Striker Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 17 minutes ago, Old Guy said: Like I said, they had to walk it back when they! Let me ask you a simple question about masks. We breath in oxygen and what do we breath out? Or. OR - maybe they didn't want a garbage "study" that endangers the public health attributed to their university. But no, it's obviously because they simply are bowing to public pressure. And not at all because this person worked for Stanford once and misrepresents their affiliation as greater than it was. As to your question - you do realize that the way oxygen flows through a mask is COMPLETELY different than how the COVID virus is transmitted, right? But since we're citing university studies, here is an actual one: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/a-microscopic-look-at-how-masks-work/ Also a little something officially from Stanford: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2020/06/stanford-scientists-contribute-to-who-mask-guidelines.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That took me three seconds to look up in Google. And 2 of those seconds were because I had to wait for the page to load. i literally laughed out loud at this. Here, we have people thinking a Stanford study concluded this. @Old Guy honestly believes this. Instead, we have a friggin CLINICAL EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST writing in a NON-PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL CALLED "MEDICAL HYPOTHESES". Ugh, I hate life. I want to dedicate my life to improving critical thinking skills in Americans. It seems futile, but absolutely necessary for humanity. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to even blame some of them because it's all that's on there anymore Unfortunately it's not just Facebook. When looking up that nonsense article, I saw that it started flying through Twitter as well through the normal anti-vaccine/mask grifters. Which likely means it also leaked through to Instagram, etc etc. And then folks, who think they know how to research, cling to it like they do every other asinine conspiracy or misleading/outright lie out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to dedicate my life to improving critical thinking skills in Americans. It seems futile, but absolutely necessary for humanity. I constantly wonder how we can reverse the damage done to folks when it comes to critical thinking and reading comprehension. Not sure about you, but it's a pretty bad spiral for me from there because the conclusion is never good considering the endless existential crises we're facing that folks just want to deny are happening or are calling overblown despite them LITERALLY happening right now (and are scientifically proven for the crises that go beyond "simply" societal). It's also sad, because most of those who love to call others sheep are the actual ones going off of cliffs for some of the most disingenuous folks and/or blatantly obvious grifters that I've ever seen. Dunning-Kruger is real. Edited July 27, 2021 by Striker 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly will probably be classified as a "war" to the next generation. Like a "Misinformation War". I'm 100% serious. Their actions and the results are quite literally warfare. It's a dangerous kind, too, because half of one side doesn't even realize they're under attack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After learning that they would still need to pay him, the Vikings have reach an agreement to keep Rich Dennison on the coaching staff even though he remains unvaccinated. Dennison 'will not work hands on with the players', but will continue to work under whatever protocols apply to his vaccinated status. Is this a precedent for future cases?

Meanwhile, escaped prisoners are not getting tested!! Such a weird leap to take from what we were talking about to immigration.... Pretty sure millions is an exaggeration but how would we count them, just like we can't stop them to test them. PoLiTiCs though.
