The flip side of when the fascist fucks made jews wear yellow stars. Now, just ostracize everyone without a mask.

Your immune system being strong will protect you more than any mask besides that shit they wear in Outbreak.

Well that’s just not true. More masks = less droplets. It really is common sense.

The argument for masks is that Covid is airborne, right? A mask does not protect against airborne virus particles. They only somewhat block the "droplets" you speak of which are produced from splashes or splatter and are not the same thing as airborne virus spread. It's not even full protection from that since most masks are constantly fiddled and not properly disposed of. Hell the N95's we used in the hospital had to be routinely discarded, i can't imagine how contaminated some of the masks people wear are. Mold, etc.

It's all on the FDA site: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/personal-protective-equipment-infection-control/n95-respirators-surgical-masks-and-face-masks

Masks are useless because they force you to reinhale the toxins your body is trying to exhale, making your immune system weaker. You are more likely to get sick if you're wearing a mask.

The mask doesn't protect you. It protects other people from you. Just saying.

I do not think they should be forced but people should use them.

Then you're free to wear a mask. No one's going to grab your face and pull it off your jaw. But making legal requirements that force people to wear a mask is unconstitutional tyranny.

This is like the new peanut allergy. "I have a problem, so society must bend." No. Stay home.

When you're dealing with invisible sub-micron particles and human physiology which most people have little experience with or knowledge about, there is no "common sense" that applies.

It's only a problem if you are forced to wear one.

Uh, yeah, that's the political part that everyone's pissed about.

Masks are better than no masks. This is common sense.

Don't go rioting and looting without one!

Yeah, masks are bullshit and should be 100% voluntary. I see people reusing disposable masks. Other diy'er masks go in and out pockets and purses - reused for months!

Hell, I use a bandana when rq'd to enter, but at least alternate and wash them regularly.

What I think the masks were really about was the beginning of the fear trend, obedience, submission, and people buying countless Chyna-made "ppe". Remember seeing tons of trendy mask ads all over the internet prior to the kung flu being confirmed stateside. Probably just another "coincidence" though.

Correct. You're not breathing oxygen, you're reinhaling the toxins your body is trying to exhale.
