I'm not, but there have been many studies to come out pointing out the psychological harm of masking in this context.

You're projecting. Can't you see that this is exactly what you're doing? No, of course you can't

"Confirmed"? Not one researcher has confirmed that. Do you know what "confirmed" means?

Psychological harm?



Oh, in other words, it traumatizes snowflakes and neurotics? Is that what you're really trying to say? And is that why you don't wear one?



Tell you what. Produce a link to that study and we'll discuss its merits.

Here's one. I don't have time to go digging around right now. If you had been paying attention for the past year instead of being glued to the TV you would have seen plenty of it yourself. As I'm sure you know, google has been censoring out search results that don't conform to the Approved Narrative™.

This isn't a study, but a recommendation from your Magisterium (the WHO) regarding masking children in which it warns of the "potential impact of wearing a mask on learning and psychosocial development" https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-de...ed-to-covid-19

For someone who didn't have time to dig, you sure dug. I mean, you couldn't even find a study in English. You had to go find some half-baked screed in German that didn't even provide data for its findings. That's some seriously weak cheese if you ask me.

Then, of course, you provide the pat conspiracy theory narrative that Google somehow blots out all scientific studies that agree with your point of view.

And as far as the WHO study is concerned, it speaks to masking children under the age of 5, not adults. Are you a child? I mean, your understanding of science seems to be on that level. But if you're above the age of 8, you're supposed to deal with things as a grown-up, not some emotionally-arrested person who doesn't think about the consequences to anyone but oneself. I mean, heck, that selfsame report said that anyone 12 and up should be wearing a mask. It's like you didn't even bother reading the link you supplied.

So I guess he's right and they're wrong.

Either that or the guy is just too big a baby to wear a mask. I'm guessing that's the real truth here.

Thanks for that persuasive argument. As a reward, here's something for you to watch:

Why do I think your favorite source of unbiased science is Pravda?

Seriously, I am impressed with the ability of Russian psyops to influence.

I was in Fort Worth last weekend and I'd say 80% of people were not wearing masks.
