Mask mandates don’t work though. Even mask manufacturers shielded themselves from future liability by printing warnings on the box that they do nothing to protect you, and nothing to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Personally I’m gonna trust the people who can get sued for false advertising, not some quack Fauci acolyte.

Also there is now concern about the materials used in masks. Many of them contain nano sized plastic particles. This is similar to the concern about asbestos, because that was more about the size of the particle and shape than the actual compound. There is concern that they may be infiltrating people's lungs and could lead to cancer long term and also driving pneumonia.

The point, and this alludes to a much larger civics problem, is that whether a policy works or not is completely irrelevant if the government has no authority to enact it. Folks like Fauci and this pinhead mayor don't have a license to do whatever the hell they want just because they've decided that it will benefit society. The Nazis "followed the science" "for the greater good" too, but the ends don't justify the means. What's next, are they going to force us all to quit smoking? Ban alcohol again? Implant us with microchips to make sure we're eating our vegetables? Once you give the government control over your healthcare, where does it end? I'm all in favor of the CDC educating the public and offering medical advice, but tyrannical mandates? Get fucked.
