Businesses like In-N-Out Burger are banning staff from wearing masks (unless they provide a medical note)
🇳🇱
Considering the huge amount of harm masks has done to the deaf community, who rely on lip reading, and the excessive nature of mask wearing in general, I have to say I support this.
inb4: Obviously masks serve a purpose, particularly in a medical setting. But improper mask use (particularly all day use of the same mask and reuse) has the potential to spread disease as well. So even from the perspective of reducing the spread of germs its not a particularly good choice given the down sides IMO.
You've established yourself as an inauthentic pro-Republican propaganda account, but I didn't realize that your lies extend specifically into the domain of #COVID #disinformation.
Masks prevent disease transmission. There is absolutely no doubt about this. None.
Should masks be required everywhere? No! Should businesses *ban* their use by employees? Obviously not.
And by the way, "excessive nature of mask wearing in general" is not something that someone would actually say.
@barney LOL typical... I am literally a research scientist who spent the last 2 years researching COVID... god your a fucking moron with this shit
I never said masks dont prevent disease transmission, in fact, I made it quite clear that when handled properly they absolutely do.
I see you totally ignored the immense harm to the deaf masks cause, which was the main point... good job at being a talking head and not even addressing the points raised, excellent job indeed.
Your post was nonsensical. With neither logical nor empirical justification, you expressed your support for an employer's indefensible decision to ban mask wearing by employees.
This is the case whether or not you are "a research scientist who spent the last 2 years researching COVID." A critical principle of online information intake is that the logicality of an argument is a property of the argument, not of the claimed or actual prestige of the person who offers it.
@barney Whatever nonsense you gotta tell yourself. If you arent smart enough to understand the "logic" and arent mature enough to ask and try to understand, then sadly **you** are the one who is the problem here.
Generally when a successful published COVID scientist says something (easily confirmed with the internet today) then you at least try to understand it first, something you are clearly not mature enough to understand, so instead you resort to name calling.
Here's a link to PubMed, the National Library of Medicine's massive, comprehensive database where anyone can look up publications on COVID or any other medically-related subject:
Is there a unifying formulation that might simultaneously explain your brazen, wildly grandiose lies about your professional accomplishments, your incomprehensible assertion that scientific expertise leads you to support mask-banning, and your inauthentic and consciously inaccurate attempts to convince left-leaning voters to propel right-wing extremists into positions of power?
I can only guess, but I think you’re neither an anti-science crusader, nor a committed fascist, nor an adherent of any other extrinsically organized ideology. I think you’re addressing powerfully aversive feelings of self-doubt by concocting these grandiose stories about yourself, and you perceive selling the un-sellable, in any domain, as a way to validate these stories, which are, inescapably, invalid. You harm people, but I don’t think that’s your primary intent at all.
@barney LOL now im lying about my professional accomplishments... Im listed prominently on the website of the lab I run, and we list our publications.... so all your proving is your an idiot who makes acusations without even the slightest effort to validate the nonsense you spew,.. you should be ashamed.
Whatever you gotta tell yourself to sleep at night
@barney Funny how you actually having addressed either of the points I made, b3ecause you cant because they are well established and accepted by virtually every scientist on this planet... Both my points are undeniable.
1) The use of disposal masks for extended periods of time (more than a few hours) has a lot of risk factors for the spread of disease:

2) The use of masks is harmful tot he interests of the deaf community since they are unable to lip read which is essential for their day-to-day functioning (this one shouldnt even need a source).
But yea... take two very reasonable positions, and turn that into me being republican... what an idiotic white-knight bullshit.
@freemo
Your ostensible professional accomplishments are irrelevant to your argument, but they help explain why you chose to make that argument.
The real person's identity you claim (truthfully, I'd guess) is a stunning compendium of wildly grandiose self-promoting exaggerations and outright falsehoods. Sort of a computer-enthusiast George Santos.
