    Those people claimed that the numbers were way higher so natural immunity was way more common initially (I think they claimed that the case count was something like 85x higher in Santa Clara County in 2020). It is interesting that the same people claimed that the numbers were way high and way low. Whatever it took for their current argument, I guess.

    Get five shots, wear two masks, hide in the furthest recess of your house ... nothing can protect you from the primary driver of mass-psychosis - the PCR test and later the antigen test.

    Gaslighting left people broken, terrified, unable to think ...

    Remember when you used to get the ‘crud’ ?

    Remember when you still went to work because you couldn’t afford not to ?

    Remember when you warned away coworkers because you had the crud ?

    Remember how nobody took you seriously because no one really feared the crud ?

    That makes zero sense. You've been caught in a blatant contradiction on your absolutely mind-blowingly dumb take from Tuesday that distancing doesn't work and is junk science. Again, why do you think your home is the most common place to get covid? Because that's where most people aren't distancing from others. Use your brain big boy - I know you can get this.

    LOL. Use your big boy brain and look at the data showing masks don't work and get back to me. Too funny that some people still ignore all the RCT's that show masks don't work. It's almost like you and others are being purposely ignorant.

    LOL!

    You get sick. Do what you have always done. You want to go wear a mask and lockdown for no reason. Go for it.

    You really are special LOL!

    The people sitting in the dentist waiting room probably think you're a loon with all this laughing out loud you're doing.

    The big mask gaslighting giveaway was early on when none of our fearless leaders wore one when they didn't think a camera was rolling. :emoji_joy:

    This is turning into the longest ‘pandemic’ in history. Even the ‘Spanish Flu’ pretty much ran its course in 18 months.

    To say masks don't work at all has never seemed even possible to me. If you st
    spray a garden hose through a chain link fence, a little bit of water still hits the fence and never leaves your yard. Even the worst mask will stop some of it.

    Masks are used to protect the wearer from splatter. Don’t let the propaganda fool you into this made up you are protecting others and the real purpose of the mask has been wrong.

    They knew masks were never going to slow community spread. But they have people still believing. It is crazy.

    Just sticking with Tilly’s stringently scientific analogy ... your neighbor’s yard is still going to get wet.

    “Propaganda, generational damage” I see the regular regurgitated talking points are out early again today.

    No one is fooling anyone. A mask stops some things. Its a matter of physics. Just like a chain link fence will stop SOME water.

    Agreed. Masks were never intended to stop the pandemic but rather to slow it. There are also ancillary benefits like the subconscious reminder when wearing a mask to be careful and keep your distance from others. It encourages behavior to slow the spread.
