It was pretty funny last night to watch the Mecklenburg County Commissioners (all Demos, of course), now rail against the mask mandates that they themselves enacted, saying they need to be lifted ASAP, because the #science has changed regarding cloth masks.
The #science has not changed. Cloth masks are, and have always been, useless. Those are the facts, and have been understood by anyone with a brain for years. Anyone who now, or at any point in time, has thought otherwise is nothing short of a fucking idiot. Unless a city/county/state-wide mask mandate has been for an N95 mask, which none have been, mask mandates have been nothing more than feel-good optics. As I have said on here for years, they are the placebo effect at its finest relative to N95 masks.
The problem with this con job that the WFHElite quickly fell for is that it undermined the credibility of the actual preventative measures. Because the cloth mask mandates were so blatantly useless, it created the corresponding sense of doubt about the vaccines in many people who realized the fallacy. When there are two main prongs of attack, and one of them is so obviously false, it is tough for most people to trust the other. Not to mention the selective enforcement (clearly you can't catch Covid with 100,000 other maskless people at the Super Bowl, but goddamn it cover your nose with a cloth mask with the 20 other kids in your classroom who are at virtually no risk for anything).
But it is good to see the Commissioners finally, 2+ years later, accepting the #science. They will be conned again soon, of course, because stupid is as stupid does.
But at least for now they have finally caught up to reality.
