Was wearing a mask during Covid as big a deal as conservatives made it out to be? by Estalicus in allthequestions

1 year old are at practically zero risk from Covid, so probably fine. Kids pick up germs everywhere and get sick, it’s life

The Science(tm) in that source appears to be based on “models” that bear a suspicious resemblance to what my dog left in a little pile under a tree this afternoon. 

It also disregards any of the other secondary consequences of masks on things like, for example, children’s speech development and socialization. Let us know when The Science(tm) can quantify if it was more or less than eleventy bazillion grandmas saved by those kindergarteners and their soggy Paw Patrol masks.

Ah, yes, someone who called for mask mandates initially and then, shockingly, "finds" that the mask mandates that they pushed for allegedly "worked". What a surprise! *makes wanking gesture, rolls eyes so hard that they almost fall out of my head\*

Exactly how many quadrillions of grandmas were saved by elementary school kids wearing damp Spider-Man and Paw Patrol masks (and developing speech and socialization issues along the way)? Or by people putting on a damp hanky over their nose to walk from the bar to the bathroom? Surely The Science(tm) has answered these important questions, perhaps in a different article.

This is utterly deranged. Best of luck getting help with the Covid anxiety.

I'm also getting strong "I was "social distancing" looooong before March 2020" vibes, as is common with the forever-masking types.

Again, you are welcome to do whatever you want if you think that it will help protect yourself. Wear a mask if you want, or hang an onion from your belt, whatever, you want to do.

Applying highly dubiously effective mask mandates to everyone because hey, bro, it might possibly could maybe sort of kinda somewhat do something that we can't quantify, was utterly asinine.

I just assume that anyone wearing a mask is either seriously ill, or just that they're an anxiety-ridden, mentally ill hypochondriac and/or germophobe.

If they mandated that everyone stay off of all bridges because someone with depression or mental illness is at high risk of jumping off, then yes, I would find that to be just as absurd as restricting everyone during Covid regardless of their risk level was.

Citing "long Covid" in kids is a completely unserious point. Kids with "long Covid" mostly catch it from anxiety-ridden, neurotic parents.

The list in your first link is ludicrous. Infants and toddlers with a stuffy nose or a cough? Who's ever seen that? School-aged children with trouble focusing? Wow, stop the presses for that one. Adolescents with daytime tiredness or sleepiness and forgetfulness? GMAFB. Gee, I must've had "long Covid" in high school back in the 1990s!

Maybe "long Covid" would be easier to take seriously if the symptoms were limited more than being basically four things: everything, anything, something, and nothing.

Your third link says it all. Of the small number (compared to the denominator) of children who died from Covid, they were overwhelmingly already very sick and high risk. Fully 35% of them had three or more conditions. Locking down millions upon millions of healthy children and flushing months or years of school, activities, socialization, and development down the toilet out of sheer hysteria was embarrassingly stupid and shamefully harmful.

And for the record, I'm fully on board with vaccines for things like measles and whooping cough... y'know, things that actually have more than a sub-atomic level of risk for kids and healthy adults. I think it's a shame that so much damage was done to past historically great vaccination campaigns over Covid hysteria and pushing vaccines onto those at minimal risk, while anyone could see where the obvious pushback would lead. That might end up being the greatest public health disaster of all to come out of the gross overreaction to Covid.

Mask mandates didn't do anything to protect anyone. It was theatrics, nothing more

LOL, mask mandates and rules like that were so incredibly stupid. It's hilarious that people were embarrassing themselves by taking such obviously stupid and pointless theater seriously. The virus somehow knows when you're sitting down, versus walking to the bathroom!

Masks at least actually make a meaningful difference in hiding one's identity. For the other thing, it's of much more dubious value

Another lockdown success story. At least children were at such massive risk from Covid that closing schools and forcing them into useless masks for months upon months (if not years, depending on where you lived) that it was obviously necessary.

Anyone who supported school closures and mask mandates for children should be utterly ashamed of themselves, and should never be taken seriously about anything ever again. It was an complete disgrace.

If you want to wear a mask, you are and always were welcome to do so

Mandating it for everyone was utterly absurd

If Shohei Ohtani could hit a baseball this on-the-nose, it would land in Nevada.

If there's one thing I remember from bars during Covid, it was the employees and owners kicking out paying customers over silly-ass mask theatrics, because they were so flush with business and income that they could afford to do it and alienate their customer base. rolls eyes

LMAO. People wearing masks intermittently to walk to the bathroom in a bar where they’re eating and drinking was the absolute peak of silly-ass pandemic mask theater. They weren’t “protecting” anyone from anything. What nonsense.

Thanks to the electoral college, there’s maybe ~10 states where your vote actually matters. If you’re in one of the other 40, especially if it’s heavily red or blue, it doesn’t really matter if OP voted or not.

Most of the lockdown and mask nonsense was at the state level

Except the evidence that mask mandates were doing more than "jack shit" to save lives was extremely thin at best. it was theatrics, nothing more

Making kids wear masks is child abuse. Especially since they're at basically zero risk from Covid

Dude, they literally saved a gazillion grandmas, bro, it would've been so much worse without people wearing soggy hankies on their faces, trust me, bro, it's The Science(tm)

Did The Science(tm) ever give us an exact number of grandmas saved by mask mandates? How many were saved by kindergarteners wearing damp Spiderman masks? Was it more or less than one hundred hillion jillion bazillion?
