Anti vaxxers be like I don't cover my mouth when I sneeze. Muh freedom!

Reminds me of my niece. She's 6 and last time she was at my house she just kept coughing directly up into the air. I think she's conservative and doing it on purpose.

You can not think that and just feel defeated over how the world reacted to it >_>. The masks protectthe people who don't care about you more than it protects you. But I agree you're still doing the right thing by wearing it and people who don't aren't helping others and are selfish.

The problem I have is if someone coughed my way and Im the one with the mask, now their germs are just chillin on my masks >_>. Which is why everyone is supposed to wear one or it doesn't work. You're suppose to prevent your own germs for others sake and them do the same. But we're all too entitled to do that

The one time I took off my mask and went to the post office, I got sick. Awful cold. Still recovering. Gonna be masking up again. It's better than getting sick again.

The President categorized it as being over because we didn't have to wear masks anymore lol. It's over if your understanding of the pandemic was that you had to wear masks.

So you're saying everybody who doesn't wear a mask is a racist?
I wouldn't bother engaging with that moderator. Comparing people who don't wear masks to actual KKKers is a pretty offensive argument that would get any regular user suspended, so it's not worth risking your account over someone who talks like that knowing they can get away with it.

Did you know back in the day before AC, they designed buildings for maximum airflow potential? New medical buildings are now taking notes from older architecture to help with respiratory viruses because the switch to AC did cause issues with contagion. Then the added scrubbers and good filters, but it's still more cost effective to have the air pressure differences be naturally occurring

Real question, how effective is the vaccination at preventing spread?

I remember reading on the CDC website that double vaxxed + boosted means you can (relatively) safely go maskless without fear of spreading the disease.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


my takeaway is pointing out the hypocrisy of people who are anti-mask when it comes to preventing the spread of germs, but wear masks to hide their identity when doing something abhorrent like being at a Klan rally, or LARPing with the Proud Boys. nothing in that statement implies all anti-maskers are part of the KKK.

And my takeaway was that you compared anti-maskers to KKKers. How is that wrong or inaccurate?

And yet, this doesn't get roasted for poor reading comprehension? Nowhere anywhere in any of my posts did I say anti-maskers are part of the KKK. All I said was that he compared the two. That's it. I never accused him of saying anti-maskers were part of the KKK either, so I'm not sure how you arrived at the conclusion that I did say anti-maskers were part of the KKK.

I need to take a step back and realize, as usual, several others have opted to chime in on a conversation I was having with one person.

I will not be addressing the peanut gallery. I made the mistake in my earlier post and regret it greatly. As like with the hydra, one conversation chopped off, two more spawn.

I will continue the conversation with the person with whom I was speaking as they see fit to respond. I left off the conversation with a question in post 180 and will leave it at that. If they choose not to respond, so be it. The engagement ends there. I would not pursue that person to continue the engagement, as that would likely constitute harassment, so I will remain within the confines of the ToU as I have been so far. But I have no interest in tackling what would eventually become dozens of posts over time for each individual.

Thank you.

One of the fundamental problems with science illiteracy is the belief that changing one's recommendations or practice based on emerging evidence is somehow indicative of experts not knowing what they're doing. On the contrary, that is precisely the right way to do it. The people who hard-headedly stick to one plan and warp reality around them to make it fit are the ones who are dangerous.
This is an excellent way to put this.

At work we went from mandatory to highly recommended masking but once it wasnt absolutely mandatory no one wore them again. >_>

This is at a hospital, so full of healthcare workers etc.

if they arent going to do it, I suspect no one will?

I remember reading on the CDC website that double vaxxed + boosted means you can (relatively) safely go maskless without fear of spreading the disease.

Since the advent of omicron and omicron variations, and the discovery that there's a falloff in immunity since your last vaccination, not exceptionally. Contagion is a function of viral load. The vaccine assists your body in reducing viral load that you're carrying/ tolerating some viral load, provided that the viral load is of a variant that the vaccine targets.

Omicron is very known for breakthrough infections, especially later variants. In theory, omicron variants are less severe, but there's still evidence of immune system compromise or long covid even after recovery from omicron variants.
