  1. Lies ! Lies! Lies! Lies!They are to confuse you! Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies! They are made to get you!

  2. Decades of research show masks have no bearing on viral transmission. These idiotic journalists majors are gaslighting.

  3. Masks donot work, and sick neighbors 2 yrs ago found out and 1 year ago, and now…..the majority of mask wearing people in 1918 ,died*

  4. I don't wear masks nor do I worry about the flu, cold or covid and that's because my immune system is so strong that I can get over the cold and flu just after 2 days and I still haven't had covid, yaay me!

  5. Anti maskers do not deserve to live

  6. When I see people wear masks I'm like what is wrong with you.

  7. Boy these rich and these Republicans just aren't going to stop attacking are they

    You vote for us or else huh

  8. All this fearmongering has brainwashed millions of Americans into docile sheep.

  9. Yes, mask work! I had to travel to Europe two weeks ago. I was always wearing a mask at the airports, in the airplanes and in public transportation. I didn’t get sick! The last 20 years every time I had to travel for so long and be in a airplane with all these other people and bacterias, I always got sick. Mostly I even had to take antibiotics to get better. But this time, wearing a mask, I didn’t get sick! So the rest of my life, I will always wear a mask when at airports, in airplanes, public transportation or in large crowds in closed rooms. 😷👍🏼

  10. It’s true mask still work and making people sick !!!!😂

    Honestly how many people were washing/ sanitizing them befor each use ? I would guess less then 50 percent of the population. How many kids were letting other kids use their masks?

  11. Mask dont wonk. We went years with mask on and everyone's immune system is shot because of which. Good job dumb government funded doctors and government. This is y'alls fault. Stop your lies. It will take the same time we wore mask to build our immunity back again. That's facts science facts.

  12. Yeah, nah my natural immunity is all I need.

  13. Oh boy! Now we have a "TRIPLEDEMIC"
    Sell your stocks!

  14. Masks don’t work!! My God will people understand the science????

  15. People are gathering 🤤

  16. Since all you care about is hating one another and killing with guns you do not value human life, and so, many of yours Will be taken. Good luck surviving this one 👌🏽

  17. Mask don't work……dang people are so stupid.

  18. Dr Fauci said himself that masks don’t work.

  19. At 70 and needing to take public transport periodically here in Florence, Italy, I am wearing my mask and will probably do it from now on. I haven't had Covid (also vaccinated and boosted). nor have I had a sniffle, cold or flu in 3 years and I like it that way!

  20. the democrat Govt allows millions of untested foreigners to flood across the border and spread through every corner of the USA. That does wonders for the tripledemic and hospitals. Democrats and the democrat Govt dont seem to care and dont want to restrict that. .they only want to lecture . control and restrict American citizens. What a joke. Wake up my fellow Americans.

  21. So after the mass 💉 the hospitals are flooded? Thats the opposite of what's supposed to happen

  22. The news is the reason for everything. They pushed re opening things during the 2nd month of pandemic. It never ended, and now we have a mega virus. Everyone is dumb and going to be sick 24/7.

  23. No they don't you literally went over this last year stop flip flopping

  24. What a joke it's normal to be sick in December

  25. I love seeing people drink, smoke and eat fast food. Y'all are not healthy. Get a grip ya'll

  26. Take a deep breath? Hilarious

  27. As a nurse I can tell you it’s all lies.

  28. I wear three plastic bags around my head and get them tight with rubber bands around my neck. Covid and oxygen free!

  29. Only far right highschool dropouts don't want to wear them. Let evolution weed them out of our gene pool.

  30. This was never about public safety it was about control.

  31. Masks work alright they work at controlling the sheep.

  32. So if someone wears a mask it allows you to see 2 out of 3?

  33. Oh yeah, we’ll then, you wear them. I’m getting on with my life. There are no guarantees in life. There is no guarantee that I won’t get a virus or sickness if I wear a mask, just like there’s no guarantee I won’t be killed by meteorite tomorrow.,

  34. 😷😷😷😷😷😷

  35. Yes masks still work…..at ruining your immune system. 🤷‍♀️

  36. If masks don’t work, why do surgeons use them? 🤔

    😷

  37. no they don"t its only to control people to where it

  38. It’s a shame that people need to be convinced to take care of their own health. 😳

  39. 2nd x Covid this year. Masks and hand sanitizer and vaccined/booster but people just have to crowd in on you in grocery checkout lines. If I was rich I would have someone do it for me.
