May Your Chains Set Lightly Upon You

So, apparently the "experts" are now admitting that the mandated masks have never been about stopping the virus, since they don't, but about instead controlling people. Kylee Zemple, has the story at The Federalist entitled Health 'Experts' Finally Admit Mask Control People Not Viruses.

We’ve been censored. Hollered at by Karens in the grocery store and sometimes even outdoors. We’ve been lectured, demonized, scoffed at, and called murderers and rubes — all for the sin of ignoring mask security theater and daring to show the lower half of our faces in public. That’s why it’s just remarkable to hear the experts now admit that the same face coverings required in so many establishments and localities are not stopping any virus from spreading.

This is now the wisdom imparted by the experts, that the sweaty, flimsy, itchy muzzles that have been forced on schoolchildren, healthy athletes, socially distant employees, grocery-shopping moms, and even their toddlers are “not appropriate.” They’re nothing more than “facial decorations” against a virus that’s in the air and can’t be contained.

The information has been out there since the beginning. Fauci, in fact initially told the truth. But then someone told him that gee, let's see how many people can be scared into wearing a soggy face diaper. It has been both eye opening, and incredibly disappointing. I thought my fellow citizens were an independent bunch. But what I find is that a sizable number of them live in fear, and are willing to hand over their lives to authorities that have no clue. I am reminded here of a quote by Sam Adams:

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
