Another example is masking. Anyone who has worn a mask must have noticed that air goes freely around the edges, and it's acknowledged that these viruses are small and carried in aerosols.

My next step there is to wonder how they can possibly work, and therefore what had gone wrong to produce claims that "science" says masks work. Of course when you actually look at the studies and the data, you find that in fact they don't work.
I don't understand why more people are not more curious about how such a plainly ridiculous claim could be proven.
Before Covid, we all knew that bacteria grew magnificently well in warm, moist environments. Them all of a sudden, people were wearing warm, moist, germ infested talismans on their faces for their health.
And I believe masks will be again be required apparel to reduce our "horrible human" CO2 emissions as soon as they get down to business with the 'Run for Your Lives the Sky is Falling' Climate Change profiteering. They were simply cracking open Pandora's box.
Exactly. Then… to require them on a preschooler or elementary child is insane.
Have these wizards of knowledge pushing our mandates never had a child or understand bacteria? Their little noses run constantly, the mask fall off in dirt, restroom, anywhere and back on the face per “mandate”. Common sense must dictate. But it did not.
My elementary and middle schoolers' masks were so DISGUSTING on the inside at the end of the day. I'll never forgive those malignant morons who did this to kids.
That mask thing drives me bonkers - and worse when "doctors" show how simple it is to "just wear a mask - so you protect(?) others". No acknowledgement of all of the air moving around the edges of the mask at all. Saw a video someone posted wearing multiple masks/types of masks outdoors in the winter so you could easily see the water vapor escaping out of the mask. You'd think simple stuff like that would make most people stop and think ... but it doesn't. :/
Ugh, even people who are otherwise very intelligent seem to have bought into it. I think they rationalize it as being a risk mitigation.. theoretically possible but not borne out by any data I have ever seen.
Me too!!! It makes me want to scream when I hear people talking about how you should “just wear one” and not be a “selfish baby” about it. There is no science justifying mask wearing (especially cloth and surgical masks but even untested unfitted N95 masks) to prevent the transmission of respiratory disease in most cases where people are wearing them. And there is reason to believe that the masks cause harm and also potentially increase transmission.
Well, but they are supposed to be in an evidence oriented occupation. There is no more evidence supporting masks than holy water, voodoo dolls, or a charmed amulet. But those are not sciencey enough.
My grandmother wore a garland of onions around her neck to protect her against Spanish Flu. Apparently lots of others did too. People get so full of fear they will try anything.
I judge too. If a so-called medical professional is that ignorant about the data regarding the effectiveness of masks for preventing the transmission of disease, then I judge them to be incompetent and lacking judgment.
Imagine if the vast majority had rejected this practice as the clownish, unscientific absurdity that it is, though. Much of this was allowed to happen precisely because it had the support of so many. Maybe if we'd fostered a little more curiosity about the "science" behind strapping a bacteria laden rag over our breathing holes, the same would've followed for the toxic sludge campaign.
I've told people who want to test the efficacy of the mask to walk down the supermarket aisle that contains all the washer soaps and other similar items. See if they can smell the stuff. When they admit the scent really permeates their little masks, there's the proof. If you can smell it, those molecules carrying the scent have gone right through the mask and are in your nose. I rest my case.

What? I felt like Alice in Wonderland.
It also lowers oxygenation, which also used to be known to be bad. Total 🤡🌍

Yup it was so asinine as a policy. And yet the school teachers and staff followed it like good little tools 😡

Me neither. I want the health department stooges who ordered all of this prosecuted!!
Alice in Wonderland or alternately, the Twilight Zone. I started to seriously wonder about people's brain functions.

Doctors and nurses still wear them. It is the prerogative of the wearer. As long as they dont force others, I dont judge.

I’m sure they have a rabbit foot in their pockets …
That's actually more effective than a cloth mask. The power of the mind comes into play.
Yup I often call the masks their lucky rabbit’s foot.

I'm very judgey and med people need to be called out for the theater. 'Cloth masks don't stop nano-scale virus particles'.
