No. I would say I selectively choose where I get my information from based on properly vetting the person and organization giving me the information. And I would certainly not believe some QAnon bot troll w/ zero credibility, who posted a video by someone no one knows the name of or what affiliation they have.

If my name was Mel B and I had a Twitter account that posted a video you liked would you automatically believe it?

How many times has Fauci either changed his mind or was flat out wrong?

Yet, surgeons and nurses have been wearing masks in surgery for over a century with no ill effects. And they’ve worked well to limit pathogen spread all this time.

Everybody is wearing them.

I understand what you're saying. I take what Fauci says with a grain of salt. Just because someone is a scientist or doctor doesn't make them 100% correct all the time. In somewhat of a defense of Fauci and other medical professionals, COVID is much different than anything we've seen before. Its transmits differently, it has a longer incubation period, etc. This is only a few months old. It usually takes years to figure something like this out. He's giving advice based on what is known at the time.

That said, he does not take the economy or people's mental health into account when making recommendations. You can't keep the entire economy shut down for months at a time...COVID or not. People need to get out of the house for their own sanity. Kids have to go to school for their parents' sanity.

This anti-mask stuff is BS though. It helps. It helps prevent the spread. That is proven. Get out of the house. Go to work. But wear a mask...when you are in proximity of other people. If you're walking down the street, playing golf, running and no one is around you don't need a mask. If you are working in close proximity to people, or in a crowded restaurant...wear a mask. I wear a mask where NY or an establishment tells me to, and I'm probably wearing a mask 10 mins a day. Its not that big a deal. You are preventing other people from getting sick. That limits the exposure to others, the economy, etc. Then once things are under control, we can all stop wearing masks.

And when does the mask requirement end? Because viruses will NEVER end. How many are already saying "adopt the NEW NORM"???? F**K that ****.

And how come the government can dictate a mask for MY OWN PERSONAL BODY AND IMMUNITY, but they won't stop a woman from aborting a baby?

I don’t know of anyone saying anything about a new norm. Think that’s fake news. Everyone I know wants to take them off as soon as is reasonable.

And the government isn’t dictating this for you...they are dictating it, because they don’t want you infecting others.

Nothing works better than a healthy immune system. Eat well, take multi vitamin supplements like iodine, zinc, and ascorbic acid....exercise, wash your hands, and use a good hand sanitizer that kills surface bacteria and you have an almost 99% chance of not only avoiding the virus, but surviving it if you are exposed.

Masks are worthless unless you are around infected people in a close proximity or closed environment. Otherwise they're a waste of money.

Watch a commercial every now and then. Listen to the news every now and then.

I’m just amazed how people go apeshit over wearing a mask. It’s just a mask. I just spent a couple hours at a craft beer place, everyone wearing masks walking in and around the place and take off when you sit. No problem. Because it isn’t a problem.

I’m amazed at how many people go apeshit about people that don’t wear a mask.

I got mask shamed last week for wearing a mask inside a business I was delivering UPS packages to. And the women there shaming me for wearing the mask were definitely in the age group that should be worried about contracting the virus. Go figure. Anyway, wear a mask don’t wear a mask it’s a personal decision. I don’t believe in shaming either side.

I believe in God, Trump, and my family and friends. I believe it is going to rain heavily here today. I believe the cleaning ladies just arrived to tidy up my home. I believe I'll edge my yard then hit the gym this morning. Have a nice day sir and stay safe.
You lost me at believe in Trump. At least you rescue dogs so you have that going for you.

Another butthurt libtard
Your boy will be "butthurt" in 2021 when he starts serving prison time for his crimes. I'm sure you'll visit him often and give him oral satisfaction like you currently do.

I've just spent the entire virus season without wearing a mask. Because it wasn't a problem.

I don’t watch commercials and I do pay attention to the news.

Haven’t seem much of it. Not sure if you pick a side of the fence, but it may depend on the bubble you may be in. I guess I’m in one based on what’s said here, I don’t see it.

Regarding masks, who is them?
