Incorrect...they took shortcuts and were given permission by the govt. to lie.

How do I know this...because the Govt. tried to sue Pfizer over a vaccine that was problematic...and the judge threw the case out.
Judge specifically mentioned that since the govt. gave them permission to lie...they could not sue them...govt. does not have clean hands.

They still don't.

I believe that the masks are a waste. My wife believes the opposite, so you can imagine what I have to deal with. Covid is here to stay, like the common cold and the flu.

As some others have said, masks do help.
But I think how much they help depends on quality, tightness, proximity, and duration of being around people.
If you are around a lot of people for an extended time, your odds of not catching from an infected person goes down even with a tight fitting N95.

But it's funny how we've become mentally done with Covid, even though Covid is not done with us.


I had heard that those common blue masks were not effective against Covid. I tried one when cutting wood and spray painting, and it was like I wasn't wearing any mask at all - whatever that proves. I used the N95 masks.

The masks are used to...calm the herd...give them something to hold on to.

Not stopping much...but all they want is to instill a belief that it does...and folks go along with it...like many other things.

If covid is so contagious why is the test crammed so far the nose it causes the brain bleed. Other covid tests are just rolled inside the nose?

Covid hides within the blood inside the brain. That's why you have to get that brain blood through the nose. I thought that was common knowledge. šŸ˜‹

With each new strain of the Omicron variant, it gets more contagious but less serious. I got Covid again recently and was over any symptoms in three days, although it took ten days to test negative again. Iā€™m also current on all my Covid vaccinations.

It would be curious to know how many of these hospitalizations are from vaccine deniers?

Proper masks do help, but they are not a panacea. They reduce the likelihood of catching and transmitting the illness. I've been wearing a mask since April of the year it came out, before they were 'required'. I ordered N95 masks from China at the end of Feb. Your call.

It's a virus, and is difficult to try to contain. The more it spreads, the more likely are the chances for a mutation. There is a chance that one of these mutations will be more dangerous. I'm old and wobbly, type 2 diabetic and slightly overweight (<200lb), so I'm maybe a little more at risk.

I like the modified Harley motto, "Live Free and Die."

Generally, but with viruses and mutations, it doesn't have to be. There is the potential for a more serious strain.

There is an increased possibility that you can infect your wife.

As a caveat, Chicken Little only has to be right, once.

It is not even possible for a regular cloth mask to stop covid or any virus. It is like a chain link fence keeping mosquitos out. Anyone believing otherwise is simply too stupid to be considered human. It is not even possible.

I always had to laugh at folks driving, alone in their vehicle, wearing a mask.


Because they are going from place to place and see no need to remove it between stops. I heard this from several people who drive with masks on. They get the mask the way they like it, and they leave it there.
