I have no doubt you're perfect at wearing your mask like this guy, but scientific evidence proves mask wearing reduces spread of airborne viruses.

I’m not opposed to wearing a mask, and never have been. I simply believe that they do very little, if anything, especially with the cases.

I’d wager people didn’t just start wearing them incorrectly, and taking them off as soon as they get outdoors, or invite friends over for small get togethers, etc...

Seat belts, birth control ..ever heard of them..ever used them? Seat belts reduce deaths but guess what...people still die with them on. Birth control...not 100% effective either. Are you really an idiot are do you just play one on a message board?

I don’t see anything where people all of a sudden started doing things differently, yet there’s more cases?

Love the assumption. I wear a mask as it’s supposed to be worn. I simply don’t believe with the recent cases that it’s affective, or there wouldn’t be so many.

Great strawman argument, and the name-calling is classy. If masks work, why the cases?

Masks obviously aren't working well, are they? Even though number of "cases" is basically meaningless, you could argue if masks were effective why are cases rising? In the end, we can't control every illness, etc. Lock ourselves away. It's just silly. I'd even argue masks are making things worse. The medical industry is a big failure.

Evidence plain and simple, did you read it? Masks are effective if worn properly. Its not a debate, its a fact.


And yes, I just linked multiple, credible sources proving masking's effectiveness, yet you dismiss it as if I was telling you the world is round instead of being flat.

Yep, read it. I still don’t see anything where people all of a sudden started wearing them differently, causing the rise in cases? There’s obviously no way the entire country just did that.

Anecdotal evidence proves absolutely nothing. How about this?


I see lots of people wearing them wrong, and it is causing a rise in cases. There prove me wrong.

I asked why if they work, there’s so many cases? I still haven’t seen a valid answer, just deflection due to your anecdotal experience.
