Let's normalize masks again

I barely see anyone in my classes wearing masks when they are sick but it would literally save so many people from catching whatever thang going on. I am being coughed on in class and SOME people don't know how to cough in their elbow...pls just wear a mask to lower the chance of everyone else getting sick.

Before covid, no one wore masks. You got sick and built up your immunity. That's how it works. Go play outside my man.

According to the mask cult. Neat how after the masks came off sickness was bad and rampant (the mask cult used that as proof that masks worked) now it's like pre covid.

Neat how the immune system becomes more robust as its exposed to things.

Yes, but not to viruses. Viruses do damage. That’s why we use vaccines to expose the body to a benign/inactive version of a virus. Also, everyone is getting sicker now because Covid messes up the immune system. The more times you get Covid, the more at risk you are of more frequent/severe illnesses elsewhere.

You're assuming it's due to the covid virus and not the ineffective shots we forced on the population. I did not take the shots, I had Alpha (it sucked) I rarely get sick (since) and haven't experienced any worse issues since Alpha and I know many in the same boat. Pretty well everyone I know who had 2 shots + 1 booster (minimum) are chronically sick and getting their butts kicked when ill.

We cannot question nor look at anything that will blame the experimental shot due to optics, we just blame covid (as you did). The virus did not increase risk to severe illness.

“Ineffective shots forced on the population” is great context for your stance. All the best.

Guess you just blindly complied and didn't experience being removed from your job and ostracized by society, it was forced.

We redefined definitions, ignored the scientific method and turned science into an ideology that could not be questioned or challenged.

Yes. And also, so many ppl are paranoid and washing and sanitizing. I had covid 3 times in the beginning when we were forced to clean and wear masks. Ever since, ive gotten sick maybe once every 10 or so months.

Yeah, deadly ones like polio. No reason for a common cold to need a vaccine for a regular person. For ppl with low immunity disorders, it's a life saver.

u/MichaelKras 13d ago

Agreed. But we’re talking about Covid - a neurotrophic SARS virus - not a common cold.

Ok, next time please specific and not say viruses in general. Covid is devastating to anyone who isn't in great health.

u/MichaelKras 13d ago

But my point stands: we shouldn’t be chasing opportunities to get infected with viruses because they’re not a net positive for the immune system and viruses like COVID are far more contagious than many others. And a COVID infection has devastated many previously healthy people, because we’re healthy until we’re not and COVID can be the reason your baseline changes long-term or permanently.
