    Do surgeons wear masks from a bin at home depot too? Personally I dont care about the rhetoric, I care about data and the data for masks working were not there. The evidence that lockdowns worked was non existent because they didnt. All the shit you made us do didnt work, and that is obvious if you look at actual number not dumb stories like the one this post is about.

      Surgeons do wear masks in public for exactly the same reason they wear masks in surgery. Idk what your point is exactly. Lockdowns did work as evidenced by infection rates in lockdown counties vs open counties. It’s stupid removed like you thinking someone is “doing this to you” when it’s happening to all of us.

        No lockdowns did not work and we knew that in spring of 2020. I remember watching the CDC data to see what happened and absotely nothing happened. And then later this JPmorgan study came out. Why do you just believe the lies they tell you when there is zero evidence to back it up?

          What lockdowns? The brief stint where people stayed home for the most contagious variant? That worked, but people decided that hacking in each others faces was more fun then staying home.

          Also, The Sun is a rag.

            Cool, the sun didnt do the data analysis…

            And literally that data analysis clearly and directly showed it didnt work, but I dont think you are actually intersested in data or facts.

              So, a bank said, staying home didn’t prevent a contagious disease from spreading… And you didn’t question that? You were like ‘the money people said so’ and that was good enough…

              I mean if you wanted to argue it didn’t work because people didn’t listen and didn’t do the lockdown and went out… That just means people are selfish pricks, not that the science wouldn’t have worked. How do you not piece that together? A bunch of MAGA morons yelling ‘my freedoms’, is largely why it kept going. You trusted a bank over the CDC. Fucking wild.

                  Yeah, because conservative idiots refused to follow any of the advice given, preferring instead to live in denial and spread the disease. The best part of COVID was the Herman Caine Awards. God, that was better than any therapy.

          Wow. You’re linking to a Rupert Murdoch tabloid newspaper to tell us a study from a bank that agrees with the corporate perspective on lockdowns affective their bottom line.

          I can’t imagine why it agrees with you.
