Why are wearing masks still an issue?

[888theGreat]

It says on the box that masks will not prevent the spreading of viruses , yet educated college degree liberals apparently can't read and still think Masks make a difference.

The more educated , the less common sense a person seems to have.

Because educated people act stupid and can't read the box

Because liberals need this to control people

Liberals just won;'t accept the facts

All of the above

Also , why hasn't this question gotten a flame from Gag with this many responses?
A) Because this my question and gag treats me like Democrats /media/fbi does trump
B) Because GAG is ran with inconsistency
C) Because other reason

[lightbulb27]

why do medical personnel wear them when they operate on you? The N-95/Europe masks help. Nothing is foolproof. The blue masks are useless, no idea why they sell them... because people want to feel safer?

masks in school another matter. I don't know any students required to wear them, that is good. exception basis.

They know wave #X... is coming... it is... it always will be...

Why is china still shutting down cities and wearing masks... they don't want this crap to spread.. they probably created it, if not intentionally then by mistake. If they took the masks off and opened up cities and it spread over the world like wildfire, you'd be complaining about how they are attacking us. right?

Now eat some ice cream and enjoy your day... for tomorrow... we may have covid!

If you didn't get the vaccine... I suggest you do, but you do you. This crap is still out there and it is killing people, not as often. If you don't have any protection (vaccine) and you are one of the unlucky ones, it can kick your A$$ worse than Mike Tyson ever could and you leave it up to your immune system to deal with it. Some I know of... didn't make it.

It's your life... you make the call... that's how it should be.

[NaultD]

Masks are one of the strongest tools we have doing it's intended usage. Like every tool ever going half ass on proper usage is more dangerous then the tool saves you. With a mask it blocks spitting when moving your mouth.

Here's a fun video of amount of spit just talking.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/gZ66wJFD3bs

A little history fact. George Washington as general was dealing with a small pox epidemic. He ordered variolation on the people. That was a process of people getting cuts on their arms and then rubbing small pox scabs and puss into those cuts. That order saved the American Revolution creating our nation today.

Bitching about masks seems pretty petty if you ask me. Let alone complete void of patriotic civil duty.

[cryscrys1]

The box even says oxygen is limited when wearing it. We aren’t fish and survive with water right? We need oxygen like 100% every damn second. If it drops you will have major health issues.
So here you go
How fucked up this world is. They block your oxygen like it’s nothing. What’s else can I say what else can be worser than this


And it’s this way because of you and me you are he she it


Stop
Blaming the government: yes I agree - they throw the bone to us but damn we lick it well.. and never complain!
Trust me them who throw us the bone can’t believe their eyes too.

[888theGreat]

Dr. Fakei , said they didn't help , but they said they did anyway.

[Jenny-Marie]

Try using research or very basic science instead of hearsay and conspiracy theories.
Coronavirus particles are 120 nanometers, oxygen is 0.120 nanometers and carbon dioxide is 0.232 nanometers. Therefore, a mask can easily let in plenty of oxygen, expel the carbon dioxide and severely restrict Covid.

A tiny minority with severe breathing or psychological problems can be adversely affected.
I have some medical problems and as a result I frequently check my SPO2 (oxygen) levels. There has been no discernible difference. My levels vary between 97% and 99% as they have for at least 10 years since I started checking.

[cryscrys1]

I don’t understand you keep your mask Nancy why make me keep it too. Let me deal with my own oxygen as I wish

[Jenny-Marie]

Usual troll. Fight facts with insults

[Smashingdoozy]

Man imagine writing something on a box because that's the information you have at the time but then more new information comes out that says otherwise and you think yeah people are smart enough to follow the new information right? RIGHT?

[888theGreat]

not when the company was forced to change it and lie by a over bearing socialist Government.

[Smashingdoozy]

Company? Change it? Lie? Socialist?

What company? Change what? What lie? Where's the socialist government?

[Agagagagaga]

We all knew it was bullshit. Especially those of us who actually work in healthcare.

But I get it, you don’t want to admit that you were bamboozled.

Which booster are you on by now anyways? 😆

[Smashingdoozy]

@Agagagagaga mopping vomit off the floors of the hallways isn't working in healthcare.

[Agagagagaga]

Hahaha haha haha. Terrible joke—and way to look down on custodial staff, who are actually pretty essential in the running of a hospital.

But sure, I’ve cleaned up vomit. And blood and pus and shit and piss. I’ve taken care of amputees and people recovering from motorcycle accidents. I’ve also taken care of plenty of people dying from cervical cancer, or lung cancer. I’ve actually done quite a bit in healthcare and worked in several different fields.

Isn’t it possible, just possible, that I actually have valid reasons for my opinions, especially when I took care of people during covid.

So go and belittle me. But work on your insults. At least try and insult me and not janitors who work hard to keep hospitals clean to prevent infections from occurring.

[Smashingdoozy]

@Agagagagaga and isn't it possible that my opinions are valid?

[Agagagagaga]

Sure. You can have opinions as well. Then we have something called science. You believe the sky is falling and started living as if the bubonic plague had returned, and I go out and about, living my life like normal. You cannot tell me there is any scientific reason to wear a mask inside of your own car when you’re driving about by yourself.

“Well masks cut down on germs!”

Really? Did you have this preoccupation with germs and wear a mask before covid? I mean there are far more communicable diseases out there. And deadlier.

But I get to watch people wearing masks while walking their dog on a sunny day. Or see a shredded 20 something in the prime of his life trail running on a beautiful day in the park, wearing a mask. Hell, I even saw—this amazed me—people wearing masks at the beach.

This is all completely ridiculous. Like a dog fucking a rooster ridiculous.

So I just roll my eyes. Thankfully the masking insanity has mostly died down because why? I’m not sure exactly? People have gotten their “vaccine” that doesn’t stop transmission, and everyone got sick of the mask crap and dealing with them and just wanted things to sort of go back to normal.

But I still occasionally see people who are die hard maskers. They just don’t want the plandemic to end, to accept that the sky isn’t falling, that life will go on. Of course these are usually the same people who are non-binary pale skinned vegan vampires with green hair and nose rings with a girlfriend who is their clone. You know, the important people. 👍

[Smashingdoozy]

@agagagagaga"You cannot tell me there is any scientific reason to wear a mask inside of your own car when you’re driving about by yourself." Yeah nobody did that, if they did it was for convenience of not having to out it back on if they're getting out the car again.

The science backs masks as useful against droplet borne illnesses.

Why do you care so much when other people decide to wear masks? It doesn't affect you at all. You realize some people are immunocompromised and the virus can severely effect them right? Why wouldn't they take every precaution they can possibly do to keep themselves safe?

[HighValue]

I work in schools, and plenty of the fellow teachers with degrees are stupid and lack common sense. About half the maintenance workers and 3/4 of the bus drivers were more intelligent than many of the teachers on things that involved logic and common sense. A degree doesn't make someone intelligent, but an intelligent person can make a degree look good because when an intelligent person performs well, most people think it is because of the degree, but when lots of people with degrees perform poorly, many still think they are intelligent because of the degree.

[FunkyMonkee]

I just had an argy bargy with one the other day about this shit!! They JUST DON'T GET IT! Covid theatre is OVER!!
Stranger still, people that work in hospitals and medical buildings who SHOULD KNOW better still INSIST that masks are worn in their buildings! YOU'RE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS!!! DIDN'T YOU GET ANY OF THE MEMOS? Two weeks ago, I had to go to the ER and, everyone in the waiting room, where I spent most of my 4 hour visit, had masks on but, once I got taken back some of the staff inside weren't wearing them at all or just used them for chin straps! Most of the people I see wearing them either never cover their nose, or have them drooping below their mouth or just use them as chin straps, too! So, what's the fucking point?

[loveslongnails]

" The more educated, the less common sense a person seems to have" ... sometimes quite true. However, what's your excuse?

"The box" you're speaking of is probably the little paper things they hand out for free everywhere. Those have little effectiveness against the SARS virus. However, N95 and KN95 masks HAVE been shown to be effective in reducing the spread of respiratory droplets from your own body - dude.

Choosing to wear one is a different story, but once again like you usually do, you're spreading incomplete and misleading information because it suits your cynical narrative. If you actually care to read a study instead of listening to Newsmax or OAN, here's 49 of them:
www.kxan.com/.../

[888theGreat]

I am a genius and as well major in common sense

[loveslongnails]

Sure you are. LMAO How many studies did you read from that link?

[888theGreat]

Did Dr. Fakei write it?

[loveslongnails]

There are over 40 studies. Go see for yourself.

[888theGreat]

Studies controlled by the gov't with grants. Liberals always cheat to get their results like they do i n
elections.

[loveslongnails]

Right. They always do, and the Republicans never do anything bad, wrong or illegal. This is why you're a dummy. You didn't look at a single study, you just throw them all in a basket. You're a dummy because you don't even realize that MOST studies are PRIVATELY funded, and what you have to watch for is how much influence the grantors execute, or if they taint the study no matter what.

You don't know which ones are notoriously tainted and which ones are not, do you? Nope. Not a chance. You just "know what you think you know".

[genericname85]

the issue is that masks DO siginificantly reduce the risk of spreading certain diseases within a clinical hygiene environment. that is a fact you can't deny. but even these studies say that wearing masks outside of that may make it worse.

in day to day life, it's not feasible to have a clinical hygiene environment. the moment your mask becomes contaminated, be it that you touched it or that you put it in your pocket, it becomes a health hazard.

and everyone i ever saw used the same throw away masks for several weeks at a time, touching them with their grubby fingers and litterally breathing through a germ sponge for several months during the pandemic or even still today.

the medical facts aren't "wrong". just not seen in the right context.

[TacticalLizard]

Now, UCLA researchers and their colleagues have found that during the initial stages of biofilm formation, bacteria can actually stand upright and "walk" as part of their adaptation to a surface.


Bacteria can see, using their entire one-celled selves as a tiny camera lens to focus light, researchers reported Tuesday. The ability goes beyond just a vague sense of where the light is, and allows the one-celled organisms to find just the right spot, the team reported in the journal eLife. Feb 9, 2016


The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge


Reason you can’t convince someone that there belief is wrong because there under the influence of dunning Kruger effect as well as confirmation bias as well as narcissism

[TacticalLizard]

People are Set in there ways people don’t change
They Only get better at hiding Who they really are.

[joeldalton]

Biden keeping toddlers in head start programs in masks when 1) It's proven they delay childhood development and 2) they're ineffective at preventing the spread of covid-19 and 3) children don't get severe effects from covid-19 is nothing more than pure evil.

[xJeremyx]

Clearly the manufacturer, and you yourself, are insane. Masks are most definitely effective for controlling the spread of Sars-Cov-19, if work properly. Seriously. They act as a barrier and stop over 95% of water droplets from our respiration, lowering the chances of transmission by a large margin.

It should not be about freedom of choice! Even if you are ok with being infected without wearing a mask, it does not mean other people around you want to be infected. Wearing a mask is being considerate to the people around you, especially the immunocompromised, the elderly and children, because you can be infected and still don't know it.

Please have some common sense please.

[888theGreat]

Everyone I know that got Covid wore masks all the time , fail

[xJeremyx]

Because masks have to be worn and fitted properly. Not worn half-assedly.

And I am pretty sure I did mention masks are upwards of 90% effective. It isn't foolproof, and has to be combined with good personal hygiene and handwashing techniques, as well as social distancing. None of these measures alone would be very effective without other measures.

[888theGreat]

They covered entire face , more liberal bull shit

[xJeremyx]

Well, did they practise good hygiene? For goodness sake go and do adequate research before posting these sorts of things.

[xJeremyx]

Masks alone are not enough. But they will help.

[qwert1234]

Ah Americans. Do something that adds 1% inconvenience, and they call it suppression of freedom. If only you put the same effort on education...

Masks never claimed to prevent covid. It reduces the likelihood of you spreading it and others catching it.

Ever wonder why surgeons wear the mask during surgery?

[Luopio27]

Highly educated people smoke cigarettes even though they said on the labels that smoking kills by causing cancer.


You seem to take tou frustration out on people with certain political views. All political parties have aproved the poisoning of mental health patients in psychiatric wards with forced medication even though the labels list so much harmful side effects.

[schittywok]

I guess I'm fucking immune to COVID. When my Gov made a mandate? I had to wear a mask for one fucking day. I thought the law might clamp down, then I found out the Police go on their regular rounds for shoplifting, I walk right past them. No MASK? They don't give a flying fuck. I still, know no one, absolutely no one that DIED from COVID? I know everyone in my life got it. Did it kill them? NOPE. The CDC says they can't differentiate between the regular flu and COVID? Hmmmm.

[schittywok]

Plus I've only got the regular FLU once in my life. Guess what? It fucking sucked for 1, count it 1 fucking week.

[schittywok]

Yet, if you are so fucking scared that you must have the vaxx, and be tripled jabbed, and you think I'm evil for not having one jab? Fuck off.

[schittywok]

And yes, I was tested twice. For no more reason than I had to because I was visiting the Mecca of Health. The Almighty Rochester Mayo Clinic.

[schittywok]

And yup. I was in a regular area in the St. Mary's Hospital. Some d bag said to me across the way, get your mask up above your nose! It's just a thing you must kowtow to. When I visited a Doctor who makes so much money he can live in a million dollar home, I simply said, can I breathe? You know what he said? He said I'm sorry for being so militant, but you must wear your mask.

[schittywok]

So Militant? These are no lies.

[Lyndsielee666]

I wear one because my dads going through aggressive ass chemo and I have enough respect not to give him a virus that’ll kill him earlier than cancer is gonna take him.

[888theGreat]

but you wore a mask , so how could you catch it?

[Lyndsielee666]

I have children that go to their dumb ass anti vaccine dads house so there’s that.

[Shamalien]

If you didn’t wanna give em a virus you should be healthy, exercise and eat right, and don’t take dangerous experimental medication which turns you into a disease spreader (the covid shot weakens immune system)

And masks don’t prevent spread

[Levin]

Sorry to play the devil's advocate but your dad might want unbridled emotional contact with his family rather than fear that each of them are disease spreaders?

That's what I'd want, anyway.

[Lyndsielee666]

@Levin shut the fuck up

[snowboarder720]

I’ll keep wearing my mask because it seems to trigger people like you 😊😆😆🤣

[888theGreat]

Well clowns wear paint , so you can continue to wear a mask. I don't wear one and I never got it.

[joeldalton]

you look like a retard because you think it triggers other people? bahahahaha

[888theGreat]

@joeldalton we will keep voting for Trump to trigger him

[Agagagagaga]

It doesn’t trigger us man, we just roll our eyes and think what stupid dumbasses you are wearing a mask indoors when no one else is. Or my favorite. Wearing a mask outside. On a running trail. In a park. With deer.

The germs are gonna get ya! The germs ARE GONNA GET YA!

😂

You silly, silly dumb fucks.

[xJeremyx]

this guy @snowboarder720 woke up, saw this, and chose chaos😂🤣

And i 100% agree!!

[snowboarder720]

Smells like triggered Trumptard tears. I love it 😊

[snowboarder720]

😷 😷

[xJeremyx]

Just keep wearin em, stay safw

[joeldalton]

@xJeremyx you're inhaling micro plastics to trigger the trumpers! Talk about 4-d chess

[Fuentes]

@joeldalton 🤣 😂 bro imagine thinking your tricking everyone with a mask LOL!!!

[joeldalton]

@Fuentes right?

[menina]

There's no need to argue about this. If you don't want to wear a mask, then don't it. It's your choice. Just respect those who still wear it.

[888theGreat]

They are making kids wear them again. They can't concentrate and fail classes. Stats prove that scores were lower during mask wearing mandates

[menina]

I don't know about that, I didn't hear about it. But I can imagine why they couldn't concentrate.

[888theGreat]

Mask and the girl sitting next to him with big ta ta's

[menina]

No comment...

[888theGreat]

No comment is a comment.

[menina]

Ok, I just mean that I'm not going to comment on this.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

Maybe you should go through surgery without the doctor, nurses & equipment being cleaned/prepped for surgery & they shouldn't wear masks or gloves as well.

[Shamalien]

Sanitizing equipment is 10000000x more important than masks, their efficacy is often debated since cost benefit is questionable

[888theGreat]

As many people die from hospital infections as Covid. I know more that dies that way than Covid

[Texaskid1]

Because if you wear a mask the secret lizard people who live at the center of our flat Earth will come get you and feed you to the Satan worshiping pedophiles.

Marjorie Taylor Green tole me so.

[888theGreat]

what is tole?

[Texaskid1]

*told

[Sour-rose]

Well they see it as a muzzle... I see it as a mask because people smell like they haven't bathed in 3 months or they had their daily breakfast meal of weed. :)

[Twalli]

It won't stop you getting it. It will stop you spreading it and it's effective in stopping the spread of it if it's not airborne

[888theGreat]

if it keeps from spreading , how did they get it in the first place. See how your logic is no logic at all?

[888theGreat]

Everyone was wearing masks and it still spread. If that was the case it would have died out after one month. No need for experimental shots.

[Twalli]

Because not everyone wore masks. Also you actually have to wear the correct type correctly. That means the mask covers your nose and mouth all the time. It has to st least be a N95.

[888theGreat]

So Gov't should have provided "right " masks if they said you had to wear a mask?

[Twalli]

There weren't enough of N95 masks. Few people were wearing them correctly. Last time I was in the hospital a woman had the mask down on her chin. During the height, before the vaccine, people had masks that didn't cover their noses. Young kids didn't know how to wear masks correctly. Trump supporters made masks a political statement.

[888theGreat]

same with condoms i guess

[Twalli]

They can't provide what isn't there. N95 masks aren't comfortable. The production amount was good if only doctors and nurses needed to wear them, which they did. Then the pandemic hit and demand was greater than supply. Can the government supply us all with jet packs. They exist. No they can't, there aren't enough.

[Twalli]

Never had trouble buying condoms. Granted, I haven't since August 2019, but that's not because I couldn't afford them.

[888theGreat]

This is what Democrats do, make laws and rules that are impossible for people to do or work. Like EV cars. No one will be able to buy them and fewer people will have jobs , less people can shop , no concerts or plays. But they will just make a law and say whoops.

[exitseven]

I watched a woman driving a golfcart by herself wearing a mask yesterday. I just shook my head.

[888theGreat]

They wear them at home , alone, in a closet

[exitseven]

Two weeks after I got the second vaccine shot I stopped wearing masks. On the odd time I have ot wear them I get really annoyed.

[888theGreat]

They give you blind spots wearing them driving

[exitseven]

your glasses get all fogged up too

[worldscolide]

All of the above.. Didn't they recently prove that covid was air born?

Nah its all about control. If people wanna wear them it's fine but don't force it on us.

[Literalbillionaire17]

People should still be able to wear them if they want

[888theGreat]

It is still an issue . Like people should be able to carry a firearm with no license , I agree with you

[Literalbillionaire17]

I don’t think people should be able to carry a firearm with no license though sorry

[Agagagagaga]

So you don’t think a woman should be able to shoot and kill her rapist.

🙄

[888theGreat]

@Agagagagaga Never said that , was he wearing a mask?

[Agagagagaga]

That was for @Literalbillionaire17 Not you dipshit.

[888theGreat]

The Constitution says you can.. The constitution doesn't say Gov't can make you wear a mask.

[888theGreat]

My question not want to be a billionaire's

[Cregish]

@Agagagagaga yikes that went from 0-60 for literally no reason.

[Cregish]

So then you're cool with kids dying because you're cool with unlicensed mentally ill folks like yourself running around with guns.

[888theGreat]

@Cregish I am for the Constitution

[Literalbillionaire17]

People should be screened and have a license before they can purchase a gun 🤷🏽‍♀️ there’s safety measures in that

[Dazed0N0Confused]

@888theGreat The constitution mentions a WELL REGULATED militia, not an individual. Try again.

[888theGreat]

@Dazed0N0Confused The individuals are the militia

[888theGreat]

you try again babes
