Screw that! I haven't worn a mask since June, when I reviewed the REAL SCIENCE and figured out it was not only nonsense but harmful. I just say "I am unable to wear a mask safely. Thank you for understanding." Only twice have I been denied entry: once at Sprouts in Tennessee (just lost my business) and once at Ace Hardware here in Texas. (No problem. Lowe's doesn't give a rip.)

Last week a rude woman at HEB glared at me and just said "Mask!" angrily. I looked at her and said "MANNERS! You do realize that YOU are why people get called Nazis?"

But also last week at HEB, a young employee approached me and gestured to his mask. Before I could give him my excuse, he pulled down his own mask and said "I'm so happy you aren't wearing one of these! They are horrible." At first I thought he was deaf, but I learned that he had suffered a brain injury. I wrote down some web sites with info to help him learn what foods help with brain issues, such as unrefined, cold pressed coconut oil. He asked me to show him so we went to the aisle and I picked out a good one for him. He was so sweet and thankful, he asked if he could give me a hug.

We hugged right there in the middle of the aisle, while other shoppers gaped at us. Made my whole week.

I want people to see my face and remember that THIS is normal. Weating a petri dish on your face is NOT NORMAL and causes harm by:

  1. restricting oxygen intake (OSHA actually classifies the restriction as a safety violation)
  2. collecting bacteria and viruses (which actually INCREASES your likelihood of getting sick from something AND increases the chance that you will pass germs to others around you); and
  3. they trigger a stress response via your amygdala that prompts your body to release cortisol, which supresses immune function.

REFUSE TO COMPLY! If you wear a mask EVER, you are PART OF THE PROBLEM!

Sadly people forget their freedom by taking the "other solution" the corrupt government gives them...

From https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/2007-04-02-0:

"Human beings must breathe oxygen . . . to survive, and begin to suffer adverse health effects when the oxygen level of their breathing air drops below [19.5 percent oxygen]. Below 19.5 percent oxygen . . . , air is considered oxygen-deficient. At concentrations of 16 to 19.5 percent, workers engaged in any form of exertion can rapidly become symptomatic as their tissues fail to obtain the oxygen necessary to function properly (Rom, W., Environmental and Occupational Medicine, 2nd ed.; Little, Brown; Boston, 1992). Increased breathing rates, accelerated heartbeat, and impaired thinking or coordination occur more quickly in an oxygen-deficient environment. Even a momentary loss of coordination may be devastating to a worker if it occurs while the worker is performing a potentially dangerous activity, such as climbing a ladder."

And this from https://www.thehealthyamerican.org/osha:

Here is what OSHA states about cloth face coverings and surgical masks:

"Are not considered personal protective equipment (PPE).”

"Will not protect the wearer against airborne transmissible infectious agents due to loose fit and lack of seal or inadequate filtration.”

To file a complaint, include these items in your complaint:

WEARING A MASK VIOLATES THE “GENERAL RULE” and CREATES A WORKPLACE SAFETY HAZARD for these reasons:

Masks obstruct your breathing, possibly bringing it below the OSHA-established levels of oxygen in the atmosphere of 19.5% — thus increasing risk of “IDLH” — Immediate Danger to Life and Health

Masks obscure your vision, increasing the hazard of workplace injuries because of impaired vision.

Masks obscure your verbal communication, increasing the hazard of workplace injuries. Someone might yell, “Danger” but you could not hear it because of the muffles voice under the mask.

Cloth masks increase risk of FIRE HAZARD, with your face going up in flames.

Face Shields increase glare, which can increase risk of vision problems.

There is no statutory law or regulation that requires wearing a mask, face covering or face shield, aside from other PPE that might be required in certain industries.

Or just walk into the store and tell staff to fuck off. They will never let you take the mask off, you will have to refuse to wear it.

Yeah I tend to agree. It probably is a lot more comfortable than a mask.

I agree with you. Houston has mandatory mask-wearing in stores. I started wearing one of these months ago, when a face kotex can be deadly when temps are in the upper 90's.

It satisfies the governors "order" that mask has to cover nose and mouth - that's it. Says nothing about what material it has to be made of. I have a link on my phone, in case someone was going to challenge me, but no one has.

In Houston, if you don't wear a mask, the store will be fined (not me). Didn't think it was right to have them pay a fine.

People can see my face and see a smile, which is rare these days in public. Also, little kids are so scared! It will be difficult for many people to put away the mask, so you are right - this is a good way to "step down" this new learned behavior.

and the virus will float right around the bottom of the shield, no fabric or paper mask will protect you

Careful. Buttplug inspection before entering.

These actually offer more protection since splatter and touching your face are most likely methods of transmission.

I saw 1 of these face shield dumbfucks in the store a while back I wasn’t wearing a mask and I just stopped and stared as he walked by with that stupid thing on.

More doctors smoke camels than any other cigarette. They’re good for your T Zone. T for taste, T for throat.

Glad I’m not the only one whose first reaction to “T zone” was to think of old cigarette ads.

Makes it easier to spot these sheeple.

I relish walking into any store without a mask. Some stare in horror like they expect me to drop dead. I just give them a big smile like like u/OneManBanned and go on my way. I refuse to have any of my freedoms taken away by a fake pandemic and lunatic politicians. My only ruler is God Almighty.

Early on in Chyna19 I saw a lady with one of these on and a face diaper, while out walking on a gravel trail wide enough for two vehicles.

And will wear face diapers IN THEIR OWN HOMES, because they think it’s the law and saving grace, I know many of these people, it’s maddening

Unreal... people with these freaking things. IF there was a deadly virus, that virus would be respiratory in nature - which this splatter shield does nothing to stop. What do people think this is - ebola? If there was any doubt as to who was on “the side of science”, after this there shouldn’t be.

Don't worry guys, the virus can't go under or around the sides of things!

I saw an older couple pull their shields up and pass the fruit to each other so they could smell it. Pressed the produce right up to their noses so they could find the perfect one.

Don’t worry about your T zone old man.

There hasn’t been any “T” in that cuckold face for decades.

Seems about as effective (cough ineffective) as a mask. Depends on your fashion preference I guess.

That thing doesn't do any more than a mask. (Which is nothing). Chyna flu is supposed to be an "airborne pathogen", not a snot rocket for God's sake!
