MTG drops some science on twitter:

Marjorie Taylor Greene @mtgreenee

So many people still wearing masks.

I just want to ask you.

If a pair of underwear, really thick ones, high quality cotton, can’t protect you from a fart, then how will a mask protect you from covid??

Bonny Thompson Rosemeyer's avatar

We needed to take our granddaughter to an urgent care over the Thanksgiving weekend for a possible UTI. We went to one that was a branch of Ohio State University. Everyone has to mandatory mask up at the door. They refused to treat our granddaughter because she had not been a patient of OSU medical system and was not in the computer. Next stop, Ohio Health. Again mandatory masking at the door. Thought we had hit the Jack pot because there were no patients waiting in the lobby. Nope. They only see patients by appointment only. Next appointment was 3 hours away. The experience was like we are in a third world country with no ability to get medical care. This is in the middle of Columbus, Ohio. Who refuses to treat a six year old? And EVERYONE still has a mask on. This is suppose to be Ohio’s premier health care system!

Jon Stephenson's avatar

This is messed up! Urgent Cares with no sense of urgency. Free standing ERs are more expensive but they can't refuse service (same as hospitals).

Hospitals and acute care clinics are like a special bubble in the world that is still living in 2020.

Annie's avatar

Urgent cares are to be avoided. I have nothing but bad experiences there.

SunnyRai's avatar

I had to utilize an urgent care a few months ago for an injury, and while the hospital chain urgent care was a really long wait, and required masking, I went to a Premier ER Urgent care down the road and had absolutely no wait, no masking even mentioned on the door or by staff, and received the best care I've had in YEARS! I was impressed, and surprised.

Look into D Mannose for future UTI’s 😊 At least until a doctor can be found. It’s the active ingredient in cranberries that stop most uti’s.

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

cranberry extract ! thanks for clearing that up. I have that for my dog. She used to have it when she was young. If it works on a dog it certainly will work on a child ! Proof that homeopathic and herbal treatment works well and is not 'all in our head' like some allopathic docs dare say

Maha's avatar

I would combine cranberry extract and D-Mannose as a double hit on bladder infections.

Truthseeker's avatar

The poor girl… I hope she’s feeling better now. There’s no compassion anymore in healthcare.

And It’s starting to sound a lot like Canada’s socialist healthcare system… where they can see you in 25 weeks or put you on a waitlist for surgery with 225,000 - 250,000 other people.

Thank you Obama and Biden.

i think

The current system is so broken… the only way out of this is for the good MDs left to set up private practices and people to opt out of the current system. Pay for service.

No one in network provides anything of value to our family now…. Despite annual exorbitant healthcare rates.

Use Myfreedoctor.com

Same day consult. Your payment to doc is a donation. They will give you an Rx for whatever ails you. Doctor's are HIGHLY qualified.

Case in point 3 doctors sued the FDA over misleading public about Ivermectin. Dr. Aptor from AZ, one of those doctors. He was my doctor when I got covid and i used myfreedoctor.com to get my Ivermectin Rx.

Copernicus's avatar

I don’t know their policies, but a UTI in a kid really needs proper lab eval too… which can be tricky to sort out online.

Based Florida Man's avatar

We are becoming more 3rd world each day.

And the masks are so unscience.

compliance over science.

Scott Kinghorn's avatar

Fortunately today when I went to my Dr's office to have my blood drawn no one was wearing masks and haven't been for some time. But my Dr also used hydroy to tx covid. This is in omaha, Ne.

Scott Kinghorn's avatar

Went back today for the yearly wellness check and again no masks. Did ask Dr about the dousage of the iver I got through the mail. He seemed happy that I had gotten it. Even said it helps with the flu. we talked about all the BS from the beginning. He said there's still corp. pharmacies that won't fill the scripts. I'm fortunate he's an independent Dr but knows of corp. ones that have been fire for just talking about what we did. Flipping sad. Never forget and no amnesty.

Scott Kinghorn's avatar

That's insane how they can refuse treatment?? I wonder what happens at OSU's E.R. when someone is brought in by ambulance. Do they say wait gotta check to see if they're in the system??

Copernicus's avatar

Appalling on many levels. I’m so sorry for your experience.

We have a Community Med here that you sign up for an appointment window. I rather like it because I’d rather wait at my house and be miserable than wait in my car or a waiting room. They don’t require masks. But I’m in Texas so there aren’t many dr offices that do. Even the big hospital group has eased way up on masks which shocked me. Military base is the last holdout it seems.

I was just going to suggest this also! UTIs are very treatable with herb tinctures and D-mannose is caught early enough!

KarenQ's avatar

As a first line of defense I recommend watching how she cleans herself after a BM (think about female anatomy 😉)and ensuring she is well hydrated to keep the tract flushed.

Annie's avatar

Agree. I use uricalm regularly for good uti health. They have chewables too.

Bill Beers's avatar

It's interesting that N95 testing uses scented sprays to test if the seal around your nose and mouth has any leaks. And if you can smell the spray, the N95 mask isn't fitted properly.

How many people touting N95 masks test their fit?

How many people say they were thankful they wore an N95 mask, got Covid and said it could have been so much worse?

Nikki (Gayle) Nicholson's avatar

Yes, I was tested numerous times with all types of different N95s, each time, I smelled the chemicals. Before covid, and many years ago, as a RN in the ICU, we only stayed in rooms that were negative pressure for 25 minutes, than had to get a new mask. To be completely honest, I don't think they had N95s back than. But I love the line from Based Florida Man, about the fart and cotton underwear. Perfect analogy. lol

Annie's avatar

Encourage the maskers to wear 2 or 3 maybe 4 masks. You know why! Science! And encourage them to get all and any boosters and flu shots. That should clear up the problem within a couple of years. 😉

Fre'd Bennett, MAHA's avatar

Annie's avatar

Climate change, sex, gardening, listening to mean unvaxxed people, air, etc et al. How is a vaxxed masker to survive? 😱😉😂

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

this reminds me of a test I read at the time in a belgian paper. They had someone run with different masks on... I wonder if the person is still alive

Bill Beers's avatar

I suspect that most young to middle age adults with healthy lungs would not have a problem wearing an N95 mask while experiencing moderate exertion. At 68+, I can still mow the lawn at a quick pace with one on. It's way better than getting a snoutful of pollen in the spring. And when it's loose, it doesn't keep the pollen out. Once I sneezed it clean off.

RandiG's avatar

MTG’s analogy is hard to argue with!

I’m still wondering why people are still wearing masks, too. I had a mole removed from behind my ear SO, sadly, I can’t wear them. 😞

TRM's avatar

Dr McDonald (https://markmcdonaldmd.substack.com/) is of the opinion that they have mental health issues. He's not being flippant or rude, just factual. They've been beaten down with fear porn for so long they can no longer tell fantasy from reality. He's written a great book called "Freedom From Fear" with a 12 step guide to help people.

SadieJay's avatar

I am looking at it as a service to all of us. Because you know they have probably been shot to shit and I really don't want to breathe their air. But, I can probably smell their farts. This quandary is legit.

Genevieve's avatar

I love reading Dr. Mark McDonald. Also he does a podcast called "Informed Dissent".

informeddissentmedia.com where he has some interesting interviews. It's really worth a listen!

Angela's avatar

I don't get why people are still wearing them either. I really don't understand the people who are choosing to wear them and don't even wear them "correctly"?! That is so bizarre to me, they want to virtue signal and make me feel inferior but they can't toe the maskenati line????

Annie's avatar

My husband starts coughing a lot around them. They scatter like roaches. I have to walk away to hide my laughter. 😄

SunnyRai's avatar

I'm not quite middle-aged, and athletic-fit, was dining at a restaurant recently when three morbidly-obese women 300+ lbs, walked into restaurant, each wearing a painter's mask, and were seated across from us, I had been having seasonal allergies and coughed a few times, they each snapped their heads around SO fast to look at me, waiter returned with their drinks and to take their food order when one of them said they'd changed their minds and were going to dine elsewhere. 😅🤷🏼‍♀️

Chevrus's avatar

I resist the urge whilst in the market to say: “Oh you must be with the Spittle County Maskers!” I dont wanna be mean though….they really have been traumatized.

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

the funniest thing happened when there was a mask obligatory at WM. A former friend told me how effective masks are when you wear them correctly. After I made a remark how it hinders me because I have allergies and don't seem to get enough air, she told me she lets it down soon as she is out of sight ! LOL

Jon Stephenson's avatar

Nice! Was this able to get you actual official excemptions?

Zealots would point out true N95s strap around your head, not your ears.

¡Andrew the Great!'s avatar

That's not her real account. It's a spoof or satire (or whatever) account. She didn't tweet that.

Her Twitter account is @RepMTG.

Based Florida Man's avatar

Thanks for the correction and the update.

¡Andrew the Great!'s avatar

I hope I didn't sound like I was jumping ugly. It's just that I had come across that tweet recently, and many Leftists in Twitter were spreading it and commenting on it like it was genuine. So I thought I'd mention that it wasn't MTG's actual account.

KenM's avatar

We ask that question every day at work. I dont think these people are ever dropping their masks. Doesn’t help all medical establishments in the state of CT are still requiring them.

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

when she was elected, a former friend told me to watch out for her. So I did, and I think MTG is a gain to this country. She is not always right of course, but many of her statements should be paid a whole lot more attention to because quite often she is right

TRM's avatar

It is funny because eventually the CDC admits the truth but then lies about their reasons. When omicron came out they said to wear a N95 with a nylon stocking over it to hold it tight because the quantity of omicron would overwhelm a cloth or surgical mask.

The Truth: A tight fitting N95 is the minimum entry level to get any positive measurements and always has been. Yes it needs to be as tight fitting as having a nylon over top.

The Lie: Quantity has nothing to do with it. Masks & filtration work on particle size and all quantity will do is plug it up quicker.

If your cloth or surgical mask worked before it would still work. If it doesn't work now IT NEVER DID.

Annie's avatar

Good analogy. 🙂

UM Ross's avatar

Some of us have been asking that question for 2-1/2 years already.

J Boss's avatar

Is she saying even granny panties don't stop farts? Cause that was my ex's last line of defense with her new guy....

Jo Waller's avatar

I have been thinking about this. A fart is not an actual thing. It is only a sound and a smell, so it only exists in the perception of the receiver; the sound makes waves in the air 'heard' by the ear and the smell is carried in molecules through the pants and actually up the nose of the receiver to dock in receptors which make the brain say 'fart smell'!

Covid and SARS are not actual things either. The genome only exists in a computer and the 'disease'- a collection of detox symptoms- is just a construction in the mind.

The only way we know it's there is because we were told it was- vibrations in the air and frabricated images coming into our eyes https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/seeing-is-believing.

I saw that the emperor had no clothes from the beginning

INGRID C DURDEN's avatar

fart is a gas, I think of the methane kind. I heard that if you light it it kinda explodes and burns you real bad (i know this from a person befriended with someone who tried it and had severe burn wounds) Invisible does not mean it does not exist

Words Beyond Me-Janice Powell's avatar

“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying. “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.

— Revelation 22:12-17 NASB1995

Anne Clifton's avatar

Yesterday we went to the theater (a place I hate) to see The Chosen. My favorite line, by John the Baptist, was, "This prison is nothing, now that He's here." Then I read in 1 Peter this morning and was further encouraged by verse 5 of chapter 1. "You are being guarded by God’s power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time." I feel as if we are already in a prison of sorts, but ultimately it's nothing, because Jesus will never leave or forsake His children.

ahhhh....Black Sabbath a satanic band??? Are we doing this again?

After Forever Lyrics from the Master of Reality album.

Have you ever thought about your soul

Can it be saved?

Or perhaps you think

That when you are dead

You just stay in your grave

Is God just a thought within your head

Or is he a part of you?

Is Christ just a name

That you read in the book

When you were in school?

When you think about death

Do you lose your breath

Or do you keep your cool?

Would you like to see the pope

On the end of a rope?

Do you think he's a fool?

Well I have seen the truth

Yes, I've seen the light

And I've changed my ways

And I'll be prepared

When you're lonely and scared

At the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid

Of what your friends might say

If they knew you believe in God above?

They should realise before they criticise

That God is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall

In with the pack wherever they run

Will you still sneer when death is near

And say that you may as well worship the sun?

I think it was true it was people like you

That crucified Christ

I think it is sad the opinion you had

Was the only one voiced

Will you be so sure

When your day is near

Say you don't believe

You had the chance

But you turned it down

Now you can't retrieve

Perhaps you'll think before you say

God is dead and gone

Open your eyes, just realise

That He is the one

The only one who can save you now

From all this sin and hate

Or will you jeer at all you hear?

Yes, I think it's too late

Chevrus's avatar

I was going to write about this as well but you beat me to it. Black Sabbath was originally called Earth and they hired Ozzy simply because he had a PA system. It is worth noting that Osborne’s later antics have reflected poorly on the band from which he came. It is also worth mentioning that he write none of the lyrics for Sabbath. There was a band from the same era in the UK which definitely espoused satanism called Black Widow. While the music of Black Sabbath may not be everyone’s cup of tea, they most definitely are the most significant single influence on heavy rock in its history. Having owned most of their early work, I can say with certainty that they denounce satanism, and even promote faith in Christianity. They DO however examine the darker side of humanity, and are quite critical of it. Some of their music inspires hope in the face of adversity, and can be viewed as a glimmer of optimism in an otherwise dismal scenario.

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

I've been around for a long, long years

Stole million man's soul an faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ

Had his moment of doubt and pain

Made damn sure that Pilate

Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game

Stuck around St. Petersburg

When I saw it was a time for a change

Killed Tsar and his ministers

Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank

Held a general's rank

When the blitzkrieg raged

And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name, oh yeah

Ah, what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee

While your kings and queens

Fought for ten decades

For the gods they made

I shouted out

Who killed the Kennedys?

When after all

It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

And I laid traps for troubadours

Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

But what's confusing you

Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal

And all the sinners saints

As heads is tails

Just call me Lucifer

'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me

Have some courtesy

Have some sympathy, and some taste

Use all your well-learned politnesse

Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, mm yeah

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down

Woo, who

Oh yeah, get on down

Oh yeah

Aah yeah

Tell me baby, what's my name?

Tell me honey, can ya guess my name?

Tell me baby, what's my name?

I tell you one time, you're to blame

What's my name

Tell me, baby, what's my name?

J Boss's avatar

I would argue the external influences are most powerful early... how to get a record deal? How to make it big? How much control do you still have after signing the deal? How young (and naive and/or stupid) are you?

It's possible unpopular truths (according to mainstream rock and roll industry and fans) only surface in published songs after sufficient power and leverage is obtained.

How far into the career was that Christian beliefs song? I bet it was decades...

Boston lost control of their recording strategy to the record label. The techno wizard MIT founder cut a deal with the producer to use the homemade recording as the master for the debut album. Why? Because the dude was an audio engineering inventor with superior sound quality in his home studio. He thought it sounded better. And he was right.

well there are/were satanic bands. Mercyful Fate was one. I listened to them. Venom too. But I also listened to the gangster rap when it first came out. And yet here I am today decades later, with 4 kids and a deep, deep relationship with The Lord.

Can music steer some kids wrong? Sure. But if one is susceptible to that, something other than music will get them anyhow.

Bones's avatar

Thanks so much for the lyrics to that Black Sabbath song. I love Christian metal. I disagree. That music is not a very serious matter however, the music people listen to can have a very deep affect on them. I am grateful though that you are discerning and that you pointed out that many people just assume that certain bands are negative that may not be

Jeff, thank you for the education on how it isn't all bad when a deposed person states they can't recall something. I was furious, akin to road-rage, when I heard that he could not recall anything.
