Everything about the response to covid is...Dr. Not Yet Dr. Ag said:nortex97 said:Show me, Mr. Facts, the correlation between cases and hospitalizations/deaths, vs. mask usage. Thank you sir.Dr. Not Yet Dr. Ag said:
I dismissed it because it is an absolutely terrible study. But don't take my word for it, take the word of the journal that published it, and subsequently retracted it.

BTW, that retraction was due to skepticism (politics), not facts/statistics. Nor was it to the only article/analysis I linked. Thx for playing.
Where in any of this discussion were you and I talking about mask efficacy? Seems like a bizarre non sequitur.
Also interesting how your first inclination is to blame "politics" for the paper retraction without any evidence for this and completely ignoring the specific concerns brought up by the journal it was published in. Not everything in life is about politics.
As for the other paper, I don't have time to read 60+ studies regarding a topic any nurse or physician knows to be a non-issue (mask safety). Myself as well as my colleagues wear masks and N95s sometimes >14 hours in a day without any ill effect, outside of a bit of discomfort. We get it, you don't like masks, but let's not make silly arguments about how they are dangerous. If that were the case, we would have healthcare workers dropping like flies.

Wow, this is some impressive goal post shifting. You get your ass run down about how masks are physically harming children, so then you pivot into a mask efficacy debate? I hate masks as much as anyone, but this is a bad look lol
By the way, I thought you said yesterday that you weren't going to engage this any further?

This forum reminds me now of the Rivalries forum before it became the Old Rivalries forum.

We believe progress is made through MORE discussion, not LESS, and we believe that to be true even if the topics are uncomfortable and we occasionally disagree with one another. - TexAgs
The name-calling technique making false associations is a child's game. The propagandist who uses this technique hopes that the audience will reject a person and their argument on this false basis.

Please name a human host virus that has been completely eliminated by humans. Saint Fauci, who helped direct the funding to create it, says it won't ever go away. So this cannot ever be debated again (unless he changes his mind).

If disease eradication is the path we aim for, and restrictions need to remain until that is realized, then those pushing back are correct in their belief that this is about altering social interaction and way of life over the long term.. The time frame is decades.
Oh I wasn't arguing for or against COVID elimination or mandates, I was just answering his question to name a virus that has been eliminated.cisgenderedAggie said:KidDoc said:Smallpox and very very close to Polio.nortex97 said:Fact check; false.Carolin_Gallego said:It may be here to stay, but that's a matter of choice rather than a fact of nature.DFWTLR said:

Smallpox; sister virus still inDallas. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0716-confirm-monkeypox.html
Polio: if it's eradicated then tell the folks planning to spend $5.1 billion this year to eradicate it again. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/09/health/polio-eradication-plan.html
So, what other viruses do you think we've eliminated? Bubonic Plague? Drug resistant tuberculosis?
So smallpox still exists because a different virus that ends in -pox exists?
This is embarrassing to watch.

Yes, oh great turbine medical climate expert, it's another orthopox virus. It's nothing to be sneered at, either.Zobel said:

Good derail attempt, but viruses don't just get eradicated. They evolve. Even if they are human-engineered coronaviruses.
I'm sure it's not to be sneered at. Does that make it smallpox? Does that make smallpox not eradicated?
Does my profession make smallpox not eradicated?
Just say you didn't know that we'd eradicated smallpox and take your lumps like a man. No shame in learning something new.

If you find this forum to be "disgusting," may I suggest posting in another forum on this site where people are more likely to believe Tucker Carlson stories, debunked studies, and that bacteria = viruses? You may be happier there.
