So Dan Forest, running for governor of North Carolina like he had a clue, showed up Saturday among 500 mainly unmasked supporters in Henderson County and said words, some of which were these:
"There have been multiple comprehensive studies at the deepest level held to scientific standards in controlled environments that have all said for decades, masks do not work with viruses. That's why we've never used a mask for a coronavirus before, ever."
In the great Trump tradition, that's just ignorant. Also dangerous. Rob McMillan reports that many cities in the 1918 flu pandemic mandated masks and fined people who didn't wear them. There's plenty of visual archival evidence too (see below).
Dan Forest is a idiot. Also a ass.

According to an article in the Watauga Democrat at the time, masks were mandatory here and social and religious gatherings were restricted. But that was 1918. People were smarter and more educated then.
RUN, FASCIST, RUN!
