Masks don't work?

Report from the CDC shows they're not effective....

Wish they would make up their mind lol 🤦‍♀️

It was always the case. Think bb gun vs chain link fence.

It seems like nothing has worked over the past 7 months.
If masks work why social distancing ?
If social distancing works why masks?
If both of these work why Lockdown?

This study doesn't prove that masks don't work because, as is stated, it cannot be known whether the infection was picked up when masks were taken off to eat and drink. Furthermore, they cannot verify that masks were worn correctly, were combined with appropriate social distancing and were of an effective type. Then there is the number in the sample, 154. Far from definitive in all aspects.

It's interesting but that is all.
Just indicates who can and can’t be controlled.. I think it’s about 50/50

The latest from CDC: 85% of COVID-19 patients report ‘always’ or ‘often’ wearing a mask.

It's just common sense...... It's not healthy to rebreathe the toxins you exhale PERIOD!

I'm not really surprised that the Federalist continues to misrepresent what the CDC and scientists, and more importantly common sense, are saying.

The mask is NOT to protect you from getting infected. It is to prevent you from infecting others.

When will the Federalist figure this simple thing out?
They don't. Its an illusion & fascist so I don't go out.

I've seen people wearing masks only around their face and not their nose. There's also the eyes, the virus can go into the eyes. That's why I wear safety glasses, the safety glasses just look like real glasses so it's no big deal.

But I think masks are as effective as how you use them and people lie about wearing them, they don't want to feel shamed so of course they'll tell the CDC they've been properly wearing it 🤣

There's also other factors too, like they wear a mask but live with five other people, that's five other chances to get the virus and chances are they could have gotten it at home with the mask off.

Well, I'm just so shocked! NOT.
Never thought they did. I don't jump on bandwagons.

the thing with masks (or anything other than SCBA's/NPC Gear/full hazmat gear) is that they're one time use only...

otherwise it would be like reusing the same condom over and over to protect partner from std's...

The CDC is actually not a reliable source for any of this guidance.
Northwest · M
@Ambroseguy80 Yes, if you listen to the politician at the CDC who do not dare defy Trump's orders. The rank and file is just fine, but we have a President who politicized science.

@Northwest 🤯

@Ambroseguy80 neither is WHO, Fauci, or Sleepy joe

There are so many studies with apparently conflicting results. Common sense seems to suggest it's better for everyone to wear one because wearing a mask protects others.

The group was a 100 and something people and its only one study there would need to be more studies done with more people in order to say that what this study tells you is correct and sufficient but this is from the federalist so you can guarantee that they are posting this because they want you to think this.

If you wear a mask and are around people who do not wear a mask your risk of getting covid will be higher than if all around you were wearing mask. All of this is basic science.

If masks didn't work medical professionals wouldn't be wearing them daily.
Northerner · 70-79, M
@JaggedLittlePill The medical staff will tell you they know the masks don,t work,but they are ordered to wear them.

Beware The Federalist.

@StevetheSleeve lol I've never read it until today

@Beautifullyderanged Lol. They’ve got you. There is no escape.

SW should take this crap down, actually.
Beautifullyderanged · 36-40, F
@Human1000 People deserve to see everything written about the issue, they make their own decisions and that's on them, you have no right to say what they can and cannot see
Human1000 · M
@Beautifullyderanged I am not an SW Admin so I'm not claiming I have such a right. If I were however, I'd take anti-mask posts and delete them just as I would someone advocating swallowing bleach to get rid of COVID. There are not "two sides." That's a fallacy. The anti-mask morons should have no right to kill me by convincing others with their infantile, paranoid rants.
Beautifullyderanged · 36-40, F
@Human1000 I think you're the paranoid one. People wearing masks are still getting sick, this has been proven, it happened in 1918 because the masks were crap and also people didn't understand how to wear them properly and its happening again now for the same reasons. More importantly Covid isn't going to just simply vanish, we are going to have to live with it for a long time now and yet no one is enforcing masks wearing properly, even those in power don't really wear them, why is that? The real behaviours that work is washing hands, face etc and social distancing, but people forget this when then have a mask as they think that solves it all when it doesn't. The only sure way you will have of not catching it, is to stay in your house and never leave for the rest of your life, never receive packages, food deliveries etc and become a hermit.
