Three cheers for the Daviess County Commissioners who have refrained from imposing a mask mandate upon us all. While we appreciate the intent and purpose of the Health Department Mask Advisory, our family’s research has led us to another conclusion.
This website brought to you in part by the following sponsor:
Numerous studies have shown that masks do not prevent the transmission of viruses.
They are so small, mask wearing has been compared to trying to stop mosquitoes with a chain link fence. Most mask packages have a disclaimer that they do not stop viruses.
A study was recently conducted on hospitalized COVID patients in which it was found that 70% reported wearing a mask all of the time. Another 14% said that they wore a mask often. Yet only three percent claimed they never wore a mask. If 84% of hospitalized COVID patients wore masks all of the time or often prior to becoming sick, it seems that mask wearing might ironically be more dangerous than we originally thought.
It is also reported that masks are causing an increase in viral pneumonia cases, as well as many other health and dental problems. It stands to reason that a person with a head cold could be inhaling into his lungs a lot of the pathogens that the body is trying to expel from the sinuses.
The bottom line is that the science on masks, vaccines, and lockdowns is not at all settled and we should all be able to choose. If the slogan, “My body, my choice” ever had valid application, it would be here.
We are very blessed to have County Commissioners who respect our God-given right of bodily autonomy. It’s just one of the many blessings of living in a rural community where the Golden Rule is still meaningful.
