The data says masks don't do much to help anyone.

which data

 

[utvolpj]

thats wrong. Masks were "sold" as a way to protect others because that's what they do/how they work. They protect others more than oneself.

the problem is they are incapable of thinking about anyone than themselves. Sad.

It's not wrong you just buy into the marketing. You are firmly in the middle of their low info, buy anything demographic. Execs get big bonuses because of people like you

You disagree with @kiddiedoc 's sources showing there is no science to validate the claim of mass mask wearing?
Gloves in public would have offered better protection.

marketing LOL

yeah, like the world's medical leaders combined efforts because they wanted to sell and make money off cloth masks. dohhh

 

[Weezer]

just putting it into perspective for the people that think Covid is a hoax or a walk in the park

Have you had COVID? Are you dead? If you're attempting to put it "in perspective" for people, perhaps you should actually have some perspective?

Oh bless your heart. Marketing isn't just about the sale of physical goods. Maybe I should have said propaganda instead of marketing and you would get it

Idk I dont think a random poster on Volnation is any better than the world's most respected doctors and scientists. But if you do, that's cute

Anything other than dying in your sleep at a ripe old age is a horrible way to die.

Heart attack during sex probably isn't all bad.

I have been vigilant and avoided getting the disease, thank God. I had a coworker pass away though

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Except its still Florida so that air smells like ass

Where do you live again?

I didn't ask if you agree with the poster. I asked if you agreed with the sources linked by the poster. Try to answer the actual question this time.

I know sharing facts is important for you.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Its a horrible way to die. You are a regular person on Monday, catch covid, by Thursday you feel like trash. Friday they take you to the hospital and Sunday you are on a ventilator. Good luck getting off that ever

Fear mongering... nicely done. No thinking person buys it though

You're at no risk of that.

Facemasks in the COVID-19 era: A health hypothesis - ScienceDirect

Stanford study that's says
"The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects"

You can review the whole study for yourself.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

yea but getting intubated really really sucks.

I'm guessing it isn't any worse than getting blown up by a land mine 10,000 miles away from home, but I haven't personally experienced either so I wouldn't know.

One study out of 1000s doesn't tell us much. It is dangerous to cherry pick studies that you "agree" with and try to make broad conclusions from that. Science doesn't work that way

doctors/nurses have been wearing masks at hospitals for decades, because its very easy to do and is helpful against airborne disease

I know you're new here (lol) so let me point out the search feature. Also you can click on a poster and click on all messages to sift through their posts.

I'm excited to discuss it with you after you invest a little time to get up to speed.

Funny. The concensus prior to covid in 1000s of studies showed masks were ineffective. But you were quick to ignore it with zero studies cited at the beginning of this.

Right but only a dumbass would say "war is no big deal. Look at all the people that went to war and survived with no issues"

how do you know? you didn't even know me then

 

[Weezer]

And I had it, spent a week in the hospital, and I'm still alive despite all of my mitigating health factors that were supposedly going to lead to it killing me. Did it suck? Absolutely. Am I dead? If so, this must be Hell.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Idk, does it even matter? A pandemic that kills 500K people in less than a year is bad, obviously.

We also dont yet know the long term affects of those who "got covid and didn't even know it"... maybe they will all die young with COPD. ( I hope not)

Heart disease killed 659,000 in 2019. That happens EVERY YEAR. Many are preventable. Why don't you get all vapor locked over that? Then take on smoking related deaths... preventable. This is a one off, Chicken Little.

Surgical teams wear protection. Other health care attendants did not. It wasn't the SOP for decades.

Why did surgical teams wear them?

you are very lucky. Thank God for all the doctors and nurses that saved your life
