TheNewGirl 1,031 Posted March 10, 2021 18 minutes ago, TimHauck said: I've never said masks were "critical," just that they helped. I was arguing with you when you were claiming they made it worse and I'd stand by that. They say you should still wear a mask after the vaccine because they're not sure. I imagine that may change once they have more data and I think mask restrictions will continue to ease as the numbers continue to improve overall. I am not sure masks helped as much as people think they did. There are several peer reviewed studies, even some that Fauci referenced last year, indicating that masks do not really help with colds and other small viruses...which is what Covid is. So, I am not sure if you can sell me on the mask thing. I think it's harmed a LOT of businesses and its created both a sense of fear and a false sense of security at the same time. People are more likely to engage in risky behavior, or go out and meet others, etc. because "Hey, I have a mask on." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They say you should still wear a mask because they want everyone to wear a mask. At a minimum, their concern is if vaccinated people wear masks, non-vaccinated people may think it is OK to not wear masks, and gawd forbid at this point of the game we stop wearing masks. So basically another example of Machiavellian lying by Saint Fauci and the government. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utilit99 4,099 Posted March 10, 2021 I walked into a store yesterday with some work on my mind and I forgot to wear a mask in. 5 steps in, 3 store workers were yelling and rushing at me to get out and put a mask on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimHauck 1,801 Posted March 10, 2021 6 hours ago, TheNewGirl said: The hospitals have to use something to measure body fat, healthy weight, whatever. Literally the ONLY thing to accurately measure how much body fat one has is autopsy. BMI is outdated and gives a false impression of body fat and health, but they NEED something they can use across the board. You can't leave it up to one doctor to say, "Yeah you're fat....." and another saying, "Naw, not fat." They need a number, a measure, something. Sure, those that have a LOT of lean mass will reflect as overweight, BUT...how many people do you know that actually have like 15% body fat and/or are SUPER ripped and lean? Even a 15% BF is low. Anything over 35% for women is dangerous, and men is around 28%. Can you tell BF by looking at someone? No. BUT...you can take their height and weight, and use averages, etc. MOST of America is at least overweight, basically around the 20 to 30% range. I'd guess that over 1/3 of our population fits in this. Bolding mine. 72% according to the link above Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't think these people have a focking clue. So they're being overly cautious instead of "following the science" all while telling us that their recommendations are because they ARE "following the science." Unfortunately, schools are closed because they have trouble with 6 foot social distancing but 3 feet would be much more manageable. Restaurants are going bankrupt because of 6 foot social distancing but would be in decent shape if it was 3 feet. And on and on. These people are single focused on "keeping us safe" while ignoring all the effects of their mandates and we keep finding more and more of their mandates are based on nothing. It's disgusting.

Then factor in the age and co-morbidities of those who died from Covid, and the fact that therapeutics that have been shown to work were disparaged or not allowed, we’re looking at a really bad flu season as far as deaths go.
