Masks for the Vaccinated Are Here

Remember a few months ago when Joe Biden told us that being vaccinated was the path to not having to wear a face mask? Remember how people believed this, despite the dozens of (often clearly intentional) lies told by the government since the start of the COVID era?

Now the CDC is reversing its earlier guidance – that vaccinated teachers and students could ditch the face mask – and will recommend that all students and teachers wear face masks regardless of vaccination status.

Let’s pretend for a moment that the CDC is actually trying to defend this decision scientifically. The rationale goes as such: Since now we understand that vaccination doesn’t prevent transmission but masks do, masks are still necessary to reduce the spread and stop people from getting infected.

Of course, the CDC’s position is scientifically absurd. A few months ago, we were told that we should get vaccinated for others – that a vaccinated person was much less likely to spread the virus. Thus, the medical decision to receive the vaccine (much like the choice to wear a face covering) was no longer a personal decision, but a public decision – one that now fell under the purview of the state instead of the individual. Yet the government’s desire to increase its grip of control didn’t change how viral spread actually works. Those who had a higher amount of immune defense against the virus (whether through prior infection, immune familiarity, or vaccination) simply weren’t becoming ill – they still were potential carriers of the virus. No amount of public masking or vaccination could stop the spread of the virus and the battle was still being waged in individuals based largely on the person’s general health and immune strength. Herd immunity still had to be achieved through individual immunity.

The truth behind this new guidance is much more sinister than simple scientific ignorance.

With this draconian, anti-scientific, “the beatings will continue until morale improves” move, the government is hoping to use this forced return to facelessness as a tool to put insurmountable peer pressure on the unvaccinated. They hope that the vaccinated who have lived the past few months with faces will become angry and focus their rage on those who have chosen to not yet receive a COVID-19 vaccine. These vaccinated ignoramuses will (the government hopes) grow shrill, claiming, “If only you people would get vaccinated, we wouldn’t have to wear masks again!”

Yet with mounting evidence indicating the (previously obvious) truth that being vaccinated doesn’t stop a person from spreading the pathogen to others (and it is indeed for the purpose of defending the vaccinated individual), the true purpose of the government’s vaccine push becomes clear. The true purpose is not public health, or even supporting the large pharmaceutical companies who donate large sums of money to vaccine-pushing politicians. The true purpose of anti-scientific “guidance” like this is to assert power over your life. Proponents of big government want to continue conditioning free citizens to accept more and more government control over their lives. Many people who become career politicians or bureaucrats believe they can make better decisions for your family than you can and will take every opportunity to make you believe this. Fear, coercion, social pressure, ever-changing scientific and epidemiological definitions – anything they can use they will use to make you submit. They will lie right to your face.

Do not, under any circumstances, submit. We’ve submitted too much already. We must tell them, “No further.”
