Yep, exactly right about that. Pandemics, politics, religion, trapping, etc. The problem I see with this pandemic is that nobody actually knows enough about it to know anything about it. It's only been in existence for a year so the scientific world has little baseline on it. And for those that should be in the know, like the previously mentioned scientist from Stanford, who's to say that he's not being influenced or pressured by one political party or another. Follow the dollar, there are always strings attached somewhere. That being said, we are left to make our own opinions based on our own anecdotal experiences. I'm required to wear a mask every minute that I'm at work as an elementary school teacher. I can't say one way or another if wearing a mask has or hasn't done anything to curb Covid but I can with certainty say that all of the precautions that our school has done with quarantining, mask wearing, and classroom sanitation has resulted in much, much fewer other sicknesses than in previous years. Ever since I've been a teacher, for over a decade, the flu season hits hard between December and March. No flu season this year. It's the first year in all of my years teaching that I personally haven't been sick. My three kids never got a cold or flu all winter which has never happened before. So, say what you want about masks, quarantining, and other precautions related to Covid. I have no idea if any of them have made a difference. I will say with certainty, however, that there have been some silver linings that have come out of all of this. Maybe we've learned something more about the flu or how to keep our society, schools, etc., safer for people.

This is what he said on facebook live about mask wearing and such:

"““I have had flu symptoms for the last 10 days. I thought I was dying,” the singer said. “I literally could hardly crawl out of bed the last few days, but I did, I crawled. I’ve never been so sick in all my life,” Nugent said. He went on to suggest there is no point in being tested for COVID-19 and downplayed the need for social distancing, mask wearing and being vaccinated against the virus.

It seems like no ones opinions on medical matters mean anything to anyone--unless they are the same as what you believe.
It isn't just medical matters, it is pretty much everything--human nature.

Tom, this can be construed both ways, you get offended when it don't go your way....yep human nature. I truly believe there are going to be sick people for years that have been wearing masks constantly. Most don't wear clean masks often enough, and there is NO science out there about what it's doing to everyone's immune system. We need to quit calling a pandemic, that don't hold water either. Enjoy yer mask!

He was mistaken-he didnt have covid,he had a relapse of Cat Scratch Fever.

I was vaccinated in January and February. I still wear my mask. It is not political to me. I have nothing to loose by being careful with my life. I rather not be dead wrong.

That does not sound like he is for mask wearing.....

I never paid much attention to what that head banger had to say.

Yeah, he likes to hunt. End of commonality.

I read the article and see no change on his stance. I have a fairly decent ability to comprehend. I would argue, if he called people sheep, he still views them as sheep. Sheep are followers without regard to consideration. Read into it what you want, but if you follow others telling you what to do without thinking for yourself- you are sheep. If you are fearful of a virus, I would wear a fitted respirator designed for keeping virus sized particles out. I am not. I am not living in a spirit of fear. If I get sick, I get sick. My trust is completely in the Lord. I know I am fearfully and wonderfully made and by His stripes I was/am healed. Again, for me death has no sting. I choose to not live in fear and would like others to have the choice how to live their lives without imposing their fear on me and my family. Very simple.

Very well said.

Fauxi and the like come on and basically say you should wear a mask if you love your mom and your children. Do it for others he says. No science. No explanation. Just wear it.

Scientists and universities present factual information and studies that detail how ineffective the masks we use are against a virus (Scuba's pics). Articles get posted with references and evidence. Then they get labeled as kooks and conspiracy theorists. "They wear thin foil hats" says the other side of the issue.

I have seen no one present factual information backed up with evidence and references about how masks are beneficial and prevent covid transmission. The only reference I have seen to the efficacy of masks is "because fauxi said so".

If you want to have an intelligent discussion, present intelligent facts and references. Don't tell intelligent people "because fauxi said so". It will fall on deaf ears and you will look......well.........
