In a recent email updating students on COVID-19 guidelines, UVU made an embarrassing contradiction.
COVID-19 has impacted every part of our lives—from major events like thousands of Americans losing their jobs, to small annoyances like concerts getting canceled—and colleges are not exempt. And for those institutions of higher learning that are open, stipulations are almost always required for in-person classes. For instance, the university I attend, Utah Valley University, requires universal masking, contract tracing forms as part of attendance, and social distancing...“Exposure to someone with COVID-19 means close contact, within six feet, for longer than 15 minutes, with or without a mask.” (Emphasis added).

Wear a Trump mask and then ask them how it doesn't meet the Technical Specifications of the "required masks"?
Someone should take the standard warning on the boxes of mask that says they are not designed to protect people from infection and put this in the masks themselves as the design image of the masks.
Or make a stamp, like the kind kids use to stamp designs on paper art projects, that says this so that people can stamp their disposable masks with it.
It’s not about the result. It’s about the control.
Actually, what the boxes say is that they haven’t been experimentallying tested for effectiveness. They say it as a way of getting out of getting sued by someone who wears the mask but gets sick anyways.
Any STEM student passing their frosh year knows those masks that we wear due to COVID are props and nothing more.
Q:How can you tell that a person failed their third grade science lesson and avoided that awful subject ever since?
A: They are a Democrat politician.
Not really. The college didn't say masks don't work and there wasn't a contradiction, so he's wrong about his central claim. Hopefully the college has some critical thinking classes because he can use them.
Yep - just did a tweet:
“Not to mention disclaimer statements on mask packaging...and the fact that they encourage using bandanas and other really porous materials - because protection isn’t the goal...control is the goal and the mass experiments in subduing a FRee People continue”
then noticed Y’all beat me to the conclusions...
On the back of the boxes we buy: Not for use in healthcare settings.
Nuff said.
The college conveyed the above definition from CDC, which does indeed state that masks make no difference in the definition of exposure. That means masks don't make a difference.
“Exposure to someone with COVID-19 means close contact, within six feet, for longer than 15 minutes, with or without a mask.” (Emphasis added).”
It should be clarified by adding that the exposure must be to someone with symptoms. Without symptoms the asymptomatic person has too low of a viral load and does not have the behaviors that eject sufficient amount of the virus, like coughing or sneezing, that mere breathing alone does not do.
No that's not what it means. It only means that when defining what they mean by exposure whether someone was wearing a mask makes no difference. That's not the same thing as wearing a mask makes no difference to transmission.
They are free to define exposure according to their rules however they want, and it's not unreasonable to define it very broadly. It isn't making a statement about the effectiveness of masks.
I've had to stop wearing my glasses. The mask fogs them up, negating their value.
So now I'm at a risk of actual physical injury occurring due to impaired vision because I'm forced to wear a mask to "protect" me from a virus that poses almost no risk to my health whatsoever.
It's all kabuki theater.
I have family who have face masks that read “This is tyranny” in big letters.
