code99 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 According to Jonathan Van-Tam "people must learn to manage Covid risks'', and he no longer wears a face mask as a matter of course...perhaps the following article will change his mind? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jul/01/herd-immunity-covid-virus-vaccine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - only joking, I read the whole thing. I'm not sure why you think that article would encourage a change in the mind of JVT, especially around face masks. JVT doesn't wear one because he knows they don't change a thing, but he can't say that out loud. Edited July 1 by TheTeapot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite obviously, masks do make a difference, otherwise medical professionals including dentists would not wear them. The purpose of wearing a mask is not only to protect the wearer but more importantly to protect other people, especially vulnerable people. Anyway, you can lead a horse to water but you can not make it drink...if it is stubborn and silly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it bullshit, covid is airborne wear a proper mask not a surgical mask and you won't get or at least very, very little chance of getting it and if you avoid crowded indoor areas you almost certainly will not get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
