own carts…..they are psychologically damaged people and I feel for them. No data will persuade them to leave the cult of the mask.
I was on the plane home from Chicago to Vegas. The two people sitting next to me had masks. What a conundrum when the drinks and snacks came! They had to drop their masks down to put refreshments into their mouths. So, when you are putting foodstuffs in Covid can’t get in? I don’t understand the science there.
Since Kamela Harris loves Venn Diagrams, I would be willing to bet money that if you drew some Venn Diagrams you’d gain some insights.
Mask wearers and Democrats, if you are wearing a mask today, you voted Democratic in the last two elections for sure, but more probably more.
Mask wearers and people who believe that in the 2016 election Trump utilized the Russians to win have got to have a large overlap. A hint for the Russian conspiracy people; that theory has been disproved and it was spun up by Democratic Party central planning.
People who believe in global warming and do not question any of the models or assertions, along with the solutions and mask-wearing probably have high overlap. Another tip. This latest winter storm wasn’t caused by global warming. It was caused by winter. We have had it for thousands of years in the northern hemisphere this time of year.
What Venn Diagrams would you draw? Leave the answer in the comments.
To show how dumb mask requirements are, look no further than Democratic politicians that are putting in place mask recommendations because we have an outbreak of the flu in the US. Every winter we get a flu outbreak, some worse than others. They are trying to create a crisis to alleviate citizens from recognizing the several real crises that their cities are engaged in right now. They don’t have concerns for you. They have concerns for themselves and they are idiots.
Everyone wants to try and control outcomes. Hard to do with a virus. Any virus, not just Covid. You aren’t “Mr. Fix-It” when you wear a mask. The only “Mr. Fix It” is a vaccine that stops the spread of the virus, and stops you from getting it. Covid certainly isn’t that and natural immunity works far better.
If you double mask or triple mask, you are even dumber. It’s just making your body work harder to get oxygen into the system. If you wear a mask you sewed at home, it’s a virtue-signaling fashion accessory, not a medical device. By the way, surgeons discard their masks frequently, sometimes even during surgery to put a new one on.
Masks won’t work to stop you from getting the flu. It turns out, as data scientists comb through datasets on Covid and vaccine, the people that received the mRNA vaccine might not be “turning on” the right mechanism of antibody to fight respiratory viruses when they attack your system.

for information on this because he is working on a story.My recommendation to psychologically damaged and fearful people is to go out into your backyard or onto your balcony. Take your mask off. Close your eyes and breathe rhythmically like you might during a yoga class. Relax. Now, throw all your masks away. You don’t need them.
It is interesting isn't it? That the Democrat party now aligns itself with Big Government, Big Tech and Big Pharma blows my mind. Wearing masks is a signal; a sign that you are part of The Party. It is also a symptom of a psychoses of fear and mental illness. They need something to comfort them that they are "doing something." This is their way.
This is the same party 40 years ago that burned bras, threw military medals over the White House fence, protested censorship via music and festivals and supported journalism's motto of "Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." They did not trust government, hated Big Business and were at war with the Military Industrial Complex.
They are none of those things now. Now they are authoritarian, humorless scolds who insist that YOU follow every diktat the government utters without question. 100's of billions to Ukraine to kill Russians? No question -- send more, please. Trust Big Pharma to come up with a miracle vaccine in 12 months without real testing or adherence to government protocols? Let's do it! Censor any/all opinions that diverge from a few God-like government bureaucrats' Big Pharma driven messages? "Hey, no, we WILL censor you!" (think Vietnam draft protests)
They collude with Big Tech and Big Media to suppress any opinion they don't like, or that contravenes the government's message.
I'm stunned that none of them see the irony or understand what is happening to them.
Then you have perfectly healthy Gen Z kids frightened of people and wearing masks in their cars. That is who you should truly feel sorry for. It is the epitome of mental illness!
It used to be common sense and explained by every doctor to every patient; we used to giggle and smirk seeing masked Chinese tourists on NY street. You think we finally returned to those blissful times? Not in NY. When your own doctor declares he'll not allow you in for a checkup unless you put on the useless (and actually harmful) muzzle, then inside the exam room orders you to take it off and say A - and the contradiction doesn't even register - you start wondering....
Here's another example - from 1.5m ago visit, at Langone in midtown:
