Yeah, I get it. I make some stuff up and tell it as fact. Where is your evidence?

Here is a paper linking many RCTs which show no evidence of effectivenes:

Here is a presentation of Systematic reviews of RCTs. The very pinnacle of evidence:

(you can laugh all you want about the presentation. But follow the facts that he presents).

Wanting smthg to be true is not enough unfortunately.

And here's an article that refutes your BS. https://www.kxan.com/news/coronaviru...n-why-they-do/.

[PVMonger]

There are many many peer reviewed studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of masks in reducing spread of Covid, as well as other viruses spread through aerosols.

https://www.kxan.com/news/coronaviru...n-why-they-do/

Also consider the fact that red states with few exceptions have much higher Covid death rates than blue states. Stubborn, bone headed views and practices regarding masks is certainly a contributing factor.

Of course there are studies. Peer reviewed studies.

The moron brigade, led by JustTK and his merry band of idiots, refute anything that doesn't jibe with what the Orange Buffoon told them to think.

[JustTK]

I think the part of the highly effective proper mask wearing mitigation measure that JustTK and others like him keep missing is that the mask works more to reduce the amount of possible virus particles expelled by the mask wearer into the air rather than to prevent them from inhaling whatever is in the air around them. The more virus particles get trapped or filtered out of an infected person wearing a mask, the fewer particles per million are circulating in the space for anyone else with or without a mask to inhale.
See, a study that shows someone wearing a mask will still inhale much of whatever is airborne in the room misses the point. But those types love to miss the point. So they cite those studies.
Get it now, guys?

How Australia Saved Thousands of Lives While COVID Killed 1 Million Americans.

That lasted well didn't it? Haha.

Australians were so enthralled by their authoritarian government's severe lockdowns restrictions in order to save a few lives at the expense of loss of quality of life for everyone and the destruction of the economy and financial futures of many, that they kicked out the prime minister at the first opportunity and installed a left wing party.

[JustTK]

I'll show you examples of you praising the Orange Buffoon when you show examples of the RCTs that prove unequivocably that masks don't help stop the spread of COVID. .

What a dumb request. Unequivocal is not an outcome that anyone claims. But you could easiily look for examples that I praised Trump. I understand you do not want to do it bcos you know your wrong again.

[JustTK]

You haven't read anything tying economic boom times with Dem administrations (captains on a ship) and economic plunges with Repub administrations over the past 100 years?.

No, and I am not going to waste my time to research it either since I would find a report that shows the underlying global factors are more important (WW1, WW2, new tech, global pandemic etc), and you will just show me another report that you think is more important. So why not just show me that report and save me time? After all, its your claim. Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

[JustTK]

So you just agreed with somebody who hurled an insult at those who disagree with him (as do the facts) and you are apparently just fine with his post that appears not to contain one single provably true sentence or phrase in it. LOL..

You can't let go, can you? Is this your second account? -are you WTF JPaedo?

I have o problem chatting w Elvis. We exchange ideas and opinions and disagree on many things. But we don't insutl each other. Treat some one w respect and you might earn it return.

[EihTooms]

WTF does that have to do with anything?

An open wound in July 2020? WTF are you talking about? You are mentally ill. I do not think you know what Covid is or how it infects or how it spreads.

Guess what. Masking in surgical rooms became a "tradition" in the USA soon after 1918. Let's see if any stable geniuses here can figure out why.

Hint: For the same reason they would have become a "tradition" after 2020 if they hadn't been a "tradition" already.

If the world were as scrubbed down, sterilized and everyone in it as checked and sanitized as people in an operating room, I suppose mask -wearing would have shown only minimal protection against infection in this regard.

But only between 1918 and 2020.

Then new "traditional" rules applied. And for a very good reason.

Washington the see—In a move to help alleviate pain at the pump, the Biden Administration has announced a $1 billion initiative to provide grief and trauma counselors to stand by at all gas pumps across the nation.

The plan will fund licensed therapists and psychiatrists to stand at the ready at gas pumps from New York to California to comfort people mourning the loss of hundreds of dollars every time they fill up their tanks.

"There, there. It's going to be OK," said one grief counselor as a woman filled up her VW at a gas pump in California. "Times like these can be difficult to cope with, but we can survive Putin's Price Hike if we look deep within ourselves for strength and guidance. Now, let's try some breathing exercises. ".

Another woman in Ohio burst into tears after paying over $3 for gas for the first time in her life.

"Shhh, shhh, it's OK, honey," said one therapist, stroking her hair. "You're going through the stages of grief. Soon, you'll learn to live with $10 gas. You literally won't even remember when gas was as cheap as it was when Trump was President. . .

Comments:

Where is Briben going to get the money for the $1 billion initiative? Probably with a new gas tax.

(CNS News.com) -- During a campaign stop on Nov. 2, 2020, then-President Donald Trump touted the low gasoline prices of the time and warned that if Joe Biden became president, Americans would end up paying $7, $8, even $9 a gallon. Trump also said that, in response to those high gas prices, the Biden administration would tell people to get rid of their cars. "It's an incredible thing that's happened over the last few years, a lot of great things," said Trump. "And you're paying, what, $2 a gallon for your gasoline? That's okay. ".

Will Giuliani give up his former boss that is stiffing him?

Fuck, you could be all paid up with your attorney.

And still get screwed by him.

Rudy is in the toughest place imaginable for someone with an ugly 77 year-old ass.

He's being stiffed for most of the work he did in 2021.

He's been stripped of his bar license.

Dominion looks to be on the winning side of a 1.5 billion lawsuit.

He's the leader and creator of hundreds of false electors in seven states.

Something or someone's got to give.

And Rudy Giulian's looking like someone who can be turned.

In any direction for the best deal.

Everyone! Hold your noses! The stench is about to be released. This will not be pleasant.

For some.

I first wrote this post on February 14th.

I am willing to bet that we will see Rudy giving testimony in the next two weeks as the House Subcommittee televises more hearings.

I would even give 2:1 odds.

Too bad Predict it does not offer that wager yet.

[Gino02]

LOL. This was covered in 2000 mules which you dumb Dems failed to watch. The same method used to catch this guy were used to show the 2020 election was rigged.

Pretty soon even Buyden will ask these dumb Dems here to shut it. He's probably thinking "how TF these people can be dumber than me!" LOL.

[PVMonger]

My God, you are stupid, "Health experts say Covid-19 restrictions could have reduced exposure and lowered immunity to infectious diseases, making society more vulnerable to new outbreaks. Influenza, Respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, tuberculosis and monkeypox are among a number of viruses to have spiked and exhibited strange behaviors in recent months. "

This is why you do not lock down you dumb ass. By locking down, you lower immunity and allow the spread of diseases. When New Zealand locked down, they had an epidemic of RSV, yet you dumb Dems just looked at them and said what a success they were. When you lock down, you fuck up societal immune systems, and these are the unintended consequences of said lockdown.

In addition, mental health issues soared, suicides skyrocket, opioid deaths were never higher, and you dumb Dems still talk about how Trump should have locked down harder as it would have saved lives and yet everything you mentioned has been proven not to work.

You are the poster child for stupid. You, of course, failed to include the following, probably because it does against your ignoramus worldview: "However, he also warned of the role of "surveillance bias," whereby individuals and medical professionals are more likely to report cases of diseases as they grow more high profile. That suggests that some viruses, such as monkeypox, may appear to be growing when in fact they were previously underreported. ".

Talk about being stupid! You certainly take the cake for that.

You Rethuglicans are the dumbest people on earth. You praise someone who beats a shirtless person senseless for disrespecting a business' "No Shirt. No Shoes. No Service. " sign yet you rebel at another business' "Wear a mask while inside. " sign. Truly mindblowing.

The real reasons you don't like the study I linked to are: (1) The study was from Bangladesh; and (2) the study is outside your confirmation bias.

There are many many peer reviewed studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of masks in reducing spread of Covid, as well as other viruses spread through aerosols.

Also consider the fact that red states with few exceptions have much higher Covid death rates than blue states. Stubborn, bone headed views and practices regarding masks is certainly a contributing factor.
