So does that mean that whenever you post a source on this forum, you immediately support all of the stuff they have ever written or published? Because if that's the case, please confirm so I can begin to research all the folks you have posted and the shit they've said in the past about ANYTHING no matter how crazy. Right, that's what I thought. Someone brings up an idea, and you think the idea has merit, so you support that idea. Of course that doesn't mean you support everything that person has ever pushed because you support the one statement or idea. It just means you support what you said you supported. Everyone with an IQ over 100 gets this.
that would be good news... however... i did however see this in the past... https://www.forbes.com/sites/victor...y-more-deadly-says-new-study/?sh=512b39d56a1e
As easily seen in the news Chile is dealing with many cases of the Brazil variant. Fortunately -- as noted by their government -- the wearing of masks has greatly reduced the death toll, cases, and hospitalizations from the variant surge. Why don't you just compare Chile to what is happening in Brazil.
You might be right. I'm not saying Chile isn't experiencing any type of variant, or that they don't have a real pandemic issue on their hands at all. I'm not saying they are better or worse than Brazil. I'm saying one thing, and one thing only: Mask mandates don't work to stem the tide. Its not even that masks themselves don't work - they do provide additional protection. Mandates don't.
Mask mandates reduce the number of COVID cases by 75% (as shown in Arizona and other places) when widely followed. The number of deaths and hospitalizations are also greatly reduced. Mask mandates greatly reduce the number of projected cases even when the case trend is rising -- this turns a potentially disastrous situation into one that is manageable. Can you imagine the fiasco in Chile if they did not have a mask mandate -- go look at Brazil to see what it would be like.
mask mandates or the weather, the season, or the natural infection curve of viruses as more and more people get immunity to that variant Correlation is not causation... you know that lying moron. .
