- I didn’t fully recall the comment about the alleged incident and the way I said it wasn’t much different than how you described it. My point still stands that even if your incident happened as you described it, it must be an extreme case that proves nothing. For if masks were dangerous, Hatzalah would have their hands full.
- I never said masks were comfortable. I said they are not difficult to wear. https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/anti-face-mask-ywncr#post-1924102 If I were like you, I would stop the conversation and scream LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE. But I am not you, so we shall move on. My point still stands that an individual’s lack of comfort isn’t a reason not to wear a mask.
- I don’t believe I said that. I think I said something about no negative effects wearing masks and you and the others jumped on the communication thing and I conceded that that is true. My point still stands that the small difficulties in communication (or larger ones in certain cases) aren’t enough of a reason to not wear masks.
- Correction: I was mistaken about the government health agency’s mistakes regarding masks. There was one tweet by the Surgeon General that was well known at the time, but there were other interviews and announcements that people dug up afterwards, like Dr. Fauci’s USA Today interview. My point still stands that the governments of the world near-unanimously agreed that they were mistaken and masks are important.
- You are welcome to be offended by my extremism. The other day a relative sent me a WhatsApp video of his unvaccinated un-immune family dancing at a chasuna with many other people and zero protections. Those things are happening on a regular basis and should offend you far more than my extreme language in calling them out.
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, can you please for once address my main point: Masks work, everyone should wear them when around other people. The negative effects of mask wearing pale in comparison to the advantages they bring in protected people from COVID-19 You and @syag-lchochma have yet to even begin commenting on that.
