00:00Your nose is covered, your mouth is covered, your chin is covered.
00:06I don't wear a mask for the same reason I don't wear underwear.
00:10Things gotta breathe.
00:12At least wear the mask so you don't infect more people.
00:17Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.
00:33There is an ongoing debate about the use of masks at the community level.
00:38We are demanding that we get all the hoarded supplies that exist
00:42of PPE so that we can protect ourselves, our families,
00:46and our beloved patients and communities.
00:49We can't do it if we're dead.
00:53There's a big bias on face masks.
01:11What would people gain from wearing a mask and why are you opposed to wearing one yourself?
01:15I just don't want to wear one myself.
01:17It's a recommendation.
01:18They recommend it.
01:20You see all these commercials on TV, we thank you to our heroes, thank you to the nurses,
01:27thank you to the doctors, thank you to the transit workers, thank you to the police officers.
01:32And we should be thankful, right?
01:35They went to work so all of us could stay safe and go home.
01:38You really want to say thank you?
01:40Then respect them and respect their job and wear the mask so you don't infect people.
01:45This is insane, this is insane.
01:49I would also like to know where do you get the authority to reduce my oxygen?
01:54I am not a sex slave that wears masks.
01:59I am not into sadomasochism and bondage.
02:06I think it's a great thing to wear a mask.
02:08I've never been against masks, but I do believe they have a time and a place.
02:13When they say put it on, what do we do?
02:15Put it on!
02:27You can't have a mask like this, you can't have a mask underneath your chin, you can't
02:30have a mask off to the side.
02:32Technically, these shorts are not allowed at my school because by a rule of hand, she
02:36is not following the fingertip rule.
02:39On July 15th, our school district decided that it wasn't going to require masks in our
02:46five schools.
02:47If you can, as a school district, say you can't wear these pieces of clothing because
02:54you're not wearing a mask, then you're not wearing a mask.
02:57If you, as a school district, say you can't wear these pieces of clothing because they're
03:02supposedly distracting, then why can't you tell us to put on another piece of clothing?
03:08It just didn't make any sense.
03:09I am discriminated against every single day in my county now.
03:14Sometimes multiple times a day.
03:18I'm told, stand back.
03:22Stand back.
03:24Ma'am, ma'am, excuse me, ma'am, you have to wear a mask.
03:30And the best one, leave.
03:34I'm treated, we are treated worse than second-class citizens.
03:39Please, dear God, Johnson County, could we please tell the world we believe in science?
03:50Face masks, these face masks are the most important, powerful public health tool we have.
03:55And I will continue to appeal for all Americans, all individuals in our country,
04:01to embrace these face coverings.
04:02I might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me
04:09against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine.
04:13They do not protect you from a dangerous virus.
04:18They don't do anything because as the science says, they do not do anything even
04:25as Fauci said it in the beginning.
04:27And it changes the weather in the U.S. because this is all about COVID.
04:31No more masks.
04:32No more masks.
04:34They don't do anything.
04:35A lot of folks are hearing now about double masking, wearing two masks or trying to get
04:42one of those N95 medical grade masks.
04:44Do you believe that that's?
04:46You know, it likely does, because, I mean, this is a physical covering to prevent
04:52droplets and virus to get in.
04:55So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes
05:00common sense that it likely would be more effective.
05:03And that's the reason why you see people either double masking or doing a version of an N95.
05:12The new strains emerging create immense challenges, and masking is still the easiest thing to
05:22do to save lives.
05:25But we need everyone to mask up.
05:27I know it's a pain in the neck, but it's a patriotic responsibility.
05:32It's a patriotic responsibility.
05:35Do you think Americans will still be wearing masks, for example, in 2022?
05:40You know, I think it is possible that that's the case.
