jesus, the quote there is awful:Doesn't give me much confidence in the coming vaccine program.Quote:
"These facemasks are the important, powerful public health tool we have ... I might even go so far as to say that this facemask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine.”"
Do these guys even realize what they are saying?
He said, "When I take a vaccine, because the immunogenicity might be 70%, and if I don't get an immune response, the vaccine's not going to protect me. THIS FACE MASK WILL."
So, basically... With a vaccine, they're still going to force everyone to wear face masks.
My response was in reference to Oregon Antifa starting fires and rioting. If the Mayor of Portland and the DA (both elected positions) supported the police and went after these guys hard, things would have been much different. Instead they don’t support the police, encourage the rioting and don’t press charges. I agree that appointed bureaucrats are a big problem as are illegal immigration.
That doesn’t clean anything up though. That just delays the inevitable. When the good people leave, these socialists will eventually follow. If people don’t wake up and vote for representatives that will take these threats seriously and keep the peace then there is really only one alternative. Unless this is really what the people of Oregon want. If that’s the case, they should advertise this on their tourism sites, “Visit Oregon, burn down a local business!”
William Briggs made a good point about this recently, if anyone has been following him.
There are masks out there that actually protect the wearers. When I worked construction they were available for guys who wanted to go through the hassle of getting fitted for them. They're also available for Joe Schmo public, and if health officials really cared they'd inform people about how they could get a mask that actually does something, instead of telling them to wear a thin, ineffective piece of cloth over their mouths.
The masks are just so the overlords and the peons can feel like they're #makingadifference.
I fucked up the other day, went into a restaurant I hadn't been to in a while. They said I couldn't come in without a mask. I said I don't have a mask. She said just put this paper napkin in front of your face until you get to your table. I said Okay.

I keep hearing people I know arguing for federal intervention in democrat shitholes, where people voted for childlike governance. How does it make any sense at all to relieve them of responsibility for their votes?
Don't forget that China, with the worst GDP growth in 30 years, created the "lockdown" model for the world to follow. They were so good at it that they contained COVID-19 to one city in a country of 1.7 billion people, but somehow infected the rest of the world. I feel like lockdowns (especially), mask mandates, and other forced government responses play into China's hands rather well. I mean, what better way to drum up your GDP than create a situation where there's a massive demand for consumer goods you just so happen to manufacture?
