If We Are Serious About Flattening the Case-Curve Mandatory Masking Has to Go

In an effort to destroy its already-fragile economy Maskachusettes Gov. Charlie Baker has ordered fresh lockdowns statewide. Residents are being told to stay home from 10 pm-5 am except for emergencies, and businesses have been ordered to close by 9:30 every night.

The State, which already had a mask mandate, now requires them in public, making our southern neighbor Massachusetts with Chinese characteristics. It didn’t take much to get there.

Maskachusetts, which has had its masking mandate in place for over three months, is doing everything it can to prove that it doesn’t work. We’re not surprised. For longer than that, GraniteGrok has provided expert medical testimony that universal masking is ineffective and a threat to public health.

If public health trumps everything, well, we know that was never the point. Even the CDC knows this.

Just north of Maskachusetts, Nashua, New Hampshire has had a similar issue. They mandated masks and have more cases. And these are not just anecdotal. A few days ago, The Federalist published 12-graphs showing how masking is not only useless; it may be making matters worse.

Masking vs Casedemic

 

The original goal was to flatten the mortality curve until we learned the mortal threat was a lot of noise and little else. At that point, lockdown-theater became about flattening the casedemic curve.

If the goal is to suppress our liberties in exchange for fewer cases because ‘Public health and safety” and the only places with reduced cases have no mask mandates, when can we expect the mask mandates to end?
