The government CAN NOT TELL ME OR ANYONE ELSE THEY HAVE TO HAVE A VACCINE
Your funny mandatory vaccinations
Ask my friend who was vaccinated in March that is lying in the hospital very sick with Covid what he thinks

That this analogy is perceived as reason reveals the lack of intellectual inquisitiveness of so many in our society. Gravity is a scientific law.
Force = [gravitational constant x masses (m1 m2)] / (radius)2.

There is no law that stating the the pros of wearing masks outweigh the cons. And since the CDC has made contradictory statements on this matter proves that their dictates are not to be regarded as incontrovertible.

If you check Pubmed you will find contradictory studies for preventing infection. That is because it is not an exact science.

Is a Mask That Covers the Mouth and Nose Free from Undesirable Side Effects in Everyday Use and Free of Potential Hazards? - PubMed

Mask-Induced Exhaustion Syndrome (MIES). We objectified evaluation evidenced changes in respiratory physiology of mask wearers with significant correlation of O2 drop and fatigue (p < 0.05), a clustered co-occurrence of respiratory impairment and O2 drop (67%), N95 mask and CO2 rise (82%), N95 mask and O2 drop (72%), N95 mask and headache (60%), respiratory impairment and temperature rise (88%), but also temperature rise and moisture (100%) under the masks. Extended mask-wearing by the general population could lead to relevant effects and consequences in many medical fields.

And there are many more.

Sanctimony is no substitute for logic, reason and an open mind.

Disagree,

OUR BODIES, OUR CHOICE! NO-ONE has the right to tell you what to put into your body, especially the government!

Wow

What you say is all true, but once you get the virus and take your hydroxychloroquine, tell me-how much fun will TV be straped to an oxygen tank??

Are you talking about a mask or a parachute because a mask offers about as much protection against Covid as it would wearing one when you jump out of an airplane. Or have you forgotten the "ex-spurts" opinions that masks Do Not Protect You but are designed to protect others. And yet you continue to believe every word these buffoons put out.

Rotsa ruck

Case in point....maybe if he wore a mask he wouldn't of caught it, or if the government had made vaccine mandatory sooner. How many more of our "friends" will it take before people stop being so righteous....so sad, hope he gets better.

The mask wouldn't have helped him, but getting the vaccine surely would have

Ha ha ha ha you think that something on FB is factual…….biggest Left Wing Media Mobster out there. FB only post what supports the left side of things…..along with the good Dr Quack

Yesterday, someone posted the mother of all surveys, something done by The Economist a few days back. Huge! I'm about halfway done reading it,

Anyway, the results of this survey seem to bear out what you say about Fauci. Those who trust him and those who mistrust him seem more or less equally divided, with a slight predominance of the numbers on the "trust" side.

We've come to a sad state of affairs in America, and I think this is symptomatic of it, in part anyway. No matter what a government official says or does, a large percentage of the people will reject it simply because it is a government official saying or doing it. According to a Pew poll taken in July 2019, only 22% of Americans have a high level of trust in the government, and given that that poll was taken before COVID, I think that that number is probably a lot smaller today.

We're light-years removed from the days of Uncle Walter and The Loyal Opposition.

If by “exact science” you mean absolute, there is no such entity. Remember: even a scientific law can have exceptions, be proven wrong, or evolve over time.

Did you hear about the guy who jumped off the Empire State building without a parachute? About a foot of the ground he thought 99.99% of the way down and still doing OK.
Enjoy your mask free, vax free existance; there is a cure for stupid.

and you and those like you are the reason for the problems we are facing now. when the mask mandate was lifted for VACCINATED people, you just tossed any you had away and have gone about your life with no regard for others--because there was no way of telling which people were vaccinated. so the delta variant had many people to infect and has done so and Florida is a cesspool again. You've probably been lucky because within the Villages itself, many people have been vaccinated. but with all the family visiting, that may change. with freedom comes responsibility.

I once heard that expecting a mask to stop the COVID bug is like expecting your underwear to stop a fart.

FINALLY!
Something all can relate to regardless of any and all persuasions.

Except the better analogy is when the fart is carried on a piece of s***

No one had any experience or scientific studies on COVID before it became our everyday existence. I had the vaccine and I wear a mask. My decision is based on the fact I will do what I need to do to not make others ill. COVID and the variants are new for everyone hence why guidance is always changing. I would hate to think I made a child ill, a family lose a loved one, if I could have done something as simply as wearing a mask. So I am uncomfortable for a few minutes. I would rather do that then the unthinkable

How do you explain the hundreds of millions not vaccinated and no mask who did get covid. How do you explain the 600,000 deaths in the US from covid. How do you explain the people who were vaccinated, did not wear a mask and got covid, albeit a milder case due to their vaccination. Wearing a mask also protects others from you when you start shedding virus because you are sick and go out in public. Masks protect those who can not be vaccinated. Masks protect the CHILDREN who can not yet get the vaccine. Do you hate humanity that much????

If you trust your god-given immune system then why are you taking vitamin C, D, zinc, and quercetin? Stop wasting money. god gave you the immune system you should have, no need to try and strengthen it. It is exactly as strong as god wants it to be.

And forget treatment. If god wants you to get sick, then man up and take the sickness.

I think you are right, wasn’t the person that said that given the Nobel prize? Such profound wisdom, I certainly will base my life and death decisions on the wisdom of such a person…. NOT.

Not "also", more like "exclusively" It's been over a year, when will people get it through their heads that a routine paper mask does almost nothing to protect the wearer. Yet, even now, we find people wearing a mask alone in their car, cycling, walking alone, etc. And please, no one post they are doing that because of "allergies". If that were true we would have seen hundreds of people wearing masks pre-COVID, but we didn't.

God gave me an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and I screwed up and got it repaired by a scientist. I guess I am doomed to hell now. Oh well…

Hate when that happens:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Making a health decision based upon a highly edited video on Facebook? Ignoring the evolution of knowledge as experience with Covid is acquired? Good luck with that! I get my medical info and advice from my own doctor -- not social media, politicians or TV pundits, thank you very much.

Nice job inserting the word paper. There is a list of recommended masks, that isn’t on it. Cars without brakes do nothing to prevent accidents, why is the government promoting cars😁

Couldn't have said it better!!!
Thank you flat Earth, anti-vaxers....because of you HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!!!:swear:

Stop that right now, the ranters have staked out their claim on common sense, you are not allowed to use it to disagree with nonsense.

As long as you believe god wills everything that happens to you, you'll be fine. Send a text to your white plastic Jesus, he'll tell you all about it. Oh wait hm - he can't, because he's dead. "Why hath thou forsaken me?"

So much for the "god-given immunity" theory.

One American's freedom stops where my nose begins. In other words one's freedom not to vaccinate stops where it endangers my health. That is why smoking is prohibited in restaurants and restricted in public places. And we all conform to this standard!

IF the gov. mandates the wearing of masks inside regardless of whether or not vaccinated, I think the message they will be giving is that there is no use getting the vaccination. I have no intention of wearing my mask anywhere other than medical facilities.
Has anyone been following the death by Covid rate lately? Big deal that there might be a spurt of Delta variant cases, when the death rate is still at an all time low.
I was hesitant on the idea of getting the vaccination since I do not get the flu shot and have never had the flu. BUT, I did get the Covid vaccination to protect my spouse. However, if the gov feels that we must still wear a mask, then I have no intention of getting a booster shot. If the death rate remains low, then the message must be flawed.
Like I have said before, I am NOT going to encourage anyone to get the shot, even though I did get mine. I also will not discourage anyone from obtaining their vaccination.
I will wear a mask IF I feel it prudent, NOT because someone I do not trust tells me that I must. If a convincing argument is made, I will go back to the mask. So far, no one has convinced me.

Thank you. Poetic license:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Other than the N95, ask your doctor if any other mask works. If they say yes, look for a new doctor.

They work...to do what they are designed to do.

REDUCE RISK.

They will reduce your risk of getting the virus. They will reduce your risk of spreading the virus.

They won't prevent anything, except perhaps other people being subjected to your bad breath, if you have it, or seeing your bad teeth, if you have those.

But yes masks work to varying degrees, depending on the mask, in reducing risk of transmission of COVID-19.

Actually many Wuhan lab and US scientists and Dr.s knew exactly what they were creating long before it escaped the lab.

You have no way of knowing if the face mask kept you healthy.

Not true. My son never considered wearing a mask for allergies before CoVID. He only wears it mowing the lawn but it was certainly a nice discovery thanks to the ridiculous mask mandates.

It's just incredulous to me that some people willfully disregard the advice of infectious disease experts who work in this field daily. Defiance of the experts is not very smart!!

The “experts” change their stance quite frequently

No one should ever be forced to inject a foreign substance into their body.
