So clinical hcq studies showing success with the virus are “only anecdotal”, but all these “studies” showing the “coronavirus CANT spread with the use of masks” are scientific fact? I’m just trying to make sure I have it straight.

Studies only have validity if they agree with progressive agendas.

Arian Foster said it best in his PMT interview, “social sciences” are favored by the Left because it looks at more than data and takes into account feelings and emotions. Basically it’s not real science.

Regardless of political intent of every medical mandate, chart, suggestion, etc., most every "expert" is simply conjecturing based on some facts. It's simply a case that we really don't know.
Compare to a bunch of Saturday morning Game Day prognosticators offering up their thoughts on how the day's games are going to play out.

If masks can reduce spread by even 25% then its worth it

That being said supposedly 90% of covid transmissions are in the home and people arent wearing masks in their houses

I agree with you - recall that Dr. Fauci was originally of the OPINION that masks were unnecessary, but now he has seen the light and is now of the opinion that they are necessary. He's been re-educated, and I'm afraid that you and I are going to be subjected to re-education soon.

Nope, I’m not suggesting any studies are either fact or bullshite. I’m pointing out the hypocrisy and politicizing of the hole study bullshite. People cite studies only as fact when it fits their agenda. We couldn’t use hcq bc we needed 10 years of peer reviews double blind placebo led studies, but we are blindly told to wear masks bc someone said something and we are supposed to take it as scientific fact, when in fact we don’t have “x number of years of double blind studies” to show THIS virus is blocked by any face covering.

Let’s start with studies showing HCQ efficacy. We can go on with the rest after getting this out of the way.

Please tell us what studies you’ve read.

you are too dumb to understand this. It's above you.

The studies supporting HCQ were small sample size studies. That's why scientists were saying "we don't know yet," while trump was saying it was the cure. Since that time, several large studies have concluded that HCQ doesn't work. We were giving HCQ presumptively before the larger studies came out, but have since stopped across the world because we know it doesn't work.


The study supporting face mask wearing is a meta-analysis. That is the strongest form of study out there. They combined the results of 172 different studies and reviewed them all and concluded it to be effective.

Mask suggestions are likely also based on other respiratory diseases with similar vehicles of germ transfer and studies done with those as well.

Oh the same WHO who came out and said that you only need to wear a face covering if you have the virus, or if you’re caring for someone that has the virus?

Got it. But I’m sure you’re the smartest person on this board so we should all shut up and listen to you.

Come on man. Trump never said it was the cure. The rest of your post is fine but this statement reeks of bullcrap.

Internet comment sections are currently being overrun by people who pulled a C- in their high school science classes. people seem to think that it's impossible for best practices to change based on new scientific data. Now if something changes then it must have been a hoax all along.

I thought those studies were proven corrupted and they started using it again.

I haven't been following all that much since that main study saying it was not working was exposed.

CANT spread??? Where are you getting your info?? Social media is killing us. Literally and figuratively!! The site is filled with people who are (in large part) responsible for States being forced to close down again. It is only partial closures FOR NOW. We are this far into it and people are still clueless. Go ask Florida and Texas how their plan worked out. People are back to being jobless now. There goes your beach or Disney vacation. I wonder how much acting like there is ”nothing to worry about” is going to cost them this summer??

I can recall that except that is not what happened. He said he was the expert, is the man, and presented it as fact that everybody else is to live by. Nowhere in there did he say it was his opinion.
