COVID is a scam

I don't wear a mask because I have a medical condition....I have severe asthma that makes breathing in one very difficult for me. I also have PTSD from a traumatic childhood incident. I'm anti mask for myself for those reasons. To all of you saying anti-maskers should infect each other or saying that anti maskers should end up on ventilators; when you assume you make an ass out of u and me, as the saying goes....don't lump me in with one asshole on the internet spewing invectives. Actually take the time to learn why someone won't wear a mask before belting out your arrogant unsolicited moral grandstanding!
Second, the arrogance and stupidity from ALL OF YOU (that includes JustYourAverageJoe as well) is frankly mindboggling. Several of you have said he should die or its okay to shoot him on sight. What are you, 10 year old children? You should have done the adult thing from go and either ignored him or blocked his pathetic ass! Good Lord, act like the adults you claim to be! You are not going to change his mind, nor is he going to change yours. Accept that and move on!

yes it is a scam now

this is a very disrespectful post

The sheeple love fear and don't want that recognized so they must insult you.

just remember it is your right not to wear one, but it is also the store owners right not to let you in his establishment without one.. so don't bitch when that happens

I will be wearing a mask in public places, I am not sure how being considerate to others for the common good is being mocked

I'm educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus.

No, I don't "live in fear" of the virus; I just want to be part of the solution, not the problem.

I don't feel like the "government controls me". I feel like I'm an adult contributing to the security in our society.

If we could all live with the consideration of others in mind, the whole world would be a much better place (not just about masks)

Wearing a mask doesn't make me weak, scared, stupid or even "controlled". It makes me caring and responsible.

A "scam". A "hoax".

Errr.

Really?

One agreed and perpetrated by virtually all governments of the world acting in a rare burst of co-operation and planning far beyond anything they can muster for anything constructive? Not just a few governments normally in cahoots anyway; but governments Left, Right and centrist-coalition, secular and theocratic, democratic and totalitarian, large and small, rich and poor, independent or in a political bloc, friends and enemies?

The "scam / hoax" of millions of sufferers and a huge death-toll world-wide from a disease new to humans and proving much more complex and difficult to manage than some form of influenza?

A "scam / hoax" causing vast damage to practically all nations' economies and public services?

A "scam / hoax" causing considerable disruption worldwide to everyone's work, private, social, religious, cultural lives?


So, do please explain objectively, without recourse to party-politics, the results of your research - What is the purpose of this scam or hoax? Who initiated it and succeeded in making so many oft-fractious governments agree to it? For whose benefit?

Oh, and by the way... face-coverings are not primarily to protect the wearer, but others from the wearer; though I grant you apparently think others do not matter.

Timcast is the link you're using as a valid source for your raging temper tantrum here? You people are tiresome.

Do whatever you want to do, as you've always done.

This has nothing to do with anyone giving up their freedom. It's people like you who have chosen to turn this virus into a political football.

Stop verbally abusing & vilifying people who choose to actively attempt to protect themselves, their families, friends, & neighbors from contracting a virus. Stay as far away from others who choose to wear a mask. When you make the decision to stand too close to someone wearing a mask or get into an argument with them, YOU ARE THE ONE INFRINGING ON THE RIGHTS & FREEDOM OF OTHERS.

If private businesses ask you to wear a mask, you have the choice to not shop there. If your town has decided to mandate masks, move. You always have choices. Stop acting like a selfish child stomping his feet because he can't get his way.

you are a scam.

I won't go so far to say that the virus is fake, it exists, but they have inflated the number of deaths, how come so many people are now turning up positive with no or extremely mild symptoms? They have also downplayed the effectiveness of treatments. Even if recent treatments didn't work in all cases, they suppressed reports of their success for their political agenda.

It's really astonishing how you took a non-political issue, something the entire world does not see as a political issue, and then turned it into a political issue with this post, and then turned it into an argument to support your political bias.

You should really change your username

What's common on this thread is the OP and those who agree with him, attract mainly just abuse.

Many of us, including me, consider the "scam" accusation as plainly wrong and not standing up to simple logic and the daily news from around the world, and I wonder if some of the accusers do so wilfully rather than from genuine incomprehension.

Nevertheless, we ought recognise that there are people who believe the pandemic does not exist, are some seem to be sincere not just forum-stirrers; so more importantly than knowing they believe it, might be understanding why they do.

I could suggest one or two motives - but not here for the sake of objectivity, and I would be right for some but not others.

Mere sneering by either side at the other, won't work. That is childish, ill-mannered and futile; only deepening division.

SO....

- I accept the pandemic is all too horribly real, just as the 1918 Influenza and the Mediaeval to 17C Bubonic Plague, pandemics were horribly real.

- I also accept that some people think the present SARS-Covid19 pandemic (and those past plagues?) is organised, elaborate fiction; . What I do not understand though, is why they think so.

For the denial side of the bargain, I do not mean simply padding the belief with further beliefs, misused statistics, etc., because that does not explain the motive, and the supporting beliefs are probably individual. I mean instead, the motive for disseminating simply the denial belief as a whole.

Oh no, not my freeeeeeeeeeeeeeedumb

I don't exactly think COVID is a SCAM. I think the virus exists. I DO think they have counted people that died WITH positive tests for virus but the virus had NOTHING to do with why they died, not EVEN the virus adding to current conditions that caused some people to die. This did happen SOMETIMES, but I think they have been counting some deaths as COVID deaths when COVID had ZERO to do with why they died.

I do think evil forces in power have weaponized the pandemic to use it against us. While some people DID because of the virus they are doing everything they can to spin things to make it look worse than it really is.

Don't forget to let us know where to send the flowers.

If I were you I would go to a crowded bar someplace and have your own pro Trump Rally....Please.😷

If you want to live "free" without regulations that protect other people's health and inconvenient you, move to the jungle and live alone.

Making reasonable compromises is natural part of enjoying the benefits of living in a society.

Wearing a fabric mask isn't safe for everyone. I know of people that have gotten a bacterial infection from wearing fabric masks even if they washed them after every use they still got a bacterial infection. I have seen several people that have passed out from wearing fabric masks. I don't wear fabric masks anymore because my oxygen level drops to very low, so when needed I wear surgical masks only but I don't wear them while driving or walking around outside only in most public buildings.

You said all we need to know. I don't care. I really truly do not care. It's unfortunate that there are so many people like you that will give up your rights and just not care. So many people that don't understand a vote for Trump is a vote to take your constitutional rights away.

That's cool. You be you, and I'll be me. I'll continue to wear a mask to protect you from exposure in the event that I'm sick. That's me giving up my freedom to protect you, as a service to you. Thanks would be nice, but I really expect nothing but insults from anyone anymore.

But you do you trumpy.

It is real, the numbers are not

I’m gonna drive on the left side of the street.

Because mah rights.

I’m gonna walk naked to work.

Because mah rights.

I’m gonna smoke ALL the weed and do ALL the coke.

Because mah rights.

I’m gonna play loud music at night.

Because mah rights.

I’m gonna randomly interrupt conversations in public places between people I don’t know.

Because mah rights.


Hint: you’re a dumbass.

It will be interesting to see if you change your mind when your on a ventilator with it.

If there were buried stats, that is bad regardless of the letter after the politician's name, right?

However, the YouTube poster claims that Covid-19 is almost gone...I guess he is not keeping up with current statistics. We have had WAY more than our share of cases and deaths, because we should have had a national shutdown, then reopening guidelines for everyone which were based on testing & tracing (which, like enough PPE, we STILL do NOT have, which is unbelievable for a country as great as ours and with the manufacturing capacity, workers, brains that we have).

No one really cares if YOU wear one, as long as you stay far away from them. Sadly though, your kind of attitude endangers others, unless you stay away from public places...all alone in your bitterness.

Obviously you are someone who cares only for themselves, and won't lift a finger to help anyone else out. In other words, a Trump cultist of very low IQ.

justyouraveragejoe covid is a scam really so all these people being infected and dying is not happening. then yes you are defending your democratic right not to wear a mask against a scam you think is not happening .i cannot believe an intelligent person could really be so blind and ignorant

we have a responsibility to protect our fellow human beings from getting infected
why take chances? WHAT IF!
don't be selfish people!

Herman Cain

Anyone who still thinks COVID-19 is a scam by this point is crazy as hell 🤷🏾‍♂️.

and honestly I really don't think anyone cares if you do or not. it's your life.

There are more risks to a country from home grown dissent and disenfranchised citizens than from a virus or 'external' terrorism.

I also think super gonorrhea is a scam which is why I dont wear condoms. Now bend ♥️

Life is meant to be lived, not wasted cowering in fear.

In other words you don't give a fuck about the safety of others

Well there sure enough sanctimonious holier than thou preachers here to tell you how it should be done. *smh*

What freedom are you giving up?
The freedom to care about the people around you?

People who think COVID is a scam are scams! But seriously they are very stupid people. People who fail to pay attention, people who fail to understand evidence, people who have their heads firmly up their own ass!
You do pretty much confirm that with your expansion of your ignorant views about these mythical lefts you bang on about.
