Stress, Fear, and Uncertainty
Today the British Columbia Public Health Officer lifted the mask mandate in the province. Today I went shopping and noticed more people with than without masks. Today I thought I was done with the stress of the pandemic (or, as I like to think, scamdemic) since now I wouldn’t feel like a criminal going into stores without a mask as I’ve done and felt over the past several months.
However, seeing these poor souls with lifeless stares from their eyes with masks pulled up to their eyeballs reminded me that my stress was not over.
On the contrary, these people prolong my stress because I can see the fear in their eyes, their cry for help. Not only are these masked people donning their facial covers indoors, but there are also many of them outdoors still.
Someone posted an image of a woman donning a mask written with “ Not afraid, well-informed.” No, hon, you are not well-informed. You are terrified because you have been inundated with fear messages to which you succumbed over the past two years.
The uncertainty for many people today is that they cling to what they believe has kept them “safe” over the past two years. But, of course, these are the same people who will tell you they followed the science brought to them by mainstream media.
They have not read a single scientific report on the benefits of masks (most reports tell us masks do not prevent illness, and the reports that tout the benefits of mask-wearing have flawed research in low numbers of participants, inadequate control groups, mixed mask conditions, inconsistent usage, etc.).
They have not read a single report on the adverse effects of vaccinations (Pfizer recently released its report identifying about 1,300 adverse reactions).
They have not listened to a single source telling them that COVID-19 has a 99% survival rate and about 94% of deaths (i.e., 94% of one percent) had 2.6 comorbidities.
I could provide links to all these reports, but those who already know this information have researched the reports, and those still wearing face masks today will not click on the links. They are afraid of what the data will tell them.
To all those still clinging to their face coverings, know that uncertainty is only a state of your mind, and one of the best ways to achieve peace of mind is to let go of your uncertainty and fear.
Your mask is not helping you. It is only hindering your mental health. It is also preventing all of society from returning to normal.
Let it go. Show your face. Be normal again.
