Based Putin.
Fake and gay.
Are they going to ban faggotry too? Sodomites pounding each other's butts spreads a lot more disease than singing in church.
Based. I want to paint some crime statistics on a DC street.
There are those of us who don't care about race and hate communists no matter what color they are.
Why should millions of Americans be forced to wear compliance masks because of the handful of people who are going to still be running around while sick?
Because it's not a handful. There are now nearly three million confirmed cases. The virus tends to spread at times people are either asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic. If you and your wife think you can spot someone with Kung Flu just by looking at them, you are sadly mistaken.
Fox has been strangely silent.
All of us need to blast this on social media to normie friends. "Trump was right about Hydroxychloroquine and saved thousands of lives!"
Not for a study like this.
KEK I thought the same thing. The only people who were surprised were dumbasses who believed CNN's propaganda in the first place.
it doesnt say it protects you, or helps others if youre asymptomatic.
Viral-infected aerosol droplets are the same size in asymptomatic carriers as in symptomatic carriers and are ejected with less force, since an asymptomatic carrier necessarily isn't coughing and sneezing the way a symptomatic carrier is. Therefore it is safe to conclude as a matter of biophysics and fluid dynamics that masks are even more effective for asymptomatic individuals than for symptomatic individuals, because asymptomatic carriers aren't ejecting virus aerosols with as much force.
many of these magazines are just left wing propaganda
True but this study was done before mask wearing became a political football. And it's a controlled study that reaches a conclusion that most doctors thought it likely would. That's as reliable as you can get in this day and age.
SCOTUS can't make law.
SCOTUS didn't make law. SCOTUS rightly interpreted the Tenth Amendment as giving full police powers to state governments. Included within the police power is the power to compel people to wear masks, take vaccines, quarantine, etc. during public health emergencies.
You need to brush up on your constitutional law if you're going to continue to discuss it. I'm giving you an F on your first exam.
IF YOU ARE SYMPTOMATIC THEN WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU VENTURE IN PUBLIC. IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT SYMPTOMATIC MEANS.
I can figure out what symptomatic means. But there are tons of dumbasses who can't be trusted to do that, however. Do you honestly think the Trayvon Martins and Chris Browns of the world are going to accurately assess their symptoms? Of course not.
The only solution, therefore, is to force everybody to wear masks. It's not my fault that a large number of American citizens are fucking retards unable to self diagnose Kung Flu, but that's the way it is.
Reading comprehension is important. That quote in no way supports healthy people wearing masks everywhere.
There's no way to know who is and isn't infected, dumbass. Coronavirus can present with very mild symptoms that are easily mistaken for something else, and the general public isn't competent to self-diagnose.
Duh.
Excellent post, OP.
This is the best data possible given ethical limits on human testing and proves that Donald Trump was 100% right about hydroxychloroquine.
Based Pinochet Poster. I'm down so long as we don't do anything illegal.
Doesn't matter if they work or not (they don't). GOV does not have the authority to force citizens to wear them.
Of course the government has authority to compel you to wear a mask during a global viral pandemic. SCOTUS ruled that the power to make public health regulations in these situations is virtually unlimited in Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905). That case is still the law of the land.
I've read all the crap you posted. You Mask Derangement Syndrome nuts apparently have a copy pasta that you drop on people that think masks are a good idea. Your idiot friends have sent that garbage to me several times before.
If you think mask wearing is anything like global warming bullshit, you are a literal retard.
That's called a case study. It is different from, and inferior to, a controlled study. The Nature article I posted is a controlled study that directly measured viral loads and found masks were extremely useful in preventing spread of both influenza and coronaviruses.
When a controlled study reaches a conclusion that a case study didn't, the controlled study wins. That's how science works. I guess they didn't teach you that at clown college.
Jesus, you have absolutely no idea how scientific literature works, do you?
That says there was little solid evidence for the efficacy of masks in 2015. This study was done in 2020 and proved masks limit the transmission of coronavirus: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0843-2#auth-14
Surgical face masks significantly reduced detection of influenza virus RNA in respiratory droplets and coronavirus RNA in aerosols, with a trend toward reduced detection of coronavirus RNA in respiratory droplets. Our results indicate that surgical face masks could prevent transmission of human coronaviruses and influenza viruses from symptomatic individuals.
It turns out surgeons weren't just dipshits for wearing masks and that they actually do inhibit the spread of pathogens.
So you admit I'm right, you're just mad that I called you on your bullshit too quickly?
Why don't you turn your Mask Derangement Syndrome off and stop lying about masks. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0843-2#auth-14

The only actual study in all that garbage you posted was retracted because the authors were incompetent: https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/L20-0745
Next time, before you post a study as authoritative, check to make sure it hasn't been retracted for academic fraud.
That's how many Nigerians want you to deposit money for their prince. First you need to send them a small deposit of $1,000 to prove your bank transactions are working.
