That "masks don't work" study you saw everywhere recently was dead wrong

[Grizzly]

I haven’t been sick in years, even before the pandemic, but I started being lax with wearing mine and I caught COVID for the first time this year shyt started out as just a minor inconvenience like someone else said but the constant coughing and spitting up mucus whooped by ass around Day 5. You really can’t do shyt besides eat, rest, and wait it out. I don’t have the vaccine. Don’t think I could’ve got through that without NAC though (which I stocked up on). Zyrtec surprisingly helped. Red Reishi mushroom extract helped me to get a good sleep and it’s great for the immune system, in general. After that, I’m back to wearing my mask everywhere.

I know they worked just from personal use. i didn't catch so much as a cold the entire time covid panic was going on. not even the seasonal flu and cold type stuff.
Only 2 years i stayed masked up happened to be the only two years in my life i didn't log a sick day. can't have been coincidence

Same. From 2020 to 2022 when I working from home, I was not sick once. Went back to the office in January 2022, caught Covid in March.

SMH. Gotta get my booster though, it's been too long since my last one and these cacs coughing again at work

One thing about old people is, folks act like they dont matter until they become the old people.

Hopefully you live long enough to remember that.

Seriously.

I'm grateful that if my grandma had to pass, that god made sure she passed in 2018. She was 86 and got to be around all her family during her last days. Had a normal funeral that everybody could come to. Had she made it two more years, she would've been like all those other older people who had to die alone in the hospital, and with no funeral.

"Getting sick" is your body detoxing when overloaded, and trying to return to homeostasis.

Toxins, stress, and lack of nutrition causes sickness.

Not microscopic cooties.



"Getting sick" is actually your body getting well (detoxing).

Which can be done proactively to prevent getting sick.

Masks alone don't work to prevent illness.

But the BELIEF that "wearing a mask prevents illness' -- actually does (a little).



You'll get a slight "placebo effect", which IS proven science.

 

[Bugzbunny129]

I stay with a mask on in this camera ridden world. Idk how that aint a plus itself

 

[Methodical]

From 2020 - 2023,

I still wearing Mask on some Kakashi shyt.

Wrong.

 

[King Eros]

Wrong.

Enjoy your ignorance based fear, and don't forget your monthly booster.

One of my clients from last month is in the hospital on a respirator with COVID-19 right now. I had to get tested for exposure. I wear a mask. They work.

COVID is not over.

If you don't want to wear one, that's your prerogative. I'd rather not tempt fate and will follow the science while using common sense.​

What do you mean breh? The vax has been out for two whole ass years.

You said it yourself.

Current COVID vaccines protect against death and hospitalisation, but do not prevent infection well due to waning vaccine immunity and substantial immune escape from new variants.

That's the part that matters.

We had to deal with lockdowns, masks, and all that stuff in 2020 because there were no vaccines. Now that we got them, Covid is a minor inconvenience for the most part.
Covid as a dangerous pandemic has been over.

 

[Problematic Pat]

So it's fearmongering when we talk about an actual disease that's killed millions of people, but it's normal behavior when you post fearmongering conspiracies about vaccines causing heart stoppage for a football player whose chest caved in on a tackle? You were posting right-wing conspiracy Twitter claiming that Damar Hamlin went down due to the vaccine and you run interference for Trump at every opportunity.

You're one of those idiots who tried to push the "Black people don't get Covid like that" shyt at the beginning of the pandemic too, when they ended up getting it at rates far worse than White or Asian folk.

If you played football you'd know that players catch helmets to the chest on both sides of the ball and have been hurt by it but their hearts never stopped. It's a penalty when you're a defender trying to make a tackle and you lead with you helmet.
Why did he refuse to answer when asked why his heart stopped if it was just a hit from a helmet???


Show me where I run interference for Trump at every opportunity??

The fearmongering news said Black people would be dying left and right in Africa but the conversation from Africans all over the continent was about everything except for how much Covid was supposedly killing them. Don't know any Black people who died from covid personally and those weren't conversations being had by other Black people around me and I live in a Black ass city.

You missed the part where I said he was an anti-vaxxer.​

It isn't over according to the data. That's why he caught it and there are almost 3 million cases in my State. Since immunity wanes (something else I said that you DIDN'T highlight, but is important) and a lot of people chose not to get vaccinated or boosted, we're still dealing with it and it's still dangerous.​

 

[Greenhornet]

you just gotta let people cook

of course wearing a mask helps

does underwear help you not get shyt stains on your pants?

that doesnt mean you still aint gonna brown them bad boys up
but the purpose is served

I played linebacker in college. Thought you had one there?

Commotio cordis - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Commotio cordis (Latin, "agitation or disruption of the heart") is a rare disruption of heart rhythm that occurs as a result of a blow to the area directly over the heart (the precordial region) at a critical instant during the cycle of a heartbeat,[1] 97% fatal if not treated within three minutes.[2] This sudden rise in intracavitary pressure leads to disruption of normal heart electrical activity, followed instantly by ventricular fibrillation, complete disorganization of the heart's pumping function, and cardiac arrest. It is not caused by mechanical damage to the heart muscle or surrounding organs and is not the result of heart disease.

Its incidence in the United States is fewer than 20 cases per year, often occurring in boys participating in sports, most commonly in baseball when a ball strikes a player in the chest.

Commotio cordis can occur only upon impact within a narrow window of about 40 milliseconds in the cardiac electrical cycle, explaining why it is so rare.

The hit has to come on the exact right timing of the beat to cause a heart stoppage. And this has happened many times before in football as well as in baseball (from HBP), it just hadn't happened in an NFL game.

The the fukk does it have to do with a Covid vaccine? You don't even know whether he was vaccinated, you don't even know the MECHANISM that a vaccine could possibly cause a heart stoppage in that situation. For all you know he caught Covid and the Covid virus did damage to his heart, but you're pushing fearmongering conspiracies about vaccines from a place of total ignorance.

The fearmongering news said Black people would be dying left and right in Africa but the conversation from Africans all over the continent was about everything except for how much Covid was supposedly killing them. Don't know any Black people who died from covid personally and those weren't conversations being had by other Black people around me and I live in a Black ass city.

No, the news did not say that. There was a point when people didn't know what would happen in Africa, but thankfully like most respiratory viruses it primarily hit cool-weather countries. Yet in places where Black people live in cool weather countries they got hit FAR worse than white or asian people did.

Black life expectancy dropped FOUR YEARS between 2019 and 2021, yet you're still trying to push this idiotic "it's not a black issue" bullshyt.

Here's Why Black Life Expectancy Dropped This Year

Just when the United States started to close the gap between life expectancy rates amongst races, Covid-19 wrecked the chance.

U.S. Life Expectancy Plunged in 2020, Especially for Black and Hispanic Americans (Published 2021)

The 18-month drop, the steepest decline since World War II, was fueled by the coronavirus pandemic.

The reasons for the disparity are complex, mainly related to health and inequality, and disinformation too.

If COVID-19 Doesn’t Discriminate, Then Why Are Black People Dying at Higher Rates? | ACLU

To provide meaningful protection and support for all members of the community, a COVID-19 response must address the pervasive racial injustices at the federal, state, and local level.

As usual, you were speaking out of ignorance. Just total ignorance.

Show me where I run interference for Trump at every opportunity??

like here?

Trump ain't doing shyt to hurt Black people collectively. Crime bill Biden done did enough damage to our community. Real white supremacists hide in plain sight.

Get these fukk nikkaz out of office. No one cares about marching in Selma. Speaking of Selma that city is trash and neglected but Democrats like to ignore that. Trump pulled his hoe card on a international scale.

Trump making the left look horrible. Y'all motherfukkaz gonna make him go down in the history books like he was the goat

1.Won the presidential election.
2.Beat a collusion bullshyt ass witch hunt by salty ass establishment Dems.
3.Recently made his impeachment a non issue.
4. Currently has a 55% approval rating over this Coronavirus handling.
Majority of Americans now say they approve of Trump's handling of coronavirus: poll
5. Once those checks hit those mailboxes Americans short memory gonna kick in and we will be in the middle of whatever fukkery 2020 has up it's sleeve( I'm going with aliens and not the illegal variety.) right before the election.

Trump says racist things Biden has actually made his racist words a reality that Black people are still suffering from till this day.

Yeah at least we 100% for sure know ain't no forced faggatry laws going down under his watch. What exactly is a Jim Crow Joe presidency gonna accomplish for Black people? This is as fair as this nation that was founded on racism is going to get for Black people. Learn the rules, find like minded Black people who want build wealth and power over begging for scraps and symbolic victories ( Lynching Bill that recently passed ) . Get the fukk off all this social justice warrior bullshyt. African Americans aren't in any position to demand for reparations when they have no real power base. You don't control anything of value in this country. The old civil rights negroes and the ones of today told nikkaz to get jobs and go to school with zero plans.

John Lewis was following cracka ass liberal orders to not fight white people. The non violent strategy had nothing to do with MLK on some Ghandi shyt. Cac liberals would have pulled financial support if they harmed white people literally trying to kill them.

When MLK did speeches in the south he had to call up the Deacons because they were well known amongst white supremacists for being drillers. MLK couldn't even be known to have rolled with any Black people that carried guns. His own bodyguards weren't allowed to carry in fear that the white liberals up north would find out and stop bankrolling him. A lot of you nikkaz are an embarrassment for not even knowing your own history.

Not Trumpet but you fakkit ass liberals really gonna try this bullshyt ass stunt??

"I don't want my kids attending no racial jungle."

"Poor kids can be just as smart as white kids"

"Your not Black if you don't vote for me"

Y'all just don't want anyone to check y'all on y'all's bullshyt so you label them Trump supporters and try to get them banned. That's some hoe ass shyt. If we keeping it a buck YOUR candidate is the real WHITE SUPREMACIST who has actively harmed the Black community worse than any other candidate since Reagan. But since majority of y'all were raised by section 8 hoes and sluts with no masculine influence y'all take your marching orders from white lesbian feminazi Dems to vote blue no matter who.
nikkaz can't even think for themselves but wanna try and dictate shyt on this board.
These nikkaz will literally cry tears of pain and saddness if Trump's goofy ass gets reelected. Grow some fukking nuts and handle your business like real men do.

Trump gonna ether her while dragging dead bodies with him into the closing hours of the general election.

All Trump does is run his mouth. How is his presidency actually hurting you?? I don't give a shyt about either side I'm just curious how different your life would be if Biden or Clinton were president instead of Trumps goofy ass.

Joe Biden wrote legislation that was like a nuclear explosion right at the heart of the Black community. But y'all want to reward him by making him president when he's done nothing to atone for the pure destruction he's caused because Trump said some mean things and hurt your feelings. Male children of the gynocracy don't grow up to be men.

Democrats said Trump telling DuckTales about voter fraud. They should allow a commission to be setup. I mean they didn't do anything illegal.Right?!

Why aren't Black people calling his bluff??
I feel majority of black people just love basking in self pitty and helplessness that the Democrats have placed them in.
Wasn't JFK and LBJ worse than Trump but nikkaz during the civil rights era had no issues trying to convince them of integration and voting rights.....

Trump follows the tax code. dikkheads who've been screaming for his tax returns don't know shyt. If he was paying millions in taxes he'd be an idiot.

All y'all ever talk about is white supremacy.

Trump= He's gonna Usher Black ppl into slavery 2.0

Mid Terms= We need to vote out WS before it kills us all

Summer travel plans= Be careful WS is killing ppl

Going grocery shopping= We scared that WS gonna run up in here and kill us

How are you not embarrassed by that level of caping?
