Doesn't prove they do anything

India is in the top 10 of purchased vaccines in the entire world

Not to mention the absolute environmental disaster a billion+ discarded masks would be in that country

No doubt during the 1600s Dr Sanjay Gupta would be wearing a different kind of robe and busily boiling salamanders and burning women who looked at him sideways at the stake for witchcraft.

Fortunately, in the modern age we do scientific experiments, which clearly show that Gupta is a quack and masks do not prevent COVID transmission.

Let's hope this attitude doesn't alienate the suburban voters Republicans need to retake the House and Senate in the upcoming midterms.

I have heard the 'low powered' argument before regarding the Danish study. It's ridiculous. They had 6000 volunteers! Their primary problem was that COVID is so mild. And in any case, the onus is on the people who want everyone to wear masks to prove they work. Have you noticed that none of the $billions are going to such studies?

Are you suggesting that Denmark's samfundssind was some kind of gigantic faith healing? Based on your quote the US does not social distance less than Denmark.

To be honest, based on your last few posts I am beginning to wonder if you actually understand the scientific method, i.e. what makes something science vs not. You are of course in good company there! But I hope you can continue this conversation with your own words rather than merely

Reading and linking an article takes very little effort. Making a blanket statement, without including any evidence to support it, takes almost no effort at all. A generalization accounts only for what is passively observed rather than what is actively investigated. And, as with anything unspecific, it requires a disclaimer or certain concessions after the fact.

In March 2020, during the peak of the COVID hysteria, Fauci guessed around 0.1%.

It's no more ridiculous than taking into consideration what influenced the efficacy % of the Janssen vaccine versus the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine.

The onus is on those who are not in agreement with the consensus. Insert the Reservoir Dogs tipping/gratuity scene here. You are Mr. Pink.

Also, in certain restaurants male patrons are still required to wear a jacket. Other establishments have lower expectations, but ones that are still enforced—"No shoes, no shirt, no service."

Culture influences behavior and vice versa. Having to suddenly alter one's personal habits and family traditions is a form of culture shock. Certain parts of the world's population experienced this to a lesser extent based, in part, on their cultural norms, their national policies, and their immediate relationships. For example, those within the cystic fibrosis community were already social distancing. If a word or phrase serves to reinforce certain behaviors, that is not in the same category as faith healing. Let's not confuse secular pledges with religious practices.

Thats acceptable to you? 1% would be... drum roll. 3.6 million people.

3.6 million. Is more than acceptable to you. It could be 36 million dead. You wouldnt care. As long as you can point to something else and say "but obama! benghazi! they stole 2020!" what does it matter?

Why even pretend you care?? You dont. Bad is only bad when a democrat does it.

If we got 7 billion people gobally, 1% would be 70,000,000 people. More than the number of people who died in WWII. You throw out these numbers like it makes it all go away. Thats a shitload of funerals, moving companies, hospital bills, and everything else that comes with a death in the family. That ripple is acceptable to you. Just say it..

Imagine how many families are being ripped apart now because there is always one in the bunch who says "i deserve all of what was left" and there was no will left, due to the whole dying all the sudden. That is acceptable to you. How many people are not talking to their brother or sister because mom died and they became greedy as fuck or cheated the rest of the family??
