If you wonder how much young people — and the world — have changed, here’s a portrait of progress.
Students marched at the University of Nevada Reno on Monday in protest against masks
They are demanding that they be worn.
Last Thursday — amid a downward trend in COVID cases — Gov. Steve Sisolak announced an immediate end to the state’s mask mandate.
Brian Sandoval, UNR president, stated that the school will no longer be required to fulfill the requirements of the Nevada System of Higher Education.
Some staff and students are hiding behind their frocks, however.
It’s safety.

“We are out here to make our voices heard… … I feel, honestly, incredibly unsafe. You know that masks are worn to protect our health and to help others. Um, there’s very good statistics that show that if you have an active COVID case and you are wearing a mask, you are protecting it spreading to other people.”
As for “very good statistics,” it would’ve been helpful if she’d shared them.
For a counterpoint, she may want to peruse MSN.com’s “Do Masks Actually Work? The Best Studies Suggest They Don’t.”
Additionally, she could consider content from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s February 5, 2020 email:
“The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material. … I do not recommend you wear a mask.”

Alex has more to say
“There are all these people now on campus who are not wearing masks who could possibly be, um, spreading COVID. That is further complicated by the fact that our requirement for vaccination was removed. “
She is, of course, correct — people on campus may be sick. This was the case even before the pandemic. This will remain true for the remainder of human life.
Alex lamented she has “no idea of knowing how many of [her]Students, how many? [her]Peers, how many are walking by? [her]Unvaccinated people who are spreading COVID at an even higher rate than usual. [her] — and, again — all of [her] community at risk.”
This will hold true regardless of whether the masks are mandatory or not.
As for transmission, RedState’s Bonchie previously commented on a yearlong UK study:
Although there was an increase in the infection rate among those who had been vaccinated (13%) they also found that the viral load of the unvaccinated were almost identical, which in turn caused similar rates of spread in the homes. The vaccine may make you less likely to get the disease, but it can spread to other people at the same or nearly the same rates as others.
Alex agreed to the following:
“President Sandoval, please listen to us. It is not safe for students at the university. Um, please help us.”
It seems to me the protest, in effect, wasn’t about mask mandates. It was more about the failure of vaccines.
How could vaccinated, boosted activists not convey the message that they are begging to have to keep their masks on?
It is clear that those who wish to hide can do this freely. It is not necessary for them to have others follow their lead.
The weakening America may be the solution. These days, we’re told words are violence and disagreement is hate. People aren’t primed to do as their peers are not. They have been taught that everyone must affirm them. Otherwise, they’re unsafe. Because the population is full of blushes, conformity can only be achieved with a sword.
Concerning our present hanging in the biobalance, the CDC posted survival rates for coronavirus before vaccines were distributed.
- 0-19 years: 99.99997
- 20-49 years: 99.9998
- 50-69 years: 99.995
- 70+ years: 99.946
If students are worried over COVID and willing to wear cloths, they’re missing a much more robust deterrent to death: Each should strap on a helmet whenever they’re in a car. This would make a huge difference in their overall health.
Perhaps that trend can be started by the Nevada Faculty Alliance’s Kent Ervin, who explained he’s “flabbergasted” that the “Nevada system of higher education” isn’t following the “public health directives, the experts, and the CDC guidelines” — instead of “political considerations.”
Kent will be “wearing [his] mask as long as there’s community spread.”
That means, if I understand correctly, he’ll be masking for the rest of his life.
He also asserted the issue “particularly impacts students of color and LGBTQ students.” Somehow, straight white people are escaping its jaws.
Kent wants the school to “follow the science.” That sounds like a sensible idea.
As you all know, Dr. Fauci considers himself to be the scientist.
Kent has the ability to do this, regardless of who else is there.
However, it’ll require some adjustment on his part:
US airports & airlines *preposterously* all demand that 2 year old children put a mask on, in the name of Fauci’s ‘government science’ federal mandate, yet here is the man himself – indoors – while he thinks the cameras are turned off #Resist ✊🏽pic.twitter.com/zhR1hELmJg
