Wearing a mask outside has always been dumb.
Yeah, it's like putting on sunscreen to go sit in a movie theater.
It’s like putting on sunscreen to go to the beach. You can get burnt, tanned or not effected at all depending on how you act
If you look at that studies on these masks? They are all done indoors.
Everyone knows that if there is an air current at all, they will be swept up, and there is absolutely nothing that a mask will do to help you. . . NOTHING.
Ok, but would you say that for the indoor conditions that these studies were conducted in that masks were effective in slowing the spread of the virus?
I'm ambivalent on the issue. The health benefits may not outweigh the social harms. The scientific evidence seems . . largely inconclusive.

Thank you. But aside from whether you support them or not you will say that after looking at the science they are effective in crowded indoor settings is that correct?

You know who Deep Throat is, and his advice to Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward?
I just read through over 5 studies that you posted and I’m trying to ask your opinion, so before I jump into another slew of articles and a new subject how about you just give me a straight answer about mask effectiveness and finish this topic
There is no reason why anybody should take any studies seriously if they have watched this video. The truth that everybody knows deep down is self evident when you watch this:
That’s just stupid. Are you seriously thinking that was a good video?
I have asked a couple people I know who vape to exhale their vape through a mask, and it looks just like in that video. A 5 year old can watch that and know better than to question it. Are you really questioning what you have seen with you very own eyes? You already know good and well that breath passes effortlessly through and around masks, since you have worn them. So does vape exhalation vapors and virus carrying vapors. You already know that nobody can explain how viruses and droplets are filtered out by masks that have holes or pores that are 1000 times larger. You know that the vapor that fogs up your glasses acts just like in that video. Trust your eyes slade, you have seen the truth with your own eyes. Why would you doubt your own two eyes and start looking at scientific studies? Is there any scientific study that can make you doubt what you see with your own two eyes?
Wait... are you under the impression that people think when you put a mask on no air gets in or out?!
my favorite part of the video is when the “doctor” has every mask in the book except the N95.... haha doesn’t get much better than that, please don’t make me explain the level of stupid in that video, you have to know and just be playing around... right?
I'm disappointed in you slade, because I know that you don't believe masks work. Stop for a moment and think about what you saw on that video. I know there is some stupid culture in this country, but c'mon. Do you realize just how stupid it is to watch that and then go around defending mask culture? With an objective mind like yours, you should be embarrassed to be seen in a mask, and you should feel insulted to have to wear one. You may feel stuck having to defend this mask scam, but you can switch to common sense anytime. Watch the video again, and ask yourself if you really want to be defending mask culture. Isolate yourself from ideology for a moment and let common sense take over.
I don’t feel insulted at all. I’m sick of masks and I can’t wait for my state to lift the mandate. I think it should be lifted by now but I wear my mask anyways when I’m around others that are wearing masks even though I’ve been vaccinated because I don’t want to make other people feel uncomfortable. It’s consideration for others not fear or sheep culture, and I think it’s a shame that people are out there shaming others for trying to be good safe and considerate citizens. My sister just had a baby a week ago and spent most of the past year pregnant which made her an extremely high risk of serious effects should she contract COViD. My concern for her and her baby’s well being is what drives me to act safely and makes me disgusted at those out there playing tough fast and lose.
My cousin is a big trumper, he thinks COVID is no different than the flu, he refuses to wear a mask or get the vaccine. He just caught Covid and spread it to his wife brother sister in law her two kids her father and his Obese alcoholic mother, my aunt, with all kinds of health problems. I just found out she tested positive. Keep your fingers crossed she survives please.
That video you posted is a joke. Did you ask yourself why that guy didn’t put on an N95 mask? Because you’d still see smoke come out and N95s are proven to be effective that’s why doctors wear them them during survey. Did you wonder why he didn’t blow the smoke with no mask on? Because you’d see it fly straight into the camera lens and spread throughout the room at a much greater degree than what the masks produced. It would have been obvious that the masks where both reducing volume and spread of the smoke which is the whole point.
