THE NEURO-SEMANTICS BEHIND MASKING

Behind every experience, every activity, every event—there are meanings and where there are meanings there are elicitations of neurology. So now that the governments which forced us to wear masks have ended “the mask mandate,” what have we learned? What meanings have we discovered? Do masks work? Did the masks that we were forced to wear actually prevented the spread of Covid? The evidence that is now coming in suggests a strong negative answer. No, they did not actually work to limit the spread.

A lot of the confusion was and still is caused by the inept way governments attempted to communicate about covid. Most governments did an extremely poor job. For one thing, they over-promised. “Get the vaccine and you will not get covid.” That proved false. “Wear a mask and substantially reduce the spread of covid.” Again, that proved incorrect. Further, many governments took a very heavy-handed approach by punishing anyone who did not wear a mask, including firing them or jailing them. Then there was the man swimming in the ocean under a sunshine sky who was arrested for not wearing a mask—while swimming of all things!
