> be locked down forever and wear a mask because you might spread an influenza strain or you're literally hitler :police_cirno:
> giving someone HIV on purpose is fine though :cirno_shrug:

... logic. :bunhdgoogly:

@icedquinn wait, since when did california start requiring a mask for influenza?

@freemo covid is a weaponized influenza.

the symptoms are indistinguishable from virulent pneumonias. the containment whitepapers are literally all based on "it worked for influenza, so."

@icedquinn Are you kidding me, they are not even remotely similar in structure.

@freemo no, i'm not. the whitepapers hitting the journals justifying masking do not use covid patients. they used influenza data, and say so.

you will have a very hard time finding whitepapers using actual covid patients.

@icedquinn What the hell are you even on about, I review journal papers all the time. Just read one yesterday that uses covid patients and it is hardly out of the ordinary. I have countless journal papers I've read that do....

@freemo and i have many that couldn't be assed to, yet weren't considered any less scientific. :comfyshrug:

@icedquinn

Please link me to "many" such studies so I can see what your on about. Though regardless I hope you realize how beyond absurd the argument is that because there happenes to be some studies out there that use other diseases to infer things about COVID that therefore COVID must not be COVID... But that said i can look and consider.

@icedquinn Just did a quick search, could not find a single peer reviewed study that matches your description of using influenza patients as standins for covid patients... not one of the "many" you claim to exist.
