If you wear a mask for any reason

Approximately 300,000 people in the US have died "of" COVID.

In other words, if all of the COVID deaths were distributed evenly we would have each lost under 4 days of life, and probably more like 2.

Now, are you seriously claiming that someone who would prefer to see the smile on a friend's face while eating at a nice restaurant over living four more days can only be a selfish, morally reprehensible, anti-citizen?



The AAPS page quotes some 30 articles if I am eyeballing it correctly. Please remember that the scientific consensus up till about 8 months ago was that masks don't work. Fauci is literally on record as stating that the average person should not wear a mask and that asymptomatic people are never the primary drivers of an epidemic.



I have a PhD in Computer Science. I've seen how the academic sausage is made. Peer reviewed papers are more interesting than random internet pages . . . but not by much. Mostly they just reflect the interests of their corporate donors, and those are not always aligned with the truth . . .

Nice, more minimizing, more "comorbidities".

I'm 30 and I have "comorbidities" but they wouldn't affect my covid survival. If I died, you'd scratch me from your cherrypicked stats.

Fuck grandma, she had high blood pressure so she doesn't count.
