Someone finally points it out. Yet people think cloth masks are just as effective. It's all crap.

Pro-masks are forcing people to wear masks because Reddit told them to.

I have to spend all day being a part of sending out all this chit making money profiting off of peoples' fear.

People are literally buying cases of anti-BACTERIAL wipes and hand sanitizer that kills 99% of BACTERIA for a VIRUS. Because of fear from the media.

It's honestly soul crushing.



Don't forget to wear your sanitary mask bro

these are made for India tho

And I've sold probably around 100-150k units of just those masks since April. People don't get it.

Same with hand sanitizer and anti-bacterial wipes. Those don't kill covid or viruses. BACTERIAL. but but but PUT ON YOUR MASK AND USE HAND SANITIZER! COVID!

Oh my gawsh speaking of hand sanitizer, I remember some retardo drowned their iphone in hand sanitizer. There goes a $1,000 phone just to buy another one.

I don't have the luxury to worry about this virus like some people obviously do.

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.
You love Trump. Trump's hand selected aids and cabinet effectively control the government.
So your daddy Trump is conducting "one big social, governmental and control experiment" on you?

Thats why it IS a loss of freedom.
Nobody has the right to impose their fears onto others.
Public compulsory masks are valid grounds for war.

But its not even about fear or risk of harm.
Its about being alittle more comfortable & not looking stupid.

100% effective masks DO exist - the proper cartridge masks against any pathogen regardless if you believe covid or not.
Those who are scared can choose to wear them & be 100% safe.
Instead they want to force everyone to wear crappy ineffective fabric masks to 'maximize everyone's chances of being safe'.
Why- because they want to be a little more comfortable (compared to cartridge masks) & not look stupid wearing cartridge masks.
This is wrong & grounds for war.

Unbelievable. Funny thing is we got in UV light phone sanitizers and UV light phone charging ports.

Yes. You read that right.

You’re the biggest dumb fuk on the forum. Didn’t you make a thread about doing g4p because you didn’t even have 100 dollars.

Let those with 3 digit iqs do the talking itt. Your OP was sufficient.

Nothing new here...
A medical historian points out that people refused to wear masks during the 1918 flu pandemic, according to CNBC. “One woman, a downtown attorney, argued to Mayor Rolph that the mask ordinance was ‘absolutely unconstitutional’ because it was not legally enacted, and that as a result, every police officer who had arrested a mask scofflaw was personally liable,” according to the Influenza Archive. This newspaper article published in the Rocky Mountain News has the headline “Masks Not Popular; Many People Ignore Health Board Rules.”

Sweden has a lower percentage of excess deaths than some countries, but a higher one than others:



Some locales with very serious excess death numbers:

You can argue that these measures "create fear", but I think you could also argue that they mitigate fear by making people feel that it is safe to frequent businesses.

In an interview that will air Thursday on ABC News’s “Start Here” podcast, Fauci said public health officials did not recommend people wear masks early in the pandemic because there was a shortage of personal protective equipment for health professionals.

"So the feeling was that people who were wanting to have masks in the community, namely just people out in the street, might be hoarding masks and making the shortage of masks even greater. In that context, we said that we did not recommend masks," Fauci said.

During the "Start Here" interview, Fauci said scientists quickly changed their recommendation after realizing the extent to which asymptomatic spread was contributing to COVID-19 infections.

"At that point, which is now months and months ago, I have been on the airways, on the radio, on TV, begging people to wear masks. And I keep talking in the context of wear a mask, keep physical distance, avoid crowds, wash your hands and do things more outdoors versus indoors," Fauci said.

We still don't have N95 level masks for everyone and the US isn't building factories to make them either.

broscience is still being spread. masks prevent exposure not prevent u from getting the virus. more exposure more serious symptoms. proven at the beginning of the pandemic. it's like wrapping a shirt around your mouth/nose when there's a fire. wont prevent smoke from getting in ur lungs but it'll slow down the amount/exposure, along with other chit

Then why have our new cases continued to hum along... It's almost as if our effort toward masking is entirely futile.

Why are you posting an article by a NEWS outlet talking about Trump taking it out of context? No one said anything about Trump

Nothing to be taken out of context.

"there's no reason to be walking around with a mask. when you're in the middle of an outbreak, it might make people feel better and it might even block a droplet but it's not providing the perfect protection people think it is"

who's ever described it as the "perfect protection"? I think most people are in agreement they're not going to protect or prevent 100%, but saying they do nothing at all to me sounds farfetched

I can't wait until after this election is over. Then the world will go back to "re-evaluate" the statistics for COVID.

Then pro-masks will pull a full 180, then everyone will start to say masks never did **** like we've been saying all along.

The non maskers are the only ones making it political.

The maskers are pro health and pro life. My decision to wear a mask has nothing to do with the election. What are you on about?

You keep posting trash replies, bitching and moaning about your freedom being infringed upon.

Can you post anything remotely close to defend your stance?

Hard not to make it political when the pro mask crowd wants to force you to do something against your will, with the power of the state behind them

Without government getting involved, it'd be fine if you judged me all you want. Who cares? Maybe I'll be socially shamed and frowned upon for not wearing one but now if you're not wearing one, a cop will show up with a gun on his hip to fine or arrest you. If you resist, you'll be shot or jailed.

Maskers are the ones forcing people to wear masks. In CA it's a misdemeanor because the liberal govt wants to arrests people for not wearing masks. Yet somehow it's not political?
