I have not said that I believe that all masking is a joke, at all. I have agreed that it makes no sense to have the coaches wear masks if they are going to take them off when they talk and it is ridiculous that the players are spread out on the sidelines since once they are in the game they are sweating and breathing hard all over each other. But Datt's point, which is a fair one, is that it is not just us poor libs who believe in the importance of masking. That is an internationally held belief. . So I think it is fair to ask why is that and it is also fair to point out that the places where Mac mostly but you most recently have gone on the internet to support your claims are biased and uninformed or run by conspiracy theorists.
This is a blatant misrepresentation of what I’ve said from pretty much day one. Let me repeat it for the millionth time.
If you have a n95, form fitted to your specific face. Worn correctly, ONE SINGLE TIME, yes they can be effective.
That is not what is happening world wide. It will never happen. Datt even tried to say we spend however many billions of dollars on n95 production instead of military (I think that’s what he said but could be corrected). Whatever it was, the amount of masks we would need would have to be in the billions, conservatively, and each would have to be form fitted to your face.
And to add further, the cloth masks you and I are forced to use, they do little to nothing. I always use the analogy, it’s like putting up a chain link fence to keep bugs out.
So again, let me repeat for those in the back that want to twist and turn everything. 1. Those cloth masks that we keep in our glove compartments, that we reuse without washing, that we spend all day pulling up and down our faces, they do more harm than good. So the coaches wearing them (while vaccinated) is comic theatre. 2. Whatever that post was with the Holocaust denier, I have no clue who he is btw. I also said anyone denying the Holocaust is an idiot. Same with 9/11 truthers. But he didn’t do the studies. He just aggregated 15 or so of them that were done over the last 50 or so years from medical facilities and hospitals saying the efficacy of cloth masks are very low or not at all in preventing viral transmission. So hate the source, not the studies. Pretty logical.
I cannot be more clear on this.
