This has been "the science" for the past two years

This lengthy list of absurdities is what authoritarians and journocels¹ — professional propagandists — have foisted on you as The Science:

• Wearing masks from restaurant door to table protects us.
• Masks aren't necessary while taking pictures.
• Rulers only wear masks when on camera, but servants must wear masks at all times.
• Natural immunity doesn't exist.
• Non-COVID-19 health outcomes don't matter.
• Teachers, school board officials admins and people right outside the school or after school are immune without a mask, but kids at desks for 8 hours a day must mask.
• You only need to wait two (more) weeks to go back to normal.
• You must take 2, 3, 4 injections or else you're killing grandma and must be forced to stay at home.
• The death rate for the virus is 30%.
• Putting a cloth on your face prevents you from getting or transmitting a virus.
• People who surrender to Big Pharma treatments must retain privileges —formerly rights — that people who don't surrender were stripped of.
• If you are not on board with the whole psychotic program, then you are anti-science and an enemy of humanity.

It's a cult.
