Thanks! Paralyzed by fear has a new meaning. it's pretty sobering to see such a large percentage of our compatriots so affected by intense delusion. At a time when we have access to far more information than we can process we live in ignorance. The children are suffering beyond our capacity to alleviate. Trust those of us who are able will keep attempting to speak with or for our kids. After all we may forced to live with the world our children choose to create.

Your comment about only speaking to the child gives me encouragement to do the same. I’m in the Ft Worth, TX area and it’s painful for me to see a preschooler wearing that stupid face diaper with a masked up mom. A few months ago I saw maybe a two year old sitting in the grocery cart masked up along with his very young masked up mom. I did a double take and teared up not seeing a happy face. I was too far away for him to notice my shocked expression. What a cruel uninformed mother! I wanted to give her a good talking to but that wouldn’t be the right message. So thank you, Dr. McDonald for your wisdom.

I am confident you had the conversations with these deranged individuals in the most calm manner possible because I've watched enough interviews with you. I think the approach of asking the child (rather than confronting the parent) is the way to do it now. I'm not sure I would be calm enough to be successful.

Last week as I entered a restaurant we frequent, a young man who still wears a cloth face diaper greeted me as I came in. I asked, "Adrian, when will I get to see your face again?" He pulled off his mask, smiled and put it back on. Then he said, "I keep wearing it to protect everyone." I said, "I'm sorry, but it doesn't protect anyone." He acknowledged that this was true but he wasn't willing to stop wearing it. At this point, he was walking past me and I gently touched his shoulder and said, "It's just fear, dear. Give it up." Sadly, I believe he's using it to hide.

I commented here last week about my husband's retirement dinner and my demand that it be mask-free. He told me one of his colleagues had a cold, so I suggested he tell her that this was going to be a mask-free event and she would need to not attend if she could not abide that. He did not inform her and she showed up without a face diaper but after coming into the room, put on a KN 95. I walked up to her, explained this was a mask-free event and asked her to take it off. She refused. Our adult son told me later that he considered telling her that I was serious and she should take it off, but decided against it. I intend to bring up the issue with her next time I see her but approach it from a psychological damage perspective. She is a single woman with a PhD in biology and unless she's in complete denial (likely), she knows what the studies say. I'm going to offer her a referral to my EMDR therapist for PTSD therapy.

Unbelievable Dr. McDonald, yet I believe it with all that you have informed us is going with women and their fears, unfortunately. Thank you again for the insight. Best Regards.

Inpsired by this article, which I completely agree with, I went up to a family of four in the Roseville Galleria (near Sacramento) where the father and two young children were masked and the mother wasn't. I said that masking children was child abuse. The father just said, "Go away." I added that it is depriving them of oxygen and poisoning their brains. He repeated that I should go away. My final comment was that I should call Child Protective Services.

Of course, we all knew that it was an empty threat, as CPS would be more likely to arrest me for my unmasked children than that father.

The abortion decision is bad in many ways. Probably it is legally correct, but it now has both parties on record that we have no bodily autonomy. They differ merely on what invasions to countenance now. It is a bad development, which makes it more urgent to wake people up to the ongoing child (and adult) abuse of masks and jabs -- as the law will not help us.

This was published in April 2022. It is now March 2023, and the insanity continues, regrettably. Mark, I see people out of doors wearing masks here in Wisconsin. There is apparently, no escape from the toxins that have been released on people's brains in this world.
