REGARDING:
“Top medical journals admit the purpose of the public wearing masks is calm anxiety.”
If true, please cite those actual journals.
If you don’t, that will also provide a kind of answer.
David for Reagan’s “Trust but verify”
(I loved Ronald Reagan.)
hitsbuff, may God bless you and your family and your CHOICE. I hope you are right.
Top medical journals admit the purpose of the public wearing masks is calm anxiety.
People with common sense know that it is about control. Dictators issue edicts to their subjects. Leaders of a free society, who govern by the consent of the people, issue guidelines. You can choose to let others mandate that you restrict your breathing if you like. My body, my choice.
hits buff, the government requires you to wear clothing in public but since you are not subservient I guess you just go naked everywhere.
How stupid would you like the doctor who is operating on you or your love ones not to wear a mask because he or she might get a rash
It is not about being selfish and it is not about health and staying safe. A Mask requirement is to teach every person shall be subservient to all govt officials and rules or whims no matter how absurd it has nothing to do with health safety. Mask has no point other than teach subservience, submission, and silence.
If you can’t see that by now, there is probably no sense in further discussion. Keep wearing your mask, and breathing your own CO2 exhaust, virus, and bacteria trapped in the warm humid environment around your mouth and lower face. Ben Franklin had it right with regard to “safety and security”.
if you get a rash use a different material, if you get short of breath u probably get that way even when you do not wear a mask. as far as the death rate I would not worry about that because it is so small unless it is you or one of your family members( wife, daughter, son ,mother, etc.) so be selfish and do not wear a mask. it is your RIGHT!!!!
yeah hitsbuff, I read where oxygen molecules are too big to pass through masks but co2 molecules can pass through and that is very dangerous. masks are definitely unsafe.
@Somedude: Feel free to keep believing that one, lol.
@histbuff
Prolonged wearing of cloth or surgical masks poses no danger to oxygen levels.
Many people wearing them are short of breath, getting rashes around lower faces and experiencing regular head aches they didn’t have before. The body is rejecting them. The potential to break down people’s own immune systems wearing these things and decreasing their oxygen levels to dangerous numbers is a bigger danger to most than a virus, especially a virus with a less than 1% fatality rate. Masks have become a germ-harboring false security binkie which may indeed increase health risks.
