Riddle me this, ImgFlip anti-mask braintrust

Because no one’s made a serious effort to convince us it works. All of the arguments I’ve seen for them are better evidence that they produce brain damage than that they prevent covid. For that matter, the fatality rate for covid is quite low, especially for healthy people not over 60. It’s just not an issue.

Now f—k off.

Have you seen this chart?

Difficult to follow or nah?

Not that facts matter, but this is for when the wearer only uses the mask for a short duration (less than 20 minutes) and uses it only once (not all day for 8-10 hours and over and over again). If used for any longer than that, or used multiple times, the mask becomes saturated with infected droplets and a cough or sneeze is indistinguishable from someone without a mask...so there's that...

You know what else stops a cough? Your hand, and you don’t have to have it on your face all the time. Cool idea, huh?

You’d rather everyone keep their hand over their mouth 100% of the time? Because it’s not just sneezing: the virus escapes into the air from talking and simply breathing.

Man, you’re a dense one ain’t cha.

Then why does your stupid graphic specifically reference coughing?

It illustrates coughing on the right; the left chart doesn’t.

But yes virus particles leak out through talking and breathing too.

Lmk if you need a reference

Come on KF, do you think they'll fall for that? I would guess they don't like the govt telling them what to do. And as you know, or should know, that's not an attitude that's exclusive to conservatives.

How the Gipper might have led on this issue with his characteristic wit.

9 months in and I still haven't worn either...oops. Don't worry, after Nov (just 2 months to go) and the media stops selling fear about it to the public, covid will be a distant memory.

The virus is real, but the hyperbole is not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEDjjl41xHU

190,000+ American deaths later and you’re still trucking with “this is all overblown, it’s a conspiracy to unseat Trump in November?”

You know not every news item needs to be interpreted through the lens of how it impacts your orange guy’s chances of re-election? That’s how Trump thinks, but nothing compels you to think that way.

This is about preventing deaths and getting to where we can fully restart the economy safely.

Man oh man

I don't think it started as a conspiracy to unseat Trump. As much as I despise democrats, I find it hard to believe, 1. that they're quite that evil, and 2. capable of pulling off something like that.

You'd have to have your head buried in the sand to believe the democrats haven't tried since, to use it to get rid of Trump.

I was watching a show yesterday KF, and I won't mention which one it was... hehehe... but they mentioned that a surviving Chinese whistle blower, Dr. / Epidemiologist was going to be on Tucker Carlson's show (which I usually do not watch, not that you asked) so I tuned in, and she just flat out said the virus was manufactured by the CCP, and that she could prove it by the genome. Of course, she worried about becoming "disappeared."

I've had next to zero chance to check the media today, to see if that story has gotten any traction, but I suspect it hasn't or I would have somehow heard something about it. Sorry to be long-winded, but my point is I believe the CCP is evil enough to manufacture the virus, and smart enough to use it as it would seem to have been used, based on what has happened.

So yes, I believe the Chinese Communist Party is more evil than democrats. At least a little bit...

Sigh...liberals missing the point as usual.

First, I do not claim to support Trump, but that doesn't mean that I can't see the full court press by the left to try to unseat him over the last four 4 years. And yes, the loony far left socialist wing of the Democratic party would do ANYTHING to see him lose in November, including using a real virus to create mass hysteria including grossly inflated "Trump Death" numbers. If you watch the video I posted previously, you would see that the real numbers are nowhere near that 190,000+ number you quoted simply because of how they are being counted.

And that's the real point. The LEFT is making life miserable in the US in 2020, by all of this "sky is falling" mentality about COVID perpetuated minute-by-minute in the MSM. This COVID situation is far less severe and deadly than TB was in 2018 with 1.5 Million dead (nearly 10 times even the inflated COVID deaths)...do you remember wearing a mask then? Or the daily death totals and infection rates in the news everyday? Me either...Why is that?

Also, what is the end game here? Zero infections? Zero deaths? It will never happen. If not zero, then how low do the numbers have to be for you to be satisfied that it's now safe to not wear masks, social distance, shelter in place, keep businesses closed, etc.? 600,000 people die every month in the US from a wide variety of things. Are we going to outlaw everything that may cause 1 single death? The fact remains that the survival rate for COVID is on the order of 99.98% for people under the age of 55. You have a better chance of dying crossing the street...

He might have. The big difference, obviously and of course, is that the Gip would have been able to persuade them to wear the mask, with the aforementioned charismatic wit. Nothing personal, but you're not the Gip and I doubt your meme will have any effect.

I believe one of Reagan's famous quotes was something about the worst thing a person could ever hear was that I'm from the govt and I'm here to help. Conservatives don't like the govt telling them what to do. That much I know.

Hey this one got lots of upvotes in politics too! 👏👏👏

Ahh yes, politics TOO, where the mods don't have the integrity, nor the balls to believe in the 1st Amendment, and post anything anti-Biden.

Eyyyy you follow this stream

Do you think the Mods there would take kindly to a bunch of pro-gun control spam?

How about the “conservatives” stream?

There are plenty of right-leaning political streams and guess what, they all have content control too.

I can tell you firsthand because I’ve submitted memes expressing a contrary viewpoint and had them rejected!

The horror!

I can also state that, by far, the most tyrannical Mod I’ve encountered when it comes to unfeaturing crap is the great OlympianProduct.

He has unfeatured literally dozens of my memes on his streams for little to no reason.

But the general principle holds that stream mods have the right to control content to keep streams on-topic. If a political stream has a stated viewpoint, then unfeaturing memes that don’t conform to that viewpoint is fair game.

But we all get free speech in the end because there’s a stream for everyone. And if there isn’t already, you can make one :)
