The "mask religion" is no real mystery. Masks have come to represent POWER for the Liberals. The power to coerce and control individual citizens on a micromanagement level. They have said so. Fauci said you have to wear a mask, quote, "To show you care." Biden said he is wearing a mask, "To make a statement." Neither of the reasons has anything to do with the COVID virus. Both of these are political reasons, not medical or public health reasons.
The Democrats are desperate to keep COVID going forever, or at least until the next national election. That way they can continue with their 'mail in voting' scam.
What the Democrats are selling is nonsense, and more and more people are catching on.
If masks work, then why social distancing?
If social distancing works, then why masks?
If the vaccine works, then why are you required to continue to live as if you never got the vaccine?
None of these questions has a logical scientific 'medical' answer. Like everything with Democrats, COVID is all about politics and power. Nothing more than that. In reality, as demonstrated so clearly by Cuomo, Democrats don't give a damn how many people die as long as it helps them maintain their newfound fascist political power.
Unless there is a real public revolt, the Democrats will keep the COVID panic going for at least the next 20 years.
