    It's something he heard said ominously on a podcast, and therefore must regurgitate as a deflection technique whenever anyone points out the numerous ways he's full of shit.

    Somewhat related note: is anyone else still masking at this point? I wear N95 grade cloth/composite masks as I have to wear them for 10-12 hours a day when I'm running the shop.
    On an average day where I interact with about 1,000 people, maybe 1 will be wearing a mask.

    I know that it’s a dangerous practice of mutating viruses, so dangerous that Obama put a stop to it on the federal level and private companies took it up under a different name and Fauci knew about it in 2019.

    The Feds lifted that restriction in 2017.

    And you know what else is dangerous? Putting gasoline in your car. Yet billions of people do it every day without ever thinking about it.

    Masks don't work. Except that this year was the first time I caught COVID after over three years of masking up indoors in public. Halfway through the year I returned to work from parental leave, and masks were no longer required. Guess what I caught soon thereafter? COVID.

    I also managed to get RSV with COVID and wound up in the hospital, along with my baby.

    Fuck off, FF. Your ignorance knows no limits.

    It is almost like this person who supposedly went to college has never taken a college level science course where ethics of research was explained. I would figure something like that would be presented to a history major.

    It is like he selectively learns things. I cannot imagine passing collegel without having some questions about how ethics in research works.

    He was a trust fund college student, which meant he basically just had to enroll in classes without needing to show up to ensure he got a degree.

    He probably got all A's at Trump U. That would explain his degree, his ignorance, and his ethical malfunctions. OK, maybe he graduated from walmart trump U which we call Praeger U.

    You have to shove them up his ass because his mouth and nose are on his head and that is where his head is. That is just how it works.

    The fact that you have even a peripheral knowledge of what you are trying to discuss would suggest Fauci has a fuck ton more knowledge about it than you do, means every time you introduce an argument, you are doing a ton more to convince others he’s a hell of a lot smarter than we originally thought and more likely to follow his advice. Thank you for this endorsement of his abilities.

    thanks karen mom for the reverse psychology lesson on the boy. I am sure that will work. Now why don't you give him all the alcohol and guns he wants because that will make him sick of them.

    fuck's sake... every one of those is to filter air coming IN except for the surgical mask which is to filter what's coming OUT.

    but you knew that already, didn't you?

    Are you really this incapable of honesty or are you just that stupid to not comprehend such a basic concept?

    I wear them to medical clinics, hospitals, etc. out of respect for the healthcare workers. But other than that, masks are pretty rare these days. I'll see the odd person at the grocery store wearing one.

    I do wish masks had become a "thing" here, like in some Asian countries. People who are sick should stay the fuck home or wear a mask if staying home isn't an option.

    The mask is not for the healthy person so much as it should be for the sick person. However, it would be good for people who feel healthy during a pandemic to wear one as you might be contagious while you feel ok.

    Masks aren't very useful for people with beards, either. But wearing it anyway was accepted as compliance. Shows you where people's heads are at. Obedience with a facade of utility.

    for the cheap seats. Your body expells a large amount of viral particles encased in microscopic glycoproteins and water from the lungs through the mouth when your breathe or cough. A mask will catch these particles within the fibers due to the way water sticks to substances and the proteins will keep the particles stuck to the fibers. This prevents the particles from becoming airborn and resting on surfaces. The mask would also direct these particles back towards your clothing and skin rather than out into the atmosphere. The proteins and viral molecules are suspended within the air, but much larger than oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide molecules. It is like dragging a net through water full of debris.

    The mask is not a filter for things coming in, rather it stops things going out.

    This has been explained over and over. The reality is that you fuckers are so selfish that if they told you that the mask was to protect others from the crap you are spewing, you would not wear them. So they lied and tried to say it was saving you because you are narcissistic and sadistic. You enjoy the idea of your crap getting into people as a sort of rape fantasy where you penetrate others. They knew that if they told you a mask would stop your germs from reaching others you would hate them even more because you are vile evil assholes.

    That is why we need to force you to wear masks at certain times. we really should weld them to your fucking face because you will do everything to make them less effective knowing how they work. You are like a fucking guy who would poke holes in his own condom. You are fucking sick.

    It was that, or we let all the bearded people die. Which was our preference, since beards are disgusting. But you can't say that these days because... oh shit, it's catching!

    Oh, yes. If I have to go to a medical facility I wear a mask for the same reason you do.

    Deliberately missing the point. The air flow goes right around the mask. It did not protect me, nor did it protect anyone FROM me. It accomplished NOTHING. It is 100% a superficial display of compliance to appease wannabe petty dictators to were enjoying their first taste of power over others.

    Covid was created and released by the Jesuits in order to test the viability of engineered viruses as weapons. The US failed big time. Once the real virus is ready, they'll release it, kill most of us, and take our land. All you freedom lovers who couldn't be bothered to stay home and wear a mask signed our death warrants. Wait and see what happens when you're all "you're not the boss of me" when the Jesuits are forcing you on to reservations and making you learn to speak Latin.
