I might as well post the link.

*Scientific studies --- I need to proof read.

Mssks are here to stay. It's the right thing to do. We can't wait until Nov 3 when we can finally get s competent leader who will mandate them. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Good studies, overwhelming evidence that wearing a mask doesn't work.

Even worse, wearing a mask is harmful in many ways, especially to children and the elderly.

Why do people blindly do what they're told to do in the media, even when it doesn't make any sense and is harmful? Why can't people think for themselves?

That's right dunes - masks are unhealthy to wear for long periods of time especially for children & the elderly. Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, a renowned microbiologist and one of the most cited researchers in German history, has been very vocal against the wearing of masks for health reasons:

In addition, here's a peer-reviewed paper reporting the significant reduction of hemoglobin 02 saturation in surgeons wearing surgical masks during operations lasting more than an hour:

This is really cool.

I just wear my mask over my mouth and breath in through my nose the whole time.

It's widely known now at all of the stores that I go to that the store employees will not tell you to cover up your nose too. As long as you're making somewhat of an effort and as long as it looks somewhat decent on camera then you're in the clear.

All of the store employees are kind of fed up with it so they aren't going to go out of their way to tell any of the customers to cover their nose as well.

well I'm convinced. previously i was of the opposite view but people constantly reposting their opinion on letsrun has changed my mind.

similarly my view of Trump and Biden has turned 180 degrees thanks to letsrun posters.

keep up the good work people. the countless hours you spend rehashing the same tired junk does not go waste.

You Fascists are trying to stigmatize mask wearing and many of you are so ugly that you should wear masks with or without a pandemic.

The whole saga of mask wearing is astonishing. WHO, CDC and everybody accepted it (after they had rejected it for decades) without any evidence (RCT) that it worked. They used a flawed meta- analysis in June, published in Lancet commissioned by WHO. These were only observational studies which are inherently biased.

Furthermore several studies referenced were studies of face masks in hospital settings, which are absurd to compare with community wearing of masks. Many were from China and substandard and almost laughable that Western nations swallowed these studies. Since June not a single RCT study has been published(All published RCT studies of flu show no effect of masks).

The world’s only RCT study of masks/no masks in C-19 was finished in early July in Denmark. No result has been published. There are rumors because of so few cases enrolled (the first wave in Denmark mild) so no statistical conclusion could be drawn. But the Rigshospital, Copenhagen ,Denmark,(where this RCT study was done) has not introduced extra or further wearing of masks from the Danish guidelines as regards mask. This they might have done from an ethical standpoint if there was any evidence of effect in the preliminary study.

It is extraordinary that CDC, Lancet, the "torchbearer of evidence-based medicine" accept these substandard studies going against all earlier principles. This is a psyop political decision. They have also even published articles that mask wearing could attenuate the infection like a variolation.

Mask fanatics are on a medieval level in their thinking. More akin to the self-flagellation in time of the black death.

Wearing a mask protects you and your reputation so that you are not know as the disrespectful a-hole.

If nothing else, at least there’s that.

Basically every study for the last hundred years has concluded that masks don't work outside of medical settings.

It was only since June or so that "studies" have started to say otherwise, which have largely been just silly lab photography of people talking/coughing into masks.

In the real world, practically everyone is wearing a mask in public, and yet transmission is continuing unabated...exactly the way the previous century's worth of research would have suggested.

Very solid logic there. Good work liberal America.

Did you actually read the conclusions in this article? They are mainly: "we have no legitimate research and don't know if masks work, but they can't hurt, probably, and they make people ."

For now, (Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.), wears a mask. Yet he laments the “lack of scientific rigour” that has so far been brought to the topic. “We criticize people all the time in the science world for making statements without any data,” he says. “We’re doing a lot of the same thing here.”

Also, the large Danish study referenced in the article is done. The lead researcher, Thomas Lars Benfield, says the paper is written and will be published "as soon a journal is brave enough" to do so. I think we can all infer what that means...the study likely showed masks do nothing.

You're just living in it.

Having a good reputation in your community and being respectful is good for your business. That's the most cynical way to look at it, but people are feel much happier when they think they are giving their money to a good person rather than a bad person, government, or corporation.

If you truly are a good person, then people will know that. However, if you truly are a good person then you are already wearing a mask for more noble reasons.

If there was a small possibility that you wearing a mask would help a small amount of people and you were a good person, then you were already wearing the mask.

Pointless sacrifice isn't noble, it's stupid.

Plus, I can infer from this that you never drive a car, since doing so surely puts others at more risk than if you never drove at all.

Everything I don't like is fascist. I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!!!

Oh oh. The rabid covid cult is painted into a corner. They're frothing at the mouth. Watch out.

It's a small number of them, but they are extreme and will bite you if they start realizing their far left GODS have been deceiving them.
