The apparent failure of this person (I don’t always read what gets posted here, it’s kind of baked into the title of the thread) gets to a continuing problem with the level of truthtelling on the left that does not get a free pass just because they’re not as bad as the Nazis.
This has been true of Maddow too, but going on for many more things. Advertising makes reporting corrupt. Period.
Honestly I’m a loon also but more along the clothes line. Heh. I dress up as expected when I go where there are other people but my actual clothes are…a little bit hermit weirdo. I was not bagging on loons.
What are the details of this outrage? “Despite having no authority, actual or apparent, under Florida law to do so, Defendant has recklessly required countless American citizens and Florida residents, including the Plaintiffs, to submit to dangerous medical treatments with well-known risks and potential for serious injuries and death, including being forced to wear harmful medical devices like masks. ” Emphasis added.
The real howlers, though, come in the discussion of “science,” a concept of which the plaintiffs are at best distantly aware. “Pandemics,” they say, “like the purported COVID-19 pandemic, are nothing new or novel.” Right. So this year is just like any other year, it’s just that there are a few hundred thousand fewer people around. (As I write, 580,038 fewer, 138,358 of those in the U.S.). They cite a few studies noting that masks provide imperfect protection, apparently believing “imperfect” means “no.” And against this questionable benefit, they say, behold the many risks these harmful medical devices pose. What are these risks?
Well, you might get a headache, according to one study they cite. That involved healthcare workers, who I believe wear masks for many hours at a time in highly stressful situations, but sure, it’d probably have the same effect on you while you walk through the clubhouse. We are also told that wearing a mask, and I am not making this up, “may cause physiological changes to the Nasal Cavity,” a Feature of such critical Importance that It must be capitalized. And if the Nasal Cavity is impeded, and one’s Mouth is also blocked by this device, then what? Well, the plaintiffs anticipated that some might not grasp this important point, and so, as the Law and Crime report puts it, in the complaint they “attempted a cursory explanation of breathing”
[H]umans necessarily use noses and mouths to breath [ sic ] by extrapolating [!] oxygen from air inhaled and then releasing toxins and carbon dioxide when exhaling–which is common knowledge and basic human science that is taught in grade schools in Palm Beach County and throughout Florida…. Restricting oxygen intake with a mask is a hazard for all who need fresh air to survive.
Fake news! Everybody knows that breathing is when the bad humors, which are the miasmas, are expelled by evil ghosts and are replaced with good humors, which are ice cream salesmen, that are shoved into the nose by the spirits of the æther.
I just love that they’re “explaining” to a judge something that they say is “taught in grade schools”… and then make all those mistakes. I mean, if there’s one time to absolutely double-check your work…
Also, from the Law and Crime report that’s mentioned:
Perhaps tellingly, the lawyers and the public interest law firm which filed the lawsuit didn’t bother asking for attorney’s fees.
The restaurant has a sign posted out front stating its position clearly: “No social conditioning. No oxygen deprivation mask. No latex dirty germ spreader.”
If it weren’t so damn serious, I’d be cracking jokes about them…
“That must be a killer restaurant”
“The food must be to die for”
etc…
