Just asking for a friend...


My guess is, if they tested positive for Covid-19, their death possibly would be blamed on Trump.

If masks could keep you from getting cancer, would you wear one?

False equivalency. Trump is responsible for our poor performance on this. 4% of the worlds population, well over 20% of the deaths....and rising.

I can and do wear a mask in public settings, where required. So yes, I possibly would, if it was common knowledge that masks can prevent cancer. Wouldn't you expect society to be doing the same?

How long are we supposed to wear masks

Even a vaccine doesn’t eradicate a virus

Anyone take a course in logical fallacies. Not certain, but is this a strawman, red herring, apples and oranges?

USA has an aged population, and it is well known that the health of the general public, overall, is not that great. Sedentary lifestyle and junk food makes for a population vulnerable when a pandemic strikes. Hillary would have done no better, and the same is true of brain dead Biden.

Of course I would. But I wouldn't count on it. There are a lot of idiots out there who think wearing a mask is some kind of Communist/Marxist/socialist plot or something.

But you can't "catch" cancer from someone else the way you can COVID, so your OP is silly. One has nothing to do with the other. And you already know that.

Pandemics have been plaguing mankind for 1000's of years, just like cancer. Trump did not make this happen. Therefore, blaming him for a force of nature that's older than man seems rather silly.
