I am not interested in what this person has to say.
Please replace this man, President Trump.
I'm also sick of the general public wearing masks because this country is starting to look like a 3rd world #-hole.
Silliness. It is simple because there are not enough. Are we to believe that medical personnel have a dire need for them, bit for everybody else they are worthless?
They are pissing on our backs and telling us it’s raining.
These reasons are not persuasive.
One of the reasons is if you wear a mask you start touching your face more.
I have very little regard for the CDC and even less for WHO.
You guys can wear masks for the rest of your lives then.
Medical personnel do invasive procedures on infected patients that require them to get up-close and personal.
You are wandering around out in public presumably with a six foot bubble between you and anybody else.
Apples and oranges.
He makes a good point. Most of it has to do with a person’s confidence wearing a mask causes them to ignore most other safety precautions.
The epidemiology of the hot spots is poorly understood.
He always looks sounds dumb. Should keep him off the air.
I’ll wear my mask, thank you. People stay away from me.

Masks only help individuals if they are medical individuals. Got it.
“On an individual level, there was a study in 2015 looking at medical students and medical students wearing surgical masks touch their face on average 23 times,” Adams explained. “We know a major way that you can get respiratory diseases like coronavirus is by touching a surface and then touching your face so wearing a mask improperly can actually increase your risk of getting disease.”
Adams went on to say that wearing a face mask “can also give you a false sense of security.” He added that “you see many of these pictures with people out and about closer than six feet to each other, but still wearing a mask.”
He noted that there are also consequences to wearing masks.
Typical doctor stuff. They’re all really educated and we’re all too stupid to do it right.
Yup, I say wear a mask if u gottem, but act as though you are not wearing it.
Same reasoning behind treat every gun as though it is loaded ALL THE DAMNED TIME!
