Republicans were right again, as usual.

[scruffy]

Again. Don't bet the farm on it. Long way to go.

Doesn't matter. Progtard fate is sealed.

The egg cy on the economy was way overblown. Fake news.

You are bypassing our discussion about masks. Is it because that video makes you look stupid for claiming that masks work?

I'm addressing it head on. I've given you a link that says your post is bullshit. As this article is. When I read who wrote it, that became clear.
An opinion piece by a couple of right leaning doctors...I'll take it for the biased slant that it is.

 

[shockedcanadian]

This is extremism on behalf of Trump, that should have been defused when he said 'safe and effective'. It's only going to get supported by extremists.

This is why the West is losing. The alt-left, America Last cult has done the near impossible, they have turned Trump into a sympathetic figure.

Trump says "we did not collude with Russia", you blame him for the two + year crusade against him that did immense damage to America, its allies and even perception with enemies. For instance, did the Russian people feel better hearing the constant attacks on Russia every day? Talk about enforcing Putins power by demonizing his country for something that wasn't true, all to protect Hillary and her Party. Now THAT is EXTREMISM.

Trump says "protest peacefully" and you blame him for the 1/6 protest, even as Capital police let them in and engage in another "Hearing" (along with his two Impeachments, this is four so far).

Trump says he took the vaccine, they are "safe and effective" and you blame "extremism" on him.

You and your fantasy land cult are the worst of the lot and incredibly lacking self awareness. Covid only further exposed it for all to see.

Your article claimed that n95 masks filter out small and large particles. That simply isnt true. Look at the video picture for christ sake. Do you see anything being filtered?




Your article is exactly the kind of disinformation you lefties have been pushing on COVID and why people are now leaving the CDC in droves.

Masks were and are effective in protecting others.

Drop the ridiculous extremist views that they aren't!

We said shutdowns were bad, we said masks were bad, we said school closures were bad, we said the vaccines and boosters for children were bad, but we were called anti science for it. Remember? This is simply another thing we were right about and the left was wrong about. This seems to be the constant trend in the past several years.

Now there is a mass exodus from the CDC because you fucking left wingers refused to allow any discussion on COVID while you pushed your false science.


“It’s like a horror movie I’m being forced to watch and I can’t close my eyes,” one senior FDA official lamented. “People are getting bad advice and we can’t say anything.”

That particular FDA doctor was referring to two recent developments inside the agency. First, how, with no solid clinical data, the agency authorized COVID vaccines for infants and toddlers, including those who already had COVID. And second, the fact that just months before the FDA bypassed its external experts to authorize booster shots for young children.
That doctor is hardly alone.

At the NIH, doctors and scientists complain to us about low morale and lower staffing: The NIH’s Vaccine Research Center has had many of its senior scientists leave over the last year, including the director, deputy director and chief medical officer. “They have no leadership right now. Suddenly there’s an enormous number of jobs opening up at the highest level positions,” one NIH scientist told us. (The people who spoke to us would only agree to be quoted anonymously, citing fear of professional repercussions.)

The CDC has experienced a similar exodus. “There’s been a large amount of turnover. Morale is low,” one high level official at the CDC told us. “Things have become so political, so what are we there for?” Another CDC scientist told us: “I used to be proud to tell people I work at the CDC. Now I’m embarrassed.”
Why are they embarrassed? In short, bad science.

The longer answer: that the heads of their agencies are using weak or flawed data to make critically important public health decisions. That such decisions are being driven by what’s politically palatable to people in Washington or to the Biden administration. And that they have a myopic focus on one virus instead of overall health.

Nowhere has this problem been clearer — or the stakes higher — than on official public-health policy regarding children and COVID.
First, they demanded that young children be masked in schools. On this score, the agencies were wrong. Compelling studies later found schools that masked children had no different rates of transmission. And for social and linguistic development, children need to see the faces of others.
A child is held by her mother as she receives a COVID-19 dose.

Next came school closures. The agencies were wrong — and catastrophically so. Poor and minority children suffered learning loss with an 11-point drop in math scores alone and a 20% drop in math pass rates. There are dozens of statistics of this kind.

Then they ignored natural immunity. Wrong again. The vast majority of children have already had COVID, but this has made no difference in the blanket mandates for childhood vaccines. And now, by mandating vaccines and boosters for young healthy people, with no strong supporting data, these agencies are only further eroding public trust.
One CDC scientist told us about her shame and frustration about what happened to American children during the pandemic: “CDC failed to balance the risks of COVID with other risks that come from closing schools,” she said. “Learning loss, mental health exacerbations were obvious early on and those worsened as the guidance insisted on keeping schools virtual. CDC guidance worsened racial equity for generations to come. It failed this generation of children.

US agencies aren’t ‘following the science’ on COVID — and staff are too scared to complain

Silencing physicians is not “following the science.” Less absolutism and more humility by the men and women running our public health agencies would go a long way in rebuilding public trust.

The whole shitten mess was political from the start. You will obey the government. If you don't obey the government there will be consequences. If you dare say anything against the government, there will be consequences. The government's truth is the only truth. Everything else is just misinformation. Even medical professionals who dared question the government had their licenses taken away.

How can an n95 mask protect others from COVID? COVID particles flow freely right through masks. Quit spreading false science.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Honestly, all I can say to Republicans right now is...shut the fuck up!

Can face masks protect against COVID-19?

Face masks can help slow the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Learn about mask types, which masks to use and how to use them.

Do mask mandates work? Bay Area data from June says no.

Word salad is how you describe the facts that you would never acknowledge anyways, clearly.

The extremism you refer to has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with people looking out for their own health and not wanting government to dictate what makes sense for them.

Just give people the facts and let them decide. It is no more extreme for me to watch people smoke, drink booze, eat high carb, high sugar junk food and NOT tell them "hey, you are killing yourself with your exteme habits: In fact, you should be denied work and travel due to these decisions!".

 

[meaner gene]

Republicans said COVID a was a hoax
They ignored masks and social distancing
They encouraged people not to vaccinate
They advocated crackpot cures

Hundreds of thousands died because of RW misinformation

I'm thinking they do it on purpose to drive up Bidens COVID death toll.

Kinda like when they thought they had it under control, they sabotage the system for political purposes.

It's not absolute protection but they're at least as effective as covering a cough or a sneeze with a hankerchief.
The real issue is the reason for all the denial?

Otherwise it's a silly debate that doesn't deserve attention by normal people who don't have a hard-on for the sake of politics.

I'm outta it right now!

No, people died because of leftwing misinformation. Like lying about face masks, claiming they filter the virus when in fact they don’t. Then you all lied about the safety of Coof Vax, when in fact there is no science proving their long term safety. Now millions of people have serious health issues or will in the future thanks to experimental vaccines the left mandated for many.

 

[Winco]

Those scumbag progtards should be drawn and quartered, every last one of them.

Next time there's a public health "crisis" we're going to tell the public health "officials" to go fuck off.

In fact.... why wait?

Why wait????

You’ve been telling everyone to fuck off ever since pos trump
You can’t start something you’ve already been doing.

More false information. Because virus transport isn't in gascious form.

Picture someone determined to spit on a police officer. All it takes to prevent it is any piece of cloth covering his mouth.

Means nothing. As has been pointed out, a virus isn't a gas.
If you don't want to wear a mask. Don't.
But don't give the people who are a hard time. Or the business owners that have the right to require it.
You don't like it, look away or go somewhere else.

"The piece states that high-quality, well-fitting masks can help minimize an individual’s risk of catching or spreading COVID-19, but community-level mandates have failed to affect case rates because the virus is so contagious that it spreads easily in the moments when people take their masks off to eat, drink or be comfortable".

[Indeependent]

Yep. Denial. Pretty much what Republicans have been doing from the word go. Selfish and arrogant.
You did notice that after your savior failed to react to the virus landing on our shore and the thousands of dead bodies piling up each week,
that Democrat AND Republican governors, mayors, and business leaders were forced to act in the interest of public health.
And just think, if you deniers would have just done the right thing..all those lockdowns and restrictions..may not have been necessary.
Eat that.

15 Democrat MDs in Congress at the time and not one said a word.
