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]

Fascinating. You don’t seem to understand that you are talking with multiple posters. I think my initial assessment that you are a little slow was correct. You don’t understand what the word debate even means.

For the record, I have never said masks don’t work. In fact, I explicitly stated they did. But what do not work — as shown by science — are mask mandates. But I think you were one of the PPs who did not comprehend the difference between masks and mask mandates, so that distinction is probably a bit too challenging for you. Bless.

Oh really.  Well, several pages back, you, or someone with your exact same weird, overly stilted style of posting cited the Cochrane study as evidence that masking does not work and berated the rest of us calling us anti-science for saying masks do work.

Later on, when that argument failed with the continued onslaught of studies and evidence showing the effectiveness of masks, the goalposts got moved to "mask MANDATES don't work" despite again having absolutely no evidence to back that claim up, because the Cochrane study certainly didn't speak to that.  Your positions keep eroding and crumbling, yet you are too arrogant and self-deluded to acknowledge what the rest of us see happening, over and over and over again with you and your weak talking points.  [/quote]

I have not posted anything about Cochrane. [/quote]

Stop lying.  Your posting style is very recognizable.[/quote]

You can ask Jeff if you want.

I find your inability to comprehend that there are multiple posters fascinating. Are you able to work and hold a normal job? Function daily?[/quote]
