A public service announcement to all the anti-maskers out there.

A public service announcement to all the anti-maskers out there. | To all the anti-masker snowflake types out there that don't want to put on a mask in a place of business:; There is a virus out there called COVID-19.  It is very contagious.  You need to wear a mask.  I know you don't care if anyone else gets it, but the rest of us do. When you go into a place of business and they tell you that you are required to wear a mask, bear in mind this rule applies to everyone, no exceptions. Asking to see the manager or asking to speak to corporate, or whatever Karen bullshit you're gonna try to pull, will not have the desired outcome you're seeking. LET'S GO OVER SOME TYPICAL EXCUSES SHALL WE? "But it's not a law!" In certain areas it is an enforced mandate, and if a business has it as a requirement, your two options are a) put on a mask or b) leave.  There are no other options. "But I have a medical condition!" No, you don't.  If you're fit enough to make a huge case out of not wearing a mask, you're fit enough to breathe through a mask. "But it violates my personal freedom!"/"But it violates the Civil Rights Act!"/"You're discriminating!"  No, the rule applies equally to everyone, even to special little snowflakes like yourself. NOW, TO EXPLAIN HOW THINGS ARE GOING DOWN:; When an employee tells you to put on a mask, the appropriate course of action is, can you guess?  That's right, put on a mask! If you think you're making some kind of stand or political statement by not wearing a mask and then refusing to leave, let me explain. The only statement you're making to everyone around is that you're an idiot.  If someone records it and puts it online, you'll be advertising your idiocy to the entire online community. Businesses have the right to refuse service.  If you are asked to leave and you decide to continue pressing the issue, eventually the authorites will be contacted. You will be hauled away in handcuffs if necessary and risk being charged with trespassing, causing a disturbance, or some other offense.  You will not get any sympathy for your stupidity. NOW ASK YOURSELF: IS IT REALLY WORTH ALL THAT AGGRAVATION? PLEASE, FOR YOUR OWN SAKE AND EVERYONE ELSE'S, JUST PUT ON A MASK. | image tagged in karen,grocery stores be like,black blank,handcuffs,blank white template,anti-mask | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Yeah, I'm pretty sure people that know way more about virology would disagree with you. And by the way, your analogy sucks.

Listen, snowflake, I'm only gonna say this once. As someone with a medical degree, I have knowledge of viruses and experience with masks and their effectiveness. They don't do anything unless you can get a proper fitted mask, don't fidget with it, and dispose of it once used. Surgical masks, cloth masks, and distributed n95 masks don't fully protect yourself against the covid virus. The n95 masks only protect against .3 microns and larger, the covid is .06 -.15 microns. If you need further examples of the ineffectiveness of n95 masks, look at someone who just sanded drywall. Plus most have a "cool air vent" that allows the wearer to expel their own contaminated through that valve. Do they help? Slightly. However, if you watch how people "use" masks, they're pointless. In the hospital, we have to be properly fitted for an n95 mask and clean shaven. There's a landmark study that was just published AND Fraudsci himself published one in the 1980s PROVING that more than half the deaths during the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak died due to "Bacterial Pneumonia caused by wearing masks"! Several prominent SURGEONS just came out saying "We don't wear masks while performing surgery to prevent US getting an infection, it's to prevent bacteria FROM US contaminating the open wound! Viruses are too small to be prevented by wearing a mask! Virologists wear a BIO-SUIT with a CONSTANT FILTERED AIR SUPPLY!!"

Real quickly since you claim to have a degree would a wire mesh mask with a thin layer of silver electroplated on work to help prevent bacterial lung infections ?

Silver, no. Copper, yes

But copper isn't anti bacterial
It would be copper plated with silver

Silver isn't antibacterial. Here, it's a good read

So silver and copper are antibacterial and anti viral, But silver needs moisture
So they would both be suitable

Also, as far as having a medical degree goes, I guess yours might be worth more as toilet paper if you're suggesting that wearing a mask is somehow worse than not wearing one l, as you have done.

Oh, so you don't actually know anything of how viruses really work? How mask filter things and how they don't? Im sorry, your common sense overrides years of medical training right? I'd call you an ameoba, but they have more brain cells than you.

Amoebas are single-celled organisms, they don't have brain cells at all. The paper Fauci co-authored doesn't even mention masks,
but it does mention the deaths were caused by pneumonia bacterial infections following a influenza infection.

Even if it were as you claim, masks basically become petri dishes with the moisture and contaminates that people expell. The perfect breeding ground for infections.

Pre-COVID-19 there are quite a few studies that show masks do not prevent transmission.

From the first citation:
“By the end of June 2020, nearly 90% of the global population lived in regions that had nearly universal mask use, or had laws requiring mask use in some public locations (6), and community mask use was recommended by nearly all major public health bodies.”

Where I live mask wearing in public is mandatory with close to 100% compliance as I can see.
And then fall came and the number of cases went through the roof!

I’m not saying masks do not help in a laboratory setting. Leakage does not seem to be taken into account in any of these tests. But the real world experience shows masks are not an end-all. The case load in spring 2020 when mask usage was not so high was considerably lower than this winter when mask usage was much higher.

Personally I wear a mask in public. I do not believe, however, we will ever know how much masks did or did not work when all this is over.

Vaccines are solution, not masks. And nothing is perfect, but after the vax I’m done 2 weeks later with the face diaper

Clearly you haven't done any research on the efficacy of masks. During the spanish flu (or the 1918 flu for the weak-minded among us) THE VAST MAJORITY of deaths were caused by bacterial pneumonia caused by wearing masks and not the virus itself. Dr Fauci even wrote a paper on it. Don't believe me? do your own research.
1 up, 3y
Actually, the deaths caused by the bacteria Pneumococcus were caused following an infection of the influenza virus which left the respiratory tracts of the infected ill-prepared to fight the subsequent bacterial infection. The paper Fauci co-authored doesn't even mention masks.

I care that the person is wearing the mask, not about whether they think they know more than people who have done the research.

Oh like how you know more?
1 up, 3y
More than the anti-maskers that go into stores, demand to be served despite store policy, and act surprised when things inevitably go south? More than the little Karen and Darren snowflakes that try to make some kind of political stance that NOBODY within a mile radius of their location gives any shits about? More than stubborn fools who have nothing better to do than give a hard time to employees that don't get paid nearly enough to deal with their stupid bullshit?

Yes, apparently I do know more.
