I believe that you are sincere. I do wear a mask out of obedience to my priest, who asked me to out of love for my neighbor.

I personally do not believe they should be required, but I have come around to the idea that if a certain percentage DO wear masks, the spread of this thing can be drastically slowed. (To any reading: yes, I have heard and seen all the memes about the size of the virus vs. the size of the holes in the mask, you can smell a fart, they don't work, etc. The issue is that the virus is not itself airborne but does ride along with moisture droplets which DO get caught on the mask...)

Having said all that, please also read below the other responses which quite correctly point out that A) there is some doubt as to the accuracy of reported cases and resultant deaths, and B) even if they were accurate, this would not be much more impactful than an aggressive flu season.

It's possible to be both prudent in behavior and skeptical of motives.

We've known for some time that the disease impacts those people age 65 and older with underlying health conditions....

Just take every report of virus at face value and get scared like a faggot. I think he died from something else and they're just saying it's virus related.

I just got to add - Herman Cain reportedly changed your mind on things? REALLY? WEAK

Hah! Great point! I saw another post that said if it were true that masks would protect you from a deadly disease, they wouldn't have to demand we wear masks--we'd be elbowing each other aside to get masks!

Did you know he had stage 4 cancer? Does that make you now change your perspective a bit?

No issues with masks, I do have an issue with mask mandates.

No reasonable person is suggesting that vulnerable people shouldn't feel free to wear masks. It's the government mandated mask-wearing that people reasonably object to, and also the policies of national retail store chains that are mandating masks because many people have no realistic alternatives but to shop in those stores.

He wouldnt have died if idiots like you weren't buying into the scam. He would have been able to keep getting cancer treatments on time.

Your USELESS worrying helped kill this man. Good job.

"Open mind" in your case means you can't read the labels on the mask packaging that specifically say they will NOT stop a virus. It's not "even if." And if you think people should risk their health wearing one as a public service announcement then you are truly hopeless at at reasoning. Countries that didn't lock down had fewer deaths.

According to your title one person’s death changed your perspective. You’re either lying or you’re intellectually adrift.

Approximately 140,000 people have died, but this one is the one that did it?

Please ...

Did you social distance from any other disease? No? Just this one? Says a lot about you

If you came with an open mind follow the truth. The truth says this entire event was staged and they never cared about your health. Ever. Just control.

Fuck the mask of compliance and the reminder is that we need to quit fearing our government and remind them to fear us.

We will. In November

Says the goober that lets Herman Cains cancer death assuage his issues with wearing masks to prevent covid. Fucking moron.

Stage 4 cancer. Not sure if you understand what that means. People with stage 4 cancer do not over come viral infections easily due to weakened and overworked immune systems. We still dont know if Herman Cains particular brand of covid was nothing more than the common cold.

Take your mask shilling elsewhere.

Because he, as an adult human, made a personal choice. I know that personal culpability and responsibility are foreign concepts to democrats. If someone is high risk, they should CHOOSE what is best for themselves. Stay home, wear a mask, don't wear a mask, but forcing millions and millions to lay their liberties down to possibly save a few folks who should have made the adult choice to stay home is not the correct path. You choose to wear a mask if it makes you feel good. I wont call you out on that. I will think you are a simple fool, but that's your call. If I end up dying of covid because I don't wear a mask, that is my fault. Not the person I caught it from.There is a quote about this. I will butcher it, but get the premise correct.

"those that will give up liberty for a little perceived security deserve neither."

Herman Cain understood that.

He was old and had comorbidities. He would have died from a cold, probably.

You can tell that the commies want mask bad when they are concern shilling for mask here.

The NPC meme is so accurate because they say the exact same things all over the net.

It's ok to have an open mind. But do you really think wearing masks would have prevented Herman Cain from getting the virus?

Being socially isolated would have prevented it, of course, but he made the choice to live his life instead of being holed up.

If I have a the virus and my 83 year old family member asked to come over, even with a mask I wouldn't do it, because I know that masks are a placebo. I would stay home until I feel better.

I can give a fuck without "showing" by wearing a symbol and having an asthma attack. I can show more concern touting the success Doctors are having with Hydroxychloroquine.

I would like to know if Mr. Cain was treated with HCQ/AZ/Z!
