If you cant wear a mask for your own selfish reasons.

How are those versus designed to be fit together. You’re saying Jesus did not confess himself so is without the father? Interesting. I’m not sure why you’re telling that to some giant forest dinosaur bird in a thread about masks.

Magnataress made an appeal to "human decency", thereby positing "human decency" as a concept that exists.

John 2:23-25 clearly states otherwise, as does Wisdom of Solomon chapters 1 and 2, so (s)he is essentially making an appeal towards a concept that cannot be substantiated; and given the sordid history of Humanity's "decency" at work, we're going to have to side with the empirical evidence that it does not.

Christ is "The Word" that God, the being that willed the material plane into existence, uses to make meaning of thought which would otherwise just be a formless incohesive blob, and subsequently using "Word"s without Christ essentially leaves whatever you God-less heathens have to say meaningless.

Quoting words of other godless heathens is thereby meaningless as well, by extension.

So, Provide actual proof; not the words of the Word-less, for they have no potency.

Well we *know* that reducing the speed limit on all interstate highways to 30mph would reduce traffic fatalities immensely. That's not even up for debate (unlike mask wearing) however we don't do it. Why don't we do it?

Why dont we just shoot people that ask stupid questions?

Duh.

Dont worry highways will be controlled by 5g soon and its only a matter of time before they can broadcast commercials directly into your brain, goodluck closing a pop up when you see it with your eyes closed

Say no to 5g

Ok so what that means is there’s conflicting data which means that there’s a chance wearing a mask could reduce spread thereby helping to save lives. Wear a mask in case it works.

I guess that's the schism between a country divided. You say do this because "maybe it works" vs "show me it works". 99.5% survival rating for the virus and we should shut down the world and take a vaccine that maybe has a 50% chance of working?? Logical.

Phew, as long as there is something totally abstract people can think is the mark.

Burden of proof should be within the institutions mandating compliance.

agreed. But raises interesting questions on what to base decisions on the while data is still being gathered.

Again, I'm not aware of any studies that actually show evidence of people that wear masks having less of a chance of acquiring Covid-19.

well the mask wearers in the experiment you linked did catch less covid... could have been chance .

The masks even have a disclaimer saying that it does not prevent Covid-19.

again with binary thinking. It’s mitigation not prevention.

Also don’t forget masks are primarily to prevent transmission to others, not protect the self. The study should have compared the how these 90ish participants with c19 spread it to those close to them. That would be the interesting finding.

from your link lol



You could piss in any direction and find a study with conclusive results that masks reduce the rate of infection for covid, or any influenza virus.

Yes, it's called confirmation bias.

You used a link that you thought supported your argument that itself says is inconclusive and had no scientific value whatsoever. Lmao.

This is like looking at a car that you need to get to work and ranting about how you dont think gas and maintenance is a scam, so you just quit working and say it's the roads fault.
