South Korea Drops Outdoor Mask Mandate and Explores Lifting Other Restrictions
South Korea is taking longer than other countries to drop their COVID protocols, but they appear to be realizing that the protocols are arguably more detrimental to the population than the virus:
The government is expected to speed up the pace of its COVID-19 exit strategy after its decision to lift all outdoor mask mandates starting Monday.

The next steps are likely to range from ending the post-arrival PCR test to resuming face-to-face visits at nursing hospitals, and it is considering a step-by-step easing of the seven-day quarantine for infected patients.
Until Sunday, those at outdoor gatherings of 50 or more people, such as sporting events, had to wear masks, but it is no longer required, according to the government.
“We are clearly overcoming the hurdle of the recent resurgence of the coronavirus,” Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said during a government meeting at the Government Complex in Sejong, Friday. The government plans to map out a new set of low-risk quarantine measures to solve the public’s inconveniences based on feedback from experts, the prime minister said.
You can read more at the link, but I expect we will still see many Koreans masked up outdoors even with the dropping of this mandate.
Masking kids is an abomination…
Almost as bad as giving young people the clot shot.
Lifting all mandates can’t happen fast enough.
imagine still thinking masks were effective when they wore them religiously but have the 2nd highest infection rate in the world
If I wear a mask, nobody notices me.
If I wear a mask on my neck, someone will nicely remind me I have forgotten to put my mask on.
If I wear no mask, the lowest form of chronically powerless person has been empowered to run up and yell MASK-EUH MASK-EUH. Whatever you say, doctor.
If I wear a mask covering half my mouth but not my nose, in a way that is clearly ineffective at doing anything but minimally checking the box saying I am wearing a mask, nobody says anything.
By testing these four conditions, the only conclusion can be that it has nothing to do with public health and everything to do with compliance and submission.
Fortunately, this seems to have changed in the last few weeks.
I rode the Seoul subway with no mask on and nobody said anything¹.
Bonus: Lots of things are changing. I bumped into a big vax fanboi and he admitted he has never felt quite right since the vaccine, has had covid twice, and used a profanity about what they can do with the 4th booster.
¹Never again. Public transportation is for the ignorant and poor and people who deserve to own nothing and eat the bugs.
Even doctor offices are dropping masks in Texas…
Then again, we’re not as wimpy as folks who live Democrat-controlled cities…
Masks never worked, despite what GI and his globalist masters wanted to make you think. We also know now the vaccines were at best worthless but most likely causing millions of “sudden” deaths. But ivermectin was bad, wasn’t it GI?
Come on, Flyingsword, that’s not entirely fair.
Those promoting, and even supporting, the vaccine provided a valuable service to mankind.
At worst, they did no harm because promoting a worthless vaccine really did nothing other than make a few pharmaceutical execs rich. And even false hope is good for people.
At best, they have long-term effects such as heart damage¹, increased cancer rates², lower fertility³, immune system degradation⁴, and dementia⁵.
And that is targeted at exactly the right demographic who self-selected to die younger, die more frequently, and have developmentally disabled kids⁶.
I thank all the vaxxers for their service.
¹ Heart inflammation can cause scarring that does not heal. Before the vaccine any kind of heart inflammation was considered a medical emergency.
² Some viruses can increase the odds of cancer. The flood of spike proteins after the vaccine (that doesn’t stay in the arm like originally promised) has characteristics that could lead to increased cancer rates in the coming decades.
³ The spike protein that floods the body of some people after vaccination binds to ACE2 receptors in the reproductive system. The claim is that reduced fertility is temporary. Longer-term reduced fertility is blamed on covid stress and economy.
⁴ There is very good scientific evidence that a percentage of the population has their immune system damaged by the vaccine. The mechanisms are well-known. An example would be the CEO of Pfizer who currently has covid for the second time in 6 weeks. He is in isolation so it is unknown if he is in fact “experiencing no symptoms and is grateful to be vaccinated”.
⁵ The spike protein has been shown to cross into the brain and mechanism have been proposed for how this can damage brain structure. The media is hinting around that early-onset dementia is not as rare as we think, much like SADS, children with heart problems, and dead athletes.
⁶ All the babies born to vaccinated mothers are barely walking age so we don’t yet know if there is any affect. The early developmental milestones have all been changed in such a way that it will be very difficult to compare this year’s apples to previous year’s oranges. Doing this right now, when we should be very curious about these comparisons, tells you all you need to know.
