Why did the lepers have to stop their hockey game?
Because there was a face-off in the corner.
Same people that think watching a video on youtube is “Research”
Of course doctors and nurses are passing out in the middle of operating from wearing masks all the time, right?
These anti-vaxxers are nutty enough when they stick in their own lane, now this stupid Beyotich is trying to get even more people killed.
He looks and acts dizzy.
My god! Jeff Sessions ears have been transplanted onto Bidens head!
I’m sitting outside the store in our community while my wife is doing some shopping. I’m observing people going in and out of the store. It is 103 degrees outside and sunny. Yet, there are maybe 20% of the customers wearing masks outside. God only knows if they were wearing the masks in their car. This behavior seems rather odd. But then maybe that’s just me.
How much of a fat bastard do you have to be to pass out from a mask? If that is an issue...the person really needs to get out and walk somewhere. Preferably without a cigarette.
Oh I know...everyone is an exception these days. Friggin babies.
You’re not the intended audience of that article. It’s for paranoid, conspiracy-minded nutjobs. They eat that sort of stuff up.
You forgot to attack the Emergency Room Doctor, Rashid Buttar, PhD.
Like th e meme said.. if underwear and jeans can’t keep a fart in how is a cloth mask going to keep a virus out.
They don’t work period and were never designed to keep anything out, they (N95) were originally designed to help keep surgeons from contaminating patients during surgery.
Since 1998, when 29 CFR 1910.134 was promulgated. Subsection (e) recognizes, “Using a respirator may place a physiological burden on employees that varies with the type of respirator worn, the job and workplace conditions in which the respirator is used, and the medical status of the employee.” Subsection (e)(1) provides, “The employer shall provide a medical evaluation to determine the employee’s ability to use a respirator, before the employee is fit tested or required to use the respirator in the workplace.” The regulation goes on to specify the requirements of that evaluation.
If you are wondering whether a cloth mask, N95 mask, or dist mask is a “respirator,” the definition of “Filtering Facepiece (dist mask)” makes it clear that it is, as does the exception from the requirement for a written respiratory protection plan for “employees whose only use of respirators involves the voluntary use of filtering facepieces (dust masks).”
I’m not surprised that you were never required to undergo a medical evaluation. Routine disregard of OSHA seems to be the rule rather than the exception in many industries.
And does that also apply to the South Koreans, Japanese, Taiwanese, and pretty much every Asian country?? No. They wear masks because masks work, and apparently they are bright enough to realize that. Also apparently, a lot of Americans are not.
Yes, they do:

After my time. I left the chem. production industry in 1993.
People don't like wearing your stupid masks because the Chinese told them so?
How does that even make ANY sense?
Why does your post make me think of a jock strap?
Masks have to make breathing more difficult — or they wouldn’t filter-out anything. Sure, people can adjust to them for limited times, and they’ll do it to keep their jobs. But the people pushing them for everybody for extended periods of time have no idea how adjustment to them affects health over time and throughout the population. Does the heart rate increase to compensate for the increased CO2 and the extra breathing effort? Does this wear out the heart over time? And what about the lungs, where there is reduced airflow and fewer deep breaths?
