However, if you ask any Democrat, masks impart immortality...


That’s only when large gatherings of demoncraps get together to do their anti-American behavior you know like rioting.

Can you imagine the response if the State had demanded that all beards be shaved, to secure mask sealing, as a COVID-19 precaution?

Around here, they look like pubic hair overflowing from undersized panties...

If a bit of water exhaled is carrying virus and that water hits your mask, the water will evaporate and you will breathe in the virus. For a size comparison, imagine a bee flying through your open garage door. Thats about the space between woven mask cloth and a virus.

It’s a crap study. Inconclusive at best, both sides could claim it supports their claims.

Covid is a totalitarian’s excuse.

And any fool who doesn't think they're going to come up with a new "deadly" disease every year in perpetuity, is delusional.

There are at least two sets of intangible benefits from wearing masks beyond a reduction in infections. These are:
- those wearing masks can claim they are virtuous, ie., “I wear a mask because I care”.
- politicians who impose mandates can give the appearance of doing something. Even if it is ineffective, many believe it is.

Other benefits you forgot, much easier to rob a store and protect your identity, easier to destroy property in a riot and remain anonymous.

Combing your beard over your face does not constitute a ‘mask?’

No real surprise, with so many people in the medical profession and the food service profession getting COVID-19 infections, all of whom wear masks on the job, you would be questioning how much of an effect the mask would have.

Yup. A lib acquaintance works in a hospital and wears his ppe-—— positive. His explanation, obviously someone NOT wearing their mask or not following cdc guidelines. Uh okay. And our gov is now + and we KNOW he follows the rules.

The mask is a Chinese Communist obedience instrument. Nothing more, nothing less
