It’s been almost a year since I’ve worn a mask, how about you?

    l follow my own rules. I have worn masks for years on the job when I have a cold because it’s not the best idea to cough into peoples open wounds during heart surgery, or spread your germs to somebody waiting for a transplant, or spread the germs around a palliative care AIDS unit, it’s only professional, respectful and polite and referred to as Universal precautions. Masks weren’t just invented during the pandemic for you to bitch about. Some cultures use them to prevent the transmission of cold and flu germs. They have been used for years to prevent germ transmission.

    Not just in surgery. With a cold all day long — at work and out in the community.

    I worked all over the hospital, not so now.

    The point is, these days, it's up to any individual if they choose to wear a mask or not. They have their own reasons. It is a health choice that shouldn’t be insulted or mocked especially when the reason is to protect rather than perhaps spread their germs around to others.

    They were concerned about a twindemic in 2020 and 2021 BUT in 2021 — https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/flu-has-disappeared-worldwide-during-the-covid-pandemic1/

    Since the novel coronavirus began its global spread, influenza cases reported to the World Health Organization from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres have dropped to minute levels. The reason, epidemiologists think, is that the public health measures taken to keep the coronavirus from spreading—notably mask wearing and social distancing—also stop the flu. Influenza viruses are transmitted in much the same way as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and they are less effective at jumping from person to person.

    The reason why Fauci (and many others around the world) are concerned about a twindemic is because covid is still widely circulating, with cases increasing again, with some interesting mutations and if people aren’t taking precautions with masks in the winter months, both the flu and covid will be prevalent. It is a real concern for vulnerable people especially the elderly. It is also a concern because health care could once again become over-whelmed. Demonize Fauci all you want, but there is a risk of both happening at the same time.

    Lol..why are big pharmaceuticals still hiding behind Brandon's shield. It's not an emergency anymore. Take down the protective layer and allow class action.

    Let me guess, you wear a triple filter mask while driving alone with windows up, recirculating air and AC on.

    That is an absolute fallacy. This is how a death certificate works, I will try to give an understandable example.

    Let's say you are a fat person with asthma that is 50 years old. You have had asthma since childhood which has been well controlled by inhalers when needed, not ever a condition to cause death, just mild shortness of breathe. You have been fat since your mid-twenties but nothing to cause imminent death because despite your fatness, you eat nutritional meals and exercise regularly. Both these negative health conditions though make one more vulnerable to get severe covid. Let's say you contracted covid and ended up in the hospital with SARS caused by the coronavirus which led to multi-organ failure which led to death. You died directly because you were infected with the coronavirus and it was the underlying health conditions that made you much more vulnerable to developing severe covid.

    On the death death certificate, it would absolutely not mention either asthma or obesity as the cause of death. It would mention coronavirus infection leading to SARS (SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME) leading to multi-organ failure leading to death. SARS is caused by the coronavirus -- SARS-CoV-2 -- not by asthma, not by obesity, not by heart disease, not by diabetes, not by any underlying condition. The underlying conditions predispose a person to developing more severe covid-19. Not always though, it depends on a heck of a lot of other variables as well.

    So your comment is wrong, absolutely wrong. If you were overweight and went to the hospital with a severe Myocardial Infarction and died. They wouldn't write on your death certificate that you died because you were fat, the primary cause of death would be a heart attack and a contributing factor would be because you were overweight. It works like that for every illness, condition, etc one dies of. Your comments about cause of death and covid come from misinformation you constantly read on dodgy lying websites.

    If you were in a car accident and happened to test positive for Covid during admission and then died of massive internal injuries, your death certificate would say the primary cause of death was massive internal injuries caused by a car accident, not covid.

    Stop trying to misinform people about COVID deaths. It's all lies.

    Well, that makes no sense at all. Anybody, Chinese, Japanese, American, British, African can wear a mask. It's not about enjoying them. It's about making a health care choice. People don't get sweaty wearing a mask, because there is enough air-flow through them. Coughing into them is the point -- oh duh. I don't know many people that actually 'slobber' maybe you do, but breathe contains moisture so after a while a mask change is needed. However, most don't wear them that long inside anyways.

    I don't understand why you are so against keeping vulnerable people safe from illness. It's very perplexing. Is it just a political, I hate Fauci telling me what to do kind of thing, or do you actually do not care about other people?

    Wearing a mask is a choice, so is wearing a seatbelt, not speeding, not running red lights. For each one of these things, whether you choose to not wear a mask, not wear a seatbelt, not speed, not run a red light, there are ramifications from merely making somebody else ill to perhaps causing their death, to being killed yourself in an accident, to killing others, to getting a fine, and to ending up in jail. Whatever the punishment is or the consequences are, the government has made suggestions and rules.

    Do you call people who choose to buckle up, choose not to speed and run red lights 'sheeple' as well. Do you insult them for those choices? Do you vilify the people that make the rules and laws which are basically in place so people don't hurt each other? Or is just a special hate you have for masks and the evil Fauci? You really should think through what you say and consider others before you make your statement du jour of misinformation. Like I said, people can choose whatever they want to do in any given situation, and there are consequences to self and others for any given choice.

    Like virtually every faux "science" post you've made about CV19, this is just another pointless and factless claim.

    I would like to add that too much cleanliness and filtration will weaken our immune systems.

    Well if you are a rancher you have been exposed to everything! Nothing like the wind blowing dried chicken crap in your face to start your day.
    BUT not everyone has such a strong immune system.

    See, I don't blame people like you for spreading lies and misinformation because of social media allowing people to do such thing. Here's an advice, start asking questions instead of believing what YOUR party tell you or what you see on Twitter and Facebook. FraudXi has an agenda and that is raking in more money than he can ever imagined. Pharmaceuticals behind the snake oil vaccines have the same motive. Biden was told by pharmaceuticals to say the infamous winter of death and the pandemic of the unvaccinated comments to place fear among Americans. I suggest you start the path to enlightenment.

    By the way, I am still seeing a bunch of mask Kens and Karens on public transit fearing a virus that has far less potency than the common flu. Sheesh.

    Oh I see now. Anybody who dies of covid really dies of other underlying conditions. Anybody who dies of a cardiac arrest in their sleep died because they got covid vaccinations and wore a mask.

    No, the truth is those who have covid written on their death certificates died due to the complications of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and not directly from the underlying conditions that made them vulnerable to developing more severe covid.

    Shall I spell it out again to you?

    The truth is those who have covid written on their death certificates died due to the complications of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and not directly from the underlying conditions that made them vulnerable to developing more severe covid.

    Masks do not contribute to cardiac arrest during sleep or at any other time.


    Stating that anybody died of cardiac arrest just because they received covid vaccinations is likely more related to lack of knowledge rather than the vaccine actually causing a cardiac arrest.

    Here are some true facts based on research:
    https://www.bhf.org.uk/informations...nd-myocarditis-should-you-be-worried#Heading1


    Cases of myocarditis following the vaccine have usually been mild, and those affected have usually quickly felt better with rest and simple treatments. In most cases of myocarditis, heart function returns to normal.
    It's also worth noting that Covid-19 itself is much more likely to cause myocarditis than the vaccine is, and people who are vaccinated have a much lower risk of getting other serious complications caused by Covid-19.

    The risk of getting myocarditis or pericarditis after the vaccine is very low.
    Even in the highest-risk age group (18-29), there were just 29 cases of suspected myocarditis or pericarditis for every million second doses of the Pfizer vaccine given in the UK (up until 30 March 2022). The risk is even lower following a Pfizer booster, with just 16 cases per million people in this age group.
    For Moderna, there were 70 cases of suspected myocarditis or pericarditis for every million second doses given in the UK, in this age group. As with the Pfizer vaccine, the risk is much lower after a booster, with just 19 reports per million boosters given (up until 30 March 2022).
    In other age groups the risk is even lower.
    Serious cases of myocarditis after the vaccine so far have been exceptionally rare, although more research is being carried out in to the long-term effects.


    There is no evidence that people are at risk of cardiac arrest in the days or weeks following the vaccine.

    Sweet! You shouldn't be getting any COVID or flu this Winter then. No need to worry!

    Why wear one at all? Don't your jabs work? This is what a forum friend of mine calls "Paradox V"... And if you can just wear a mask and protect yourself, then why bother with the jabs?

    Why is it that the anti vax people have no idea how vaccines work? If you're going to be against something you should have some idea why.

    My old lady now breathes entirely through a hole in her throat.

    But I bet some of these idiotic masks Nazis would still insist that she wears a mask.

    Hence why he is still clinging to his jabs and his masks, even though he knows deep down that neither one of them works.
