I have meant for awhile now to thank you,  thank you, thank you for introducing me to Peggy Hall’s blog and videos! As someone with respiratory issues myself, I have found her calm, intelligent, and feminine way of explaining the scientific and legal fallacies of forced general face mask wearing, has really helped me let go of the upset and anxiety I  feel about it, and to adopt a similar pleasant, fact-based response to folks in the marketplace, should I need to explain why I don’t wish to.

I’ll keep on sharing your informative posts with others.

Thank you again, and God’s blessings to you.

You’re welcome. Thanks for writing.

She’s awesome on the mask issue, a real bright spot in this unfolding nightmare.

I watched with interest the video of the above subject that you shared on your site.  It is refreshing to hear from yet another educated, articulate person the simple logic of why it is important to refuse, and continue to refuse, the ridiculous pressure to cover one’s face.  She had quite a list of reasons why it is not a good idea, even the fact that it symbolizes suppression of speech.  Of course, that is its true purpose.  It has never been about a scientific idea, merely an immature, emotional response to a situation that has been so greatly exaggerated that I believe many people have lost touch with reality.  If the mask wearers and mask pushers were interested in facts, they would have abandoned this outrageous idea day one.  As you have shared, and the speaker affirms, the CDC, OSHA, and many medical doctors and universities have spoken out against the mask, and yet it continues.  The concept is completely disconnected from a scientific (or legal) reality.  We are left with hysteria and bullying.

The speaker asked for examples of responses to those who wish to know why one isn’t wearing a mask.  Like the speaker,  I have been told, loudly, that the mask is not about protecting ME from others, but protecting THEM from ME.  I have pondered this, and have come to the conclusion that if I wear a mask that protects them, wouldn’t it by definition also protect me?  Or does the mask work only one way?  Which leads to the obvious question:  if my mask protects me (and them), and their mask protects them (and me), why can’t we each decide for ourselves whether or not to wear a mask at all?
