Self Righteous Hypocrites That Call Me Bad

To quote a Reba McEntire song, "Now in this world, there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites that'd call me bad".  It seems like everyone has become an authority on virology/epidemiology and are now the law in telling everybody what to do-- ad nauseam.   It really is disgusting and sickening to the point of nausea, how people are treating each other.

If you go down the aisle at Wal-Mart in the wrong direction, you get a stink eye at minimum.  If you don't wear a mask you are called selfish at minimum.  It's terrible!  The funny thing is, none of these people actually know anything about virology or epidemiology.  They are just sheep following a liberal, evil, Democrat agenda being fed to them by mainstream media.

Actual virologists and epidemiologists know the truth.  None of them go around wearing masks and social distancing.  At least not voluntarily.

"Dr. Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, has written an editorial saying that “masks pose serious risks to the healthy.”

"First, Blaylock says, there is no scientific evidence that masks are effective against COVID-19 transmission. Pro-science people should care about this.

"As for the scientific support for the use of face mask, a recent careful examination of the literature, in which 17 of the best studies were analyzed, concluded that, “ None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.”   Keep in mind, no studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Any recommendations, therefore, have to be based on studies of influenza virus transmission. And, as you have seen, there is no conclusive evidence of their efficiency in controlling flu virus transmission.

"It is also instructive to know that until recently, the CDC did not recommend wearing a face mask or covering of any kind, unless a person was known to be infected, that is, until recently. Non-infected people need not wear a mask. When a person has TB we have them wear a mask, not the entire community of non-infected. The recommendations by the CDC and the WHO are not based on any studies of this virus and have never been used to contain any other virus pandemic or epidemic in history.

"Beyond the lack of scientific data to support wearing a mask as a deterrent to a virus, Blaylock says the more pressing concern is what can and will happen to the wearer.

"Now that we have established that there is no scientific evidence necessitating the wearing of a face mask for prevention, are there dangers to wearing a face mask, especially for long periods? Several studies have indeed found significant problems with wearing such a mask. This can vary from headaches, to increased airway resistance, carbon dioxide accumulation, to hypoxia, all the way to serious life-threatening complications." -- PJ media.com, Megan Fox, May 14, 2020

The article goes on to list studies that back up their claims.  If you want to read the article in full, here is the link. One more quote from the article then I will move on.

"The importance of these findings is that a drop in oxygen levels (hypoxia) is associated with an impairment in immunity. Studies have shown that hypoxia can inhibit the type of main immune cells used to fight viral infections called the CD4+ T-lymphocyte.

"This occurs because the hypoxia increases the level of a compound called hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which inhibits T-lymphocytes and stimulates a powerful immune inhibitor cell called the Tregs. . This sets the stage for contracting any infection, including COVID-19 and making the consequences of that infection much graver. In essence, your mask may very well put you at an increased risk of infections and if so, having a much worse outcome.

"In other words, if you wear a face mask and contract some sickness, you will not be able to fight it off as effectively as if you had normal blood oxygen levels. The mask could make you sicker. It could also create a “deadly cytokine storm” in some."

So, there is evidence that wearing masks for extended periods of time can actually be detrimental to your health and immunity.  I posted that mostly to show that science is not exact.  Scientists always disagree with each other.  I for one have no problem with people wearing masks if they so choose.  But I am against people being required to wear them.  There are plenty of surgeons who wear masks all day -- during surgery -- with no adverse effects noticeable anyway.  There is a time and place for wearing masks.  While scrubbed into surgery, if you are sick with any respiratory illness including colds, flus,  and yes, even COVID-19.  Or if you are going to be near someone who is highly susceptible to respiratory illnesses it would be courteous and wise to don a mask while around that person.

But to require by government orders -- notice I didn't say law, it is not a law unless passed by the legislature -- that everyone wear a mask while in public, is not only silly, but it is an invasion of privacy, and possibly detrimental to public health, and I believe unconstitutional.  Especially when there is absolutely zero scientific evidence that any of these wacko orders -- social distancing, face masks, gloves, everybody stay home and lose everything financially -- even do anything to prevent the spread of infectious disease, namely COVID-19.

Like I said before, so many people are dying from lack of medical care.  And if they're not dying, they are suffering.  Drug use, suicides, crime -- and many other vices are way up because of this lockdown.

It's absolutely insane what these evil liberal Democrats will do to try to increase their tyrannical power and control of the people.  They have brainwashed everybody into being "self-righteous hypocrites that call everybody else bad" to paraphrase Reba's song.

I've had a gut full of this nonsense!  Moral narcissism is run amok.  People can buy marijuana and have abortions -- because those are necessary according to self-righteous hypocrite idiotic evil liberal tyrannical governors.  But medical procedures to improve your life and health can wait.  So can going to church and any religious or other gatherings such as funerals and sports.  As they are not essential.  To who?  Some self-righteous hypocrite idiotic evil liberal tyrannical governor!

This is not and has never been about a viral pandemic.  It is about squashing and ripping up the Constitution of the United States of America and destroying people's rights, liberties and freedoms.

That's my two cents.
