Here is one of the "studies" that has been used to promote the anti-scientific notion that masks are a useful tool for public health. Scroll down to the comments which completely demolish the methodology of the study. That this "study" is also anti-science is not disputable. Garbage in garbage out. And this is the level of "study" or "models" used in all aspects of this Covid fraud by the lockdown lunatics.

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.
I have no strong opinion about the masks.
What I cannot understand for the life of me is:
Why are some people so strongly opinionated against the masks?
What is it that could make someone have such a strong opinion about the masks?

Very solid logic there. Good work liberal America.
What about the rest of the world? Are they also liberals and leftists? It's not only US democrats that are advocating masks.
How many of these should we do? Now of course the "more cases" is due to more testing with PCR cycles amped up to produce desired result, but hey if the maskey-sciencey folks truly believe in their garlic necklaces shouldn't we see significant reduction in the fabricated cases? You can't have it both ways now.

You might want to take a look at the lunacy "effectiveness" of mask mandates in "rest of the world."
However for a better explanation you should look into IMF loans.
Remember if you don't agree to the terms of the phony "War on Terror" you won't be getting your IMF loan if you are a UK poodle or fascistic Canadian neo-liberal prime minister- etc......
You know that history right?
Face masks have become the de rigueur accessory for the virtue signaler. Masks are used as both a political tool and a form of emotional blackmail.
There are certain sectors of the sanctimonious mask wearers who resent those of us who happily walk around without these muzzles. "How dare you walk around laughing and breathing fresh air while I have to suffer so."
This gives the wearer an opportunity to demonstrate their worthiness to their fellow citizens while affording the opportunity to ‘look down’ upon those not wearing them while feeling morally superior. It is a hierarchy of morality.
It the fashion equivalent of the experian credit score where people of like minded willingness obey all and everything they are told by the MSM. They can then feel they ‘belong’ and are part of the message to shield, isolate and "flatten the curve."
They get to feel they are a part of the great new normal and get to feel virtuous as a result.
The reality is they are brainwashed sheep who have outsourced their critical thinking skills to the whims of bureaucrats with the reward they get to still believe in ‘democracy’ and ‘society’ because in reality they believe in nothing at all. Their ‘faith’ in this quack science is evidence of their faith in nothing at all.
They are the gauleiters of the brave new world.
All research in mask effectiveness against viruses before March 2020 show masks do not work. There has been no changes in how masks are made and the side of the box of masks say they don’t work against viruses. Stop the bull.

Wow. What a sad, tragic naive view of the world.
Kind of like asking "NBC said this, but also BBC & BFM are saying it too"

mmm, yes. Why could someone be so opposed to being forced to wear a mask... I mean, It's like, why where the slaves so opposed to wearing those chains anyway? I mean, it's just a minor inconvenience.
My observation is that mask "compliance" is reflective of shaming culture. Highest compliance is in the Asian communities, closely followed by white liberals, lowest is among urban blacks and rural whites. .

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.
Funny, it's the people saying stop telling me what to do and violating my first amendment rights to assembly that are the fascists. I didn't realize that's how it works I'll reread the part. I must of missed the sentence where it said "Freedom to .... unless your governer or local health official with liberal arts degrees decide they know what better for you than you do."
One doctor compared compelled masking to putting an Orwellian jackboot on the face of citizens.
Certainly countries like CCP are taking note at how weak and compliant Americans are in the face of history's most overblown pandemic. They are licking their chops at a New World Order that puts them at the top. All it took was a serving of average respiratory bug with the branding of "novel" and some propaganda footage of people lying face-up in the street and residents being sealed into their dwellings.
Where exactly did this play out other than in Chinese media?
(^This is the utopian image of "two weeks away" sought by Roy and gorilla-boy)
Least compliance is observed in most countries. Nigeria has the typical results of non-far left countries. Low cases & deaths. Out of a country of 200+ million people. Most of the states in the country did not mandate mask wearing. People did not social distance. People are currently rioting all over the country without masks or social distancing. This will not make any difference to covid outcome. But the covid cult ignores reality. For some reason they hold steadfast not to science but science fiction.
One of the framers of the "Great Barrington Declaration:" Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Professor of Medicine at Stanford, specifically addresses masks in this brief interview:
"No randomized evidence that suggests mask mandates would work to slow the spread of the disease."
"For influenza, the randomized studies that have been done suggest they don't work to slow the spread of the disease."
Masks don't work.
we should mask up wrote:
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.
So, this virus is so contagious and deadly that if two people approach each other at 3 mph and pass within 5' 6" of each other for a split second, then someone could end up dead.
But throw a $4 mask made in China on your face, and all is good.
And you buy this?
A little common sense folks.
This pandemic thing is fake and being used to consolidate the power and wealth of the oligarchs.

So what is the common sense explanation for the extra 300k deaths that we have had in the US since there is no pandemic? Are the oligarchs going around andmurdering people?
Seriously does anyone think a mask keeps them 100% safe versus reducing the spread by about 95% (depends on the study but they are all in that range)? Are people on the right really that uneducated with a poor grasp of viral spread?
I have no strong opinion about the masks.

Umm...well, they are massively unpleasant to wear, for starters.
Here's the CDC guidance on masks:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.htmlWear masks in public settings when around people not living in your household and particularly where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations. Masks may slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others.
COVID-19 can be spread by people who do not have symptoms and do not know that they are infected. That’s why it’s important for everyone to practice social distancing (staying at least 6 feet away from other people) and wear masks in public settings. Masks provide an extra layer to help prevent the respiratory droplets from traveling in the air and onto other people.
Please follow the guidance of trustworthy sources rather than random dudes with a YouTube channel or a blog, known cranks, or those who have sacrificed science for notoriety.

They are against masks because Der Trump politicized the use of them. Of course masks work. They cut down on the viral "load" which is why surgeons wear them and medical people wear them. No one said they 100% protect you, but if you wear a mask, socially distance, and wash your hands after being out in public, you have a very good chance of not getting infected. If you couldn't care less if you get infected, then at least don't be a jerk so that you get it and infect others, because someone will die. Might be an older person, might be someone who is immunocompromised, might be someone who is very Vitamin D deficient, but someone will die.

Yup. Let's just follow a corrupt organization that is obviously a tool of the left that has caused immeasurable misery and is directly responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. That's cute.
