why do people think their freedoms are being taken away if they have to wear a mask?

I see posts on social media about people legit outraged that they still have to wear a mask and in stores and public areas. am I wrong for not giving a ****? yes it sucks and all but I'm pretty much used to being a homebody and in my routine of gym, gaming, eating sleeping. it was annoying wearing masks everywhere the first month or so but I'm pretty much used to it and whatever about it. I don't among friends and family but really doesn't matter to me wearing one in a grocery store, in fact I prefer it I don't want that corona chit. once they learn more bout the virus and how to prevent it spreading more fine but as of now, not understanding what people are going mad about

You admitted you don't wear mask with friends and family. Basically you want to murder old people now.

concerned about catching the flu

Thinks nothing about rawdogging twinks.

I'd be a lot more concerned with the other viruses you've exposed yourself to and spend less time worrying about masks tbh

Most people don't have freedom. JFL if you think you can get away posting anything on social media without getting fired from your job. The only people with freedom are those with $$$.

Because the right to refuse “treatment” is a constitutional right. You can see how the slippery slope argument may apply here.

People have been “forced” to wear clothes in public places for a pretty long time but they aren’t complaining about that. If you don’t like it, go to places that don’t enforce it. I have no complaints so far even tho it does suck. Forgot my mask today cause I switched cars and had to come back home.

Because it isn't JUST "to keep us safe" and "flatten the curve". It would certainly be nice if "big brother" were only thinking of our health and safety, but that's not really the case... In truth, it's basically just one big social, governmental and control experiment to them. To see just how much they can get away with in controlling the citizens as well as enforcing unconstitutional orders and mandates.

At no time should any of our constitutional rights be infringed upon in any way, shape or form regardless of what's happening.

“Those who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”



Besides, the whole thing is overblown and over-exaggerated with a 99.9% survival rate. You'll be fine, pussy.

Explain Sweden and other countries following Sweden's example, then. Did away with the mask mandates while the "pandemic" is still going on and they are doing just fine and even seeing decreased cases.

Ask yourself, would we be wearing masks and shutting down the economy if any other president was in office? There is only one correct answer.

Yeah, wearing a mask to slow the spread of a potentially deadly pandemic is totally the same thing.

Sorry that you're a giant manbaby who is more of a pussy than my 3 year old niece though.

We would be, although we'd have fewer cases because Trump couldn't have ****ed up more if he tried

It’s the principle of it all

Plus it’s ridiculous considering the survival rate

It extends beyond masks, masks are just an example

What about the government taking away the freedom to work and earn a living or operate a business?

The whole thing is just nuts

Because it's a slippery slope letting the government tell you what to do. They already have enough laws to control many areas of our lives. We don't need more. I saw someone posting on a local site asking if they were allowed to trick or treat this year, and someone replied that it was on the city board docs to discuss. People are letting go of control over their own lives and giving more control to the government.

Masks have been shown to work in studies. They help to prevent you from spreading it to others. You'd think after the Republicans just had a superspread event that the Trump cult would start to believe masks work, but nooope. They're just digging in deeper even though the love of their life now is in the hospital for covid

The government already tells you what you can and can't do. You can't drive the wrong way down the road. You gotta obey speed limits. You can't do drugs. You can't murder. You can't steal. I could go on and on.

If you guys don’t believe in masks why are dentists and surgeons wearing them? I suggest you ask them to not wear one next time you see them. Tell the dentist or surgeon that masks are not effective and germs and viruses are fake news

Ok. So far, most studies found little to no evidence for the effectiveness of cloth face masks in the general population, neither as personal protective equipment nor as a source control. You're a sheep, just like all the other paniccels.

1. A May 2020 meta-study on pandemic influenza published by the US CDC found that face masks had no effect, neither as personal protective equipment nor as a source control.
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article
2. A July 2020 review by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medince found that there is no evidence for the effectiveness of cloth masks against virus infection or transmission.
https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/maskin...with-politics/
3. A Covid-19 cross-country study by the University of East Anglia found that a mask requirement was of no benefit and could even increase the risk of infection.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...260v1.full.pdf
4. An April 2020 review by two US professors in respiratory and infectious disease from the University of Illinois concluded that face masks have no effect in everyday life, neither as self-protection nor to protect third parties (so-called source control).
https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-pers...sed-sound-data
5. An article in the New England Journal of Medicine from May 2020 came to the conclusion that cloth face masks offer little to no protection in everyday life.
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372
6. An April 2020 Cochrane review (preprint) found that face masks didn’t reduce influenza-like illness (ILI) cases, neither in the general population nor in health care workers.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1....30.20047217v2
7. An April 2020 review by the Norwich School of Medicine (preprint) found that “the evidence is not sufficiently strong to support widespread use of facemasks”, but supports the use of masks by “particularly vulnerable individuals when in transient higher risk situations.”
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1....01.20049528v1
8. A July 2020 study by Japanese researchers found that cloth masks “offer zero protection against coronavirus” due to their large pore size and generally poor fit.
http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/13523664
9. A 2015 study in the British Medical Journal BMJ Open found that cloth masks were penetrated by 97% of particles and may increase infection risk by retaining moisture or repeated use.
https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/4/e006577
10. An August 2020 review by a German professor in virology, epidemiology and hygiene found that there is no evidence for the effectiveness of cloth face masks and the improper daily use of masks by the public may in fact lead to numerous additional infections.
