Pretty obvious, people don't know how to wear them or are not wearing them.



I guess you don't believe scientific evidence then? Or are all the epidemiologists in on the "big plot"?

Every single retort you have is classic "whataboutism" - a method of argumentation perfected by the Soviets.

Someone makes a point, and you say "what about ____" and concede nothing.

Any scientific evidence or links to this? Everywhere I go I see people wearing masks, and businesses won’t let anyone in without them.

My retorts are legit questions. If masks work, why the cases?

We can't see into an alternate universe where people wear no masks. But the logical answer is without masks there would be even more cases. No one ever argued masks reduce transmission to zero after all.

Plus, many people don't use masks properly. Lots of people only wear masks when they are inside stores, and take them off as soon as they get out. Or they invite friends over their house for small get-togethers, and are unmasked there.

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?
