    I've been saying this over and over again.

    Inslee in Washington state announces statewide mask mandate.

    https://www.governor.wa.gov/news-med...e-mask-mandate

    I have read in detail the reasoning behind mask mandates etc. (30+ years in hospital based education and work experience)

    Echoing what was said in the video... with the stand out message...

    BEWARE. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT.

    "If your mask is hurting you, do you still feel compelled to wear it? In many areas, people no longer have a true choice, as mask-wearing has become mandatory. A measure intended to keep communities safe is causing extreme division, infringing on individual’s constitutional rights and putting them at risk. Your state and local officials need to hear from you.

    Though CDC’s policy guidance encourages the use of face masks, there is substantial evidence showing that masks are harmful and a lack of evidence showing they are effective in preventing the spread of coronavirus. Studies show that wearing a face covering reduces blood and tissue oxygenation — which can be deadly — while increasing carbon dioxide levels. Mask-wearing can also increase the risk of infection and the spread of viral illness, hinder detoxification that occurs via exhalation, impair the immune system and cause many other ailments, both physical and emotional. Moreover, some masks have been found to contain known carcinogens, which put people at risk from inhaling toxic chemicals and having them come into contact with their skin.

    Lawsuits are now being filed throughout the country to challenge mandatory masks. Despite evidence of harm and questionable evidence of benefit, fall 2020 school guidelines across the country are calling for mandatory masks. Public school systems (e.g., San Diego, California) are concerned that mask requirements in the classroom will spark even more legal battles.

    It’s unethical and unconstitutional to force healthy citizens to abide by measures that can result in physical and emotional harm and that impinge on their ability to move freely throughout society without discrimination. For those with deeply held religious beliefs, mask mandates violate their ability to abide by natural law and follow their convictions to walk in faith, not fear. As such, the decision to wear a mask is a highly personal one and should not be universally mandated; measures that are meant to protect the community as a whole are ineffective if they hurt individuals in that community. Please send your your state and local officials a pre-drafted email and tweet now and urge them to make sure that mask-wearing is voluntary, not mandatory.

    Blessings Natalie,

    Here's the response I received from senator wyden.

    Quote Charles,

    I disagree. You can voluntarily stay away from others without a mask and choose not to potentially infect them. However, the health experts have opined that wearing a mask is the best way to protect people in public places. It's common sense. Think about and respect those around you, especially those who are elderly or have comprised systems. It doesn't take much to wear a simple mask and it may save someones life.

    Face masks protect others from you and should be mandatory in small enclosed spaces. The potency of the virus appears to be diminishing so hopefully nobody will have to worry about it in the near future! They do feel creepy when it's hot and humid. That's for sure!

    Actually all the real science says the opposite.
    Only in a surgical setting or if someone is caring for someone who is very ill should surgical masks be worn.
    That's well documented in many article and videos posted in this thread.
    If governments make masks mandatory, it's just one more civil right citizens will have lost, at least in the US where such a law would be unconstitutional.

    Nope...scientists who have studied the subject thoroughly say surgical masks are of great benefit to the public at large, at this current time. This is now indisputable fact, regardless of the flawed analysis of wannabe experts or so called experts.

    It's a medical issue and if you feel it encroaches on your civil liberties that is not only your problem but a problem for everyone who has to inhale your unfiltered exhalations.

    Health and safety is a human rights issue.
    If I am forced to wear one against my free will then that affects my mental health.

    I very much doubt this is true and the assertion that it isn't disputed is certainly false.

    You're probably alluding to the kind of studies which show how projected "droplets" are diminished under UV light etc. These are a great little piece of propaganda which add to the general "circus" of frenzied hand waving, but put into context that's all they are.

    We're talking about perfectly healthy, well people for a start who've generally had the right to breath fresh air for around 250,000 years. For the most part they also posses more than one brain cell between their ears and understand how to mitigate risk for themselves if they happen to be vulnerable or symptomatically infected. If you want to have recourse to legislation that forces everyone into unhealthy habits in order to address the odd extremely rare event then I'd say that's an ideological perspective, not a medical one. It's the type of perspective that leads very quickly to complete tyranny if widely adopted.

    That's the real reason for these types of policies - social conditioning. In other words it doesn't actually matter whether "science" says masks reduce spread or not, what matters is that people accept that they have no say in the matter even if they didn't ask to be "protected" in that particular way.

    This type of logic pervades all of Covid-19 so called "science" which is about as scientific as the "new normal" is normal, It generally works along these lines:

    1. I tested positive for blue eyes today using a new type of test called "mirror"
    2. I've heard there are some sick people around who also tested positive for blue eyes
    3. I need to self-isolate for 14 days and wear a mask on trains
    4. If we can get more of these "mirror" type tests out to everybody we might find we have a pandemic on our hands

    Wearing a mask is exactly what they want so that the second wave will devastate our society. Lack of oxygen to the system caused by wearing a mask, proven 'indisputably' to reduce oxygen intake by over 10%, acidifies the blood and lowers overall immunity...

    More on the link I just pasted a small section.

    https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/th...irus-act-2020/

    Fighting Against the Masks!


    We can confirm that we are also challenging the legality of being forced to wear masks/ face coverings on public transport and now even in shops in Scotland. It is extremely harmful to health and has no scientific evidence of effectiveness. This is just another form of mind control and to create constant fear and worry in the public. Further, it is against our Human Rights and we should not accept this or any other of the ludicrous measures this Government of Occupation brings in.

    This represents a complete 'U turn' on policy by the Government who has announced on many occassions that mask wearing would not be required. It is also against advice given by SAGE and documented in the SAGE minutes and reports.

    Even the WHO does not advise mandatory mask wearing by healthy members of the public:

    https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/...=1&isAllowed=y

    They have a very long list of problems and risks caused by mask wearing. However, the Government even ignores them in their determination to dictate and to control us.

    As well as acting illegally in bringing in a law that is very harmful to health, the Transport Minister has even acted illegally in his method of making this law. This is because he brought it in as a Statutory Instrument under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984, which has been used by this Government as an Enabling Act and a way to bypass Human Rights Legislation, Parliamentary scrutiny, and a requirement for 'emergency' legislation to be both proportionate and temporary. Twelve months with a review before 6 months can hardly be described as temporary!

    Further, he announced it on 4th June and then waited until 14th June to actually legislate to avoid having to lay it before Parliament. He then falsely used section 45R of the 1984 Act to claim that he had to pass it urgently.

    Default Re: The face mask discussion

    My response to senator beyer's response.

    Quote Dear Senator Beyer,

    Thank you so much for your opinion, I know you are a busy man, and I appreciate your time. Could you offer some links to support your position?

    Surely you know the CDC does not require face masks. Do you have credentials that outweigh the CDC? Do you believe that the United States Governors have the authority to mandate such an action?

    Sincerely, Charles Wyatt

    Charles,

    I disagree. You can voluntarily stay away from others without a mask and choose not to potentially infect them. However, the health experts have opined that wearing a mask is the best way to protect people in public places. It's common sense. Think about and respect those around you, especially those who are elderly or have comprised systems. It doesn't take much to wear a simple mask and it may save someones life.
