What is?

The studies showing how ineffective the masks were were on the CDC website; they still may be there. The cotton masks that the majority of people wore in public were very ineffective. I worked at DHS during the initial outbreak and we'd get our mask training videos straight from CDC and HHS and the end of the videos they'd say "the mask barely works."

The purpose of the mask wasn't to prevent the spread of Covid. Unfortunately, I guess a lot people didn't take algebra or pre-calc, where they covered geometeric growth rates. I guess they didn't bother reading the formula the epidemiologist put out there again and again regarding the spread of Covid and other infectious diseases. Even a small dent in the spread of the virus can add up to huge numbers when you reach the 20th, 30th generation. Personally, I don't like the mask and could have gone either way with it, but unfortunately the mask became a rallying cry for both sides with neither side willing to acknowledge the facts about the mask.

If somebody was sneezing next to you when the pandemic was at it's worst would you rather have a mask on or not? Just curious.

I wouldn't care...I wasn't all that scared of it...

When it first hit? You are kidding yourself. I had people sneer at me if I sneezed months after Covid hit. You are just being naive.

Doesn't matter if it was the pandemic or not, I'd prefer they had a mask. The mask was still only marginally effective. If masks were "super" effective, then Covid never would have gotten out of China, where masks are normal everyday attire.

And if the virus would've just disappeared then we would've been fine. Trump said it would happen over 40 times. Did it ever happen?

Do any of these viruses ever go away?

You have posted that Trump said the virus would just disappear or go away 40 times like 40 times now... we get it, you have nothing new to say about Trump. Pick up the needle and change the record, your copy is scratched badly.

Just the fact that you keep even mentioning that makes me think you actually think Trump could have made the virus disappear. Either you thought of him as a god or you are literally just bitching like a woman. Which is it? Was he a god or are you a woman?

You got lucky (or maybe you were asymptotic). The shut down some Walmarts in my neck of the woods over outbreaks associated with lax mask enforcement.

Even when Trump said it would disappear, can't we acknowledge that was hyperbole? These viruses never disappear, they just fade to the background.

Even when Trump originally said that I was able to say, he's not a doctor or a scientist, he has no idea what it is going to do. Do you know why I am able to do that? Because I think for myself and use my brain. Bobby is a blind follower. He does what he is told and because the left has not told him to stop, he will keep on repeating the same narrative over and over.

Definitely not hyperbole. He said it and actually believed it. Don't kid yourself. People like to give Trump a pass and say that's not what he meant when he said that. If he didn't mean it then why did he say it so many times?

Neither. He said it so he has to own it. Who knows how many people died because of his BS talk.

So by the same standard...when biden said "you ain't black if you don't vote for me" he 100% meant it...

Great, I hope you're holding Biden to the same standard.
