I overheard this conversation today and made me laugh. Mask user: You there! Where’s you mask? Teenager: I am scared to wear one in case I can’t breath.
Mask user: Don’t be stupid. Of course you can breath with the mask on. Fucking idiot. Teenager: So you can breath when the mask is really tight round your mouth?
Mask user: That’s right. No problem. Teenager: Then if the air can get through, how is the mask supposed to stop a virus?
After a few seconds while the mask user contemplates this response the teenager follows up: who’s the fucking idiot now then? And casually walks off ????
Yea, but the usual brainlet response is "the mask doesn't protect you, it protects others cuz muh water droplets."
a. It doesn't protect others if I DON'T HAVE THE VIRUS
b. It doesn't know or care which direction viruses are traveling
c. It doesn't only stop FAST-moving viruses coming from me, and not SLOW-moving ones coming from others or floating in the air
It stops no transmission of any disease, even if I had one
There’s also not a single instance of an asymptomatic person transferring the faux virus to anyone else.
That's right
I even made that point in bold caps somewhere yesterday
Kek
but even thats not true
Truth? Lmao.
"What can you do, thought Winston, against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?"
-George Orwell, 1984
If you use a fishing net will you capture tadpoles or tiny fish that are much smaller than the holes of the net? What do you think a mask is?
Their argument is that masks change the physics of the airflow from your mouth. In doing so, they claim the mask stops the trajectory of large water particles carrying the virus, thereby supposedly reducing risk of those particles making contact with another individual. They cite air-flow models as their sources.
They're retarded, basically. "Science", or the medical-industrial complex (fair terminology?), is their religion.
A chain link fence used to dam a river will also redirect the water flow...
Also, respiratory viruses such as COVID are aersolized and not water droplets. But yeah, they just keep throwing out lie until they can get one to stick.
They aren't really wrong though. It's just that the mask only works for those large droplets. And those only happen with a sneeze or a cough. A mask is really no better than putting you hands over your mouth and nose when you cough and sneeze. Only sick people should be wearing them.
When sick people wear face diapers, they are further compromising their immune systems WHICH they need to get over whatever sickness they're experiencing. A sick body gets sicker with lowered oxygen intake coupled with increased CO2 intake.
I prefer medical mafia.
