    Mask Fanatics Have Officially Abandoned Science To Control Your Life

    Mask Fanatics Have Officially Abandoned Science To Control Your Life

    I coined the term Maskists to cover these people. Yes, masks are about compliance. Not health or safety.


    It’s nothing new for political religions to produce radicals that develop their own sects or cults. This time around, rigid devotion to enforcing mask compliance has produced runaway fanaticism based on nothing but blind faith that more mask-wearing is always better. Even the public health experts, whom these followers all promoted as great prophets just months ago, can’t tame their fervor.

    That’s a problem, because a return to normalcy will require subduing radical factions that agitate for oppression. Restrictions such as mask mandates are like oxygen to followers of radical fundamentalist Covidianism — the abiding belief that only lockdowns, social distancing, and masks can deliver us from the deadly pandemic. The longer mandates stay in place and experts continue promoting mask use — “My mask protects you! Your mask protects me!” — the stronger and more widespread the extremism will grow, and the less influence experts will have over their behavior.




    The evidence is abundant, but consider these three cases of radical Covidianism and how they trace back to an abandonment of the scientific standards necessary to maintain public health and a functioning society.


    1. Ignore the Dangers of Masking While Exercising

    First, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive order last week requiring all nonprofessional sports players to wear masks. Athletes, except for swimmers, must wear masks while “training for, practicing for, or competing in an organized sport” if they cannot “consistently maintain 6 feet of distance.” There are no age-specific exceptions in the requirement, so it appears Whitmer’s mask mandate for children five years old and over applies.


    Not only does this order contradict guidance from so-called experts, who say that people exercising should not wear masks because sweat can clog the mask fibers and make breathing difficult as well as “promote the growth of microorganisms,” but it overwrites Whitmer’s own order specifying that masks do not have to be worn during exercise “when wearing a face covering would interfere with the activity.”

    When governors bypass their own state Constitutions to issue unfunded mandates, it is the definitive actions of a tyrant.

    What is insulting is mandating a mask that is not capable of protecting YOU from the virus. How these masks are being marketed is wearing a mask protects others, it never promotes as protecting the one wearing the mask. People stupidly assume if their mask is protecting others then their mask wearing is protecting you. We should not have to assume anything, it is leaders that are making us wear a mask should also being saying that these masks protect you. leaders that continue to use the argument that masks protect others when they no that none of us can prove that also works for them because they are not responsible for people that get covid but always used a mask.
