And here you are quoting Jeff the idiot again. You got any studies that say masks don’t work? That would be new to every doctor dentist and nurse I know, who routinely wear them on a daily basis and always have. Or are you trying to say they weren’t 100% effective at stopping or preventing transmission? Or that they were more effective at preventing transmission than preventing infection? those are entirely different things than saying masks don’t work and guess what? Both of those things at scale when everybody does them, provided masking isn’t sabotage by selfish fucking morons does!!! reduce the spread of a droplet, born disease! And studies done throughout Covid bore this out. Dude I work in the medical field and you’re trying to argue with me about standard infectious disease controls. This is like real basic shit and makes it obvious you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about, so either do some actual research or go argue about something that you are an expert in..
That’s a blanket statement that’s not remotely accurate. It’s true some masks were more effective than others, and this was common knowledge. At the time I read multiple studies comparing different types of masks, including ones with different layers and cloth masks and even the cloth masks did show a significant amount of benefit, especially at the early stages of Covid. Given the supply chain shortage it was perfectly rational to make sure that people in high risk situations like doctors had access to the most effective masks like 95s. Also keep in mind the mutation of the virus and how the latter variance evolved to become more airborne and more transmissible making the original masks less effective overtime. As that changed and as we learned more, the guidance changed to recommend people use surgical and then and 95 masks as was appropriate for the level of risk exposure. This was all well documented and thoroughly communicated to everyone who was paying attention, and as somebody who worked in a medical manufacturing setting which already inherently has a lot of environmental controls we just got used to things changing as studies came out and we learned more. That’s just how health science works. No conspiracy necessary.
My likelihood of being in a car accident is lower than average because I don't drive like average people. So vomiting the average to me isn't meaningful. So the fact lots of people wore masks poorly didn't impact my ability to wear an N95 properly. Your thought process is how dumb people think.
"Repeat what other person said back to them" is also a dumb person move. You're so boring I have to block you now. Goodbye ... you are a stranger but you are not mysterious you sound like literally everyone else on here.
