Yeah
How is it hypocrisy?
I just don't see why it's such a problem for you to wear a mask if you're going out in public. Unless you have a pre-existing lung condition (i.e. asthma) which inhibits your breathing ability already and would only be exacerbated by a mask, then there's really no good reason not to.
Because I don’t want to be told by the government what to do. Like I said, “If they’re scared they can stay home, I don’t see why I have to be punished with blanket regulations that barely protect those most vulnerable”
That’s called *libertarian*
There have actually been no scientific studies demonstrating that wearing a mask damages your respiratory system if you're an average individual, this is just some rhetoric that's been spread around by non-scientific people on the basis of assumption rather than fact. ...Unless you *do* have a link to a reputable source demonstrating the rationale behind this belief, in which case by all means, please link it.
Fair enough, honestly. If you're against the idea of the government creating regulations and laws about it, then that's not entirely an invalid position to have. It's not a position I personally agree with, but I can't blame you for it. However, you're still not really addressing my original point: That is, **regardless** of whether or not the government is "telling you what to do", why wouldn't you just wear a mask anyway out of respect for the people who are concerned that they may contract the virus and unwittingly spread it to someone who may be vulnerable?
Ironic how days after that Biden was project
Projected
Theres a announcement about a vaccine
Why don’t I do it out respect? It’s because I don’t have respect for people who live their life in fear over a cold virus because the deep state government and corrupt news sources told them to. When every cold season rolls around we don’t do all this to protect our 93 year old grandmas but now that the cold has a name people are shitting themselves. As I said, if you’re afraid stay home and don’t come in contact with people who might of been out
It’s not “the deep state” warning people about the dangers of this disease, though. It’s also the entire medical community, and the entire scientific community. Additionally, the governments of every country in the world - I mean, come on, you know that this isn’t just a USA thing, right? Do you really think that the virus is all just some hoax made up by the media to rig the election? Because without any evidence, that’s utterly absurd.
I still wanna know how it’s a medical concern if no one freaking dies from it
Out of the 13.7 million cases in the USA that have occurred, 0.2% have died from it. That's about 270 thousand deaths.
My point
No, that contradicts your point. You just said "no one freaking dies from it".
0.2 is no one
0.2% is 270 thousand. Did you not read what I said?
Additionally, even if people aren't dying, the virus causes serious lung damage that can be permanent. I know several people who caught the virus, but are perfectly alive because they're young and healthy and whatnot. However, their lungs have sustained serious, possibly life-long damage as a result of it, all because they interacted with people (like you?) that were looking out for themselves before looking out for others.
Then don’t interact with me lol if you’re scared like I said stay home. Hey thanks for the debate but I’m gonna go play Destiny now, have a good rest of your night
Aw I love Destiny's soundtrack, it has some amazing music. Paul McCartney helped compose the soundtrack (along with the guy who did the music for the original Halo), so of course it's awesome.
Completely 110% agree (something we finally agree on) it’s probably my favorite video game soundtrack
Well
This is awkward
🙄
Lol yeah I saw that
masks are a literal meme and at this point they're just another way for leftoid brainlets to virtue signal
🤣
@Kevin_the_wise A video of someone just saying that with a witty meme caption overlay is not science. This is science:
Hes a doctor
😐
Ktb is the type of person to be a karen if he dont see u without a mask
Completely irrelevant. Notice that, in the document I linked, for every single sentence and statement made in this document, multiple citations are provided to experiments and studies performed by reputable scientific research organizations.
Even if he's a doctor, the collective scientific organization outweighs one man's (apparently misinformed?) opinion.
I've seen more doctors agree
1 of em got fired for it
If he got fired, there's probably a reason for that.
I don't care how many doctors you've "seen" agree with him, if you can't provide a link to a single academically scientific paper suggesting that there's anything useless or harmful about wearing Covid masks, then you don't have any evidence.
On the other hand, I have just provided a resource containing exactly 45 different papers showing how effective and useful masks actually are. Can you beat that?
I have links I would need time to find em
