Unmasking Statist, Socialist Propaganda About ‘Face Masks'

[Townhall] Some clear thinking is required to counter incessant, statist propaganda against the use of N-95 filtering facepiece respirators, to protect against the spread of the novel coronavirus.

The message has been seconded at every turn by the Center for Disease Control, a cumbersome bureaucracy, which tightly controls both testing capacity and criteria. Such centralization is everywhere and always detrimental to the screening and segregating of the infected, and, ultimately, to disease containment.

The State and the agents of America’s highly centralized healthcare system categorically don’t want the citizen to purchase "face masks." The surgeon general is already "warning Americans" to stop exercising their sovereignty as consumers and quit buying face masks.

Hence the incessant, near-neurotic discrediting of N-95 respirators, which, by previous CDC accounts, can be protective.

Before the outbreak of COVID-19, on its website, the CDC answered the following question:

"What makes N-95 respirators different from facemasks sometimes called surgical masks?:

#5 People are discouraged to buy these masks because there is a shortage.

They are not useless when in close contact with other people, e.g. in crowds.

You don't need them when you're just walking in the street.
