A few people who are especially vulnerable to infection and its consequences still wear masks.
The rest of us need not!
Amen !!! Best post on the thread!!!
Not really. Anybody still wearing a mask are virtue-signaling buffoons.
I have pollen allergies. May be I should start wearing it during months when pollen count is high.
I think there’s concern the CDC is planning our next Plandemic and peeps want to caution AMericans not to surrender their rights at light speed this time around. :D
Before covid, few did except for surgeons during procedures or dentists during procedures. Docs making rounds hardly ever wore masks in the before times.
Even back then there was no evidence masks help prevent the spread of flu or other respiratory diseases.
On one hand, I can see how it is easy to believe masks work -- it is very intuitive. But the history of medicine is littered with intuitive interventions that were later proven to be at best useless or at worst harmful.
I see video clips from NYC and California with people still wearing those gross things.
I haven’t seen anyone wearing a mask in my area for while now.
Hospital personnel wore them when tending to patients with communicable diseases and those with compromised immune systems before Covid. During severe ‘flu outbreaks, even personnel in doctors’ offices wore them and encouraged patients to wear them, too, especially elderly patients.
Asians wore them routinely out in public during flu outbreaks years before Covid. How well they work is still being studied.
All I know, is, if I’m caring for a cancer patient and his doctor tells me to wear one, I do. If I went against doctor’s advice and gave that patient a disease his compromised immune system couldn’t handle, I’d die of guilt. If I wear the mask, wash my hands all the time, etc., at least I know I’m doing all I can. He might still catch something despite my best efforts, but at least I made my best effort. It’s just how I am. You might be different.

Similar except for the blue mask. I usually left my sword at home.
Don’t forget, crooks wear mask too, but for a different reason.
Of those I see wearing the mask of submission,at least 8 out of 10 are black.
I am different. I don't trust MDs at all.
Show me the evidence is my mantra.
MDs put themselves forward as professionals with ethics, but as revealed during Covid the medical industry is rife with corruption and cowards.
Even before Covid there are many examples of MDs giving harmful or useless advice.
See, also, in response to catching heat from the DEA for the opioid crisis, the AMA agreed to sell out patients via an agreement with the DEA to establish controlled substance registries that enable any official in state government to access patients' medical history without a warrant. Thus, if a patient gets a prescription for any drug on the controlled list, into the registry they go. (Note, the DEA wanted a federal registry, the AMA pushed back on that in lieu of state-run registries.)
Also, the whole scam where MDs are protected from liability for malpractice if they follow the so-called "standard-of-care" even if the "standard-of-care" is out-of-date, harmful, or useless.
No other profession or industry has that level of protection from liability. In normal industry, following an industry standard does not provide immunity from negligence if you knew or should have known that the standard was not safe. Also, they are discouraged and often prohibited (by their health systems or insurance providers) from trying treatments that are outside of the standard-of-care because if they do so they are exposed to liability if there is a bad outcome.
Thus, MDs are almost completely captured by regulators and insurance providers. Recall that the US medical industry promotes the mutilation or sterilization of children as the standard-of-care for so-called gender affirming care.
MDs can provide a necessary function/service but by no means assume they know what they are talking about. Your life depends on it.
Only idiots are still wearing face masks
I disagree. That is an extreme unprovable statement.
I see people wearing face masks and assume they are at risk sick people who really have no business being in public if their health is so fragile that they dare not risk catching anything from anyone.
Perhaps they have been vaxxed and boosted so often that they have now put themselves at a high risk of deadly complications from the vaccines. And masking up is a safe bet.
I see them daily around here. Doesn’t affect me, I don’t care what strangers are wearing. Live and let live.
I see you’ve met my friends.
...same with nasty tattoo’s on women.
So during surgery the doctor doesn’t sneeze or accidentally transfer bodily fluids into the open wound..
THAT is why they wear those masks.
Most of us have known that for decades..
