When you ask why? - It's just a mask:
....."It's just a mask" can turn into "it's just a vaccine" very quickly. And it will, you can bet your bottom dollar on that!
.
In less than 5 months, our government has successfully divided the country into "obedient mask wearers" versus "selfish people that refuse to wear masks".
.
"It's just a mask, you guys". It's for "the greater good"!
Where have we heard this phrase before?💡
.
In less than 5 months, our government has dictated what events are acceptable versus unacceptable to attend. Riots are OK, family funerals are not. Standing in a graduation line is a "safety hazard", but feel free to line up at WalMart, Lowes, and Home Depot.
.
But it's "just a mask" & "safety precautions", you guys.
.
In less than 5 months, our government successfully facilitated the closing of family-owned businesses while granting authority to large corporations that they have invested interests in.
.
It's "just a mask" and "safety precautions" you guys. Oh & here's a measly $1200 that we stole from you in the first place. Enjoy!
.
In less than 5 months, our government was able to successfully sway the population into believing that a CASHLESS SOCIETY is a good thing! In the name of a government sponsored virus.
.
In less than 5 months, our government closed down public schools, and has "restructured" school moving forward under the guise of "public safety" from a "virus". These same schools fed children crap per the corrupt USDA food pyramid. But "health" matters when it comes to a government sponsored virus 💡
.
It's "just a mask" & "heightened safety precautions", you guys.
.
In less than 5 months, our government demonstrated how easily people assimilate to "guidelines" (that have NO scientific premise whatsoever) when they are fearful.
.
What was up with all that toilet paper?
.
It's "just a mask" & "6 foot social distancing", you guys. Oh, and dooky paper.
.
In less than 5 months, our government has successfully instilled fear in a majority of the population in America.
.
But citizens are not "afraid" of the people in power who are responsible for the removal of their "freedoms". Instead, they're fearful of their neighbors and family, human touch, and air.
.
There are thousands of viruses that *could* affect the population, but these viruses do not matter because MSM didn't say they do.
.
It's absolutely terrifying to me that so many people do not question authority because they see that authority as "all knowing." It's even more terrifying that these same people rely on corrupt "leaders" to be led, thus lacking all critical thinking skills/independence.
.
Slaves to the system that keeps them oppressed.
.
How quickly history is forgotten and repeated!
.
What's most problematic to me about all of this is that the people who are wearing masks "for the greater good" will be the first to sign up for this shiny new vaccine that's had 0 longitudinal safety tests against an inert placebo.
.
What's more problematic to me is that this Vaccine MAY be the deciding factor in life moving forward.
You thought a mask was inconvenient? Wait until you're told that you cannot enter a store without proof of the Covid-19 vaccine. Wait until you cannot go to public events, or travel, without proof of having received this vaccine.
.
To everyone that doesn't believe this is possible - do you understand that our government just successfully dictated to people WHEN they were allowed to be outside, where they were allowed to go, and how their children would be educated, in less than 5 months? And that a majority of the population followed blindly because they were told to do so.
.
You're kidding yourself if you believe that they're not going to repeat this behavior with a vaccine.
.
If people have not protested the occurrences in America over the last 5 months, they will assuredly continue to abide by unsubstantiated "guidelines" that will include a vaccine.

Do you get a flu shot?

I'll tell you what is scary to me is people who copy/paste absolute drivel without ever running any of its claims through their brain.

Never said yes.

Didnt take long to prove your point MySide

Another canucky.

Did you have a polio vaccine? Were you in the military? Bet I have had 50 vaccines.

What the op posted has been happening in the lower 48. Might not be happening in Alaska.

I wont wear a mask! No vaccine either.

Never had a flu shot.

If masks work, those who want to wear them can, and they have nothing to worry about.
In the military I was forced to get shots for everything, and I was sick all the time.

My son got a flu shot 6-8 years ago. A week later he was so sick he couldn't go to work. I finally got the flu about two years ago for the first time. Never had a flu shot. I didn't think it was that bad till it turned into pneumonia. I was pretty sick then. I figure I got natural immunity to both now though. I got sick last Feb. Was worried it would turn into pneumonia again. I finally got where I could breathe again. Pretty sure that was chinese flu. I can't see how a shot can improve on whats already been done.

I'm not wearing a mask either. For weeks they didnt work and now its imperative? Whatever. I sure dont miss TV.

It is odd how Govt can pick and choose which bidnesses have to close and which can stay open. Never the Mom n Pop stores or Amy's Salon.

Yep Me too ! But then again.........I never got Typhus, Typhoid, Black Plague, Yellow fever, Polio, Measles, mumps, rubella, , tuberculosis, tetnus, smallpox or cholera.
But WHOA its all a conspiracy !!

I got my two shingles shots also, and the pneumonia. Might be time for tetanus soon. I get a shot or two of Canadian whiskey every night around 6pm. Taking my dog to vet tomorrow for a rabies shot. I love him.

You don't need the rabies shot Charles. It's a Democrat ploy !!

I suspect historians will someday look back at these times we currently live in and have an opinion.
Like we do when we look back.

I sure hope they say, "What an amazing turn around as a nation after that Covid-19 scare!"

As I went into Walmart today, and they checked my temperature, and made sure my mask was visible, I sure longed for the days when you could sneeze into your sleeve and the people around you didn't even notice.

MySide is correct. The government of the people, by the people, and for the people, has ratcheted up it's dominance to an all time high with Covid-19. Remember the days when you might think a political would respond to a letter or email you wrote? Far too many now, actively work against the electorate's choices and don't even care (AOC and Amazon). It's a badge of honor to diss your people it seems.

Our founding fathers saw this type of tyranny in their day also.
I also predict we ain't seen nothing yet. When the fast tracked vaccine hits the news stands, there will be demands put in place, in the name of public safety that will astonish and bewilder us, I predict. Let me see "your documents," will become the "new new norm."
But it's been done before in tyrannical governments. Same story, different year.

Our hope shouldn't start with government anyway. It should end there.

Blessings,
Mark

Yep , the mask is the new Lord and Savior

The mandatory chip in the forehead is up next

Remember when facemask was a 15 yard penalty?
Man, those were the days!

That darn Italian government,French government, UK government, Chinese government, Spanish government, etc. They are all out to get us Americans. They had it first and made our government and private health experts recommend many of the same requirements they implemented.

But I think there should be a rule that all networks can only broadcast COVID related topics for an hour a day. Lots of drivel that doesn't mean much gets repeated over and over. If one doesn't believe in science then OK, and if you do, Thank you. Novel means new and when experts change their opinion over time, I can understand that.
It's only teenagers who haven't experienced much that know it all. Many an "expert" has said " There is so much we don't know about this virus yet".

Should our military be really prepared if needed to defend our country? Should we and our governments do what it thinks is right to keep maybe 2-300,000 Americans from dying? I think the economy can stay reasonably open if people are careful but that doesn't seem to be happening.

Off my soapbox and let the blow back begin.

I am not getting the "vaccine" and I'm not wearing a mask. I've never had the flu shot, I did get my vaccines when I was little, that was before my parents knew better.
