Lol “a respected science org”
Ken you’re a real douche bag

LOLWUT?
It's the same "respected science org" that your buddies posted "the science was settled" in about masks not working.
That organization says those statements are blatantly false. And called out the paper's author who made a public statement inconsistent with their position AND the position of his own paper.
Scientists have studied me. They have confirmed that I do not wear a mask and likely never will unless requested to do so at a place that I want to go to. This science is settled. I'm not sure what journal it will be in.
Joe, honestly, shut the **** up. You’re so ****ing extra and I’m sure you got beat up as a kid. No one likes you.
You seem angry that your narrative was broken here.
Maybe try some meditation and yoga.
Maybe stop posting and I’ll try meditation and yoga
Oh good, another mask thread. This hasn’t been discussed at all.
Really, who in the hell are you? If you want to believe the right wing BS, feel free, and because of your stance on vaccinations and mask wearing, more republicans have died than democrats, and it isn't even close. Thank trump and his suckers and losers for that.

Was Kenneth referring to cloth masks that grandmas made and we were required to wear?
Because that actually happened, and people still pretend that they actually did something. Even after everything we saw and learned.

As you can see @BGHAWK is very passionate about grandmas homemade mask and their effectiveness.

Who required us to wear cloth masks that grandma made? Also, pic of said grandma???
Pretty sure you’re the only one that ever reads what you link here. Could you tell us?
I have said all along that masks provide some level of protection. Even the cloth ones that grandma makes will reduce your risk.
But certain things have to be done for a mask to work. 1. You actually have to wear the mask when you are around other people. 2. Taking it off while eating next to others will reduce mask effectiveness. 3. You need to use a clean mask daily. 4. You cant touch you mouth and nose unless you wash your hands first. 5. Use good hand hygiene.
One would this these would be implied with wearing a mask, but people are stupid.
Remember the study that pine and all the other anti maskers touted as definitive proof masks don’t work?
Cochrane, says that the way it summarized the review was unclear and imprecise, and that the way some people interpreted it was wrong.
“Many commentators have claimed that a recently updated Cochrane review shows that ‘masks don’t work,’ which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation,” Karla Soares-Weiser, the editor in chief of the Cochrane Library, said in a statement.
“The review examined whether interventions to promote mask wearing help to slow the spread of respiratory viruses,” Soares-Weiser said, adding, “Given the limitations in the primary evidence, the review is not able to address the question of whether mask wearing itself reduces people’s risk of contracting or spreading respiratory viruses.”

That's all they've been telling us.
Not that masks are a panacea which will stomp out the virus.
ALT Title for their work: "Masks only help prevent transmission of respiratory viruses, if people use them"
Sounds like they’re having a hard time nailing down a truly quantitative impact based on the evidence they reviewed.
I have a feeling this will go on forever. I’m glad I don’t worry about it.
Actually they are saying mandates don’t work not that masks don’t work.
The face of his avatar is the most punchable face ever
“Work” is relative. Under the guise of something is better than nothing, wearing a mask might be .01% better than nothing. And if you consider that “working” then sure.
I say stop posting shit like this, that way when the next pandemic hits these morons are among the first to die

Of course If you believed in science we wouldn’t have another pandemic, atleast not for another 100 years or so
For the love of Pete, Ken, if you love them so much, then put one on. It's a free country. Heck, shower with it on for all we care.Opinion | Here’s Why the Science Is Clear That Masks Work

I'm still seeing this anomaly from time to time...masked up, outdoors essentially on an island of unnecessary.
Me too. My solution to this discussion is simple: If you believe masks work (or at least help), wear one. If you believe they don't work, then don't wear them.
I'm seriously starting to doubt you have any STEM degree....just because the last one happened 100 years ago in no means that's the interval they happen. Anyone with a BASIC understanding of logic, much less science, would understand this.
So what exactly does this say about you if this is your understanding of such things?
Says the person who replies to those he disagrees with by name calling. Take your own advice.
Are we sure this isn’t one of our posters?
