I’m curious what the maskdebaters have to say about the CDC recommendations today. Are they part of the plandemic? Does the fact that the world is flat, make your germs fall straight down? Covering your mouth during a sneeze is a commie plot? Bill Gates hacked thermometers to read higher for cold blooded reptilian overlord leaders? Where are we today?

With all due respect but if you are not trolling you must be a bit dim in the head. Events such as family gatherings are where transmissions happen. I managed to fly throughout Europe including all the hot spots this last spring and Summer. Wore masks indoors where distancing was not assured. No infection. My brother comes over last month for my son's birthday and infects my wife and me. Of course no masks we're worn by any of us in the house. My brother was one of only two guests as we wanted to reduce the risk to everyone. My brother didn't know then that he was infected. He became symptomatic one day later. He then got tested.

I am not suggesting my little anecdote proves anything but it is completely in line with what the vast majority of expects are saying about transmissions. They mainly happen when people are in direct face to face contact without distancing and without masks.

As usual, it’s not a reliable source:

I used to wonder how people fall for things like the Nigerian prince email scam, but after seeing some of the nonsense posted at APC I don’t wonder anymore.

That’s not what the Wikipedia article says, but it is funny that you consider Wikipedia a “reliable source”. It says the articles are not yet peer reviewed, but peer review has no bearing on whether something is true or not, or whether the “science” is accurate.

Sigh...

What’s even funnier, is right in Mesabah’s own link is the following header:

Masked countries? I bet we have the highest number of unmasked people for a masked country ... it might be contrary to medical advice or common sense but it’s all about individual rights. Went into Cabelas yesterday ... about 80% of the customers were exercising their rights ... morons in my opinion.

Once again what you quote doesn’t say the site is unreliable, it says the articles have yet to be peer reviewed. Peer review does not make something reliable.

Oh? I guess I’ll quote it again:

Sounds to me like it’s not a reliable source of information for making decisions or policy for clinical medicine. If you think anything on there can somehow be used to create public health policies, I’m all ears.

NE_Pilot

Once again, if you think peer review is meaningful in determining whether something is reliable, you are mistaken.
