        Wear a mask but covid was still a government false flag!

        The whole mask thing was a a distraction drama like blm. We all know blm but the pop.marketing made it drama. A tool for division.

        In the end understand psychological warfare. 2020 was a learning period of psychological warfare. Fighting for what was real and right became psychological. How do we combat both at the same time without driving hate (anti blm, anti mask).

        What happened in in 2020 obviously didn't work. Or else we wouldn't be living in shit now. 2020 was a proof of concept.

        Rethink. Rebuild. Sacrifice.

        America isn't on the side of humanity. That's truth. And if you haven't figured that out I suggest a detox of American culture until you regain an honest sense of humanity.

        One vengeance for all. Wishful thinking would say iran is the only one truly fighting back. But we will have to see what happens in the days coming for that statement to be true. (I don't say that in "Support" but simple fact of reality....)

            Propaganda was why it didn't work. The same propaganda you started listening to.

                The wild thing is, thet back then, people knew that they were protecting others from themselves by wearing one.

                I feel like most people who wear masks today, wear them to protect themselves from catching a virus

                    Seeing as the photo implies people are being arrested for not wearing them. I doubt they did it out of their kindness of their heart.

                      I was indeed guessing but there is an interesting read

                      https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/masks-spanish-flu-1918/

                      'public health leaders rebranded personal care as a display of patriotism and duty to make men to wear masks.'

                      'In 1927, Edwin Jordan’s definitive study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association as a series of articles and then as a book, determined that masks were effective when worn by patients already sick or by those directly exposed to victims, including nurses and physicians.'

                                I think the viruses are always bound in saliva and thus are always bound in particulates that are big enough to get caught by the ffp2 mask.

                                  No dude, viruses do not enter someones body only through the mouth, if you touch someone who has anything on him you can get it too no matter where that would be, so in short a mask is covering 1% of your whole body, the rest is still exposed therefore they do not help at all! its just reasoning nothing more

                                    IIRC the ordinance was to wear masks outside but people were allowed to take them off inside because that's where they were eating, drinking, and doing stuff. So good intentions but would have been more effective if the policy was reversed.

                                        Uuuhhhh, that's why you wash your hands. And they exit through mouth and nose (specifically for respiratory illness like covid-19).
                                        So unless you touch your mouth and nose you should not have any amount of viruses on your hands. And touching your moth and nose, knowing you are potentially exposing yourself or others to a contagious virus, are things you shouldn't do. It's about protecting others maybe more than it is about protecting yourself.
