Masks help prevent the spread of disease; nobody has claimed they stop it in it's tracks. Your logic would be like throwing out seatbelts because people can still die/get injured while wearing them.

No my logic would be like continuing to pretend seatbelts work when every thread of the seatbelt frays and you smash your head threw through the window.

Seatbelts work. Masks don't

So, you are wrong.  As is Goddess and the rest of you who believe anything "alternative" media tells you.

You are wrong.

I read the studies.  You read the headlines.

And while we're all paying attention to Ukraine/Russia, the UK NHS just released data showing that 9 out of 10 deaths from covid are in the fully vaxxed.

What actually works to prevent serious illness? Maintaining a healthy body weight. Taking a multivitamin. Getting your glucose levels under control if you are a diabetic. 

We don't talk about any of that. Abuse your body with cigarettes, alcohol and fast food all you wish. Just take the magical vaccine though.

Latest studies show those hit hardest also have extremely low Vit. D levels.

But no one wants to talk about that, either.

So, everybody who ever gets sick does so because they didn't take a multivitamin?

Of course. You naturally get your vitamin d from the sun in the summer which is why you see alot less sickness in the summer

The majority of serious outcomes were in people with multiple comorbidies and as Goddess correctly points out a vitamin d deficiency. This is fact.

[Goddess]

When you only read headlines for your scientific information instead of reading the studies, you believe when Big Pharma told you the vax does nothing to your DNA.

But the very first item in the Adverse Events of Special Interest from the Pfizer docs shows 1p36 deletion syndrome - it deletes chromosomes.

But lets force pregnant women to take it......

Yes, I agree .. most people dead from Covid had comorbidities

But claiming that nobody who has a healthy weight and takes a multivitamin gets seriously sick is ridiculous.

There have also been studies before the mask was politicized that show that they don't work. That virus particles are small enough to get through the pores of the mask. 

Considering when you are shedding virus particles you shed millions at a time there's no way a mask will stop that. 

As for your statement about the UK, it's not uncommon for there to be two waves during any cold and flu season. One generally December/January. The second in March. To claim its the masks is ridiculous

One thing I noticed is when you go into medical facilities they make you take off your cloth designer mask and give you on the common paper masks.

You don’t know the meaning of authoritarianism.  Having rules doesn’t make a state authoritarian.  Having unnecessary and arbitrary unconstitutional rules and policies does.

No only the most fanatic libertarians think we shouldn't have rules.  Strong government is not necessarily big government.

You actually think the people who were predicting there would be dead protestors at the hands of Trudeau are moderate?

Who was that?  I don't think regarding Trudeau suspiciously makes one extreme.

You are 100% correct.  I realized long ago that I am talking to a group of programmed robots on here and it is largely a waste of time.  They are ideologically driven and no amount of reasoning will change their minds.  Science doesn't mean a thing with them.  They are part of a lunatic fringe.  I saw one today driving a pickup with a trailer with big Canadian flag hanging off the back of the trailer.  The good thing about them having a big flag is it serves as a warning that the guy driving the truck is a nutcase and we should avoid them at all costs.

Being patriotic makes one a nut case? Do you hate Canada?

It's no accident the fattest population on earth had high COVID numbers and the lowest (Korea, Japan) had low COVID numbers.

So now you are guessing.

Yes, unhealthy people are more likely to die of almost anything.  That doesn't mean that masks and vaccines don't work.

[Zeitgeist]

Does anyone actually care or worry about Covid anymore?  Keep fit and get on with your lives.

You tell me. It's your point?

It means you are attributing the health of those of us who work out and eat healthy to a vaccine and mask. 

If we were serious about reducing strain on Healthcare, we'd force fatties to exercise to keep their jobs. We can't do that because "that's offensive".

It's not patriotism.  The large flags are carried to fool people like you.  Apparently they are doing a good job.

The idea that a mask is going to stop a microorganism is quite possibly the most ridiculous of all the covid nonsense

Tell that to all the hospital workers that wear and wore masks long before COVID.

Before masks were politicized? 

You mean when masks were worn by medical persons for over 100 years?  You mean that they were not useful/helpful/required in hospitals or surgery for all those years??

New Zealand cancelled it's requirements and now had to close down completely... once again. Not for the flu LOL
