Everyone is already wearing a mask. They just don’t work.
Americans have exceeded universal masking benchmarks, but it has not slowed or stopped the spread of COVID-19.
One of the most common pro-mask arguments I’ve heard over the course of the past year, both from “public health experts” and your average citizen, sounds similar to the following statement:
“If only everyone would just wear a mask, we would be able to crush the virus and end the pandemic.”
This line of reasoning is frequently espoused by lockdown governors and “public health experts.” You see, the problem isn’t them, it’s you, the citizen, we’re told. Wear a mask, peasant. You’re the problem! You’re the reason why the pandemic is still a problem in this country.
Deaths up? Why aren’t you wearing a mask. Cases up? Wear a mask. Hospitals crowded? The problem is that not enough people are wearing masks, they claim.
The idea that not enough Americans are wearing masks is detached from reality. And we have the data to prove it.
The Delphi group at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a very informative, consistently updated mask compliance tracker. It shows that the overwhelming majority of Americans across the nation are wearing masks. And in virtually every major population center in the United States, especially in areas where COVID-19 cases are rising, mask compliance levels are off the charts high, with most major metro areas registering well over 90 percent compliance.
Early on in the pandemic, when the “new science” told us that masks could stop the virus in its tracks (after the science of early 2020, espoused by the likes of Fauci and many others, rightly pointed to the reality that masks are useless outside of a controlled setting), the CDC and other “public health agencies” claimed that we could essentially eliminate transmission if a large percentage of the population adopted universal masking.
When lockdowns failed to “stop the spread,” masking up at over 80% was hyped as a way to “do more to reduce COVID-19 spread than a strict lockdown.”
“Universal masking at 80 [percent] adoption flattens the curve significantly more than maintaining a strict lockdown," a much-hyped, highly publicized study, which was treated by many in the scientific community as the gospel, proclaimed.
“We will not only be able to flatten the curve, we will be able to significantly reduce the spread of the virus and return to life as normal sooner rather than later,” De Kai, a research scholar at Berkeley who helped develop the COVID-19 universal masking model, proclaimed.
With the help of the CMU mask compliance tracker, let’s take a look at the current COVID-19 hotspots in the United States and the level of mask compliance within these areas.
San Francisco metro area: 97% mask compliance
New York City metro area: 97% mask compliance
DC metro: 97%
Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington: 94%
Philly area: 96%
Chicago: 95%
Miami-Ft Lauderdale: 96%
Seattle: 96%
The data demonstrates very clearly that Americans have overwhelmingly exceeded the masking compliance percentages needed to supposedly “flatten the curve” and reduce transmission of the virus. The problem, of course, is that the models have not matched reality. Americans are wearing masks, but the hypothesis behind universal masking has not worked to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Americans have adopted the recommendations of the “public health experts,” but the “public health experts” have failed to follow the science, which now shows that masks are useless when it comes to stopping the spread of COVID-19. Now we’re left with an overwhelming majority of Americans wearing masks for no science-based reason whatsoever.

Excellent post, Jordan! My husband and I live in a town of about 30,000 in the Newssolini regime formerly known as the fabulous state of California. When we shop at places like Traitor Joe's without the muzzle (I did a huge amount of in-person and phone work to have them allow our "medical exemption," which is basically the right to breathe freely as the Creator intended), we are the ONLY two in the entire store. If that doesn't serve as testimony to "mask compliance," I don't know what would.
The whole CV-19 thing is one lie after another. What frustrates me the most is that, as many hours a day as people spend on social media, they can't take five minutes to research outside the mainstream narrative to assuage what MUST be at least a small voice questioning this stinking mess. Every day, I ask myself what I can do to help the blindly obedient ones to see the truth. I just keep showing up in my community without the Satanic ritual shame muzzle and posting comments on blogs like this!
A pandemic so dang deadly that it kills almost .00025% of the people who get it. And THAT's probably and exaggeration! And it has now been exposed that this year's death totals (death from ALL causes) are no different than last years, except we seemed to have wiped out most heart disease, pneumonia, diabetes and seasonal flu. Tiny miracles! (sarcasm) I am so dissapointed in the human race.
