Masks Failed to Protect in 6000 Person Real World Study.... New

I disagree. I think people need to think of it both ways. 'Muricans, who can be quite selfish on some issues, need to do it because they think it protects themselves, rather than the feel-good attitude Fauci et. al. keep saying about it protecting others.

Look at it this way...

If you were tested many times negative for the COVID in a row at home, and you KNEW you did not have the virus, but were forced to go into a room with 10 people who were absolutely positive and they were all wearing masks...

Would you wear a mask to help increase your chances of not getting it from all the infected people in that room? Any logically-sound human would say, "Yeah, I'll wear the mask. I don't want to get the COVID."

THAT'S how we as a people need to look at this. It should have been that way in February, but no...'Muricans were invincible, and stupid.

If you know of such a room, can you send me a PM with the location? I'd like to enter, get the virus and get this stupidity over with.
 
Bookmarked.

Anyone who wants to deliberately get COVID is very foolish.

And what is bookmarked going to prove? Its not a prediction.

As for foolish, I'd expect no other opinion from the guy who said not wearing a mask was the same as putting a gun to the head and pulling the trigger.

Why don't you go ask some first line healthcare workers what they think of people who refuse to wear a mask.
 
I have...

And many of them say you are a moron...
The ones in high level care... have to wear n 95s.

I know doctors who have to wear specific brands of non china made masks...
and change them after every patient because the data shows dirty clothes masks are dangerous... and even then they are not sure clothes masks are protecting anybody...

My doctor told me, mask-less, what she thought of the risk to healthy adults who have excellent Vit D levels. Her answer would (apparently) surprise you.

So you go to a doctor which does not follow proper public health guidance... figures.
 
There ARE enormous differences in masks but epidemiology is about populations not individuals. That masks have not been given their full due as an urgent engineering not a medical matter is failure of government policy in most countries.

From the perspective of epidemiology, a surgical mask (there are several grades, medical to actual surgical) will be effective in slowing the spread and allowing for variolation.

In simple terms, variolation means that typically a smaller initial dose or several small doses of a pathogen allow someone to be infected without developing as severe side effects. It's what they relied on before vaccines were developed. It wasn't great, just a lot better than nothing.

So lower quality masks "work" they reduce the severity of illness across the general population, individual results will vary. You won't see the reduction in total infections you might hope for but you will see a lot less significantly symptomatic.

This is what the low Q but high Qanon cons can't grasp on those things that pass for their minds.

Still, it would be infinitely better if Biden starts a rapid average mask quality improvement program while laying out minimal standards. Get the fecking Myth busters on it, any level of increased edge will save lives.

I have mentioned variolation a dozen times, it never gets picked up for praise or argument.

This blindspot is kind of weird. The cons being pure ignorance and unable to know anything not fed to them by the propoganda can't even attack the idea as its not discussed by their programmers at all.

Eight months ago.
