How about you just stay inside and avoid people for the rest of your life Roy.
Sounds like a win-win for everyone.
Waaaaahhhhhh wearing a mask is just soooooo hard and inconvenient!!! I couldn't possibly think of anything that could be worse!!!
This is what people who refuse to wear masks sound like. Apparently it's a huge inconvenience for some people to do something easier than brushing their teeth. Just adhere to the new societal norm and stop acting so self-righteous. People who claim that there is no scientific evidence probably read the evidence (which there is actually a lot of) and thought that they were smarter than scientists, and subsequently went on to claim that said evidence doesn't exist. Masks don't prevent the spread, but significantly reduce it. One can contract the virus in their eyes, but masks can prevent larger expelled droplets from evaporating into smaller droplets that can travel farther. For the people who are rebellious morons and claim that there is no scientific evidence, here are multiple sources that include links to studies that do indeed support the use of mask wearing:

^^^ Many of you will respond to my above post refusing to believe anything of the studies I included, but won't admit that they're actually legit and true. Kind of like Americans who don't believe in global warming. Their self-righteousness doesn't allow them to understand the difference between scientific facts and their own stubborn opinions.

"Oh yeah, PrZ? Well my mind is made up, and I don't need your 'facts' and 'logic' and 'evidence' and 'reason'!

It's easier to pull off a psyop based on a plandemic created in a lab and chemtrailed into the atmosphere when you can boost the mass-psychological effect by causing many people to wear masks (that do absolutely nothing beneficial to completely avoid contact with whatever was put into the atmosphere to begin with). They help convince people that it must be legitimate based on a variety of phenomena from group-think to over-valuing "experts" and media and government sources, which are presumed to be owned/managed by benevolent, truthful people who care about humanity, and so forth. However, the psyop was only in the planning phase prior to this year, so they weren't ready to test the limits of what the public would tolerate. But the election year made it a now-or-never situation, so here we are.
Yep, and then one day the common cold comes across your sterilized desk and kills you because you have no immune system left.
Not sure why but Covid has seemed to taken a toll on everyone's intellect - wearing masks, staying away from people and staying locked in your home are bogus mandates designed to supress imminunity not strengthen it. Have you ever asked yourelves why? Perhaps its the same reason they're paying Doctors to put Covid on everyone's death certificates regardless of how someone has died - this is NOT about SAFETY, its about being COMPLIANT, so when the inadequate-tested vaccines are ready, all the Sheeple will line up...

Oh, I don’t care if they work or not. I don’t like them and don’t want to wear them. I’m sick of hiding from COVID and would like my right to breathe freely back.
What was different in 2018 or 2019? We had vaccines for the highly contagious deadly diseases. Save HIV, which is why I wore a condom for sex before I was married, as a means to protect not only myself but also others. Similar idea, it has to do with responsible, respectful behavior toward others when presented with new information. To do otherwise is willful ignorance and arrogance, which is a major impediment to US society achieving greatness now.

This is one I don't get especially in parents of young kids. I have several friends with young kids who are terrified of this for the sake of their children and have isolated their kids from society because of this. Statistically, this poses next to 0 threat to kids. But it is critical for kid's immune systems to be exposed to threats at a young age to build up resistance for later in life. Far more damage, in the long run, is being done to kids by the isolation than COVID could possibly. You could probably make this same argument for everyone under 50 in that the lack of exposure to viral threats is going to make many more susceptible for a period of time as the re-enter society.

Roy says he will be cautious and wear a mask during flu season [while in public].
You tell Roy to stay inside and avoid people for the rest of his life (despite him never mentioning that).
....yet another example of your low reasoning/comprehension skills.

1) You could make that argument, but people would laugh at you. "Re-enter society" - what does this even mean? I'm a mask wearing, covid believer, but I'm still going out and being social - SAFELY. You can do both, ya know.
2) Still waiting for your response in the Trump Tax Return thread. Please head over there so you can continue to spout nonsense and get called out for it.

Help me understand this. If I am putting lives at risk by not wearing a mask in 2020, weren't you putting lives at risk by not wearing a mask in 2019 or 2018? Don't you think that you have probably transmitted an illness at some point that was eventually passed along to someone who died of the disease, and that a mask could have prevented this from happening? Why haven't you done everything in your power to prevent this?
Wearing masks saves lives. Crawl into a hole OP.

For other viruses such as influenza, we have natural immunity, we have effective vaccines, we have drugs to treat it, we also have reliable tests for it. None of this is applicable for COVID.
We also don't know how the virus could mutate, if it infects all 7 billion if us it could evolve different strains which might be more deadly.
Slowing the spread until we understand more is what we're trying to do.
And we have no idea what virus will come next so we just gotta keep wearing them. If we would have all always been wearing masks the corna virus wouldn't have stood a chance. understand? We just have to wear masks so people don't die. We learned our lesson and we are never uncovering our faces again, ever. It the rational thing to do.
It seems masks really work to slow the spread, and they would have probably helped save lives in other context like influenza. Keep masking up, and keep everyone safe from Covid and what ever else may be out there!
Ivor Cummins, Viral Issue Crucial Update Sept 8th: the Science, Logic and Data Explained!
I have some of the papers cited and other papers with similar results. I have reviewed data and graphs similar to those cited, and in some cases the same data as cited.
If you have evidence that contradicts, please post.
I know the mechanistic "common sense" explanations (It must work, even a little bit!) and the analogy explanations ("It's like wearing pants.") Those are not evidence. Those are plausible grounds for a hypothesis.

Has it occurred to you the parent's fears are not the kids getting sick, but you know, the kids growing without parents?

Let's be honest. If we were not told there is this terrible pandemic and forced to know masks almost no one would know there was novel virus going around. There's not masses of dead of giant groups of people getting sick anywhere. Very few people know someone seriously I'll unless you work in a nursing home or ICU. If we weren't being indoctrinated we'd just think it's a bad flu year, or not realize anything was going on.
If no one had told me about September 11th, the Iraq War, Obama's election, or the existence of the country of Libya I would not have known they existed, either. And I've seen the dying patients, the refrigerator trucks, and people I know getting very sick.

"Breathe freely?" Grow up, snowflake
You should go the next Trump rally. Most of the crowd believes in Trump's "Herd mentality". That should support your selfishness. By the way, cows are not very smart !!

If you have to ask this question, then you’ll never understand any answer. You’re actually too stupid. Biggest troll ever or a full blown mouth breather.
Regardless, you’re real dumb.
