No problem. I am one of the most vaxxed people on the planet (heavy traveler - vacs enforced by work).
But seriously? 4 years ago vaxxing mostly old people to 50% effectiveness of hospitalizations was good enough. Now they want 95% effectiveness of "cases" amongst the entire global population? That is fucking nuts.
He's got the same shit Qtards have. The Epstein flight log and a conspiracy theory. AKA zilch.
The standard to win a libel case is unbelievably high against a high-level public figure. Look at Trumps twitter or even reddit. Or refer to Hustler Magazine vs Jerry Fallwell. Or any of 500 years of political cartoons before Twitter existed.
Amazon Prime has been doing this with every package since March. At least to remote destinations.
Usually they send you an email saying it has shipped. And then they immediately update the tracking to say 'delayed due to external factors' and don't ship it for another week.
But they do this type of clever shit too. Probably it originated at a 3rd party seller in Lebanon. A computer in Nashville generated the UPS sticker. The seller in Lebanon stuck it on the box.... Yada yada yada.
And just because it says UPS doesn't mean its actually on a UPS truck. It could easily be on an Amazon truck, especially if it is across the border to Canada or something. UPS might never even touch the package.
You have it backwards. Simply say "No thank you" and let them come up with some vast comprehensive legal argument.
You win by keeping it as simple as possible. Not by arguing legal theory or mask science with the minimum wage retard greeter in his wheelchair at Walmart.
Certainly.
And I would add another idea I have. Stay away from statistics as much as possible. For a few reasons:
-
Even for very smart experienced professionals, most have not done any real statistical work in decades. Or if they have, it is narrow to a few specific tasks.
-
Most people on the internet are cocky young undergrads who think they understand stats because they have Stat 101. But they don't.
-
Many of the statistical models on the internet and news media have been made by people in points 1 & 2.
-
It is not possible to any sort of statistical analysis over a ten minute fight at the dinner table. It takes days of study to make any sense out of what is happening in the world statistically.
-
And this is A BIG ONE. Most people have never travelled the world and have no fucking clue about other countries. I have been fighting with my dad, and every thing devolves into comparisons BUT BUT BUT blah blah blah in country XYZ....that's why they have fewer cases. Even though he has never been anywhere and I have 70 countries under my bolt. "No Dad. That is not true. I lived there for 5-years, REMEMBER?" "But on TV....."
Cheers. And thanks for your OP.
Qatar Airways is one option. They have what the call their Q-Suites which is their business or executive class. They are fully enclosed and don't require masks. Fairly reasonably priced, especially for a one-way flight.
I've been looking into other options, but that is all I have found so far. (Other than private jet)
Great post. And I hate masks. And I hate maskers. But all that is really relevant is your point:
Cloth masks have never historically been considered an effective option for stopping viruses except by the desperate, ignorant, or scared.
Masks are all about psychology. And always have been, even in the operating room. You are never going to convince a masker that masks don't work by talking about nano-meters and droplet velocities. They literally can't comprehend those things any more than they comprehend a light-year as a unit of distance or can estimate the distance to the nearest star.
You are better off to talk to them about their fears and emotions.
I'm thinking of visiting Brazil as a Canadian right now. Any advice? The borders appear to be completely open. I've been before and driven from Rio to Salvador.
Just looking for a quiet beach town with no masks & no hysteria. As your president might say, no faggotry.
Try it. In the oil-patch we do drills and practice conserving air.
In the H2S course I commonly take, we go in, in pairs, into a blacked out room to rescue a bean-bag dummy. One hand on the other's shoulder. Follow the walls with your left hand (or right). Carry the dummy out.
It is like a 200 sq ft room and people run out of air.
Anything positive pressure actually works....to protect you. So if everybody actually wore positive pressure SCBA type air tanks, it would work....
....if the entire planet shaved their faces, got a fit test, took a annual full day course on how to use them, did daily inspections, practiced wearing them & learned to control their breathing (because a typical 30-minute rated tank only lasts most people about 10minutes).
I have seriously thought about buying one to wear around Walmart as a joke. $3,000 bucks or so. (I used to wear one on an daily basis in a oil-battery with 40% H2S). But I don't know how I would possibly re-fill it often enough to keep the joke running.
Fuck you are an idiot. It is an expression. People who say "masks don't work" actually mean that the "efficacy of cloth masks among healthy people in the general-population is so FUCKING-low that there is little-to-no-point to wearing them". Nobody is fucking talking about masks worn by doctors, and fire-fighters, and the military or other highly-trained professionals.
Something like 70% of the planet prays to imaginary flying-pink-spagetti monsters in the sky because they are afraid of death. You are not going to teach 7-billion people how to wear a mask properly.
That is why masks don't work. They will never work. They are mind control. A religion. For fearful people. Created by the UN for political reasons.
As a medical professional, how can you be this dumb? Half your patients don't know the difference between a virus and a bacteria. They show up demanding anti-biotics for the common cold. Do you not understand how dumb the general population is?
It has been studied at length. Do masks work in medical facilities, in sterile facilities, with highly trained professionals? Yes, to a small percentage of success, maybe. Do they work in the general populace to prevent the spread of respiratory infections? NO, NOT EVEN A FUCKING LITTLE BIT.

Holy fucking Christ you are an idiot. Every single study about masks for the last 100 years, before the UN politicized them, has come to the exact same conclusions.
Wearing a cloth mask is ~10% effective, wearing a surgical mask is ~30% effective, wearing a properly fitted N95 respirator is ~90% effective (effective defined as removing respiratory droplets of certain sizes) IF worn properly.
Every single study has determined that masking up the healthy people in the general-public at large is ineffective because PEOPLE are too fucking stupid to wear them properly. When people wear masks wrong their effectiveness drops to ZILCH and possible into the negatives.
The idea that a inner-city-hood-gang-banger single-mom high-school dropout who got pregnant at 14 can sew-up an effective mask out of a kitchen dishtowel, put a My-Little-Pony sticker on it and slap it on her 3-year-olds face and stroll her fatass through Walmart in her mask & shitstained jogging pants and it somehow makes anybody safer is fucking absurd. Mommy can barely keep her 3-year from have a screaming fit and shitting on the floor in aisle 12.
Masks are psychological mind-control. The WHO says as much on their website.

Here is everything you need to know about masks. We should stop saying that "they don't work" because they lefty fags use it to demonize us. Some masks obviously work in some situations.
What every study in the last 50-years has found is that especially cloth and surgical masks have limited effectiveness ~10% to 20% if worn correctly and properly fit tested. But almost zero members of the general public are capable of doing that so their effectiveness drops to virtually nil or may even make things worse. And thus there is no reason to recommend healthy members of the general public to wear masks as part of their general day to day routine to prevent communicable disease.
AKA "they don't work" to any normal person except a leftist.
LMFAO. I graduated in a class of about 500, in a university with about 30,000 students & 3,000 academic staff.
I had about 20 people I associated with. I have not spoken to a single person from uni in decades. At this moment, I can't recall the name of a single classmate. The idea that 1,500 people from a university can recall anything about Amy Coney Barret is just idiotic.
That book and the entire series are full on revisionist propaganda.
Basically it misleads by suggesting that the actions of one or two tribes in small geographic areas are representative of tribes all across the Americas. It does this not just with ideas of fire management, but also agriculture, animal husbandy, trade, governance, etc etc
The America's had some great civilizations like the Mayans and Incas that almost certainly did all of that as per 1491, but the vast majority of tribes were "basically cavemen that lived in shitty tents" especially as you move north - Northern US, Canada, Alaska, the arctic circle.
I can assure you there was no "forest management" occurring in January at -50F when the sun hadn't risen in 90 days in some igloo north of the arctic circle. What there was, was a sac full of fermented seal blubber that you ate raw to get enough calories to survive the winter without canibalizing your slaves. Six people huddled together in about 15 sq ft snow cave with a seal blubber oil candle to keep warm.
Even in temperate climates like Seattle & Vancouver it was not pretty. I suggest reading John Jewitt's journal's for a more balanced perspective than 1491.
You realize that Disney is as evil as all of them put together right? They own vast swaths of propaganda news media.
And of romantic cartoons you may remember from the 1980s has a been replaced to transgender monkys having gay sex on the savagna plains and incest family lion orgies.
If you want to show your kids classic Disney, start with a box set beginning in 1960 and ending in 1990.
