This was one of the first red flags in the pandemic to me.

The Italian Lifter was a fairly prolific poster on the board. He had been posting less and less but comes on one day with a woeful ballad about Covid and how the streets were lined with the dead and bodies were piling up. He concluded with a warning for getbiggers to take this seriously and heed his advice.

Then another board member (can't remember who) says : what part of Italy are you in?

Italian Lifter posts the name of his town and the other member says 'I live about 10 miles away from there and I have family that lives there and it's nothing at all like you're describing it.' I think he says he drove through the town just a few days earlier and everything was fairly normal-all things considered.

Lifter responds with another cryptic warning then never posts again.

The other guy directly called him out and he went silent and has remained silent ever since.

At the time I had no idea what we were looking at. A plague of Justinian levels? The casualties of the great influenza? AIDs? Worse?

I kept thinking about 28 Days later. When the black girl is saying: This was different.  It was on our televisions then it was on our front door. After a month, 2 months, 6 months goes I stopped worrying about it being at my doorstep. Here it is almost 3 years later and still waiting for it to show up.

Great post. Italian Lifter was so full of shit. He was lying - he was just lying. But that's what forced masking did - masks were only intended to be a visual reminder for the pandemic, and made the true believers think everyone was on their same page. That made them not only believe the lies, but even make up lies in their own minds.

After all, so many people believed in the pandemic, as evidenced by the masks, that it MUST be true, right?

And that's why I didn't wear a mask that whole. I knew this narrative would die as soon as the numerical minority of idiots who were scared [no matter how you cut it, under 50% of the population, even at its peak] didn't have the visual reminder of their delusion all around them.

And now, so few people are masked, that this narrative can't go anywhere.

Why this fake narrative was so successful to begin with is because they included "Covid deaths" of people with severe underlying disease. In the USA, 94% had significant underlying disease.

In total, under 66,000 Americans have died DIRECTLY of Covid. Average age = 84.

Had THAT number been reported, none of this BS would have EVER taken off.

The fraudulent death rally is what did it, and the forced masking, allowing mathematically illiterate idiots to think the whole population is as stupid as they are.

This isnt the only common-sense study that libturdz and VaxTurdz ignore:

Biggest morons in existence.



Gainesville, FL (June 16, 2021) – A group of parents in Gainesville, FL, concerned about potential harms from masks, submitted six face masks to a lab for analysis. The resulting report found that five masks were contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and fungi, including three with dangerous pathogenic and pneumonia-causing bacteria. No viruses were detected on the masks, although the test is capable of detecting viruses.

The analysis detected the following 11 alarmingly dangerous pathogens on the masks:

• Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumonia)

• Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis)

• Neisseria meningitidis (meningitis, sepsis)

• Acanthamoeba polyphaga (keratitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis)

• Acinetobacter baumanni (pneumonia, blood stream infections, meningitis, UTIs— resistant to antibiotics)

• Escherichia coli (food poisoning)

• Borrelia burgdorferi (causes Lyme disease)

• Corynebacterium diphtheriae (diphtheria)

• Legionella pneumophila (Legionnaires' disease)

• Staphylococcus pyogenes serotype M3 (severe infections—high morbidity rates)

• Staphylococcus aureus (meningitis, sepsis)

Half of the masks were contaminated with one or more strains of pneumonia-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with one or more strains of meningitis-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. In addition, less dangerous pathogens were identified, including pathogens that can cause fever, ulcers, acne, yeast infections, strep throat, periodontal disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and more.

The face masks studied were new or freshly-laundered before wearing and had been worn for 5 to 8 hours, most during in-person schooling by children aged 6 through 11. One was worn by an adult. A t-shirt worn by one of the children at school and unworn masks were tested as controls. No pathogens were found on the controls. Proteins found on the t-shirt, for example, are not pathogenic to humans and are commonly found in hair, skin, and soil.

A parent who participated in the study, Ms. Amanda Donoho, commented that this small sample points to a need for more research: “We need to know what we are putting on the faces of our children each day. Masks provide a warm, moist environment for bacteria to grow.”

These local parents contracted with the lab because they were concerned about the potential of contaminants on masks that their children were forced to wear all day at school, taking them on and off, setting them on various surfaces, wearing them in the bathroom, etc. This prompted them to send the masks to the University of Florida’s Mass Spectrometry Research and Education Center for analysis.
