The lack of understanding and sheer ignorance is astonishing is all I will say.
Decrease in Unvaccinateds

The preceding message was brought to you by someone who does his 'research' by reading Facebook memes.
It's funny, but Family Guy probably did the best job of explaining how vaccines work and why people need to get vaccinated.
Do you need a PhD to figure out that 3 microns virus will pass unobstructed through a greater than 3 microns opening?
Next thing you know they start questioning the science behind ass wiping. Surely the Bible didn't mention that one ever needed to wipe their ass. Liberal invention I say. These democrat pussies cannot stand the smell of good Patriotic shit.
The planet has at least 3 Billion people too many for its own good [ and ours}. As in all species case sometimes a culling of the heard is a neccessary evil. An excellent place to start is with the STUPID anti-vaxers and science deniers and conspiracy theory lovers. Let them try their luck against the Covid and the weakest of them will not survive. In that case with a tear I say good riddance to you. Every time I hear that an unvaccinated person dies of the Covid I think that they were to stupid to live- sort of like diving into Niagara Falls.

No.
But if they see that it could reduce 25% of them to pass through they would go on and impose the mask.
If they tell the truth and reveal that it protects only 25% of the time the vast majority of the population are stupid enough to think it's not worth it!!
Another topic that's been discussed 100's of times and it's been shown that masks greatly reduce the amount of spread of the particles.
I told you guys that he'd deny science.
I don't know much about "science ", but I have been measuring stuff all my life(and I'm pretty good at it). It would explain why the Omicron spreads around the world like a wild fire despite of the ALL travelers being masked, as are all in the public places in Canada. Too bad you people can't connect two dots.
Too bad we can't connect the two dots? Really? You think all travelers are in isolation and are masked 100% of the time prior to, during and after they arrive at their destination? It's spreading because it's 4X to 8X more transmissible and not everyone is masked all the time. Obviously wearing masks won't prevent all amounts of transmission, but they certainly help.
Thanks for prefacing the second part of your statement with "I don't know much about science". It explains the rest of your post.
Like you, I don't know much about science. That's why I listen to scientists when it comes to COVID.
Anyone who is an anti-vaxxer or vaccine hesitant should check out the Sorry Anti-Vaxxer website.
In short, it's a list of stories about rabid anti-vaxxers on social media, mostly Americans, who have either died from the virus or have ended up in an ICU because of it.
The postings often detail the anti-vaxxers' stories through their own social media posts. The timelines are virtually all the same and go like this:
- The virus isn't real. This is a "scamdemic"
- The world government is trying to control us!
- Only sheep and stupid "Libs" get vaccinated
- Stay away from me if you are vaccinated!
- The government can't tell me what to do!
- I don't feel well today
- I'm really sick; I am having trouble breathing
- I've had to go into an ICU ... PLEASE SEND PRAYERS!
Then a family member chimes in:
- (Insert name) passed away this morning.
- Please visit the Go Fund Me page we have set up to pay for (insert name's) hospital bills and funeral

It is unbelievable that people are still questioning whether masks help reduce the spread of covid, in the face of all the studies and documented experience out there.
Effectiveness of Mask Wearing to Control Community Spread of SARS-CoV-2

COVID-19 spreads primarily through respiratory droplets exhaled when infected people breathe, talk, cough, sneeze, or sing. Most of these droplets are smaller than 10 μm in diameter, often referred to as aerosols. The amount of small droplets and particles increases with the rate and force of airflow during exhalation (eg, shouting, vigorous exercise). Exposure is greater the closer a person is to the source of exhalations. Larger droplets fall out of the air rapidly, but small droplets and the dried particles formed from them (ie, droplet nuclei) can remain suspended in the air. In circumstances with poor ventilation, typically indoor enclosed spaces where an infected person is present for an extended period, the concentrations of these small droplets and particles can build sufficiently to transmit infection.
Epidemiological investigations have helped quantify the benefit of mask wearing to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 (Table; Supplement). At a hair salon in which all staff and clients were required to wear a mask under local ordinance and company policy, 2 symptomatic, infected stylists attended to 139 clients and no infections were observed in the 67 clients who were reached for interviewing and testing. During a COVID-19 outbreak on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, persons who wore masks experienced a 70% lower risk of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection.4 Similar reductions have been reported in case contact investigations when contacts were masked5 and in household clusters in which household members were masked.6
The problem is that they can infect innocent civilians and consume scarce medical resources before they pass on. How many surgeries have been deferred because these anti-vaxxers are tying medical personnel up and beds?
Speaking of which, Premier Jason Kenney announced today that unvaccinated Albertans are free to have indoor visits with families, attend Christmas parties, etc. over the holiday season. I mean, seriously, how bloody stupid is this guy? Is his memory that short that he doesn't remember that Alberta's healthcare system was on the brink of collapse just three months ago?
That's now an outdated information. The virus is now considered airborne, meaning, unlike droplets, it can float in the air and it does not require liquid as a vehicle. It is 3 microns meaning that the common surgical mask cannot stop it as the gaps are larger than the virus. Simply, you're putting your faith in a colander.It is unbelievable that people are still questioning whether masks help reduce the spread of covid, in the face of all the studies and documented experience out there.

Show it or shut up.
The quotes i included specifically refer to particles without the droplets. And you know what, masks are still effective is their conclusion.
