[W:4,590] Study Finds Face Masks Didn’t Slow Spread Of Covid-19

Probably because half the people wearing them, wore them as a chin diaper, and a lot of people just flat didn't wear one at all, mandate be darned.


Me, I wore one everywhere* until I got vaccinated, and I didn't get Covid even though many around me, who were less stringent in their precautions, did get it. Good enough for me.

*I also didn't go out much, did social distancing from anyone I didn't live with, washed my hands, and so on. I kept my distance from most of my relatives too, even though it was painful, because they claimed to be taking precautions but their Facebook pictures revealed they were not. I lost an uncle, several fellow churchmembers and a couple of acquaintances who weren't careful, so there ya go.

Florida, Texas, Arizona, South Dakota is real-life proof.....not from some academic journal.

What I mean is that you hand wave away anything that does not fit your uneducated opinion.

"tomean" is a typo. Educated people can separate and read it. How is my opinion uneducated when you can't be anything but Putin propaganda and not American facts and truth.

Proof? Show that stats. All you have done is list states. Sorry, but I'm not uneducated nor am I a right winger. I'm an American who doesn't do right wing Putin unfounded propaganda. You have to lift up to intelligent, or we could be through here.

What are you babbling about?

I know what a typo is. I am having fun at Paradoxical's expense.

And what "Putin propaganda" do you imagine I have posted?

And what "American facts and truth" have I missed?

Is not the CDC Americans?

Support the idea that face masks don't stop the spread. Your list of states just proved they do.

If I have to explain what facts and truths are, then you are too far gone

Before you go any further I suggest you look at who you are responding to.

You have a major friendly fire incident in play.

I am NOT Paradoxical.

Feel free to wallow in ignorance for your entire lifetime it's of no concern to me.
Not my job to support your argument.

I didn't make an argument I just don't believe your claims. And I have my reasons if you want to say the irrational that's your job to prove it.

They don't like me because I am here online often and won't put up with the BS they spout to impress their friends. I won't relent in going after their lies, half-truths, and misinformation. They don't like that I expose the fraudulent information they get from political hacks, former Obama officials on CNN and MSNBS that they adopt because they are tribal people and must believe the ones they perceive to be authority figures such and Lemon, Cuomo, Joy Reid ad the worst of all, Fausti. they don't want their side questioned at all and use the time-worn and often effective tactics of denigration, demeaning, hating, ostracizing and shaming, and guilt.

Note how often their side uses guilt and shame in a discussion on COVID. If you DARE say that a death rate of children of .003%, they slam you with feigned outrage that you are heartless and don't care if .003 % of children die, or grannies and grampas that had at least 6 more months to go if not for COVID.

I am tired of the few here who dismiss actual facts and evidence because some scientists write technical papers showing that a mask MAU stop some droplets from direct contact while ignoring all the other papers from those who study this more specifically like aerobiologists who have PROVEN through testing that airborne particles can and are suspended in the air and stay viable for minutes to hours and that THOSE droplets e NOT the same size as coughs and sneezes but are far smaller, as small as 3 microns and even surgical masks can't stop all of them. So, what they do is CLAIM they "help", as if someone that is emitting a million particles in the store (proven) and those millions are riding on wafts of air that then settle down onto the faces of customers will not be breathed in.

Forget all this nonsense about masks stopping smaller particles (they don't"). The biggest issue is that people walking in stores are not doctors and don't worry or think about the large openings on the sides of one's nose and cheek. No one wants to talk about this because it is the elephant in the room and they look like Buckwheat if you bring it up. Ask any of them where the science is on that and you will get them to shut up. There is an old saying that the proof is in the pudding, which is Texas, Florida, South Dakota, Arizona, etc., all of whom eliminated masks with NO increase in infections or deaths even though Fausti, Biden, and all of MSM said it would lead to catastrophe. They were dead wrong and the left still listens to those jerks.

I've noticed that if you say something that undermines their narrative they must respond it's not that they want to they're compelled to. I think that these people think that what they're doing is making a legitimate argument but that's only in their head.

They live in cults just like Scientology and because they hang only with Scientologists they get their approval and affirmation from fellow believers. When someone like you comes along and says something like "Prove thetans are real" they can't believe that there would be any question of that and take exception to there being any question. If Sally and Bob and renowned actors believe, who are you to question?

Yep. MSM, the NY Ties, WaPo, and those "in authority" tell them what they are saying is the truth and regardless of facts that show differently, they just don't care. They are the true believers and wear that badge with honor.

Funny you should speak of ignorance. Really.

Carry on refusing science.

They will even deny everything that doesn't affirm their master's narrative.

They even have their own rituals to deny things they don't like.
 
Why do folks wear masks in the operating room?

That is ideal when people do so, now when the do not know they have the virus and go out, they infect others

Masks reduce but do not eliminate transmission

They don't prevent infectious diseases from spreading. What other reason would there be?

I see..so you belive all the medical providers that wear masks and plead with you to wear a mask are in a grand conspiracy .
Hmmm ..please explain the purpose of this grand conspiracy.
