The scientific evidence is that masks work. Of course they don't work if they are pulled down below the nose, as I have seen many times. Refusing to wear a mask is not a sign of resistance, it is an undermining of public health. If you want to extend the pandemic and the annoying public health measures used to control it, just keep on not wearing your mask.
Out of curiosity, do you also refuse to wear your seatbelt? Do you disregard traffic safety laws? How do you feel about building codes and the environmental regulations that prevent manufacturers from spewing pollutants (NOT including CO2) into our air and water? Are those also all unsupportable impositions on your liberty?
Your argument relies on stipulating that cotton, nylon, paper, etc masks, are effective in preventing the spread.
So you’re talking to yourself. You may wish to consider the other point of view in trying to sway others.
I don’t know what science comic book you’re reading. There are several studies, both pre and pat COVID that clearly show no benefit to face diapers.
If they did work, nearly a year of forced compliance would surely have lessened the impact of COVID. Instead, after a year of forced compliance cases remain high.
Masks actually contribute to the spread.
No, the scientific evidence shows NO SUCH THING, in multiple peer reviewed journal articles. YOU look them up- ive no time for this bullcrap linear non-comparisons of non-relational “rules” (seatbelts and building codes-vs. known contagion data and prevention- holy shite).
And, if it will make you feel better- because that seems to be what you are arguing, not efficacy- it is in several trials cited in CDC the almighty morons of Atlanta. You have no, zero, knowledge of the clinical reality. And apparently a lot else about the politization of a disease for a desired outcome. A political outcome of a submissive stupid society.
So be it. You cannot assume everyone is a carrier— especially by insisting on PCR testing (not designed for it in the first place) producing 95% FALSE positive tests every time it is used. And basing policy on the outcomes this idiocy creates. Give it up- can’t sell this to a knowledgeable person, and in this case a clinician with 30 years experience.
Here is the Sacred Holy St. Andrew Faucisti of Allergies (yes... he is a gdamned allergist quack who never practiced medicine, a medical apparatchik of the demonrat party and hitlery see: his emails to her):
Dr. Anthony Fauci himself, in a “60 Minutes” interview early in this pandemic, dismissed masks as essentially useless.
“There is no reason to be walking around wearing a mask. When you are in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel better, and might even block a droplet,” he said with almost an eyeroll, “but it’s not providing the perfect protection people think it is, and often there are unintended consequences…”
You comfortable with restrictions on daily simple life— enjoy them. No freedom loving individual of a modicum of intellect who are not remotely conditionable as apparently you are, would tolerate for one moment provably ineffective efforts, including locking people in their homes, etc.
The word, in the islamofascist gubmint idiots who are pushing this— and demonstrably not improving outcomes, is, in fact submission, submission to their will. All socialism is FORCE, and has to be, because like mask mandates it never works.
Stick your “curiosity”. None of your business or concern, Karen.
