Clearly there's no medical reason AGAINST wearing a mask, that's never the argument. Masks aren't going to make things worse, obviously. They will definitely reduce infection rates and it's sensible to wear them. However, I don't think there's a particularly compelling reason to encourage everyone to wear masks everywhere they go anymore since transmission has dropped dramatically and remains fairly low. I think the guidance should be, if you're not feeling well, stay home, or wear a mask if you must go out.
you're right, i'm sorry. it's just downplaying a deadly and ongoing virus and dismissing the most effective method of protection against it as not necessary.
Come down from your pedestal for a moment. The world isn’t binary. The most effective method of protection against it would be total self-isolation, but I’m guessing you’re not advocating for that, so I’m going to assume that means you agree that there’s a limit to how far we should go to reduce the spread of the virus. We clearly disagree on where that point is.
I understand it’s uncomfortable having your viewpoints challenged, but you are acting like a petulant child. If you’re going to argue with me, the least you could do is talk about the issue and try to convince me of your viewpoint. I’m very open to changing my views, but the only learning experience I’m currently enjoying is that a good number of the users here are extremely bigoted.
If you genuinely don’t want me to talk to you, you can just block me, or stop replying.
not interested in your condescending "more mature than thou" masturbatory horseshit, people like you have led to the deaths of countless innocents. go jerk off into your own mouth, i don't have time for debate perverts
You have no idea whatsoever about what kind of person I am. You’re literally yelling at a strawman.
Also, I’m not trying to debate. I’m trying to build solidarity across the working class. We should be working together to fight against the elites, not treating eachother like shit.
Take a step back, get some perspective, and stop acting so indignant over nothing.
I’m almost certain we agree on more things than we disagree on, to be honest. For example, I believe that the way that the pandemic was handled by the majority of western nations was an absolute disgrace, basically sacrificing countless vulnerable people on the altar of capitalism, and that withholding the vaccine from third world nations is just absurdly immoral.
I’m sure our opinions differ on a few points, but I think that we will generally agree on the majority of the things that are important.
Anyways, if you have the time, inclination, and energy, I’d really appreciate it if you could help me understand your perspective on this a bit better. I promise I’m not going to “well, actually” or debate bro you, I’m just trying to see broader perspectives a bit better. If you don’t want to for whatever reason, then I understand, and either way I hope you’re doing well and that you have a great day.
this proves you don't understand what you're talking about at all. there was never a compelling reason to stop masking according to the data. period.

that's nice. it's also tantamount to covid denial, so you can just take it and shove it right back up your ass where it came from.
It isn’t even slightly close to COVID denial. You are overreacting, I’m sorry, but that’s the reality.

don't talk to me, you're disgusting.

fine, we can agree on this if nothing else.
