But you can't always wear a mask.

Oct 8, 2021, 12:33 PM

My wife who's one of the best people I know about always wearing a mask caught COVID, most likely while eating at a restaurant. Masks only work if everyone's wearing them. If I have one on and you don't and we're nose to nose arguing about flag football, there's still a good chance I could catch it. If we both have them on there's still a slight chance, but it's small.

If any nurse has worked on a COVID unit or in the COVID ward and can see the type of #### are in and watch them dying alone without getting to see their loved ones, and then turn around and say, nah, a shot that's been proven to greatly reduce the chance of this happening isn't worth it then yeah, best of luck to ya. Or again, putting the burden on your fellow co workers while you're not only out of work and putting stress on them there, but adding to what's stressing them out to begin with, the overwhelming patients in the hospital.

Comparing it to chemo is apples and oranges. Chemo is literally putting poison in your body to kill cells, not merely treating the symptoms.

No one has ever claimed that masks are 100% effective in preventing the spread of Covid, just as no one has ever claimed that vaccines are 100% effective in preventing infection or serious illness. Same for social distancing. Each does offer though enhanced levels of protection, with vaccines being by far the strongest in preventing hospitalizations and death. Combined they offer our strongest weapon to date in keeping Covid at bay and not overwhelming the health care system, as well as helping our economy stay on track by limiting breakouts and shutdowns.

An unvaccinated healthcare worker wearing a mask is a greater threat to the spread of Covid, especially in environments populated by our most vulnerable, because they are choosing to eliminate a significant portion of the overall efficacy of the tools we have available to cut down on infections. That math is far from rocket science.

If masks work….

It is. Good luck if your appendix bursts or you get in a

There is zero logic in all that you just

You're not seeing the forest from the trees.

There are so many logical inconsistencies in all of this it

Oh boy

There is not one reputable

Make sure the next time you're in for a medical procedure

They usually don't in sane times.

False equivalence

Pretty much the exact same thing

I hope this is a joke
