Face masks don't help and never did

You would think that a minimum level of decency would require one to try to prevent spreading a deadly, contagious disease.

Are you still masking whenever you go to the supermarket, museum or bar?

@no1marauder said
No, the experts in the health field say that is no longer necessary.

Or to put it another way: The control freaks caved to the growing backlash from ordinary people seeing through their BS.

I believe every person now knows first hand or at most second hand someone who has either had a bad reaction to the juice or died suddenly and suspiciously.

Like I said, an internet crank pretending he knows more than medical experts.

Never denied covid, never said masks don't work. Some masks work given specific conditions of which 99.99% of the mask zombies didn't obey which at best rendered them useless, at worst did more harm than good.

If you were true to this:

"You would think that a minimum level of decency would require one to try to prevent spreading a deadly, contagious disease."

What’s actually interesting about covid, masks and vaccinations is that the people down-playing the pandemic, who are anti-mask (for whatever absurd reason, but don’t whine about washing hands) and are anti-vaccination, are all from one side of the political spectrum.

So the concept of health, by health authorities and viral experts is a political concept.

A matter too complicated for the general public and politicians, is discussed by Fox news presenters, the likes of trump and MB.
All from the same political angle.

Very weird.

Nothing complicated shag doody, you got scared of the wuflu, you want to appear self-righteous holier than thou with your stupid pointless rag go ahead.

The rag as worn by most people (statistically all) was at best - useless and at worst - did more harm than good. It may have stopped a few drops (these droplets being a tiny tiny % of your exhale) only for the wearer to ...[text shortened]... your panties at that thought)

There can be no doubt mask mandates did nothing to slow the spread.

Masks work.

Mask mandates don't work.

What data supports such a claim? Here's a factoid relating to public school reopenings in Florida, Fall 2021:

"In districts such as Broward and Miami-Dade that began the school year with mask requirements, per capita COVID-19 case rates among students were 2.6 times lower than in districts that made masking optional. School districts without mask requirements had nearl ...[text shortened]... ricts that required masks."

Nope. I followed the advice of medical experts and none of them said it was necessary to adopt the extreme measures you, as an internet crank, suggest.

EDIT: I edited the above post to give you the chance to inform us of the basis for your expert opinions on these matters.

You could also point out the articles you have had published in the relevant medical areas covered by professional, peer reviewed journals.

Do you want a graph showng cases going up after masks were mandated, you know there are plenty to choose from. It can be made to look like mask mandates caused cases to go up.
