What a very chilling report - thank you.

Of course, experts at the Occupational Health agencies (before they were coerced in 2020) apply science based protocols as to function for which a mask is required, training (e.g. doctors) on how to wear them, the harms masks generate if inexpertly used, etc, etc.

The more people who can avoid the pervy tyrants, the better.

That's funny. Homeschooling's a crisis, all right: for the kakistocracy and its parasites.

As for masks, they're fetishized by surgeons and OR personnel and the public would be aghast at the idea of surgeons operating without them, but at least one university study found that if the goal is to minimize the transfer of bacteria *to* patients, surgeons should operate naked. Skin cells carry bacteria, and they're sloughed off by the friction from clothing in far greater numbers than they are when someone's nude. But the point of surgical PPE is not to protect patients from surgeons. It's to protect surgeons from the bacteria borne in the patient's blood, feces, peritoneal fluid, etc. If surgical masks are for the patients' protection and not the doctors', medical examiners wouldn't wear them. And until 2020 when everyone lost their minds, no one ever used them in medical settings to protect anyone from viruses. Besides: Surgeons religiously believe that if they raise their hands above their nipples or lower them below their waists, they've broken the sterile field and have to go rescrub. That's why if they're not operating they stand around with their hands clasped above waist level, or tuck their hands under their elbows, against their bodies. It makes no sense unless you believe that germs respect an invisible barrier that also varies with the height of the OR personnel.

One of my favorite things about leftists is how they reject objective moral standards as lacking "nuance" while completely eliminating nuance and context from everything they propose and believe. Welders, fencers, and American football and baseball players don't wear masks. They wear helmets and/or face shields to protect their heads and eyes from impacts, thrown objects, or light. Scuba divers wear masks for one reason: so they can see under water. And there's a big difference between putting a screen over your face so your eyes aren't gouged out with a metal stick, and slapping on a slave rag to signal your obedience to insane people.

(As always when the subject of government schools comes up, I recommend that people check out Ayn Rand's essay The Comprachicos. It's an excellent examination of the motives behind public schooling. Spoiler: It's not benevolent.)
