The big lie

Can you post stats comparing places with mask mandates to those without them at the same period? How about doing a scientific study like this one:

". In this observational study of matched cohorts from 412 US counties between March 21 and October 20, 2020, we estimated the association between county-level public masking mandates and daily COVID-19 case incidence. On av ...[text shortened]... %20100%2C000%20people%20for%20urban%20counties,six%20weeks%20after%20intervention%2C%20respectively.

I can post stats that show soon after mask mandates were introduced cases went up.

I can post stats of neighboring countries in Europe that each bought in mask mandates at different times but all followed similar trajectories of case numbers with the same peaks and hollows.

But the best thing about mask mandate stats is that we know the masks don't physically work and all the different ways of twisting stats and altering factors and ignoring some stats while pumping friendly stats or posting studies where goobermint agencies say goobermint agencies are good, is that it casts doubt on all the other boot licking stats you post, because we know these ones are wrong.

Both Fauci and the NZ minister of health said the masks did nothing, wear one if it makes you comfortable.

In 3 years I saw 3 effective masks, can't guarantee they were fit tested, which is a minimum for effective mask wearing but they were full face with 6 tensioning straps,i.e. top of the head, behind the head and around the back of the neck.

Unless you're prepared to set the example don't even bother wagging the finger. As for forcing them on children, this is sadists satisfying their sadistic control freak whims only.

Coward, right, because that is a BS site and we don't NEED to watch it.
That would be because you disdain actual science instead going with BS opinion sites with ZERO science backing them up BECAUSE they have a political agenda which should not be on the same page as real science but because THEIR agenda's agree with your own you assume they must be 100% right ...[text shortened]... IN YOUR MIND you think you are WAY superior to us Earthlings, which is not the planet YOU came from.

The anniversary of the NZ Wellington protest is coming up, I didn't make it unfortunately, but every day for 6 weeks did 2 hours with my freedom sign beside State Highway 1, usually alone. Out of the drivers that responded easily 30:1 were positive, a friendly wave, a thumbs up, there was a constant stream of traffic going to and from the protest, complete strangers would call in and tell their story, losing their job, losing friends being cut off from family, losing their business. Of the negatives, generally a thumbs down, or abuse yelled, through to a driver swerving towards me. All with one thing in common; a face that said they'd being sucking lemons. We're definitely on the right side for smiles.

Scroll down to the google review by 'Baldy Boys" :^)

The manager came out huffing and puffing behind her mask about how I had to move on.
I said 'No'
She said 'Alright I'm calling the police'
I said 'No problem we'll sort it when the cops arrive.'

That was when she tried to put the witchey voodoo curse on me about catching covid and dying. A remark on her physique: Her health was more at risk from her (being polite) size than covid, and the increased effort to breathe through the stupid rag wasn't helping. ;^)

Two days later the local council dog catchers showed up, two dog catchers in two vehicles. The actual cops weren't interested in abusing my right to free expression that day. In a bluff/intimidation move the two dog catchers tried to make out I needed a permit for my 'Freedom' sign, they didn't quite figure out how that worked. ;^)

Activism can be fun.

Salute to this brave woman in her 70s who found out it's not always fun and how far the police are prepared to go when protecting your health. There's vid around if you have a strong stomach.

"But that does not mean that the conspiracy theories about population reduction, birth control by stealth and all the other batshat crazy stuff is true."

I don't recall any mention of that on this thread until now. The only person who brought up that other batshat crazy stuff is you. Why are you bringing up that other batshat crazy stuff?

It must be very difficult for you to admit I am right about something without bringing up other batshat crazy stuff that nobody but you brought up on this thread.

Let's face it, the de-pop conspiracy theory doesn't hold up on a couple of counts.

1/ It credits goobermint with too much ability. Some of those that crawl their way to the top by trampling and back stabbing others all the way are quite intelligent (eg fetterman and biden) but other than these shining stars most are parasitic drones who turn everything they touch to shyte and are incapable of masterminding such an elaborate scheme.

"If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand." Milton Friedman.

2/ By knocking out people with the seizure syrup they'd be getting rid of their core base, the thoughtless docile unquestioning sheep like shag doody for brains, sonhouse and kev. Which would leave the freedom loving free thinking rugged individualists, the very people an oppressive state doesn't need. As low class turd tics the power tripping pollies and petty control freak bureaurats are, they haven't reached that level of retard yet.

It's nothing so dick darstadly evil genius but rather an almost natural evolution, latch onto some cause (wuflu), make everyone terrified, cause division wherever possible, expand goobermint powers, when the push back happens relent but do not retreat, pause, then push again with the next cause (global frying) expand goobermint powers etc etc
