    How can you think science is on your side regarding mask wearing when studies like this with a 3000 person control group found that masks did not protect the wearers.

    And a CDC study had similar findings.
    Masks do not protect the wearer per the best data we have.

    2. Masks are intrusive. You have no idea what these shit masks from China are doing to your lungs long term. Especially while exercising.



    https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817



    Results:

    A total of 3030 participants were randomly assigned to the recommendation to wear masks, and 2994 were assigned to control; 4862 completed the study. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 occurred in 42 participants recommended masks (1.8%) and 53 control participants (2.1%). The between-group difference was −0.3 percentage point (95% CI, −1.2 to 0.4 percentage point; P = 0.38) (odds ratio, 0.82 [CI, 0.54 to 1.23]; P = 0.33). Multiple imputation accounting for loss to follow-up yielded similar results. Although the difference observed was not statistically significant, the 95% CIs are compatible with a 46% reduction to a 23% increase in infection.


    Limitation:
    Inconclusive results, missing data, variable adherence, patient-reported findings on home tests, no blinding, and no assessment of whether masks could decrease disease transmission from mask wearers to others.


    Conclusion:
    The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates, some degree of social distancing, and uncommon general mask use. The data were compatible with lesser degrees of self-protection.
    ------
    2. Whether masks protect others in the real world.
    That is a questionable proposition... in light of the fact that dirty masks are dangerous... and masks allow stupid people to think they are safe... when they should be keeping their distance.

    Jem trolling. Test masks if you are a little mother fucking fairy afraid of the wrong type of dust, don't just say they can't be used. If you can find something cheaper than polypropoline to fake polypropylene, let us know.

    Jem is a troll, the best thing that happened to him was him old mom died in the care home this summer and he inherited her money. He did say he felt unhappy because his wife's mom also died and she seemed sad. Obviously this is how any normal person is.

    Remember, his teen not being able to play golf a few months had his whole life destroyed. Old people should be put in old people prison and left to die etc. Under the Jem plan of he has no plan.

    No, that is actually correct. Pigeons are gubment surveillance drones. Something totally not right about pigeons. Like...Why do they only exist in large cities? I have never ever seen one in the suburbs in the NorthEast. All we have are their cousins, the mourning doves.

    Pigeons are either spies, or ravens in disguise for satan.

    Morons see data and facts contrary to their fear and their dissonance becomes so strong it causes them to do and write stupid things. GwBe lying is so fearful he is a case study for fear induced IQ reduction and integrity destruction.
