PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Comments from this thread are known to the State of California to cause serial masturbation in isolated cases.

I have not seen any concrete studies to confirm your claim. HOWEVER, common sense says that Covid isolation and free Pornhub access is proof enough for me.

Huh? Once the virus is contracted and survived..... NATURAL IMMUNITY is a scientific fact.

You're good to go bro.... reconsider any additional boosters.

I’ve had it multiple times, that’s a fact. I’m not the least bit worried about it. Even the first time when it was kinda rough. Suck it up, I was fine. I wish it was so easy for some others.

I got the first 2 shots, then went about my life. But to be clear, the second time (that I know of) was mild, but it DID happen.

Weird how this study (below) turned into a conversation about people's personal vax decisions....

Weird how some people still don't know who Nature is.....

Really weird how the same people who have been wrong on nearly everything on this thread, who continue to double-down on stupid, are the same ones that continue to try their best to suppress counter-narrative studies, data, ideas and discussion.



Titanium dioxide particles frequently present in face masks intended for general use require regulatory control

Although titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a suspected human carcinogen when inhaled, fiber-grade TiO2 (nano)particles were demonstrated in synthetic textile fibers of face masks intended for the general public. STEM-EDX analysis on sections of a variety of single use and reusable face masks visualized agglomerated near-spherical TiO2 particles in non-woven fabrics, polyester, polyamide and bi-component fibers. Median sizes of constituent particles ranged from 89 to 184 nm, implying an important fraction of nano-sized particles (< 100 nm). The total TiO2 mass determined by ICP-OES ranged from 791 to 152,345 µg per mask. The estimated TiO2 mass at the fiber surface ranged from 17 to 4394 µg, and systematically exceeded the acceptable exposure level to TiO2 by inhalation (3.6 µg), determined based on a scenario where face masks are worn intensively. No assumptions were made about the likelihood of the release of TiO2 particles itself, since direct measurement of release and inhalation uptake when face masks are worn could not be assessed. The importance of wearing face masks against COVID-19 is unquestionable. Even so, these results urge for in depth research of (nano)technology applications in textiles to avoid possible future consequences caused by a poorly regulated use and to implement regulatory standards phasing out or limiting the amount of TiO2 particles, following the safe-by-design principle.

weird how after two plus years, some here still get hard ons talking about covid, and think they are right.

Good to see you are on the side of sanity, Lou!

You were not supposed to read THAT part of the study!!!

How many people who post here even OWN a mask anymore? We've probably got some tucked away somewhere, but I haven't actually worn one since....February when I flew home from Bogota?

I still wear a KN95 inside in crowded settings, especially at 'cattle call' dockets at the courthouse. Wasn't really a big fan of being in the middle of a room full of people hacking up a lung without covering their mouths prior to this whole mess, so I will probably keep my mask around for the foreseeable future.

It’s funny how different mask usage is in different places. Out in California this summer they were quite common. In Atlanta I see a rare person wearing a mask in the grocery store, and I wonder why.

HOWEVER, my mother fell and broke her pelvis. They would only let one person into the ER/hospital at a time to be with her and masks were absolutely mandatory. The same for the next 6 weeks in the nursing facility. Masks required for entry. (I get that, I suppose. Lot’s of sickly old people.) I took her to her GP yesterday and none of the staff wore masks. It was a nice relief and made me like them even more!

Other than a hospital setting, I honestly don’t know if I’ve worn a mask this year. I do know where they are located now because I had to go looking after the fall.

The point of the vax is to lessen the severity of the virus for me. As I said, I could care less if you're vaxxed or not.

Yeah, but is this even accurate? This is an experimental vax that was ONLY tested on 8 lab rats/mice. To my knowledge there is no scientific truth that it reduces the severity in a vaxxed person.

There are more and more scary heart issues coming to light in those that are multi-jabbed. But at least your cold won't be as bad.

I wonder why this hasn’t triggered a protest from the two resident science deniers yet?
