I responded this to a friend yesterday who said she didn’t mind wearing the masks:

“Yes, we are all beyond ready for the covid scare and craze to end.

I didn’t desire to wear the mask because cotton dust causes brown lung disease, all dyes (even the hypoallergenic ones are typically carcinogens when inhaled), the cloth and other materials collected whatever the material came in contact with while worn or stored (on tables/dashboards, in purses/pockets) and then you place that back on your face to wear into another store/plane/office taking the soaked up germs from the last place with you. When was the last time you saw any woman sanitize the inside of her purse? Oh, and reusing cloth or single use disposable masks caused the fibers of the mask to breakdown and become easier to inhale small particles. Never before seen in lung biopsies of living patients, small plastic dust/beads are being found most likely due to wearing masks.

Brown lung disease is like asbestosis, takes 20 years. Adults are one thing, but I’m so sad for the 5 & 10 year olds who will likely be coughing up a lung when they are 25 and 30 because of the super cute cartoon masks their parents were forced to make them wear.

The outcomes of the bad policies will play out medically for the next couple of decades.

I’m super glad that the masks are becoming a relic of the past. Celebrate the wins and keep doing what you are able for those around you and those you love.”

I sent your response to my daughter in Ohio, who lost her job when she attempted to organize a group to educate her school board about mask dangers last fall. She ended up speaking to the board with no support from colleagues and only a couple of other parents. The superintendent, himself, came to her school at day’s end, bringing two principals for support, to inform her that her services were no longer needed.

This is why she was fighting. She was devastated and is still healing.

How about this? Besides lung tissue, researchers found microplastics in human blood for the FIRST TIME in March. Catastrophic repercussions beginning as a result of pandemic mismanagement. https://rtmagazine.com/disorders-diseases/microplastics-lung-tissue-of-living-people/

Kickbacks from the beginning. I remember when they came to Orlando and just like Wall Mart wiped out the little guys and the whole culture of Central Florida. Citrus Groves and cattle ranches were a plenty. Now Orlando is a Las Vegas for kids. Yuck!

Re: Disney visitors. Why would ANYONE visit Disneyland Florida and wear a mask? I wouldn't go anywhere near it. My economic mask boycott is absolute.

Re: kids wearing masks. Friends of mine who are also parents have given me this bull$hit "I told my kid to do what is comfortable" line. I told them to PARENT and TELL their kid to take it off. They would forget what a mask was in 48 hours. One particular fellow who prides himself as being a modern parent got the "sorry bro, you're just a spectator it sounds like". He wasn't impressed.

As my husband would say, "Don't try to put words into my wife's mouth or you will be very sorry!" All my family and friends know that I will NEVER be politically correct because THAT is a bunch of hogwash! I used to write to President Trump all of the time on Twitter telling him to "Choose your words wisely." He never listened either and then we both got banned. C’est la vie.

In Oregon we can only dream of freedom, morality and peace. For 30 years it has been a nightmare and living hell hole but only because of the Dem(on)s ruling in Salem and ALL mail in voting since 1998. No Republican Governor is allowed according to Dominion.

"Vaccines work, masks do not."

Well, they got part of it right (finally). When will they drop the "vaccine" crap? I am so over it!!

Saw this today. If you don't want the Vax you shouldn't be considered a domestic terrorist (no matter your age). Plus should be free to have a different opinion about covid and covid stuff like masks and vaxxes and not be considered a domestic terrorist.

The reason I publicly let people I know I haven't is because I don't want them to feel alone if they haven't and because we need to have a control group in this experiment. But, I agree it shouldn't need to be shared by anyone, and I am vehemently opposed to vax passports.

This all needs to be viewed through the lens of the end game; digital vaccine passports (ID) with social credit scores, personal carbon credits, etc. IOW, compete dystopian biotechno surveillance and control. This is no conspiracy theory, this is the goal. When masks served the purpose of being a constant reminder of being in a “pandemic” they were useful. Now, people have grown weary of them and they are political poison. Thus the shift away for them and back to “vaccines”. They are the linchpin in the passport plan. The “elites” did not account for how infective and dangerous these jabs would be, but through disinformation, censorship, sleigh of hand, etc they will relentlessly continue their push to “vaccinate the world” and implement their totalitarian system.

If she makes it we are back to lockdowns and obligatory masks. I read an interview with her and she would have ruined all our small businesses.

May 16 @ 6pm Hold The Line/Sean Feucht will be at D World Orlando to continue the protest out front.

We drove across I-4 yesterday passing all the theme park exits and just before DW exit there was a huge billboard with the words “gay” peppered all over it. 🤮

It was a disgusting and shameful display of their agenda. I wish people would wise up and stop going there and send the message loud and clear. Unfortunately too many don’t care because they just wanna go on vacation. 😔

Way back in May or June of 2020, after reading a lot of stuff on the efficacy of masks, during a conference call with my peers and boss, I stated that masks don't work. I was loudly scolded and shamed by my boss (the CEO) for making that statement. (I'll never forgive him for that) I knew I was right back then, but had to bite my tongue to keep my job (which the firm eventually consolidated away about 9 months later). If I ever run into Charley again, I will ask for an apology and spit on his shoe if he refuses.

I watched a video from one of the top ventilation experts in the nation about that same time. He is the one they call for testifying in court cases involving improper ventilation issues. He flat out told everyone and even tried to get the ignorant politicians in DC to hear his expertise advice that cloth or paper masks were useless for microscopic aerosol virus particles. They laughed at him. I heard him loud and clear but hey I am only a lowly common person that apparently has minimal brain function compared to elected officials and science experts. So.

Elected officials always want to be able to claim "they did something", even if that thing was wrong. Donald Trump made the first big mistake by not firing Fauci and Birx in May 2020 when it was clear their recommendations were failures. He also should have taken Pence out of the leadership position of the task force and handed it to someone with real expertise in public health policy. Instead, the federal response was led by politicians and the result was, of course, political decisions.

Most state governors, DeSantis excluded, were disasters at handling COVID for their states - absolute disasters. Trump mobilized federal resources very well and made them available to the states. But the states really botched their responsibilities.

Our (the US) response to COVID will have massive, long term repercussions. Other countries would be stupid to follow our lead on any health issues in the future, except that Gates, through the WHO, has many of them by the short hairs. US citizens no longer trust the federal and state health bureaucracies. When we have a real crisis, no one will listen to them. I believe we are going to see unheard of levels of chronic conditions caused by the vaccine. I believe we are going to see long term behavioral issues in children for the next generation - increased suicide, depression, hostility, detachment...

And the worst part about this is almost all of this was known by early summer of 2020; IT DID NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN. But the elites wanted Trump out of power and were willing to sacrifice anyone to make that happen. The people in leadership positions during COVID have left an indelible stain on the history of our country, and the world.

I believe you are absolutely correct! And this is so very sad!! But those who hated and still hate President Trump with a total passion did (and will continue to do) everything they possibly could, with the exception of assassination, to stop him from the very minute he announced he would run for President. They knew he would not play well with them in their cat-turd filled sandbox. They were right but he still held on until the end of his term. Watch the "you know what" hit the fan when he announces he will run in 2024. Hopefully at that time the courts will be packed with cases of illegal criminal activities by all elected officials who were a part of the crimes against the citizens and someone will have stopped the tampering by Dominion, criminal election activity and fraudulent voting.
