    @mctrap

     Then get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. It's based on the tried and tested vaccine tech we've always used. It's as effective as the MRNA vaccines on a dose-by-dose basis. One J&J shot provides same protection as one Pfizer. Pfizer is only more effective because they chose a two-shot dose. If you got two shots of J&J you'd get same protection. J&J side effects disproportionately affected females. So males should not hesitate to get J&J.

    Wasn't our CDC who said Pelosi kissing Biden on the cheek, both maskless, was not a worry because it didn't meet the 15 minutes of close contact? Yet 30 minutes moving around in a store does?

    The world is so freaking gullible. Mask data in the United States shows little if any differences. And I don't give a rats azz about Bangladesh studies. The numbers here speak for themselves. Became political back in 2020 and science was forgotten.

    Germany had a full scale you must wear only medical grade masks and Omicron ripped right through them. 

    You wanna think your playing an_angel go ahead, no skin off my nose. Your so nice and thoughtful.

    If you get the J & J you must be boostered in two months to be considered fully vaccinated.

    @UNIMAN

     US death rate = 3,000 per million

    Germany death rate = 1,500 per million

     

    Don't know if the CDC said that about Harris and Biden or not.  And I don't care if CDC said that. You don't even comprehend what the expression 'respect for others' means.

    Just to be clear. Thirdperson, if YOU ARE reincarnated as A Chinese Communist Chicken, will you have acquired natural immunity to the Bird Flu?

    I already have natural immunity because I don't watch or listen to MSM fake news and their propaganda narratives. Except when I want to read the comics. So, therefore that makes it impossible for me to have been infected by that mind virus.

     You sound like an idiot or like a Democrat trying to make Republicans look bad by pretending to be a Republican and sounding like an idiot.

    Masks do nothing but cause lung infections from breathing your own air.

     

    Were you born with a screen over your mouth? No. So obviously it's not healthy long term.

    Then the next time you get sick, it's now worse because you wore a mask all the time.

    If you disagree with this, you are a fool.

    I'm afraid I do respect others. And Germanys death rate over 2 years is irrelevant to what is happening now with masking. All evidence that I have gathered says masking makes little difference. So you wanna wear one go for it and I would suggest an N95 medical grade because it PROTECTS THE WEARER. 

    Germany had one of the world's toughest mask laws. The mask must be medical grade and you would be fined $59 for caught not wearing one. They ditched this requirement in several areas as cases reached highest levels ever.

    December 1 to April 13th represents 74.6% of all recorded positives in Germany since the pandemic began.

    Some day we will meet up at the store, I'll hold the door open for you and as we pass you'll think "that inconsiderate Neanderthal is not wearing a mask" and I'll think " that poor slob doesn't have a clue". 

    Life goes on! bigsmile

     

    It's funny......  For COVID-19, a close contact is anyone who was less than 6 feet away from you for a combined total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period. An infected person can transmit SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, starting 48 hours (2 days) before they have symptoms or before they were tested.

    Yet more than 1/3 of whitetail deer in the woods that have been captured and tested show anti-body exposure to covid. Wonder who they stood next to for 15 minutes or more??? an_light

    Or all operating room staff for that matter.   There must be a logical, science-proven reason for it.

    BWS77 and others are right.  Doctors and nurses routinely wear masks for extended periods of time without harm.   American lung association says no evidence suggests masks increase the risk of developing infections.  American Thoracic society says masks don't lead to carbon dioxide poisoning because air pass easily through masks.  National institute of health published a study showing that masks help the immune system.  Humidity hydrates respiratory tract to create interferons that boost immunity. 

    On the internet, anti-maskers spread many myths.  For example, masks don't protect against covid.  But World health organization and US center for disease control still recommend masks.  Reality is that masks are safe and effective even for people with asthma or lung conditions.

    so a scenario that you completely fabricated in your own head is "funny" to you?....bizarre...what a loser.

     

    whats "funny" to me is cocks on the interwebbz that strangely make up irrelevant scenarios and tell everyone how funny they are.at this point in time there is likely not a single person on the planet with a functioning brain that doesnt know that smoking has negative health effects...what a weird non sequitur

    No. the F-ing idiots are in Nevada casinos where you damn well better wear a mask for yours and others protection! But if you smoke just drop the mask and puff away!

    Then with the Superbowl a week away Nevada's dimwit gov. Sisolak violates their own mandate rules and drops the masks. 

    At least most Indian Casinos in Michigan have now banned smoking!!
