    Was at a shipper today where I had to open the doors to my trailer before entering the facility and then had to remain inside the truck the entire time.

    I very nearly had an accident backing because I was not allowed to get out and look.

    So much for reasonable “safety”

    Screw masks. If masks worked we wouldn’t be seeing cases rising. If you have a mask on don’t worry about my face. Nobody can force you to cover your face. Whether you don’t like them for personal reasons, health reasons, you aren’t buying the BS... whatever. I know several people with PTSD for example who can’t wear a mask. I know a woman who was sexually assaulted and can’t cover her face. Psychological reasons are real. Who cares why someone doesn’t want to wear a mask. If you have a beard a mask will do nothing. It doesn’t seal against your face. Most people don’t even put them on or take them off correctly. People need to resist this BS. NO GOVERNMENT OR PERSON CAN FORCE YOU TO COVER YOUR FACE.

    ***We need to fight this BS now.***

    Facts:
    .003% death rate.
    99.997% survival rate. (Source CDC)
    CDC study: only 4% of unmasked got covid.
    CDC study: majority over 50% of always wear a mask got covid.
    Tests have up to a 90% false positive rate.
    You are doing permanent harm wearing a mask long term for hours a day.
    Numerous studies out before covid say masks do not work even in sterile hospital settings. (Now censored and banned online.)
    Last week the CDC reported 2801 deaths.
    Population of America is 328 MILLION.
    CDC admitted less than 10% of covid deaths died of covid. They only died with covid.
    Vast majority of people who die were... DYING.

    Personally I think masks are BS and might be making things worse. Breathing in your own exhaled air over and over is not good and that moist air is a breeding ground for the virus. Cali even had the balls to say do not wear a mask for wildfire smoke. So if a mask can’t filter wildfire smoke how is it going to filter a tiny virus particle? Dentists are seeing increased gum disease and cavities from wearing masks. Docs are seeing faces with acne and everything else from being covered all day.

    Has anyone thought maybe instead of the covid you think you have maybe it’s bacterial pneumonia from wearing a mask all day? Tests are inaccurate. Hospitals have a financial incentive to call you a covid case.

    Think people! None of this makes any sense. None of what they tell us makes any sense. This isn’t about a virus. It’s about your subjugation. Your submission.

    Finally. How long are you going to wear a mask? Forever? Waiting on that vaccine? They just came out and said even with vaccines you’ll have to distance and wear a mask! Covid antibodies don’t last in studies meaning the vaccine won’t work. Vaccines have side effects. Finally there has never been a vaccine for a coronavirus. The quickest vaccine ever developed was in 7 years. Average is like 15 years. No way they developed this thing in less than one year. So ask yourself why are they so anxious to inject you with a vaccine for a virus with a .003% death rate?

    Me I choose life and liberty. I’m not living in a world where I am forced to wear a mask. The second amendment is my license. So you all do whatever you want, I’m not complying and I won’t.

    wearing a mask should be a personal choice. As I said if they work then it shouldn’t matter if anyone around you has one on. Your mask should be working and apparently it’s not!

    people have been wearing them for 6 months and supposedly cases are rising. They obviously don’t work. Since the unmasked aren’t dead yet they aren’t needed.

    if you want to wear one go ahead. But nobody can force someone to cover their face. It’s about subjugation and submission. Out with the old world and in with a New World Order.

    it’s not conspiracy. That’s what it is. Thanksgiving gone. Christmas gone. Social interaction gone. They do this same crap to POWs and prisoners in isolation. It used to be called torture. Now it’s the new normal.

    Beat down the people enough and they'll do anything to get just a tiny little slice of freedom back.

    On a side note, just read an article today. Influenza infections are reportedly down 97-99% this year. Wonder why THAT is? :rolleyes:

    Vaccines don’t defeat a virus, it mitigates the symptoms.

    being exposed to it let’s it work through a group or population and go dormant.

    Incorrect. MMR/polio vaccine is what led to those diseases being wiped out in America.

    Two separate ideas there. You’re referencing herd immunity which is achieved through exposure to the virus itself or a vaccine. The nasal swab tests are useless as well as they don’t establish if you’ve ALREADY been exposed to it. They only indicate an active infection. This is the heart of my point of the masks and social distancing being pablum for the masses. They are a placebo at best and a power grab at worst. Their so called quarantines are similar. Travel advisories are everywhere in multiple states but truck drivers are exempt?!?! So if I’m in GA and go back home I’m just to tell my family and friends, “No worries folks, I’m exempt from the virus and quarantine rules because I’m a truck driver and I told that nasty mean virus that”. Utter nonsense. Follow the science indeed! They only follow the science when it suits their narrative.

    There are no “better methods”. There is vaccination or exposure. This is what I mean about lack of scientific knowledge. Those are the only two options to control a virus. Vaccination or exposure. The “not giving it anyone to latch onto” is herd immunity achieved through exposure.

    I am just an old retired Trucker. I am not a Pathologist or otherwise an expert in the study of infectious diseases. I am also at serious risk when it comes to things like Covid and even things like the flu. I also can report several deaths in 2020 of friends from what is being reported as caused by or complicated through Covid. On the subject of masks, I am not an expert! Since none of us to the best of my knowledge are pathologists or infectious disease experts I suspect ALL of us are just repeating those that say they are. I can't afford to take a chance, therefore I generally have self quarantined and wear a mask when I am forced to go out. I will say this and stand on it. History will be severely unkind to the people that are wrong with regard to Covid. Yes, in my view some of this reeks of politics. But as I said, what do I know? I'm just an old retired trucker!
