Well, I am sure you are correct.
If you can find a mass media source claiming "fake news" (Snopes!
![Oops! :oops: :oops:](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@14.0.2/assets/72x72/1f633.png)
no less) it must be true. Though I would suggest a little critical thinking and independent research may yet set you free.
But to be certain we understand each other, my "ideology" is that a cloth mask trying to stop viral material is the equivalent of using chicken wire as a mosquito net. Period. Pretty much sums it up.
That has nothing to do with the virus per se. But forbidding that observation from any discussion with respect to the general population or efficacy of mask wearing dictates does seem to have a lot more to do with maintaining a sense of fear among the general populace while a political agenda is achieved, than protecting anyone's health.
If you don't believe that is the case - fine.
I took the the two course immunization, and I accept the intent of those vaccinations. Like polio, yellow fever, typhoid, et al such inoculations are not 100% effective, but these are about as good as they get. Ergo, I am done with masks. We wear them where a business requires them, but we are also enjoying unmasked our favorite restaurants and bars (at 100% capacity) while hospitalizations and deaths per percentage of population continue to decline in our state (Texas). Oh yes, and our children have been in school essentially all year.
But if you want to continue to shelter in place, you have that right.
The fellow you are decrying as "fake news" is well published in a host of different sites and journals. And frankly, though it is interesting what a non-practicing immunologist bureaucrat can hypothesize to all of us whenever he can find a camera about the benefits of wearing a cloth bandage across our collective faces for extended periods, it would seem logical that someone with an understanding of pulmonary cardiology might actually have a better understanding of the broader physiological effects of such a practice on our bodies.
Of course that can't be tolerated by the true believers.
When this is written about in the next century, it won't be about the great influenza of 2020/21. It will be about the great hysteria.
