So I should read and listen to a bunch of articles with no peer reviews or any secondary experiments got it. Jesus, who knew that most of you were not college educated. If studies worked like this, we would be in big trouble. I am somehow a shill because I support Trump and science?

Here is a list of a good amount of viral vaccines that DO work. Smallpox is completely eradicated from the world due to it, so how can you say antiviral vaccines don't work?

Jeez okay, do you know why HIV is so dangerous and different from other viruses? It binds to your white cells which are then incapable of killing them and instead kill each other trying to fight it off. COVID, Influenza, Smallpox and others do not bind with your T cells. That is why there is still no HIV vaccine, it is possible but with treatment research has slowed down unfortunately.

So again, GEOTUS says to wear a mask, will that lead him to be an authoritarian leader?

The number of deaths is still not determined first of all, second of all, NOW there is research showing that people have a post-viral syndrome where they cant smell or taste things still, have brain fog, fatigue, etc. So even if you survive, those symptoms are okay with you?

LMAO, how the fuck did I not answer it. Please slow it down for a retard like me and ask simpler since I am so stupid and such a sheep for wearing a mask when GEOTUS and CDC both say to wear one.

CDC and GEOTUS have said to wear a mask, science and scientists are pretty much conclusive on this topic, masks DO work. If they don't what is even the harm? What's the worst that will happen when you wear one, you have less chance of dying and so do others around you?

You in parentheses put (Hint: it's not a flu virus), which would logically in a conversation imply that you believe I am comparing it to Influenza when I am not. Successful vaccines for COVID are currently 0, but that is going to change as all companies are focused on that.

I'm not even pro LGBT rights and especially not pro trans rights as that shit is pure autism. Why are you bringing up LGBT rights which has nothing to do with my question, you are trying to use a straw man argument. So again, being on the side of science means I'm a leftist?

Let's say our CDC and GEOTUS say there is a 5% less chance of you getting it or giving it. Will you wear it? I think it would be the more patriotic thing to actually wear a mask and make sure you and other citizens do not get sick. To support a country you have to support the citizens.

and BTW, GEOTUS did say to wear a mask.

Have never said it is a Flu virus, the flu is caused by an influenza virus which come from a completely different class than coronavirus, COVID-19 is really an evolved SARS virus from 2002. Again nowhere near the Flu or Influenza virus.

Who said anything about Bill Gates? You are acting like there is literally no other company developing a vaccine other than Bill Gates, our own CDC is even trying to develop.

It's not that other methods are not accurate, it's that the tests are not accurate. For something to be accurate you have to develop a test, blood-brain barrier is easier to develop therefore it already exists, mouth method will obviously come at a later time, but there are already companies testing that method. Do you think blood culture tests were accurate from the start? No, somebody developed it and made it accurate which is why it is in use.

That is exactly what it is, a slippery slope. Have you heard of a philosophical argument concept called "the slippery slope fallacy"? Since when are masks and vaccines bad? Has there been any evidence that chips are going to be implanted in you? Do you really think POTUS will let that happen?

So we are against vaccines now? Since when? I have been on the subreddit since it's beginning days and never knew there were so many antivaxxers

Blood-brain barrier is one of the easiest ways to confirm as other methods are not accurate yet. You see this often with new tests and experimental drugs, the area of effect is always blood-brain barrier as it is easy to target and conclusive.

Even POTUS has said to wear a mask and follow guidelines recently. CDC website does have conclusive evidence at the bottom showing that masks DO help based on the studies they provide. They use the word "may" due to the fact that we barely know anything about COVID19 to this day. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover-guidance.html

Okay so as someone who has background in research, majority of these are not peer-reviewed studies. Most are also too recent and have not had confirmation by people repeating these studies.

Our own CDC recommends wearing masks and has even listed multiple studies on how they do work, albeit just like yours, a lot of them are too new with no peer review. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover-guidance.html

Lmao apparently saying "literally" makes someone a libtard. Logic.

I agree, except your choice for not wearing a mask can put others in danger as well though, so what do we do about that? Texas and Florida are having record numbers every day because of this.

I literally voted for Trump lmao. So if I disagree about masks I should be banned? Like what kind of a echo chamber do you want this website to be? lol

But... that's not it, it's not just about coughing, whenever you breathe you release particles when you are sick, same with you breathing from your nose, which is why you have to cover both the mouth and the nose.

Bandana isn't a valid substitute either, the CDC has recommended cloth as a substitute due to in the first few months of the pandemic masks being impossible to get. Is it as effective as a mask? Absolutely not. Is it better than nothing? Absolutely yes.
