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

[Braman]

Well, that’s one way to see it.

Another way is, any time you see a highly respected, highly educated, highly invested study done by well established experts, and they publish their finding and then need to “correct a mistake”???? It’s not bc they were wrong. It’s bc they got pressure behind the scenes to change things.

Science is apolitical. Mass messaging and anything Covid related is not

Dont understand how the world works brehs

Yeah, from the rest of the scientists in that field. That's how science works.

See Andrew Wakefield.

Politicians have no say.​

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

It's probably a bad sign for the economy that so many millennials are clearly salivating at the chance to inherit some money from grandma.

Yikes.

Keep in mind we are not just talking about US politics Ie if China was 100% forthcoming from jump this whole thing goes differently. And you say politics has no say? That’s an embarrassingly naive take.

Also, even completely disregarding that, there are plenty of things scientists can disagree on. So you really gotta stop the whole ‘I am spokesperson here to kill any opposition’ schtick, it will not fly on such a fluid topic

Wear a mask if you want to
Don’t wear a mask if you don’t want to.
Get vaccinated if you want to.
Don’t get vaccinated if you don’t want to.

Personally I’m vaccinated but I’m not wearing a mask anymore and I don’t really a give a shyt what anyone does at this point. If you want to stay in your goddamn house for the rest of your life and never interact with humans again then so be it. There’s been more than enough fighting over this for close to three years now and I’m tired of it and while I don’t speak for anyone else I’d imagine the majority are as well. Covid is unfortunately here to stay forever.

Live your life as you see fit.

Total Confirmed Cases: 2,550,542
As of 10 p.m., March 9:
Total hospitalizations: 805
Patients in critical or intensive care: 115
Ventilators in use: 36
Patients discharged: 86
New Lab-Confirmed Deaths: 4

So, yeah, I'm using common sense and am not fear mongering whatsoever.

​

what percentage is 805 hospitalizations, out of 2.5 million cases?

post the decimal, and then ask yourself if worrying about it is rational

 

[Complexion]

Because the masks don't work... They just make you worse... But I know I'll see your face again.

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

China didn't write the article, or correct it.

Politics has NO say.

A better question: What percentage is 2.5 million out of 9,261,699?​

 

[Cereal_Bowl_Assassin]

Doesn't matter..only a few people are really open minded and can admit when they are wrong...

cases are absolutely meaningless, given the fact that that 28 percent, those 2.5 million cases resulted in.... nothing. people getting over a cold. no medical emergency of any kind. you're making my point for me

but i'll post it, since you're embarrassed. 800 hospitalizations out of 2.5 million new cases means that .0003 percent of people with covid went to the hospital

.0003 percent. you posted data that says that IF you catch covid, you have a fukking .0003 percent chance of going to the hospital

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

cases are absolutely meaningless,

Not to those of us who don't want to get infected or pass it to anyone else.

I'm not embarrassed at all since hospitalizations isn't my issue.

Getting infected is.

You can refrain from wearing one if you want.​

.0003 percent chance of going to the hospital. an irrational fear for any human being who gets out of bed every morning
