The Inconvenient Truth about COVID the Left Doesn’t Want to Talk About
Ocean pollution from pointless mask mandates should make climate activists outraged

Conservatives and climate change fanatics have an opportunity to unite over an issue that faces us all but don’t bet on it happening.
Leftists freak out over plastic straws polluting the ocean and do everything they can to ban them along with plastic bags. People carry their canvas bags into grocery stores like a badge of honor but don’t realize they may be worse for the environment than plastic bags according to NPR. It doesn’t matter that over 90% of the plastic in the oceans comes from 10 rivers, two in Africa and eight in Asia.
Don’t expect them to know any of this information. Another little-known fact that hurts their agenda is the severe damage the pointless masks we have been forced to wear for the entire pandemic in deep blue states do to the environment. The same people who claim to be champions of the planet support ineffective mask policies that have dumped over 1.5 billion masks into the same oceans they ban plastic over.

Surgical and cloth masks won’t protect you from COVID. They serve as nothing more than face decorations and provide a theatrical aspect to give the illusion of comfort and protection. In fairness, an N95 or similar high-filtration respirator provides better protection, but in our government’s infinite wisdom, only require the ones that don’t work.
Joe Rogan was right when he said the mask has turned into the MAGA hat for Democrats. Would they feel the same way about mask mandates if they knew it takes about 450 years for their face decoration to biodegrade? You will get talking points from a climate activist about plastic and how much sea levels could rise, but nothing on the damage masks cause. Don’t expect them to tell you mask waste from 2020 alone makes up 7% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Is there a right kind of waste for these activists? It would be a wonderful thing for environmental activists to wake up to the damage masks are causing to our oceans. This creates a conundrum for the Left because the biggest mask advocates are often climate change activists. They both create opportunities for government to expand power so there’s not much of a chance for the Democrats to stop ineffective mask mandates.
Environmental damage caused by masks isn’t part of “the science” Democrats will pay attention to or want you to know. It’s always interesting to watch when left-wing causes conflict with each other and what wins. If Republicans were good at politics, this would be an environmental cause they could champion and another reason to oppose mask mandates. It would be epic to watch if any climate change activists join that fight with conservatives and watch CNN try to make sense of it.
