Some. I never denied that. I simply stated and demonstrated that they aren't effective in preventing infectious diseases like viruses.
Masks at Commonwealth?
- Thread starter The-Hack
- Start date
I think I read where masks are required on UK’s campus. If that is the case and considering the amount of people at the game even though it’s outside, I bet masks are required. And with the probable heat and humidity, that will be a nightmare.
Wearing a mask for COVID-19 protection is like putting up a chain link fence against mosquitoes
You got to be kidding. The CDC and WHO change their protective procedures weekly and Fauci is nothing but a propaganda mouthpiece. Listen I have had both shots and got booster Wednesday. But, I do not believe anything coming out of Washington.
Please be assured I have read and understood more studies than you will ever be able to count.
I had two shots and Covid in January/February. I’m Batman!
There a no winners here in this post, Makes me think of the old saying, “If you argue with an idiot, it’s hard for others to tell who the real idiot is.”
That was a meme so it must be true. That's all I've got for a thread about masks. We've got folks repeating facebook memes as if they're fact.
I heard a minister saying that vaccines are the mark of the Beast and some school administrator in Tennessee (with a German last name, no less) said vaccines were equivalent to the Yellow Stars Nazis made Jews wear.
You can’t make this ish up!!
Anyone arguing against ever wearing a mask at this point is willfully ignoring the advice of 99% of the medical professionals in the world and choosing the medical advice of Facebook and Youtube. It's really not even up for debate at this point.
That said, I'm vaxxed and will not be masking up outside for a four hour football game. I'll take the calculated risk in an outdoor setting.
I will be putting on my mask when I go into the indoor, crowded, hot, damp, nasty azz bathrooms at the stadium. Just seems like a place a mask might just help a little.

IF you don't want to see masks required at football games, then I have an easy solution for you: get vaccinated and start getting other folks vaccinated.
A mask in a stadium bathroom would be a good idea even in non-pandemic times. Would help cover up the small if nothing else!
Anybody who compares wearing a mask or getting a vaccine to what the third reich put Jews and other “undesirables” through instantly loses all credibility for me
I agree, and think that Orwell's 1984 (and Animal Farm works, as well) is a far more appropriate comparison than the Holocaust.
Uh.... That's not where you wear the mask...
We were doing pretty well discussing something controversial. Best to keep the sensational, non facts to a minimum. I have read the studies at the CDC. No one should tout masks as the be-all-end-all and no one should be claiming that they are totally ineffective. Neither position is based on the data. One of the issues not yet discussed concerning masks is our (now) improper handling of masks. We wear them indoors or crowded outdoor situations. Take them off when we exit those conditions and pop them into our pockets to be used some time later. Improper handling of a mask could get you infected also. Yet that is what most of us do, myself included.
Unfortunately half the country apparently doesn’t have that kind of common sense.
They still have trough urinals behind one of the endzones. Forget about covid, N95s should probably be worn in there at all times anyway.
It would help the vaccination case if they would be more transparent concerning the vaccine and its certification. I studied the various vaccines under development and went ahead and got both Pfizer doses. Pushing for mandatory vaccination of something only under emergency approval is a tough sell. You have no legal standing to get help if it isn't formally certified. Be open about the current status of the formal approval process. Don't claim that it is "safe" without acknowledging there are some risks. Be up front and honest about the complications that a small percentage have had with the vaccine. We are used to medicines being advertised with a disclaimer at the end of the ad ("don't take the vaccine if you are allergic to it, some recipients may have one leg grow longer than the other, taking twenty doses of the vaccine to earn airline miles may result in complications resulting in death or a stern talking to by Anthony Fauci whichever is more painful, etc").
You never heard Trump "rallies" called Super spreader events? A ;ot of Drs on this thread, any of yall don't charge co-pays or lab fees?
By referencing Trump rallies, you kind of only added to his point, and probably didn't even realize it. And, yes, of course, those rallies were called super spreader events, over and over.
People used to tailgate all day, using portable toilets (with no way to wash your hands), then go into the games and use the disgusting stadium bathrooms, while swapping sweat with all your neighbors. Now some of those same people want everyone in masks or more.
1) face coverings don't work. Yet another conclusive study that confirmed the obvious: anything less than n95 is worthless.
2) giant events with tens of thousands have germs. Lots of them. There's zero way to avoid that. If you're truly that concerned, just stay home and do what you think keeps you safe. Or come to the game with masks/gloves/hazmat suits or anything you feel you need. Just stop trying to force the rest of us to something just so you feel safer.

Nah...
“Our vaccines are working exceptionally well,” Walensky told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in reference to fully vaccinated people who get breakthrough infections. “They continue to work well for Delta, with regard to severe illness and death – they prevent it. But what they can't do anymore is prevent transmission.”
They got that one wrong, too.
It's amazing people are pushing for masks at games like it's some sort of safety issue while 100,000 partied at Lollapalooza, literally climbing on top of each other, and nobody said a word.
How some are so eager to comply while watching others disregard, particularly the ones who institute the mandates, baffles me.

well, didn't it start with jews having to identify by wearing the star of david?
since everyone strives to maintain your credibility, where do you draw the line.
my 12 year old daughter wears one every day in school. You’ll be ok, I promise.
That is for "fully vaccinated" only and includes the entire population, which includes ineligible children and also includes children from 12 to 17, for whom not taking the vaccine is not necessarily a sign of a lack of common sense. That portion which includes "adults with a first dose", the vast majority of whom will become fully vaccinated within a month from now, if not already, is 73%. Also, I did say ADULTS in my original response to you.
Finally somebody gets it. If you can breathe in and out through your mask then it's a waste of time. People don't realize how small this virus is.
Has any of the studies point out that they have never been able to isolate the 'virus' in a lab setting ? Only on a computer have they shown isolation in theory based on whatever was entered as data to make that conclusion. Computers go by the data that it receives. Garbage in (input) leads to garbage out (output).
Where do you people get this nonsense? https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/lab/grows-virus-cell-culture.html

You simply parrot what bureaucrats and Big Pharma-sponsored corporate media say. Doesn’t matter how many times the elite get exposed not adhering to the BS they want to impose on others, people such as yourself are there to be sheep for the appeasement of a group who doesn’t care one iota about you.
