In this Big B File, I will be going over these\u2026.one by one\u2026 and showing you exactly how they are inconsistent and lacking of any common sense.<\/p>\n<p>First, the mask mandates\/edicts.&nbsp; All the health orders that say that you have to &#8220;Mask Up&#8221; or else raise a number of commonsense questions. For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/stlouiscountymo.gov\/st-louis-county-departments\/public-health\/covid-19\/public-health-orders\/face-covering-order\/\">mandates issued unilaterally<\/a> by Comrades Sam Page &amp; Tishuara Jones via their Health Departments (was killed by the St. Louis County Council the next day and had a TRO issued against it by a county Judge a few days later) says that &#8220;Face Coverings are required to be properly worn by all individuals ages 5 and older while in indoor and enclosed public buildings and spaces and public transportation vessels in St. Louis County.&#8221; &nbsp;Where the lack of common sense and the inconsistencies come in are in the exceptions and conditions, which raise the following questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em>The Order says that it only applies to <\/em>while in indoor and enclosed public buildings. So, does that mean that the COVID-19 virus infects someone while indoors only and not while outdoors? I thought that the virus infected people\u2026. regardless of whether the people are indoors or not. It is not exactly like the COVID-19 virus would stop at the door of ANY building.<\/li>\n<li><em>It says in these mandates\/edicts (in the list of exceptions) that people who are consuming food or drink, including for religious purposes do not have to wear a face covering or mask. What exactly is the difference between just sitting in the same exact area and being forced to &#8220;mask up&#8221; versus just sitting in the same area eating and\/ or drinking something. I would love to have someone satisfactorily explain the difference to me since the last time I checked, the COVID-19 virus (pick your variant as it all applies) doesn&#8217;t know the difference between whether someone is eating and not eating in the same area in the first place\u2026.it would infect them all the same.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The mandates\/edicts are saying that &#8220;Face Coverings are recommended in indoor private settings and crowded outdoor settings where there is close contact with other people who may not be fully vaccinated\u2026&#8230;&#8221; what is it going to matter whether you are 1, 3, 6, 9, or 12 feet away from someone because the last time I checked, the COVID-19 virus (pick your variant as it all applies) doesn&#8217;t know distance? It not like the COVID-19 virus will say &#8220;Hey, I am six feet away from Ms. Jones, so I cannot come any closer to her.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Comrades Sam Page and Tishuara Jones are issuing and\/or pushing for mask edicts\/mandates to where everyone has to &#8220;mask up&#8221; regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status and then, at the same time, constant complain that the rates of those who are vaccinated are low and why more people either don&#8217;t want to get the vaccine or are hesitant to get it. Well, let me ask you all this question\u2026\u2026 Why do you think that the rates of those who are vaccinated are low and why more people either don&#8217;t want to get the vaccine or are hesitant to get it? I can tell you that a majority of people, when they see political figures like Comrades Sam Page and Tishuara Jones doing to and forcing on the people of St. Louis County and St. Louis City, etc. two little questions keep coming up in our minds\u2026.<\/em>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Why the heck should we bother getting vaccinated if we&#8217;re going to be forced to &#8220;mask up&#8221; regardless? OR<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Are the COVID-19 vaccines really worth a hill of beans if we still have to mask up no matter what? After all, we were constantly told by Comrades Page and Jones etc. that if we were vaccinated\u2026. fully vaccinated for COVID-19\u2026. we wouldn&#8217;t have to wear a mask a.k.a. &#8220;mask up&#8221;.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\n<blockquote>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><em><strong>Via a government agency (let&#8217;s say in this example the health department<\/strong><\/em><em>) &#8211; In order to operate a business in St Louis County, a business with half that have a inspection by the County Health Department&#8230; No matter what type of business is it is. So, the health department could go into a business and either threatened their business license, conduct an unannounced health inspection claiming that they got an anonymous tip when they never did. For example, say to the Business &#8220;if you enforce our mandate, then we&#8217;ll pull your business license (or liquor license.&#8221; <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Withholding of grants, loans, and other funds<\/strong><\/em><em> &#8211; another way that the governmental entities&#8230; In this case Saint Louis County Health Department&#8230; would force business to enforce their mandates is to tell the business that if they do not enforce the mandate, the governmental entity will deny them any funds that are due to them as a result of legislation such as the CARES Act and other grants that were passed and enacted into law at the local, state or federal levels. There have been reports of this having occurred especially in St Louis County over the past year and a half or so.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<blockquote>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<p><em>Apparently, these corrupt authoritarian<\/em> thugs prefer to do all of their actions in the dark as sunlight definitely is a great disinfectant against people like this and corruption in general.
