Are there really people who don't believe in wearing the mask?

      You are calculating the size of the virus rather than the size of the droplets that spread the f**king virus. Jesus CHRIST

      I'm actually embarrassed for you

          Retired, work from home or on unemployment? Or none of the above?

          P.S. no reason to lie here

            Nice job at pushing it as a logical fallacy though. Honestly, valiant effort. Unfortunately you're a moron so you can't understand when that idea applies and when it doesn't
            It's not a logical fallacy. I was simply pointing out why soft anecdotal evidence doesn't qualify as a universal truth. Maybe you should check your mindless comrades in mask faction before you get snippy with anyone else. Nobody forced him to go full retard, he did that of his own volition, probably caused by inhaling his own camel breath for 8-10 hours a day, starving his brain of oxygen.

            You're just a dumbed down dolt who parrots whatever's piped to your eyes and ears by the liberal media industrial complex. Your opinion is worthless because it's not even your opinion to begin with. You're a wind-up toy and a cesspool for the rampant junk information bukkake for which you regularly accept with mouth wide open.

              Are you trolling?

              You just said "I was simply pointing out why soft anecdotal evidence doesn't qualify as a universal truth" before immediately going back to anecdotal evidence as if it meant something

              At this point I literally don't even respect your intelligence enough to waste any energy arguing against you. You're obviously an idiot and nothing I could say would break through your thick skull. It would be like beating up a special ed child. Forget it. It's just sad

              Yep, you win, bud. Great job! Gold star

                What the fukk are you even talking about? Because I hit your boy with a "camel breath" quip I'm guilty of presenting "anecdotal evidence?" LOL your head is so far up your own ass you can't even ascertain your environment. You're just reaching for anything that feels like a straw at this point.

                Yeah, you won't waste energy arguing with me because you know you won't so much as make dent. Special ed child... psh, get the fukk outta here you nerd. You're obviously still salty from past encounters when I backhanded you so hard I smeared your lipstick, even through that feminine hygiene product you keep strapped to your face.

                Quit preaching like you're the authority on anything. You're a fukking spittoon for the globalist agenda. Enjoy your intellectual sodomy, derp.

                    That's what pisses me off most about idiots. They haven't a clue but they think they know what's best for everyone else since they don't have any cognitive thinking skills. They eat up everything and anything the media tells them.

                      Nah, I love a good debate. You're just legit too stupid and sad to make one. You just want a pissing contest. I'm fine with that too, don't really care

                      Remind me of those past encounters you're talking about, I'd love to know. I guess you must remember me? That's flattering. I don't really know who the fk you are besides some random loser

                          Stay the fukk home you fat fukk. If masks work why the fukk do you care if others wear it? Makes no sense does it?

                          Keep thinking a stupid mask is gonna save you while you stuff your fat face with fast food and beer. Gotta love stupid fukks that never workout and take care of their bodies while eating like shit telling others their health matters. Typical obese mother fukker that takes up two seats in an airplane.

                            Car crashes also aren't the only way you die, so you shouldn't wear seatbelts? Stop embarrassing yourself

                            No shit they're not the only way the pathogens are transmitted. They are one of the significant ways COVID is transmitted. So wear a fking mask to significantly impede that way and provably reduce your risk of spreading, especially when many cases are asymptomatic so you could be a spreader at any point

                            You don't wear a mask to protect yourself, you wear it to protect others and show you're not a completely selfish dick. Why is this so hard?

                                  Just look at yourself sputtering, wheels spinning in mud. You've lost any and all momentum you may have thought you had when you ambushed from the periphery with your "look at me, I know stuff " attitude laced with haphazard insults. This is beyond anticlimactic. It's like you shot your load in the first five seconds and it landed squarely in your own eye. Don't expect me to be your towel boy. Pathetic.

                                    If he's young and in great shape then he has nothing to worry about. The test doesn't even isolate the virus, it only detects the presence of a certain RNA, which is why countless "positive" cases amount to absolutely nothing, not so much as a symptom. When a procedure is opposed by its own inventor as a means of testing for the virus, I think it speaks volumes.

                                    Your brother is more likely to slip on a banana peel and tumble to his death down a flight of stairs.

                                      I'm chomping at the bit to know who published these amazing results, or was this something you heard on the news?

This is beyond anticlimactic. It's like you shot your load in the first five seconds and it landed squarely in your own eye. Don't expect me to be your towel boy. Pathetic.

                                          Unless you are wearing a N95, N99 or N100 they are literally 10% effective.

                                            10%? Where are you getting this. Also 10% for a highly contagious virus would still be worth. You can't just say 10% arbitrarily. Even a shitty mask prevents long distance droplet travel, so 10% might be true for the dentist or barber that is next to your face (and who should be wearing n95), but the percentage is likely much higher at greater distance (social gathering, classroom, baseball, etc).

                                            Where is this evidence that masks do NOT work?

                                            COVID is a type of coronavirus, and coronaviruses are known to be droplet viruses. The simplest of logic then dictates that you should be WEARING A MASK until proven otherwise. And any type of mask blocks droplets well.

                                            Look at Japan. VERY lax social distancing, lockdowns, shutdowns. BUT, no cultural issues with masks and covid etiquette. Breezing through the pandemic despite having an elderly susceptible population.

                                            There's lots of things I disagree with on both ends of the spectrum these days, but wearing a mask is THE RIGHT CHOICE at this time.

                                              Why does hardly a soul in my country say "masks don't work"??

                                              Why are people not attacking or trying to shame each other in public for wearing or not wearing masks?

                                              Why are so many people in the USA doing the opposite?

                                              Are any other countries having this argument to anywhere near the extent it is happening in the USA?

                                              Why???

                                                It comes down to this. Either wear the mask and try to protect yourself as much as possible, or do not wear the mask and gamble with your health and life. NO ONE in here is a Doctor but many in here are big mouth blow hards who really deserve to get their worthless arses kicked. You guys are totally and unmistakably WORTHLESS.

                                                    What on earth would give anyone the idea that a surgical mask is ineffective? And why would anyone fight with another human because the wore a mask? I can see why one would fight with someone violating a store policy by not wearing a mask, but to attack those wearing a mask is something special...lol.

                                                    Are posters really talking about the size of the virus alone, and how a mask won't stop it? That thinking is severely flawed given that germs usually travel on respiratory droplets, not by themselves, and that is the target of the mask.

                                                    That's just one of the points I read. There are some very significant flaws in a lot of the "arguments" I've read here.

                                                    The biggest one could be the myth that somehow acting in accordance with public health guidelines is some knd of submissoin of rights. There's also a projection here by those against a mask.

                                                    Clearly those against a mask, whether right or wrong, are not thinking for themselves, they are believing anything they can from places like youtube.

                                                    Yet the accusation is that those wearing a mask are mindless sheep.

                                                    It's ok posters, you can talk stupid. But there's no need to act dumb.

The test doesn't even isolate the virus, it only detects the presence of a certain RNA, which is why countless "positive" cases amount to absolutely nothing, not so much as a symptom. When a procedure is opposed by its own inventor as a means of testing for the virus, I think it speaks volumes.

                                                            Your brother is more likely to slip on a banana peel and tumble to his death down a flight of stairs.

                                                            They are testing the RNA to see who's bloodline is from Atlantis. Lol. Joking. I don't know. You are right. The vaccine has sequencing to change your DNA permanently. Just take the needle (not you Eddy) and enjoy chappies!

Maybe you should check your mindless comrades in mask faction before you get snippy with anyone else. Nobody forced him to go full retard, he did that of his own volition, probably caused by inhaling his own camel breath for 8-10 hours a day, starving his brain of oxygen.

Your opinion is worthless because it's not even your opinion to begin with. You're a wind-up toy and a cesspool for the rampant junk information bukkake for which you regularly accept with mouth wide open.

                                                              The mask is causing brain damage to those wearing it for long periods. I know...I know....there isn't much damage it can do to most.....

Either wear the mask and try to protect yourself as much as possible, or do not wear the mask and gamble with your health and life. NO ONE in here is a Doctor but many in here are big mouth blow hards who really deserve to get their worthless arses kicked. You guys are totally and unmistakably WORTHLESS.
                                                                Wearing a mask protects others more than protects you. Wearing a mask is showing care for others not being a selfish bitch.

                                                                      any type of face covering helps prevent transmission, including earloop masks. Now, if it becomes aerosolized I would agree with that statement

                                                                        I am a doctor. No one is worthless. You always talk a big game, but mostly it is just to irritate others or inflate your own ego. I don't know why you think that is productive. Not wearing a mask isn't a gamble, because it doesn't reduce risk, and wearing a mask dehumanizes people and causes more problems with life and quality of life.

                                                                        The science is clear in this fashion: Even N95s don't stop respiratory viruses. Do you want the links to the studies? I will post them if you are curious. Are those of you struck with fear going to listen to high priest Fauci now and also wear goggles? What about when he asks you to wear a space suit? I'm being serious.
