And you know this.

Pretty sure not a single one of the anti-maskers on this thread are scoffing at their surgeons, telling them masks don't work, and demanding they don't wear masks in the operating theater.  The whole anti-mask thing is so ridiculously dishonest.[/quote]

I think you are a little too slow to be participating in this conversation. Try to keep up. [/quote]

Oh, so you DO tell surgeons to stop wearing masks because according to you, they are ineffective and pointless?  WHAT A TOOL you are!  :lol: [/quote]

Like I said, too slow for this conversation. You don’t seem to understand the difference between the effectiveness of masks in specific clinical settings versus mask mandates that required, for instance, daycare centers to mask toddlers. Democratic policymakers required masking toddlers long after there was no credible basis for harming children that way. [/quote]

Well at least now we're getting somewhere.   You have now finally admitted that masks DO IN FACT work, when surgeons wear them.  From here on out, there's no taking that one back.  Masks are indeed useful, helpful and effective.

But then you lost the plot and tried moving the goalposts by saying since toddlers might not be able to properly put on or keep on a mask , it's apparently pointless for anyone at all other than surgeons to wear masks (note that nobody here was even talking about toddlers).  Sorry, but that's some harebrained logic there.  I'm definitely not the slow one in this conversation.  And again, the real-world observational studies did in fact show overall reductions in transmission, toddlers or no.  [/quote]

All this scrambling and disassembling to hide the fact that your people promulgated anti-scientific policies, like the Republicans.

It was your team that kept schools closed contrary to science (shall I point out the mountains of data demonstrating the incredible harm that did?), your team that pushed mask mandates that didn’t work even after there was proof they didn’t, etc. But you are so partisan and blind you can’t admit it.

Don’t come at me claiming that the Republicans are also anti-science. Of course they are. I am not a Republican, anyhow, and will never vote for Trump. But I despise Democratic hypocrisy and partisan blindness. The Democrats are objectively anti-science, just like the Republicans. You are just mad because people see through your cult beliefs. [/quote]

No.  After all of YOUR scrambling and dissembling,  YOU ADMITTED THAT MASKS CAN AND DO INDEED WORK.  And the science showed that.   Not your limited cherrypicked set of clinical-only studies, but the broader set of real-world studies.  And, your surgeon.  You lost the argument, and now you're whining and spinning and attacking like a toddler having a tantrum.  You lost the debate.  Period.[/quote]

Surgical masks require a proper fitting.

Did you get your n95 properly fitted?[/quote]

You seem confused.  Surgeons wear standard masks, just like the commercially available disposable ear loop N95s that most regular people wore throughout the pandemic.  They typically do not wear respirators which require special fitting.[/quote]
