The post below was written months ago. A week ago I returned from a 22 day European scouting trip for our documentary Angel Quest. During those days I mingled with thousands of people in airports and on planes, train stations and on trains, on ferries, in taxi-cabs, and at pilgrimage sites. I traveled from the U.S. (Detroit and Boston) to Ireland, England, France, Italy, Greece, and Israel, back to London and then to Detroit in the U.S. Almost no one anywhere I went wore a mask. I never wore a mask except for 20 minutes on a Greek ferry because I was told to in a vacant interior cabin, until I discovered the hundreds of people on the top deck in the sun sans-masks...where I stayed for the rest of the 2 hour trip to Symi Island. I am convinced I am healthy before, during, and after the trip because I have refused all COVID vaccines. Yes, I did have COVID-19 pneumonia in December and January, when my doctor told me I was building anti-bodies. In my case I think Natural Immunity worked better than the vaccines. I have many friends and acquaintances, as does my wife. It seems to us that those that got vaccinated got sick with covid frequently and repeatedly and some died within a week or two of getting their booster shots. Pam and I both got sick once, and that was it. No vaccines, no masks.
POSTED June 17, 2020
This afternoon I was listening to a call-in show hosted by Guy Gordan on WJR 760 AM Detroit. He was defending Governor Whitmer's order to wear masks in restaurants when you enter and walk around but not when sitting with your party at a table. Patrons around town are objecting to the order, and he was asking for callers to explain to him the resistance. But no one calling in had any reasons for NOT wearing masks other than a rebellious attitude. I'm not good debating on live radio, and the reasons for NOT wearing mask were too many to get across in my 20 seconds, should I get through the call screener. Besides that I was driving and didn't want to further distract myself. So, I'm going to send Guy this link. My response is appropriately on our Imperfectly Human documentary blog. We're all imperfectly human, especially government officials...and some medical experts, when it comes to this covid19 business.

Why NOT to wear covid19 masks...UNLESS you're a member of a health compromised group.
1. SCIENTIFICALLY
There are around 2 billion different bacteria and viruses in the world. The human body is designed to ingest small amounts of them and create a defense against them. This is why kids that eat dirt don’t get sick, yet get healthy instead.
A. If wearing a mask prevents you from getting a little of the germ, you weaken your immune system by wearing the mask. Your natural immune system requires small doses of bacteria and viruses to build up antibodies and antigens to defend the body naturally. To prevent that, through wearing masks and isolation, makes you more vulnerable in the long run and is one of the reasons for there sometimes being a second wave.
B. Our bodies are designed to expel toxins on a regular basis, not just through urination and defecation, but also through the sweat glands via the pores in your skin, and by the expelling of breath. While this may sound like an argument to wear a mask to save others from breathing in our toxins, wearing a mask keeps those toxins close to your nose and mouth for re breathing, which you don’t want to do. The simple example is chemical, e.g. the exhaling of CO2 and inhaling of O2.
C. Throughout the whole pandemic cycle the changes of dying form covid19 have been between 0.002 – 0.004 of 1%. That is dramatically lower than just about every other way to die. And yet we’ve destroyed people’s lives because of this. The threat was never scientifically valid, except for those in nursing homes or for people with other serious health issues.
2. LOGICALLY
A. As the CDC is finally admitting, catching a serious dose of the virus requires prolonged contact, such as sitting at a restaurant table for 30 minutes in discussion. You are NOT likely to catch anything walking into a restaurant or walking to the restroom to wash your hands. Thu, the wearing of mask rule in restaurants in irrational and you’re better off not wearing one when walking around. See Item No. 1.
B. There is no rule about wearing protective gloves or using hand sanitizer after handling the door handles to the restaurant or bathrooms. The masks doesn’t help here, and yet sanitizer would.
C. Whitmer’s orders to prevent golf and boating to reduce the spread is irrational and not in the interest of good health. A healthy immune system requires (a) reduced stress, (b) exercise, (c) fresh air, (d) and sunlight (Vitamin D). Golf and boating do all those things, and they do not need to be large group events, clearly golf is not, and even in a foursome can be played easily with social distancing. These and other examples of her edicts throw into question everything she demands. Most of us are not into irrational tyranny.
D. The so called “experts” including Fauci have been wrong about many issues regarding covid19. To claim that we should be following expert advice when we have never before shut down society or been asked to wear masks in any of the last half-dozen serious flu seasons, reveals that the demand we wear masks now is political.
E. The last I read, those states that did not lock down and demand masks are not fairing worse than those that did.
F. Whitmer claims she’s all about saving lives, but yet she supports abortion lessens her credibility.
G. News media personnel have been caught on camera demanding the president and others always wear a mask, but there are video clips of them removing their masks as soon as they think the cameras are off, and NOT social distancing. This lends credibility to the argument that wearing masks is a hoax.
3. POLITICALLY
A. Trump is role modeling the behavior I’ve outlined above. He doesn’t wear a mask, because it is not healthy to wear one, as well as not being politically smart...it’s not petty to claim he doesn’t want the media to see him, it would be a serious mistake, because it would reinforce that all the panic stricken but ill-informed “experts” would be right. And he knows they’re not.
B. Politicians move the goal posts. It’s no longer about hospital capacity. It’s the “number of cases.” When, in fact, we want everyone in the state to become a “case” so they can build up immunity. We WANT large number of cases, but we’re irrationally told that a high number of cases is bad. Not true. If a vaccine gets developed and everyone takes the vaccine, guess what, EVERYONE would test positive for the virus at some point…and that would be good.
C. You take all this together, and the rules do not make sense. It makes more sense that Democrats have wanted to kill the economy to oust Trump. But everyone seems to want to follow the mask guidelines, even if there is no rational reason for doing so.
