The only thing a government needs to turn people into slaves is fear. If you can find something to make them scared, you can get them do anything that you want. Quote by unknown author Flashy paid propaganda sells fear and panic. The worst thing is to let someone else control how you think or use your critical independent thinking skills; a person's right to choose what is best for themselves is inherent in the U.S. Constitution Bill of Rights even in national emergencies. There's no cure for AIDS, Typhus, The Plague, Cancer, TB, or Hepatitis, people never wore masks nor did states lockdown during those eras. People have the right to be free globally. MTD bus drivers regularly degrade and yell at patrons if the mask slips below nose to drink water or sneeze are subjected to humiliation and dehumanization. It's not the bus driver's job to stop or miss stops over a mask on a paying patrons face.
