Note how neither of these two could answer my questions. I rest my case:

Pro-maskers are in denial of reality - the numbers speak for themselves. I'm sorry if the only information you get is from Fauci and CNN, but the data is pretty clear that masks don't work.

How do you explain the surge in cases over the winter when 80-90% of people in this country have been wearing a mask on a consistent basis since last summer?

If masks work, how do you explain the fact that 40-70% of the country has already had Covid? You are aware that the CDC published a study back in November where they estimated that the number of cases was actually 8X the number of reported cases? Other more recent studies show that the multiple is between 4 and 10 times the reported number of cases.

1. Made up Number. "Consistent Basis"----what does that mean? How do you even attempt to prove that?

2. 40-70% made up number---rest of it is theory and scientific guesses with no facts.

So my question back to you; Why do you feel the need to die on this hill and crusade about something like a mask? I'm guessing you will say an infringement on rights. Guess I'll just run around naked in public since wearing clothes is an infringement on my rights. Lockdowns, I completely understand the "fight" against it. Masks, just effing weird.

Love your irrational fear and paranoia statement. It's not extreme fear or paranoia to wear a mask no matter how much you want it to be.

I think that is how most other Catholics sects describe the Jesuits.

Haha! I think the Jesi’s would smile and offer you a beer.

Really a stupid set of questions. I posted several links showing these precise stats on multiple occasions - from the CDC and NPR. Go back through this thread and see them - or do your own research... The data is out there, you choose to ignore it....

Just what I thought. You ask people to answer your questions, I answered them. I have read those links, still does not make up for the fact that those are theories, not facts.

So again...what does "Consistent Basis" mean? How do you prove that as fact since that is the stance you are taking.

Why do you feel the need to die on this hill and crusade about something like a mask?

You consistently come on here, attack others with different viewpoints from yours, find links that back up your opinions with more opinions and theory and present them as fact.

Here is one of your NPR studies that you referenced...even if this "model" is true which is a stretch because it's a model not fact, the model estimates that about a third have had covid...and describes the CDC model that you try to push off as fact as rudimentary.

Do I think masks are 100% effective, no and I'm not certainly a mask crusader, but if there is even a small chance of mitigating spread, I'll wear a mask where appropriate.

I agree with you. But I’m afraid you have not only wasted your keystrokes, but also every second you spend reading whatever he posts on this topic.

I would say it's hard to say how effective masks are because at one point or another most of us have probably let our guard down to some degree.

Do I in public where it's required, yes. Have I chosen moments where I put myself at risk and not worn a mask like gathering with close friends and family, also yes.
