    And the counter-argument is always the same: "But free speech".

    It's a private platform, they have every right to remove dangerous medical disinformation. Thousands of people have so far been injured and even killed trying fake Corona and medical cures.

    As for the free speech aspect, for all their rhetoric, these conspiracy believers can be among the worst offenders, just here; repeatedly trying to shut down scrutiny or challenges to their claims, blocking posters, openly calling for public forums to be turned into private echo chambers, etc

    Masks stop 99.9% of large Covid linked droplets according to this recent study

    https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.201663

    And before the anti-maskers chime in, no we don't wear masks 24/7, it's simply not feasible. Covid also spreads in other ways. It's about reducing spread and lowering the R number.

    Are people still wearing masks to protect those around them from spreading Covid to them instead of staying at home and isolating if they really think they are a threat to people spreading Covid?

    When you take the vaccine will you continue to wear a mask to protect people as you won’t know who has or hasn’t got the vaccine yet or cant?

    You should set up a survey with one of the reputable survey companies if you want to get a half decent idea of what people are doing.

    I would hazard a guess that they wear them both to protect others and themselves to a lesser extent.

    People have lives to live. Why would they lock themselves in isolation unless that have covid?

    You're right. It isn't factual and I corrected my mistake.

    The current figure is more than 1.7 million.

    I apologise for the confusion.

    How many died because of covid not died with covid ?

    Tried to a poll here but it was pulled

    The majority consensus and what government etc are saying is the mask is to protect others, not the wearer
    So the assumption is if you wear it you assume you have it

    Why would a healthy person wear a mask?

    Depends on the results of the vaccine transmissibility, obviously.

    We just do it to annoy gullible people that fall for conspiracies like yourself. We are one big collective and speak as one :)

    1.7 million. WHO guidelines are that only deaths where covid is a major factor are recorded as covid deaths. But you know that already, you just believe grifters.

    If the people are vaccinated then they are safe hence no need for masks surely as they are not at risk of covid if vaccinated surely? If thats the case then the vaccine is pointless because it won't stop you getting covid if you still need a mask

    Why so serious?

    No matter what I responded you would have an issue with because you want to have an issue. So I went with the more humorous response.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,203 ✭✭✭✭Lex Luthor


    As they were excluded from testing for transmission interruption, it’s highly likely it won’t prevent

    I thought what is happening is nothing really to be worried about and so there is no need for vaccines. Make up your mind!

    Where have you been for the last 9 months? Buried in alt-right sites? Until we know that vaccinated people cannot spread the virus they should wear a mask. The vaccine stop you from getting sick, do you understand this basic concept. My 6 year old does, will i get her to explain it to you? If, as so far seems to be the case, the vaccine drops transmissions rates then we won't need masks.

    You don't understand what masks are for. I dont wear a mask for me, I wear it so people, even people like you, won't get sick.

    Thinking of the guys who took the swine flu vaccine and got narcolepsy I won't be going near this

    Sympathetic with the conspiracy theorists on this. Media headlines and articles seem far too co-ordinated with very little dissent. The great-reset creeps are openly stating it should be used to advance their agenda so not sure if that counts as a CT

    Government indemnifying big pharma for potential ill effects was another major red flag. As someone who's been over-taxed for almost a decade due to the mistakes of the Irish government that was treasonous as far as I'm concerned

    The increased risk of narcolepsy due to vaccination was 1 in 18400 or 0.005%.[5]

    If you get covid what's the risk to you?

    Also, what is the risk to those around him/her or their contacts, or their contacts contacts, etc?

    There were over 80 known cases, people with their lives ruined.

    This vaccine is way more experimental. For all we know if might make us more prone to brain cancer after 5 years. Unlikely of course, but anything unresearched I consider a greater risk than that of me contracting covid. Which I possibly already have at the moment.

    It mimics a covid19 immune response. Logically getting covid would be far worse with the same long term implications.

    Vaccines aren't 100% free of issues. Nor is covid. It's a numbers game.

    Again, if you get covid what's the risk to you?

    Have you heard what Luke O’Neill said?

    Masks every year during flu season

    What’s your thoughts on that?

    Apparently flu has disappeared but he will still try having everyone wearing one

    It sure is

    It could be that people will be coerced into having it in order to take part in the new normal Health Passport Ireland society, whereby doing almost anything, if how the creators of Health Passport Ireland envisage their app being used (see the promo video) becomes a reality, will hinge on the light flashing green.

    What's the point of this question? Do you want me to risk my health so some spoiled boomer can live for an extra 6 months before keeling over from whatever underlying condition they have?
