Biden’s ‘100 Days’ Of Masks Transforms Into Masks ‘Through The Next Year’

Joe Biden’s 100 day mask mandate has now transformed into wearing masks ‘through the next year’, according to comments he made Thursday.

In an appearance at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, Biden told staff “You know that wearing this mask through the next year here can save lives, a significant number of lives.”

Mumbling through his own mask, Biden also blamed President Trump for the vaccine roll out being delayed.

Pics Surface Of Tampa Mayor Who Threatened To Hunt Down Super Bowl Partiers Apparently Maskless At Hockey Celebration

Democratic Tampa Mayor Jane Castor said maskless “bad actors” who partied after the Super Bowl should be “identified,” but photos have since surfaced online of Castor maskless at a sports event during the ongoing pandemic.

After Castor told reporters that “those few bad actors [who didn’t wear masks] will be identified and the Tampa Police Department will handle it,” an image circulated on Twitter purporting to show Castor maskless while celebrating the Tampa Bay Lightning winning the Stanley Cup.

CNN Mask Karen Freaks Out, Calls Police On Super Bowl Revellers

“I gave a call to Tampa Police to ask them what’s going on with all these people that are out and about and not wearing masks because there is a mask mandate in the City of Tampa while this pandemic is underway and during this time of the game there,” she whinged.

“You’re supposed to be wearing a mask if you’re anywhere near Raymond James Stadium, if you’re in a bar or a restaurant or anywhere in one of these event or entertainment areas. And you can see from the pictures and the video that we have that people are just not paying much attention to that mask mandate,” Kaye urged.

She continued, “They are supposed to be fined up to $500.00. So I asked the Tampa Police, how many citations have been issued? What do you want to say in response to this? What’s being done about it?”

The police didn’t bother responding to her frothing.

LONG-TERM MASK USE MAY CONTRIBUTE TO ADVANCED STAGE LUNG CANCER, STUDY FINDS

A recent study in the journal Cancer Discovery found that inhalation of harmful microbes can contribute to advanced stage lung cancer in adults. Long-term use of face masks may help breed these dangerous pathogens.

Microbiologists agree that frequent mask wearing creates a moist environment in which microbes are allowed to grow and proliferate before entering the lungs. Those foreign microbes then travel down the trachea and into two tubes called the bronchi until they reach small air sacks covered in blood vessels called alveoli.

“THE LUNGS WERE LONG THOUGHT TO BE STERILE, BUT WE NOW KNOW THAT ORAL COMMENSALS–MICROBES NORMALLY FOUND IN THE MOUTH–FREQUENTLY ENTER THE LUNGS DUE TO UNCONSCIOUS ASPIRATIONS.” – LEOPOLDO SEGAL, STUDY AUTHOR AND DIRECTOR OF THE LUNG MICROBIOME PROGRAM AND ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE AT NEW YORK UNIVERSITY GROSSMAN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

According to the study, after invading the lungs these microbes cause an inflammatory response in proteins known as cytokine IL-17.

“GIVEN THE KNOWN IMPACT OF IL-17 AND INFLAMMATION ON LUNG CANCER, WE WERE INTERESTED IN DETERMINING IF THE ENRICHMENT OF ORAL COMMENSALS IN THE LUNGS COULD DRIVE AN IL-17-TYPE INFLAMMATION AND INFLUENCE LUNG CANCER PROGRESSION AND PROGNOSIS,” SAID SEGAL.

While analyzing lung microbes of 83 untreated adults with lung cancer, the research team discovered that colonies of Veillonella, Prevotella, and Streptococcus bacteria, which may be cultivated through prolonged mask wearing, are all found in larger quantities in patients with advanced stage lung cancer than in earlier stages. The presence of these bacterial cultures is also associated with a lower chance of survival and increased tumor growth regardless of the stage.Corona Mask Mandates: Science or Political Dogma?

Additionally, research into the cultivation of Veillonella bacteria in the lungs of mice found that the presence of such bacteria leads to the emergence of immune suppressing cells as well as inflammatory ones such as cytokine IL-17.
