I built a 🇺🇸 factory in 6 months that can make millions of masks every day.


I love America but I’m not a republican--it’s possible I promise.

I'm not a dem either, but I do know masks.

With XBB.1.5 Kraken surging I thought I'd write another 🧵 guaranteed to offend everyone. 3 years ago, crews in full PPE arrive at a seafood market in Wuhan amid reports of a virus outbreak.

That f*cked things up globally because Wuhan is where the fabric for the world's PPE was made.

At the time, 🇺🇸 was basically incapable of making masks

Get ready to be triggered because I’m offending everyone with this post.

I built a 🇺🇸 mask factory in six months capable of producing millions of N95s and Surgical masks every day.

Here’s why I don’t think America cares about COVID or masking anymore.

🧵 1/17 I believe that masks work and was one of the first people to say if we mask up we do not have to shut down our economy.

But masks have become some stupid symbol of anti-freedom. If you believe this, I think you’ve been brainwashed by the ultra right.
