That’s so much better, isn’t it? It is technically because some localities won’t play along with Dr. Fauci’s heavy-handed totalitarianism. Of course, next, he’ll recommend a national mask mandate.

“I don’t like to be authoritarian from the federal government, but at the local level, if governors and others essentially mandate the use of masks when you have an outbreak, I think that would be very important,” Fauci told Alabama Sen. Doug Jones during a Facebook live event in July.

Until now.

“Well, if people are not wearing masks, then maybe we should be mandating it,” Fauci told CNN’s Erin Burnett Friday.

Right. Mandate the masks that do nothing to stop the virus (which still hasn’t been identified, isolated, or sequenced, and which appears to be lowering total deaths in the US for 2020) while causing numerous health problems – some of them very serious like cancer or brain damage. The masks make you sick.

You may hear people saying that surgeons and nurses wear masks like this all day. Um, no. No they don’t. They’re trained in the proper use of masks, which is to wear them in the OR, then dispose of the mask when they leave that room. Are you aware that operating rooms are actually supplied extra oxygen, to compensate for the reduction in oxygen flow from mask wearing? To my mind, it’s criminal (not hyperbole) to force children to wear masks all day. Setting aside the very real psychological effects, we’re going to have a generation of brain damaged children. Ever heard the expression, “Not enough oxygen at birth?” That’s a joke at the expense of a mentally challenged person, but that’s literally what we’re doing. And we’re told it’s to “keep us safe”! We’re told this by doctors who actually don’t know about PPE and laypeople who have no clue.

We have more than enough brain damage as-is. Someone get Fauci some supplemental oxygen quickly!
