Woman Reduced To Tears After Nurse Says Masks Are “Irrelevant”

A TikTok video of a woman breaking down into tears after being told that face masks were “irrelevant” has gone viral online.

The clip features an initially masked hospital patient discussing her recent trip to a clinic in Washington state. In the two-minute anecdote, the woman notes how she was given an extra face mask on leaving the hospital.

After she thanked the nurse for providing an extra mask, she was reportedly told “we could use less of them” by practitioners at the clinic, who also said they “were pointless”.

Despite the patient’s disbelief that masks were not required in an oncology and hematology infusion center, the nurse and three colleagues reiterated that masks had not been worn prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The woman, who said she was “not an oncology patient” but is “immunocompromised”, added she was “so floored” by the conversation before breaking down into tears (watch below):

When the clip made it to social media platform X, users noted how individual beliefs over the effectiveness of masks were largely dictated by mainstream media outlets.

One commenter praised the nurses from the clip.

For some, the TikTok video brought back dark memories of mask mandates during the pandemic.

The effectiveness of masks has long been disputed. In some instances, interpretation of studies and misinformation has prompted media outlets to overreport their usefulness, while their introduction alongside other preventative measures has boosted the true effectiveness of face coverings.

Anthony Fauci “Can’t Recall” How Six-Foot Social Distancing Came To Be

The former Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden is unable to recall the scientific evidence used to justify the six-foot social distancing guidelines which curbed civil liberties and crippled businesses.

Anthony Fauci, who served the President during the latter stages of the pandemic, appeared before lawmakers on Monday, June 3.

Prior to the hearing, Republicans released extracts from a House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic earlier this year, where Fauci said that the six-foot distancing rule “sort of just appeared”, adding that he was unable to recall the basis upon which it was introduced.

Fauci also stressed that he was “not aware” of studies which supported the implementation of social distancing, nor could he recall reading any specific information which supported the masking of kids. And, in a somewhat ironic response, Fauci said the effectiveness of masking children was still “up in the air”.

Studies by the National Institute of Health have found the negative impacts of compulsory face masks in schools and social distancing measures. The former was found to impact student’s literacy and learning abilities, while another study claimed social distancing measures had a profound affect on mental health.

The increased scrutiny on COVID restrictions have left many furious when reflecting on a difficult time for millions across the country.

Some echoed Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene’s line of questioning as to whether Fauci should be prosecuted for his role in the pandemic.

Others, however, noted that while Fauci made recommendations, the decision to implement them rested with Congress.

Justin Trudeau’s Brother Claims Public Officials Were “Salesmen” For Pharmaceutical Industry During COVID

Kyle Kemper, the half-brother of Justin Trudeau, claimed public officials – including the Canadian Prime Minister – were “salesmen for the pharmaceutical industry” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Kemper said his half-brother was “an amazing person” but added that “power in general” was being abused by the likes of Trudeau and President Joe Biden.

The fifty-minute interview began with a COVID discussion. Kemper told the former Fox News anchor that there was a “war on COVID” akin to the war on terror in the wake of 9/11. He also highlighted the constant “fear” around the virus before the persistent “hope” for the vaccine, claiming that “something [was] amiss”.

“And you see, all the sudden, public officials, like my brother, out there being effectively salesmen for the pharmaceutical industry,” Kemper said.

The father of five also criticized handling of counter information surrounding COVID. He explained how he was barred from Twitter for calling the jab “a fake vaccine” for its inability to completely stop transmission and infection after a “boasting tweet” by the Canadian Prime Minister about vaccination numbers.

Canada is set to hold a Federal Election before the end of 2024. Trudeau’s nine-year premiership is under threat from Pierre Poilievre’s rejuvenated Conservative Party, although Kemper believes his sibling is not seeking re-election given the “negative energy” in the country at present.

Following the interview, Kemper received compliments from social media users.

New Jersey Representative Humiliates Herself

New Jersey Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill told Donald Trump he was “not welcome” in the Garden State for his rally in Wildwood.

“Donald Trump, you’re not welcome in NJ. Because in the Garden State, we believe in democracy, we know that diversity is our strength, & we let women make their own healthcare decisions. Do us all a favor and go back to court,” she tweeted.

While much of his past month has been spent in a Manhattan courthouse, the former president addressed more than 80,000 supporters in Wildwood, and some estimates put the crowd size above 100,000. And that was blue New Jersey of all places.

Needless to say, Trump was more than welcome in the state.

While it may not have been the smartest decision to create such a post on X (formerly Twitter), it was perhaps equally mind-boggling that Sherrill left the post online. As of Tuesday morning, her announced banishment of Trump had amassed a mere 1,700 “‘likes”’” compared to the 19,000+ replies from dumbfounded observers.

Others called out the Democrat’s hypocrisy for her criticism over Trump’s stance on abortions given her silence on vaccination mandates in New Jersey.

Not the smartest move where the state’s motto is “liberty and prosperity”!

Bill Maher Blasts So-Called “Experts” for Getting COVID Wrong – But It’s His Comments About Trump That Are Making Some Furious

Bill Maher began a recent monologue with a damning indictment on the so-called “experts” who influenced early decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a five-minute monologue, the comedian opened Real Time by acknowledging that “some mistakes were inevitable” but criticized those who continued to blame a lack of understanding for the pandemic.

Maher criticized mask mandates across America, and expressed his view that schools should have remained open. In addition, he also said that risks from the vaccination were hidden from the public while lambasting those who enforced mandatory vaccination across the country:

His comments towards the end of the monologue, however, drew criticism. On the subject of inflation, Maher questioned as to why Americans sought to elect Donald Trump who “ignored COVID like it was the dinner check.”

And those Americans, who still possess common sense, had answers:

Others pointed out that Trump “didn’t ignore COVID”, but instead relied too heavily on the advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Federal Drug Administration.

Trump did issue a number of executive orders in response to the pandemic, and was quick to ban travel from China, the source of the virus, before the “experts” had even given that a thought.
