With new COVID variants, including BA.2.86 and EG.5, in the news, the same media and activists on the Left who were most fanatical about masks and other heavy-handed COVID policies during the pandemic are now pushing mask mandates again.
Conservatives warned it could be a precursor to a return to oppression in the name of fighting COVID, and vowed collectively not to “comply.”
U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, tweeted out the message: “COVID [does not equal] constitutional authority” above a tweet by Ryan Cunningham that states: “The WHO [World Health Organization], CDC, Biden Admin are fear mongering a new COVID variant BA.2.86 after highly mutated strain reported in Michigan. Sources in DHS and Emergency Management (my field) are already preparing for lockdowns and restrictions. Look at todays headlines. It’s a coordinated government & media campaign.”

The post flashed a string of ominous-sounding headlines from the following media: CBS News, NBC News, the Guardian, CNBC, Times of Israel, ABC News, Reuters, Washington Post and the New York Post. Here is the headline in the left-wing British newspaper the Guardian: “New COVID variant causing concern among scientists detected in London.”
But with most Americans enjoying their freedom and thrilled the era of compelled mask-wearing is over – and conservatives already vowing not to comply with renewed COVID restrictions – it appears it would be a lot harder for elites to instill mass COVID paranoia and the tyranny that flows from it than it was in the initial phase of the pandemic under Donald Trump’s presidency.
“There is no strong evidence to support mask mandates to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” tweeted med student and scientist Kevin Bass Saturday, accompanied by a video of a student being dragged out of a school board meeting in El Paso, Texas, by police because he refused to obey a mask mandate.
“Never sacrifice the constitution in the name of Safety! It leads to totalitarianism! Resist!” tweeted Cunningham on Aug. 18.
“I will never comply with any new Covid mandates, lockdowns and will not be wearing that stupid mask…Who’s with me,” said conservative comedian Terrence Williams in a post on Twitter (“X”) Sunday. At press time it had nearly a quarter of a million views.

Even less dangerous than Omicron
Moreover, the new variant is less dangerous that the Omicron variant that spawned it, says one COVID dissident, independent writer and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson.
“After a long quiet stretch, media and Twitter Covid scaremongering is on the rise,” Berenson writes on his Substack page Aug. 17. “The noise raises two questions. Is anything actually happening? And, if not, why all the shrieking?”
“The first question is easier to answer: No. Nothing is happening,” he writes in the piece titled, “Why are the Covid hysterics at it again?”

“Cases and hospitalizations have risen slightly this summer, but Omicron remains very mild. Many if not most Covid-reported hospitalizations are incidental, and most Covid deaths are incidental or end-of-life,” he reports. “Of course, Sars-Cov-2 continues to mutate, like all viruses. Theoretically, it could change in a way that increases its dangers. … But despite the caterwauling about new strains, viruses generally become more transmissible and less virulent. Sars-Cov-2 has been no exception. Since Omicron displaced Delta globally in December 2021, none of its subvariants have shown signs of reversing that trend.”
As WND reported in February, a major British meta-study revealed that wearing face-masks – even fancier N95 masks – probably has “little or no” effect in protecting against COVID-19 and the flu compared to not wearing one.
Massive meta-study on mask wearing delivers kill shot to COVID narrative
There is no strong evidence to support mask mandates to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
In 2021, this teenage boy was arrested for not wearing a mask.
Today public health elites are debating bringing mask mandates back.
If this happens, demand strong evidence.

Addicted to shots: Believe it or not, these colleges still require COVID jabs
‘Blacklisted’ scientist seeks ‘truth commission’ on America’s public health COVID failures
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today’s ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film “Sound of Freedom” – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.
According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children’s “right to consent” on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.
“Pedophiles are sitting back right now,” says Ballard, “and going, ‘We’ve been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don’t have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us’ – IN AMERICA!”
Ballard’s concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, “THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION.”
But that’s just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites’ affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled “THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
