last week at social security office, masks were obligatory. Luckily they had them because I did not. Most of us wore them under our nose and no one said a thing. As to the whole mess, if they had made ivermectin and hcq available not only would we have herd immunity there would also be lots less dead from the ventilators and the useless and very expensive meds. And the govt should not pay doctors and hospitals to put covid on a death certificate. Which makes the idea of a programmed outbreak inevitable.
Welcome back! I agree with the sentiment but I don't think these maskers are very interested in actual science. They operate on a mixture of fear, appeal to authority, and feckless inability to leave emotionally and politically held positions. The official line already admitted that cloth masks do nothing yet many still seem to use them.
It can't hurt to have some real science done to analyze these things though, if it can get published and the authors are not vilified. Here's the problem: I also see purported scientists wearing masks. Outdoors!
Perhaps the only solution for these people is to offer them booster shots.
Your comments on droplet priming is very interesting. Given masks do stop droplets (their original design purpose was to stop blood droplets during surgery), then allowing the virus which is not stopped by these types of masks (even N95) to go directly to the lungs could explain a lot. Are masks the worst thing we could be doing? Something like taking the injection.

Another BS study fresh off the press!

A mask lover is unlikely to listen to the pre-pandemic papers and the only two cRCTs that actually tested masking during the pandemic
Could you provide the links to these studies. I’d like to have them as references. Thx😊
