Isn't it odd that Republicans who downplayed the pandemic and mocked people who wore masks are jumping the line to get their vaccine?..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.https://news.yahoo.com/anger-reublican-lawmakers-played-down-152356887.html

I think the word there instead of 'odd' might be 'predictable'! πŸ˜‰

Yes indeed. Just like these same people who snivel about public assistance such as food stamps, aren't bashful about lining up for their share of the welfare pie. There are just as many Conservatives on public assistance as there are Liberals.

And they wonder why they are called hypocrites - πŸ™„

@mchill..............Hypocrites indeed, seems as if the most
narrow minded people are wrapped in an
American flag and carrying a bible.

Isn't it odd that 90% or more have been wearing masks for almost a year and we never stopped it?

Isn't it odd that 90% or more people wearing masks hasn't stopped this new UK strain of covid and the massive increase in infections?

Listen up you sheep.

The world had nothing to offer so they used the mask idea as a comfort blanket.
To make people feel safer.
If the government didn't say "something" then all out panic would have happened.

I haven't seen a maskless person in months and months.
So why the massive increase in cases and a new covid strain?

So what is your big new idea?
Biden says..."wear a mask"

We've been doing that for a year retard.

What else ya got?

Oh ya I forgot...
Y'all gunna take the credit for the vaccines that TRUMP pushed for. πŸ™„

Trump's only contribution to the vaccine development was coming up with a juvenile operation name that I would have expected out of an 8 year old.

Do you really think that vaccine development would not have happened if someone else was president ??
Are you that daft ?? Really ?? Really ??

..............You people are really out of touch
Far from pushing for a vaccine, TRUMP downplayed
THE VIRUS and ignored and stifled the MEDICAL EXPERTS.
TRUMP PUSHED TO REVERSE THE ELECTION, NOT FOR THE VACCINE

“Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!” US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams complained Saturday on Twitter.

“They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!”

https://nypost.com/2020/03/01/us-surgeon-general-begs-people-to-stop-buying-masks-amid-coronavirus-panic/

US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams later said the opposite was true and said he mislead the public because his knowledge changed. He actually compared his flip flop (The Hill's "Rising" is my source) to doctors using leaches and cocaine and heroin to treat people in the past and learned from mistakes.

He gave very specific reasons that masks don't work though. Did those reasons change? Nobody has said so that I am aware of. So how do we know he wasn't telling the truth the first time and lied later? It looks that way to me.

Are you claiming he made it up? He gave specific reasons why.
At best you are defending a liar. He cannot be telling the truth both times.
If cloth masks are adequate protection as we are told, why didn't he tell us to make our own masks? Because cloth face masks are worthless, that is why.

He was telling the truth the first time. Later they told him to lie and say masks were good so the virus would spread faster and that is exactly what happened.

Why doesn't anyone ask him what changed? Was it a peer reviewed scientific study? If not, what changed his mind? Inquiring minds want to know.

@Metal-Brain
Go back to the snot and poop filled hole you came from. Your comments are worthless, indeed less than worthless, since ALL you post are ultrarighwingnut sites and then when Poderable called you out on that you go 'SO WHAT" as if misinformation BS is just FINE as long as that crap agrees with your own twisted logic and if they say something you don't agree with, they are 'FAKE NEWS'.

That is why we should stop responding to your ridiculous posts.

For the umpteenth time, masks are only part of a solution. Masks don't stop the spread of the virus if only three people are wearing them in a closely packed crowd of a hundred. A high degree of social compliance is required for them to have any measurable effect. Furthermore, high-compliant mask wearing by itself isn't effective in controlling the spread of the virus. It is only one piece of a complex policy of measures, all of which require clear leadership from the top and high-compliance across the board. None of which happened in the USA: there was no leadership, no coherent policy from the top, the states were left to fend for themselves, Trump dashed the federal pandemic response team which would have coordinated a nationwide distribution of resources, Trump lied about the virulence of the contagion, mass-spreader rallies and events were held with no masks or other protection, compliance was staggeringly low. Given all those minus-points, it was a foregone conclusion that masks alone wouldn't have any measurable effect. Nothing odd about it; just plain stupidity.
