Listen, we all want COVID over and done with. But the only way we’re going to get to the “post” is diligent mask wearing and vaccination. Yet the conspiracy theories about the novel coronavirus and mask wearing persist.

And it turns out, the legal profession is far from immune from the believing and perpetuating the lies. As reported by Roll on Friday, one law firm partner not only believes baseless conspiracy theories about COVID, he’s proselytizing about it. Jonathan Lea, a lawyer in the UK formerly of Clyde & Co and Hammonds (now Squire Patton Boggs) who now runs his own firm The Jonathan Lea Network, posted a sign on the firm’s door, denying the existence of COVID-19 (So…. what does he think people are dying from? Hard to say.), and telling people to take off their masks to enter the office since wearing a mask is the “devil’s work.” Ummmm okay. Yeah, the full text of the sign is below, and it’s a doozy.

STAY SCEPTICAL. CONTROL THE HYSTERIA. REMAIN HUMAN. SAVE LIVES.
NO MASKS IN THIS OFFICE

If you choose to wear a mask please take it off if you enter this office. We should not be treating perfectly healthy and law abiding people as diseased ridden lepers and criminals.

All masks do is perpetuate completely irrational fear and make the public more amenable to the government’s ludicrous economy and liberty wrecking restrictions. Anything that causes people to enter into un-Godly fear and compliance to tyranny is demonic.

If there really was a dangerous virus out there, a mask would be largely ineffective in halting any viral respiratory illness from spreading throughout the population. Multiple scientific reports state a mask is about as useful as a pair of speedos preventing a kid peeing in the pool. Giving life to a lie is the devil’s work.

In fact, masks are actually a health hazard that deprive us of oxygen, force us to breath our own CO2 and increase the risk of respiratory illness and viral infections.

If people are really somehow concerned about any health risk and believe masks have any benefit then they should be fine just wearing their own without being bothered if others choose not to.

It should be clear by now that what the mask mandate is really about is training people in mindless compliance and group think so that the same propaganda is used to apply social pressure and force to make people give up the fundamental human right of bodily autonomy and take unsafe and life debilitating ‘vaccines’.

I am not willing to suffer the disease of this abject tyranny.

THIS ENDS WHEN WE ALL SAY NO

I am stupider for having read that.

The scientific evidence in support of masks is overwhelming, and frankly you have to question the judgment of a lawyer who believes this nonsense. I would not take the advice of anyone who spread these lies.

Lea made additional statements about his stance:

Lea told RollOnFriday he put up his sign after the manager of his serviced offices posted notices recommending people wear masks in the communal areas, and everyone “started obediently walking around with bits of cloth on their face”.

When a client from another office in the building walked into Lea’s firm with a mask on it “sent me over the edge and led to the sign”, said the lawyer.

However, Lea’s call to arms “only lasted a couple of days before our serviced office managers took it down”, he said.

….

Lea said his staff were allowed to work from home, and were all following government guidance. “We are an open, inclusive and supportive firm and if anyone for any reason thought they’d like to wear something on their face, or have a vaccine, there would be no issue”, he said.

“While the team clearly know where I stand on the scamdemic, we are all free to express and discuss different opinions”.

At least his effort to ban masks in the office were thwarted. But as long as attitudes like Lea’s are allowed to thrive, well, we’ll never be rid of the scourge of COVID.
