Reply to Yaged

December 1, 2020 by Guest Post

By Helen Sabin, Corvallis

This is in reply to Kim Yaged’s appeal to our outstanding law enforcement officers to “do their duty” and go out and arrest those who do NOT choose to wear a mask so she feels safer from that nasty Covid-19 virus.   

She states, “…restrictions in Missoula will be meaningless if there is no enforcement. Please do more to enforce existing Covid-19 orders.”  

Kim apparently wants the USA and its LEOs (law enforcement officers) to be a country where a dictator gives orders and the people MUST obey or the police will come after them. And then do what? Put them in jail? Lock them in their houses? Shoot them? What, Kim? 

Perhaps she should go to Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and China to actually see what life is like when dictators tell people what to do and you have no choice but to obey or lose your life. She is clearly ignorant of countries that do what she wishes were being done here in the USA. But I wonder if she can answer this question: If masks really work, why are our wonderful health care workers catching the virus? They all wear masks and good ones too doing their jobs. Why are students doing online education instead of being in the classroom? They all wear masks and if they work, why is this happening?    

And while Kim is at home, she must check out this educational video so she doesn’t look so foolish in her lack of knowledge about covid and masks: https://www.rcreader.com/commentary/masks-dont-work-covid-a-review-of-science-relevant-to-covide-19-social-policy

Citizens of the USA need to be wary of governmental orders and demands and not accept infringements on their unalienable and Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. Do NOT be like KIM and accept the “hurt” that goes with lockdowns, or vaccination requirements. We the people must remain sovereign and prevail. The government and its LEOs must remain servants of the people, not its masters.
