    So you can't explain it and don't even care to explore the question. Got it. Why are you even here if not to debate?

    it is not possible to have a debate with a cult who denies fact and lies for convenience.

    We know mask work and the flyby Trumpists that question this only do so to troll. I will not bite.

    Hilarious! Who's in a cult?
    If masks work then why are states without a mandate doing as well as states that require them? It's a simple question with a simple answer but you need to be able to reason to participate in the discussion. You are clearly not qualified.
    BTW, you must not be here much if you think I'm a trumpists. Apparently your ability to come to the wrong conclusion knows no bounds.

    Flat Earth is no longer a theory of science; it has long since been falsified.

    Cherry-picked "expert worship" dismissed on sight.

    Nope, that's your issue.

    If masks don't work why don't you present the science that shows this to the CDC?

    They would appreciate it.

    Quick question, how do you think we ELEMINATED, totally, ELIMINATED the flu this past year?

    Trumpists are in a cult of Trump. The worship an orange idol.

    Not unironically, the flat earthers say the exact same thing about any expert that says the earth is not flat.

    Are you saying masks ELEMINATED flu but not covid? FFS, Do you ever think for yourself?

    It's not so much that "masks don't work" it's that masks as worn by common citizens is a terrible protective measure. We simply will not wear them correctly, they simply will not be fitted correctly, they will be re-used, the will not be disposed of properly, they will be made of materials not conducive to stopping a virus. Masks always were a "better than nothing" measure and early on, when there were no immunity, they did do some good. That is not the case anymore. Wearing a mask is nearly useless today, it is not offering society any additional protections. The data from Texas, Florida and Mississippi CLEARLY show this is the case.
    So, keep on trolling. You won't be back here when you realize that you were full of sh** all along.

    Any other logical fallacies you want to offer? You seem to be on a roll.

    Yes I am, along with other protective actions taken by the citizenry.

    You make no sense at all. Why are masks no longer "better than nothin?"


    But I do like your back peddling,
    yes, they are wore terribly.
    This should be addressed.

    Again, I ask, why don't you submit your science to the CDC?

    It would be the patriotic thing to do.

    Think of all the money we could save on the studies if you could just "wing it" for us all instead of the tedious work of science.

    Let's face it, you are talking out of your ass as the expression goes.

    Masks work.

    NYC went from nearly a 25% infection rate to under 2%. In fact, masks are so effective that NYC had a higher incident of Covid infections in the home than among essential workers at the peak.

    Maybe if I posted with teh same arrogance you post with I would reject science, but I am not that kinda' guy. I am a straight logic and reason guy, humble by nature. It's costs us tons of money to have the best health organization in the world. To ignore it is wasteful and foolish. Is that who you are?

    Peace

    I stated a simple fact, it cannot possibly be a logical fallacy.

    It seems you do not know what a logical fallacy is.

    I'm not back peddling at all. Do you need every nuance pointed out to you? Are you really that slow? Masks were better than nothing when you were more likely to be exposed to covid. They provided a modicum of protection. As more people get vaccinated / recover you are increasingly less likely to be exposed in the first place. Again, the infection rates from areas without a mask mandate show this rather clearly. It's not hard and I don't have the motivation to spoon feed you further.

    Yawn, ridiculous ad hominem noted. It's really all you have.



    There were higher incidence of covid in the home? WOW, stop the presses!! You just totally proved your point. LMAO! This is just more evidence that you have not idea what in the f*** you are talking about.


    What do you know about science? Logic isn't your strong suit either.

    It absolutely can when you improperly use it to refute a statement.

    Again, I stated a fact. I am sorry you do not like my fact, but it is what it is.

    You people use the exact same tactic and arguments that flat earthers use.

    But do not worry, I will not compare you to a flat earther because that is forbidden on this forum

    So predictable, this happens to me all the time. I insistently stand resolute with logic and fact beside me and my "debater" becomes flummoxed and has nothing but personal insult to fall back to.

    Peace, I hope you walk away the better for it, even if you could not man up and admit it.

    FFS, look up false equivalence. Then knock it off. It makes you look foolish.

    Says the guy who thinks higher incidence of covid in the home proves mask efficacy. I'm done with you troll.

    My reasoning is neither flawed nor faulty. You cannot even dispute my statemetns.

    You were clearly born without a sense of irony

    What does a higher rate of incidence in unmasked areas as opposed to those wear mask are always worn tend to support?

    I understand your frustration.

    I hope you grow and your posts mature.
