Masks are assumed to prevent transmission, which is cases.

If masks were to be effective, when should we expect to see a decrease in CASES relative to the enactment of the mandate?


Honestly lol’d at this. Jesus.

What's so funny about it? Refute it. Challenge my thinking if it's incorrect.


Are you saying that there is abundant evidence showing that masks (cloth masks particularly) REDUCE infections? As much as it's talked about and having been made into a crime around the world, one would think the evidence is iron clad without contradiction.

I'm not talking about retarding the PRESUMED MECHANISM of transmission, actual reduction in infections.

a few actual cases happen, and then all of a sudden every single person knows someone who it happened to and its this grand conspiracy


The issue is there is no transparency & too many different stories (positives that didn’t test, antibodies as positives, contact tracing assuming positives)

You cannot deny there is an agenda after JBE’s press conference Tuesday
He starts off by saying 15 hospitals have no ICU beds & provides no context nor does he provide any assurance that on a regional level there are plenty of beds available

He then goes into MIS-C which has been known for sometime but the 1st week of school is the 1st time a press conference has focused on it

Nothing has been done by the state to offer help to small businesses other than to be told we may be on the hook for a 30% payroll tax

I've never denied that this entire thing has become politicized.

Everyone had an agenda and they are going to twist and manipulate data to fit that agenda.

Crazy how this deadly condition disappeared from the news cycle for 2-3 months and suddenly reappeared.

I had an argument with someone on the mask subject once, where they were adamantly ordering/pleading that everyone where a mask and follow the mandates.

I brought up the lack of evidence that cloth masks reduce infections, their defense was "I'm not here to argue the efficacy of masks."

If you can't discuss the evidence in regards to the efficacy of masks, how can you argue that they should be mandated?

Sooooo...seems like the mask mandate is working right? 

Yes. It's all because of the masks. Since we now know they work, we can go back to being fully open with no risk of closing back down b we can always just wear masks if the numbers get too high.

Biden and Cam-ala just said we need a 3 month national mask mandate.

We've been played.

FYI

It takes 70% of population to get infected to reach Herd immunity

Long long way to go

This is an ASSUMPTION based on no resistance whatsoever that is used in those shitty models.

This is never reality.
