CA Gov. Newsom Doubles Down on Double Masking as Texas Lifts Mask Order
‘The proof that masks do any good is far weaker than almost anyone understands’

As Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced the total reopening of his state and lifted its face mask rule this week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom doubled down on ludicrous, and called Abbott “reckless.”
Other governors and Mayors in the U.S. also re-opened or loosened COVID-19 restrictions despite cries from public health officials not to. President Joe Biden criticized the re-openings and no-mask orders calling the governors “Neanderthals.”
I just announced Texas is OPEN 100%.
EVERYTHING.
I also ended the statewide mask mandate.

At a press conference Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom deflated any hope for Californians saying that even though some states have decided to relax their mask rules, Californians should double up on face masks, the LA Times reported.
Absolutely reckless. https://t.co/3O5GsbSLpM

“We will not be walking down their path. We’re mindful of your health and our future,” he said, once again ignoring actual science. Democrat governors and their dutiful public health officials are doubling down on mandatory masks wearing, despite a great deal of medical evidence showing they do not prevent wearers from catching respiratory infections.
Even as hospitalizations and deaths have dropped, Gov. Newsom had his Public Health Secretary issue a new mandate that all residents must wear face masks, at indoor functions, and outdoors in crowds. “Even when you’re at home, there are times when a higher level of protection is important,” the CDPH mask order says.
As the Globe reported this week, journalist Alex Berenson’s Unreported Truths About Covid-19 and Lockdowns: Death Counts, Lockdowns, and Masks… reported on the science of mask wearing and clinical trials, and concludes:
“The theoretical evidence that cloth and surgical masks do not protect their wearers is overwhelming. But we have even stronger evidence. It comes from real-world clinical trials of people wearing masks. Medical proof comes in many different forms. The weakest evidence comes from anecdotes based on one person’s experience. Just because I didn’t have an accident after driving drunk doesn’t mean doing so is safe. On the other hand, the gold standard of evidence comes from what scientists and physicians call randomized controlled trials.”
“Clinical trials consistently find that masks don’t protect people from respiratory viruses.”
The California Department of Public Health’s latest mask order said double masking “is an effective way to improve fit and filtration.”
“‘Double masking’ is an effective way to improve fit and filtration. A close-fitting cloth mask can be worn on top of a surgical/disposable mask to improve the seal of the mask to the face. Layering more than two masks is not recommended as this could be difficult to breathe through. Also, it is not recommended to wear two medical masks, or to wear a medical mask on top of a KN95 or an N95. Double masking may be appropriate where improved fit and filtration are especially important, and some situations where this may be considered are listed below.”
Regardless of the mask type, it is only effective if it is worn over your mouth and nose.
The CDPH “guidance” is the opposite of what practicing medical professionals and scientists recommend.
“The proof that masks do any good is far weaker than almost anyone understands,” Berenson says. “For months, public health experts have proclaimed, ‘My mask protects you, while yours protects me.’ Governments all over the world now make people wear face coverings in public.
As the Globe noted, mask wearers clearly believe wearing a mask is a symbol of social responsibility. And the fear they have of contracting or being accused of spreading coronavirus.
Berenson reported that many health experts found, “Standard cloth and surgical masks offer next to no protection against virus-sized particles or small aerosols.” This means “…the worst reason of all is that mask mandates appear to be an effort by governments to find out what restrictions on their civil liberties people will accept on the thinnest possible evidence.”

Yea, right, Newsom, you moron. No one is listening to you. We are counting the days until you are gone.
Clown show. I’m just going to pretend I’m in a state like Texas or South Dakota. Nothing Hair Gel says is relevant, anyway. Let’s just all ignore him and live our lives. Sound good?
Sounds great, K.
He just can’t help himself, can he. What a passive-aggressive, narcissistic, arrogant, tyrannical little twit he is. One last thing, though, before we ignore him completely. Get those signed petitions in, if you haven’t already. The campaign would like them all in by March 10 if at all possible:
https://recallgavin2020.com/petition/
Or find a permanent or pop-up signing location near you.
Find the info at the website, under “Action.”
Showandtell you took the words right out of my mouth, totally agree! I took my four year old unmasked grandson to the park yesterday and there were a group of kids that kept running from him like he had the plague. They (approx 8 year olds) would yell, come on, don’t play with the kid without a mask. It broke my heart in more ways than one! Look what an awful situation Newsom has created for innocent children, more bullying. Yippee.
Oh dear. Yes, look what Newsom has done to innocent children’s lives. It’s wrong.
Since COVID can appear in feces, it’s clear to me that we need DOUBLE BUTT MASKS. One mask must press firmly against the anus. The second mask is to hold it in place and secure the fit. You must poop through the mask to stop the spread. Mandatory skid mark inspections in order to enter public places. This threat will not end until we give everybody a colostomy. Don’t worry though, we will have giant honey bear window decals with rainbow colored colostomy bags because that also shows support for the LGBT community somehow. Then we will upload your colostomy data to a digital wallet to protect your privacy. Everybody must double-butt-mask with no questions EVER, or else we will kill some old people in nursing homes to make our point.
Even after you’ve had your mandatory colostomy, you will still need to wear double-butt-masks, because Dr. Fauci and Dr. Ghaly are into that kind of thing.
Masking and PCR testing comprise an IQ test. The lowest IQs do it because they don’t realize the political game, and there are many more dummies in California and in America than anyone has ever realized. California, being the worst state in America for education, meets the moron IQ standard.
In other news Newsom announces his new mosquito control plan. Double chain link fences.
Ha! I believe it.
This is a psyop. It’s classic divide and conquer and completely orchestrated by the national security state. Gavin Newsom is an intelligence asset, and so is Greg Abbot. Their intelligence handlers are coordinating the mask-moves in tandem, and the idea is to get folks to dig in with their us-v-them ideology which keeps the public fighting each other instead of the national security state which is screwing them with this massive Corona intelligence operation. It has nothing to do with rationality, but there are very few media outlets that are not controlled by the national security state.
The “script” of Corona is “Let’s give everyone AIDS.” It’s an intelligence agency in-joke, and all the propaganda is drawn from the AIDS psyop. The intelligence agencies are laughing at the public for buying the BS. The double masking thing is based on condoms: “Double bagging” – and they say N95 and KN95 because during AIDS, the whole condom thing was based around N-9 spermicide coated condoms. Think about it: the intelligence agencies actually got gay men to wear condoms by telling them there was a deadly virus out there (that has never been purified, isolated, or proven to exist). Did anyone pay attention to the mRNA vaccine and note it uses reverse transcriptase just like retroviruses – they are giving everyone the “HIVe Mind.”
Having a lot of money and associating with people who have a lot of money does not make one smart.
Hollywood: please note.
The fact that this @$$ Newsom is still pushing this mask mandate after the unmasked French Laundry party is the ultimate in hypocrisy. And it’s amazing how many people don’t know about it. I wear a mask when I go to the store but I don’t wear one until I get to the door and I take it off as soon as I’m out the door. I got into a somewhat heated argument with a “male Karen” the other day as I was maskless in the parking lot who shouted to me to put my mask on. I told him the Governor does not wear one why should I? I told him about the French Laundry and he told me I was full of BS. That was the end of it but I have heard of other times where those situations become elevated. So sad.
John, it’s disturbing to hear that there are still idiots out there who are in denial about Newsom. Wow.
Hey Newsom – stick THIS in your double mask…

More grist for the psyop mill…
Since New York is distracting from nursing home deaths via sexual assault cases. Maybe we should see how California faired with that same policy enacted by Newsom. Hmmm???
