Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) reintroduced legislation on Wednesday that would allow the federal government to send three N95 respirator masks to every person in America.
Sanders first introduced the legislation, called the Masks for All Act, in summer 2020, but Congress did not bring it up for a vote. But as the highly transmissible omicron variant continues to spread, Sanders urged lawmakers to use this second opportunity to arm all Americans with better protective gear.
“It is an absolute scandal that in the richest country in the history of the world, high-quality masks are not more readily available to frontline workers, health care workers, and all Americans,” Sanders said in a statement on Wednesday.

To put this into perspective, my wife had to fly behind enemy lines (Pennsylvania) due to a family medical emergency. The airport in Chattanooga requires everyone to wear a mask in the terminal. If we do wear wear a mask, the absolute minimum is an N95 which she took with her. Upon entering the airport, she put on the mask and went to check in. The airline representative told her that due to our idiot president, the N95 mask was not considered to be effective because it had a hole (the filter) in it. She had to take off the N95 mask and replace it with a low efficiency mask in order to board the plane.
And yes I understand that N95 masks are not effective against the Sars-Cov2 virus.

Control and compliance is what they seek, they are insane, why would anyone listen to this insanity it is beyond comprehension. I stopped flying once they put in their rules of search to board a plane. It was done to humiliate and demoralize, nothing else.
In this case, we were directed to have my wife fly. Her mother passed away shortly after she arrived. It was definitely a path provided to us by God.
I am sorry to hear of your loss, God bless you and your family. My circumstances differ from yours, but I probably would make the flight under those circumstances.
I know how devasting it can be, I lost three immediate family members before the age of 35, time heals all.
A spouse or child lost will cause some not to ever smile again, some stay isolated socially, keep to immediate family.. I personally know some, one lady lost a 16 yr old in car accident, also late grandmoms who were widowed one young. Never saw smiles, incl spouse g’mom, they all lived during the depression times.
Yes my dad and to sisters devasted my mom.
I am very sorry to hear of your wife’s Mother passing. These are very hard times. Sending prayers.
I’m sorry for your family’s loss.
N95 masks ride up on some peoples faces. I talked to some nurses when visiting family member in hospital recently, they use the sugical type hospital masks, and gave me a dozen. They are more comfortable but the n95 also cuts into your face on the sides on some people,
I myself will not put on the mask I refuse.
I would have drove. Sorry to hear of your loss. My mom grew up in the Valley Forge area.
Masks don’t work. They DO work, however, to get the slaves to comply to covering their beautiful, God given faces, for a satanic ritual. The masks are a ritual. Let’s wake up.
Mask wearing on kids and younger people can cause psychological issues and depression. People in my area choose to wear them or not unless in medical field or education.
Never in a thousand years did I think that Bernie the soup line czar and his comrades would be running our Country. This is not some tv drama this is real life. The Bolsheviks are dug in and will not leave voluntarily, we need to escort them to their final resting place ASAP.
Evil men’s growing power lives on the cowardice and apathy of the good, and there are so few good patriots left today. Younger generations in gov. schools have been taught to accept tyranny and socialism, vote left.
Sanders needs- swift kick. We are 30 trillion in debt.
