COVID-19 Lockdowns: Liberty and Science

But there is scant evidence that masks prevent the transmission of COVID or any other respiratory infection. In every randomized clinical trial ever conducted, there have been inconclusive findings that mask wearing aided in suppressing transmission of respiratory diseases. Studies generally rely upon fitted N95 respirators that must be sterilized after every use or surgical masks that should be thrown away. We have more evidence that typical masks cause headaches than that they prevent against COVID.

This isn’t just a matter of a few people missing out on a few weeks of work. CNBC host Jim Cramer has noted that the Chinese Coronavirus pandemic led to one of the biggest wealth transfers in all of American history. Wall Street cleaned up at the expense of Main Street.
Of course, this was the goal of it all, just as will be the goal of the “Great Reset.” It is to impoverish the middle class, and enrich the already wealthy. They hate the middle class.
As for masks, I’ve explain before many times that you may as well try to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence.
The filter fibers leave too much open space to capture a particle the size of a virus (80 – 120 nm) by interception, and the virus is non-polar, so electrostatic attraction to the fibers isn’t an effective means of filtration.
On the other hand, you can certainly deprive your brain of oxygen by wearing a mask. One other thing that can be accomplished is to make children even more ignorant.
School is out. If you think learning is happening at home, you’re naive. Children in my neighborhood are majoring in learning to ride skateboards when they ought to be learning to construct meaningful sentences, calculus and physics.
It’s almost as if they want to create an entire generation of stupid factory workers, perpetually behind the Chinese and Japanese children, yes?

The Chinese and Japanese parents don’t tolerate stuff like sports getting in the way of school. They especially don’t tolerate lousy teachers, substandard education, or grades in anything lower than “A”‘s. The parents here tolerate incompetent teachers, substandard education in public schools, and social promotion ensures that grades don’t count. So it’s not *the government* creating an entire generation of stupid service economy drones, it’s the parents who allow it to happen. Homeschoolers do so well because their parents set standards and are actively involved in the education of their children.

Say it with me slowly, you can do it everybody, ready; it’s not about a virus, it’s about control. There, you see, that wasn’t so hard was it?

So what leads you to believe they are learning that in school?
