The Tennessee Conservative [By Jason Vaughn] –
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is pushing for some Tennessee counties to reinstate masking as reports of COVID-19 numbers are rising in those areas.
CDC data categorizes areas as high, medium, or low based on how quickly reports state that COVID-19 numbers are increasing. A county is classified as “high” if 200 new cases per 100,000 people have been reported within the last seven days.

They list twenty-three counties in Tennessee as “high” risk. The majority of these counties are found in West and Middle Tennessee, but a few East Tennessee counties made their list as well.
Seven counties in Middle Tennessee are listed on that “high” risk list. The CDC lists Benton, Davidson, Decatur, Henry, Hickman, Humphreys, and Robertson counties in that category.
CDC officials are now saying residents of those counties should mask up, whether they have been vaccinated or not. They are also pushing individuals to get vaccinated or update with boosters and are recommending that individuals be prepared to rapid test as needed and follow previously issued quarantine guidelines if they are exposed or test positive for COVID-19.
The Tennessee Department of Health says Tennessee’s rate of positivity at 28% and says that the state had nearly 3,000 documented cases, 12 deaths per day, and 6 hospitalizations per day from COVID in the week of July 10-16.
The Tennessee Valley Authority recently reinstated masking requirements for their employees after Hamilton County was upgraded to a high-risk county. According to TVA Public Information Officer Jim Hopson, they follow federal guidelines because they are a federal agency. They are requiring that employees wear masks, regardless of vaccination status.

The CDC is a fraud. They ignore high quality RCT studies that clearly and unambiguously support the hypothesis that masks do not and cannot provide significant protection against viruses. I cannot for the life of me understand how the following can be ignored by any thoughtful person.

I sent this email to Gov Lee
“ Governor ,
STOP THE GLOBALIST/FAUCI/PHARMAFIA MANDATE FRAUDS
Vaccines, lockdowns, closing small business, masks, destroying the middle class, and distancing have all done the opposite of reasons stated and mandated. In fact, the opposite has happened. On purpose of course.
Do not comply with the Global/UN Communo-Fascists, the PharMafia, and corrupt Fauci DC machine. Protect the citizens of Tennessee. Otherwise you wigll be viewed as a stooge of the Global Communo-Fascist Movement.”
These criminals are unbelievable. The only number that could possibly have even a little significance is the number of deaths verifiably caused by Covid and only by Covid. Amazing how we haven’t heard anything about those numbers in forever now! Nobody in these counties are going to pay this any mind.
Covid comes back in those who capitulated to the experimental drug. It was designed to do exactly this (and worse). Those counties had high vax rates. Pathetic
At this point with all the knowledge we have that vaccines don’t work and neither do mask. If they are making children continue this charade and parents aren’t outraged. You need to ask yourself this question. Is this about control or safety? Because the data is there to say it isn’t about safety………… DO NOT COMPLY!!!!
There is no scientific basis for masking however there is good data against masking especially for the new omicron variants. Stop government abuse of the use of masks and mask mandates to control the populous and injure children.
I don’t think this is a new omicron variant. It’s most likely the MTE-22 variant also know as the “Mid-term Elections – 2022 variant.”
CDC is the mark of a Fool! Do the same thing over and over again expecting a different result! MASKS is one of them. Even on the CDC web site before they deleted it! According to their own data Masks are useless. Just more control and brain washing of America!!
Politicians are ignoring all the reports on how bad mask are and vaccine side effects. They have to see these reports we all do. I’m not voting for anyone who pushed mandates.
