If you are trying not to say that there is a conspiracy then you need to try harder to not suggest there is a conspiracy.

Also claims on the one hand that masks don't work and on another hand that they stop the healthy from being infected (oh I wonder how they could do that when they "don't work"???) which means no "lovely natural" herd immunity and means we'll have to take the "evil vacceeeens". Basically an anti-vaxxer spreading false information that masks don't work when his real fear is that they work all too well.

You'd need to make a better case for helmets to be worn in cars as standard. Seatbelts and airbags do more to reduce injury, whilst also not impairing ability in anyway. Wearing a helmet in a racing cars, open cockpit or closed, makes sense as far as limiting the risk of injury to the driver. They are all driving forwards, in the same direction, at similar speeds, nobody is coming at them from side road and there is no kids screaming at them from the back seat... but the risk of extreme injury is significantly higher for the driver than crashes driving at 30mph around the streets.

Everyone has their own opinions and thoughts. :rolleyes: Stop trying to patronize me just because you disagree with mine. :pac: Perfectly okay for someone to question the validity of a virus that has not even killed a percentage of our population yet the whole world was almost on lockdown.
GT89 wrote: » If masks are an effective tool can someone answer this question? Why have covid cases gone up since masks became a requirement on public transport and in shops? That would suggest either a) masks are completely useless in stopping the spread or b) masks actually contribute in the spread of cv19.
