Stamp out scourge

It is obvious that doctors—during surgeries—who wear masks that cover their noses and thus restrict the flow of oxygen to their brains are jeopardizing the lives of their patients. I dare say thousands of children have been killed by this insensitivity to common sense. I don’t know how we true patriots have let a danger like this go on for so long, unnoticed. We need to ban the un-American teachings and “kook,” “antiseptic surgery” ideas of that foreigner, Dr. Joseph Lister, and soiled sanitation suggestions by that feminist hero, the late Ms. Florence Nightingale. It is obvious now that liberal left-leaning medical elites have been running our medical schools unopposed for far too long.

I’m going to call up governors Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis, and our own vacillating governor and point out this glaring deficiency to these, our freedom-loving (and politically hungry) politicians. We could possibly stamp this Chinese scourge out in a month, just like Donald Trump said we could, if we stay true to the anti-mask mantra laid out for us by Fox News and duplicate “The Florida Experiment” in the other backward 49 states. And who knows, we might even edge Governor Hutchinson back on track to the straight and narrow road to religious correctness on this mask-wearing matter.

But it is also obvious we may need several booster shots for this deadly reason-resistant “pro-mask-anti-common-sense-scourge” sweeping the nation in order to finally vanquish it and kick mask-wearing to the rubbish bin of history where it belongs. DANNY HANCOCK Lonoke
