You're living in a media created bubble that's affecting your viewpoint of reality and creating a false perception. Sure, all your Fakebook friends appear like they are towing the line for the establishment's narrative of pathological egalitarianism, for fear of being accused of wrongthink, which then serves to solidify your erroneous confirmation bias.

When uncensored, most comment sections of any news platform will at least balance in opinion or swing right depending on the topic. Reading censored Reddit reveals the immense amount of effort that has to go into suppressing alternative viewpoints.

Have you ever asked yourself what is so dangerous about these alternative viewpoints of reality that your overlords go to such great lengths to keep you from seeing them? Maybe these viewpoints, in part or whole, are a more truthful reality that doesn't serve your best interests, but rather their own.

Genetics are (most) everything. Environment plays a minor role, and those gullible enough to of been led to believe otherwise are complicit in promoting a non scientific faith based belief system that exists for political purposes.....for instance throwing more money at a symptom of a problem instead of addressing the root cause of it.

There a lot of interests lined up at the government pig trough to slurp up a wide array of funding for economic-educational programs that have not to this day fundamentally fixed the problem.

Zahn · 2020-07-27T03:22:01+00:00

Slandering someone as a racist doesn't negate a premise. If you can't view your opponent with some modicum of humanity without resorting to slurs, you are then engaging in the same behavior you assume "racists" are guilty of.

You exist in a comfort zone of denial. As society continues marching into the destruction of social cohesion, more people start asking why...and they will find the answer. I don't do Voat, and don't need to. Any uncensored platform embraces a more truthful explanation for the sad state of the world.

It's amusing watching your growing discomfort at coming to terms with this. We all have coping mechanisms, and you are no exception. Just keep telling yourself comforting lies. But, inevitably you will have to face the fact that you have miscalculated trends and intentionally let yourself be misinformed about the ruling classes narrative.

There was something "off" about Socks. I understand that he would often try to back up his left wing nut beliefs with an "argument". HOWEVER all of his arguments were very "scripted" almost as if copied off of Snopes or otherwise the arguments sounded to the trained ear as if they were pre-scripted "auto-responses' to any opposition to main stream narrative.

I don't mind having opposition to beliefs, but it's quite literally impossible for anyone considering the preponderance of counter-narrative theories presented from Saiddit users to then yet still parrot Buzzfeed/Snopes level scripted reactions like he did, without at least...taking a step back to re-assess their beliefs on any random topics. Humans would do that, but maybe not Ai's.

TLDR...Socks was 90+% likely to be 1. a moronic idioacracy level left wing nut. 2. A paid or un-paid (lol) shill.

If you think that illegal immigrants are just rolling through easy street, working great jobs, getting free healthcare, and getting into all the best jobs and schools without any effort, you are out of touch with reality. Living in fear of deportation & taking the jobs that other people are not willing to work for low wages is not my version of an ideal life.

There is zero scientific evidence that wearing a mask, especially for more extended periods, protects us. However, several studies found significant problems with wearing one. Side-effects range from headaches to increased airway resistance, carbon dioxide accumulation, hypoxia, to more severe complications.

A mask is a petri dish for airborne pathogens. If you are not changing masks at maximum every 90 minutes you are creating a nice warm moist habitat for germs an inch from your face. Moreover, without proper glove use, eye protection, and an actual seal around nose and mouth the mask is entirely superficial and ineffective in preventing the spread of pathogens. Not to mention the evidence indicating overexposure to exhaust gasses and concentrations of Co2 with some masks that can be damaging to the immune system.

Oh....and about the ubiquitous moisture droplets that makes Covidiots say..."but, but, but I 'm protecting you from me". More research is pointing out that these viruses are primarily infectious via dry Bio-Aerosols! Yep, and much smaller than your pathetic mask, so you're pretty much spreading it ALL THE TIME.

Teller's 2009 article "Aerosol transmission of influenza A virus: a review of new studies" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2843947/). Teller addresses this directly in the closing discussion.

Increasing evidences point towards a role for aerosol transmission in the spread of influenza (and other similar viruses), at least over short distance where exposure to both aerosol and large droplets occurs. [...] This distinction of ‘short-range aerosol transmission’ is not merely academic; aerosolized particles would readily penetrate or circumvent ordinary surgical masks, and penetration of aerosolized influenza viruses into the LRT where they can initiate infection would account well for the association of aerosol transmission and severe disease.

.....As an additional consideration, it may well be that aerosol transmission is responsible for the most severe cases of disease involving viral infection of the LRT.

Fedi, tiresome parroted argument that's a favorite of pro censorship left wing nuts. It was already determined by higher courts that when a private corporations "property" had become a common enough public space, that the corporation could not violate citizens rights such as assembly, and speech. Twitter and Facebook are certainly at this stage.

Zahn · 2020-08-21T04:36:04+00:00

Fedi thinks himself to be on a crusade to enlighten those whom he believes to be heathens from their barbarous practise of having alternative viewpoints.

He is so infatuated with his indoctrination into the main stream normie narrative that he has become a modern day Don Quioxte cluelessly embarking on his quest that is predestined to fail.

And he becomes a source of amusing puzzlement for bystanders. Why would a normie burden himself with this doomed task?

Is he so dense that he won't allow any of his precious false narratives to even be challenged?

Which is why most people just have to assume he's being compensated, because no one in their right mind would do any of these things for free or pretend to hold onto such obvious false beliefs.

I think this is a good idea to create balanced information. IF the platform has reached a certain size, ie...Facebook, Twitter etc. The problem is that with their overreaching bias, they are wrongfully influencing normies with their disinformation campaigns to affect national sentiment.

The precedent here is: back when railroad barons ruled the west, many towns popped up that were on the railroad corporations property. These barons weren't always very fair in their dealings with employees and the public. Inevitably the people that lived in these towns became very vocal about mistreatment. Whereupon, the corporation booted and banned them from their towns.

A court ruling on the case determined that once a town reached a certain size, even though it was owned by a corporation, was at that point considered public domain. And that constitutional rights, such as freedom of speech, could not be abrogated. The parallel here with Twitter is very similar.

It was an oversight for me to paint this with such a broad brush stroke. Yet, Socks was okay injecting defenseless children with an experimental "vaccine". Many shills of his caliber echo this sentiment often. It is un-ethical to use the vulnerable and children as guinea pigs for corporate profiteering. Therefore, people who advocate for this then fail to measure up to a basic modicum of accepted universal human behavior that would protect vulnerable members of society from potentially or provably dangerous things. Hence, the deserved subhuman label.

It's a boring but rewarding hobby for me to spot shills in the wild. Sort of like bird watching perhaps. There are so many different varieties, tactics and flavors of forum community disrupters. But no Comrade, I have no interest in hunting down people that simply disagree. There is a time and space for everyone to co-exist peacefully with meaningful discussion.

Surgeons at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, recognizing the lack of evidence supporting the use of masks, ceased requiring them in 2010 for anesthesiologists and other non-scrubbed personnel in the operating room. “Our decision to no longer require routine surgical masks for personnel not scrubbed for surgery is a departure from common practice. But the evidence to support this practice does not exist,” wrote Dr. Eva Sellden. https://pubs.asahq.org/anesthesiology/article/113/6/1447/9572/Is-Routine-Use-of-a-Face-Mask-Necessary-in-the

According to a University of New South Wales, the widespread use of masks by healthcare workers may put them at increased risk of respiratory illness and viral infections, and their global use should be discouraged.

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-04-masksdangerous-health.html

In the British Medical Journal 2015, “Over three times, the risk of contracting influenza-like illness if a cloth mask is used versus no mask at all.” Contaminated masks and masks holding moisture and pathogen retention can increase the risk of infection.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4420971/

A 2016 study in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology found 97% of particles penetrated cloth masks, and 44% of particles penetrated medical masks. They reported that cloth masks are only marginally beneficial in protecting individuals from particles less than 2.5 micrometers.

https://www.nature.com/articles/jes201642

As referenced in the New England Journal of Medicine, the size of Coronavirus particles varied between 0.06 micrometers and 0.14 micrometers.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2001017

Cloth and surgical masks do not have a fit test. When worn, gaps around the edges allow small particles to enter the respiratory system. Also, according to the May 2010 edition of PLoS One, lack of eye protection was a primary risk factor of SARS-CoV transmission.

Wearing a mask for seven hours straight may not be safe. Carbon dioxide (CO2) rebreathing has been recognized as a concern in the Ergonomics Journal.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23514282/

In the Head and Neck Pain Journal, most healthcare workers develop de novo PPE‐associated headaches or exacerbation of their pre‐existing headache disorders.

https://headachejournal.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/head.13811

The Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control Journal demonstrated, “Breathing through N95 mask materials have been shown to impede gaseous exchange and impose an additional workload on the metabolic system of pregnant healthcare workers. The benefits of using an N95 mask to prevent serious emerging infectious diseases should be weighed against potential respiratory consequences associated with extended N95 respirator usage.

https://aricjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13756-015-0086-z

Masks also hamper oxygen intake; the body and the immune system require optimal levels of oxygen to feed cells and fight off illness, including Covid19. When studied, surgeons who wore surgical masks had a decrease in blood O2 saturation and an increase in pulse rates of the surgeons after the operations due to surgical mask usage.

According to the Journal of Biomedicines, our oxygen concentration is closely associated with cell survival and immune functioning, making one more susceptible to illness.

Jacobs, J. L. et al. (2009) “Use of surgical face masks to reduce the incidence of the common cold among health care workers in Japan: A randomized controlled trial,” American Journal of Infection Control, Volume 37, Issue 5, 417 – 419. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19216002

N95-masked health-care workers (HCW) were significantly more likely to experience headaches. Face mask use in Healthcare work was not demonstrated to provide benefit in terms of cold symptoms or getting colds.

Cowling, B. et al. (2010) “Face masks to prevent transmission of influenza virus: A systematic review,” Epidemiology and Infection, 138(4), 449-456. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/epidemiology-and-infection/article/face-masks-to-prevent-transmission-of-influenza-virus-a-systematic- review/64D368496EBDE0AFCC6639CCC9D8BC05

None of the studies reviewed showed a benefit from wearing a mask, in either Healthcare work or community members in households (H). See summary Tables 1 and 2 therein.

bin-Reza et al. (2012) “The use of masks and respirators to prevent transmission of influenza: a systematic review of the scientific evidence,” Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses 6(4), 257–267. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/j.1750-2659.2011.00307.x

“There were 17 eligible studies. … None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.”

Smith, J.D. et al. (2016) “Effectiveness of N95 respirators versus surgical masks in protecting health care workers from acute respiratory infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis,” CMAJ Mar 2016 https://www.cmaj.ca/content/188/8/567

“We identified six clinical studies … . In the meta-analysis of the clinical studies, we found no significant difference between N95 respirators and surgical masks in associated risk of (a) laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection, (b) influenza-like illness, or (c) reported work-place absenteeism.”

Offeddu, V. et al. (2017) “Effectiveness of Masks and Respirators Against Respiratory Infections in Healthcare Workers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,” Clinical Infectious Diseases, Volume 65, Issue 11, 1 December 2017, Pages 1934–1942, https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/65/11/1934/4068747

“Self-reported assessment of clinical outcomes was prone to bias. Evidence of a protective effect of masks or respirators against verified respiratory infection (VRI) was not statistically significant”; as per Fig. 2c therein:

Radonovich, L.J. et al. (2019) “N95 Respirators vs Medical Masks for Preventing Influenza Among Health Care Personnel: A Randomized Clinical Trial,” JAMA. 2019; 322(9): 824–833. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2749214

“Among 2862 randomized participants, 2371 completed the study and accounted for 5180 HCW-seasons. ... Among outpatient health care personnel, N95 respirators vs medical masks as worn by participants in this trial resulted in no significant difference in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”

Long, Y. et al. (2020) “Effectiveness of N95 respirators versus surgical masks against influenza: A systematic review and meta-analysis,” J Evid Based Med. 2020; 1- 9. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jebm.12381

“A total of six RCTs involving 9,171 participants were included. There were no statistically significant differences in preventing laboratory-confirmed influenza, laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infections, laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection, and influenza-like illness using N95 respirators and surgical masks. Meta-analysis indicated a protective effect of N95 respirators against laboratory-confirmed bacterial colonization (RR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.43-0.78). The use of N95 respirators compared with surgical masks is not associated with a lower risk of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”

THE Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, after many studies, have come to this conclusion: Wearing masks will not reduce SARS-CoV-2.

Coronavirus can enter through the eyes.

"We did not find evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility." https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article

Cities with mask mandates are also the ones with the highest death counts.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/07/new-york-times-attempt-promote-face-masks-backfires-shows-widespread-china-coronavirus-cases-wherever-masks-worn/

Ritter et al in 1975, found that “the wearing of a surgical face mask had no effect upon the overall operating room environmental contamination.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1157412/

Ha’eri and Wiley, in 1980, applied human albumin microspheres to the interior of surgical masks in 20 operations. At the end of each operation, wound washings were examined under the microscope. “Particle contamination of the wound was demonstrated in all experiments.” https://europepmc.org/article/med/7379387

Laslett and Sabin, in 1989, found that caps and masks were not necessary during cardiac catheterization. “No infections were found in any patient, regardless of whether a cap or mask was used,” they wrote. Sjøl and Kelbaek came to the same conclusion in 2002. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ccd.1810170306

In Tunevall’s 1991 study, a general surgical team wore no masks in half of their surgeries for two years. After 1,537 operations performed with masks, the wound infection rate was 4.7%, while after 1,551 operations performed without masks, the wound infection rate was only 3.5%. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01658736

As Magnora said, those corps have reached a size to be considered public utilities as evidenced by similar court decisions.

The situation is that people who have views that are not being censored, are ecstatic that opposing viewpoints are being censored. These people love to say:

Twitter isn't the government, and has no obligation to host speech it doesn't like.

Ad nauseum

Of course were the shoe on the other foot, they'd be howling about how these corps should be treated as a public utility.

Though these type of deaths are around normal for the flu, no one seemed to care at all about wearing masks for the "better good" during flu season. Totally hypocritical of mask "enthusiasts" and the medical establishment that all of a sudden cares.

Cooperating with your community and the greater good is viewed as slavery

Over a virus that is no worse, on average, than the flu. You are denied freedom of movement, freedom of assembly, forced to wear a item of clothing, your right to privacy is intruded on, in some cases your right to free speech, you lose your business, your job, and are forced to marginally subsist on uncertain welfare from the gov. Only to look forward to years of a rocky economic road which will seriously diminish your way of life, which ultimately more seriously negatively affects the greater good of everybody.

and ignorance.

True ignorance is denying experiential and scientific data surrounding the topic.

Hopefully, the virus dies out on its own and through the millions of people putting forth an effort to stop it.

The only way millions of people are going to "stop it", is by contracting it, having the sniffles for a couple of weeks and then being done with it.

It's estimated an average person can only gain 5 Iq points via education/environment. The majority of intelligence is inherited.

This is so obvious that I'm concerned with your attempts at explaining it away with so much extraneous complication. Many of your explanations play only a minor role. Quora had some unusual alacrity on this topic: https://www.quora.com/Can-I-raise-my-IQ-by-becoming-more-educated

It's the result of a long and tiresome back and forth between him and user tombombadil who is pretty much the only one vocally harassing/accusing him of being a shill. And Tom is often all too quick to label people shills if they disagree with him. So at this point it's entering meme territory.

Read how they arrived at their results for the studies that were hastily slapped together to push agenda. I know you haven't done that, you will clearly see how they gamed test groups to arrive at a forgone conclusion.

Mask tech did not change enough to affect outcomes, your deflection of being outdated is irrelevant.

They think we're stupid and sadly mask proponents prove their point.

Zahn · 2021-02-25T18:53:37+00:00

He said this because decades of mask studies have previously proven that non n95 masks don't work (statistically insignificant). Why are you anti science?

At least we're getting somewhere. It's ok to feel that way too...It means we're getting close. Those feelings bound up inside you. It's getting time to confront them..slowly one emotion at a time. Identify them and why they make you feel the way you do. You're older now, and you can handle it. I believe in you. I know deep down you don't want to be this way anymore.

Stop projecting these internalized negative emotions on others here, and go within yourself instead. Catharsis... take responsibility for your happiness or lack of, realize you yourself own them..then release them. Breathe through it.

What you could of been, what you could be. It's up to you, be the better person you truly desire, friend. It's in your hands.

For being a self proclaimed biologist, you seem rather naive. Isn't it weird how often the more "education" people get, the more they lose the ability for critical thinking? They can't think their way out of a wet paper bag, but can certainly regurgitate volumes of redundant textbook information. And they still smugly tell themselves that they are very smart.

Novel Covid is certainly a virus...a mind virus for low Iq plebes.

This is like when you try to conclusion shop to explain everything as being a Coincidence.....that is actual insanity or even really just being pedantic. In language Fedi can understand: Its dumb.

Research is deep information, connections and data, correlated to peculiar patterns and curious incongruencies, that then overlay onto historical information and anecdotes. Applied then to known human behaviour and common sense.

Fedi's idea of research: Snopes.

With any concept, I prove/disprove both sides of the concept. The side where the puzzle pieces fit better and create a more believable "picture", is the side I will lean toward as being "more true".

you're looking at spending more money just maintaining the debt then you pay for most things in the government.

No one ever talks about how all this "money" owed to mysterious "banks" doesn't represent any actual wealth. Printed out of thin air, it allows the handful of people that own the banks in question to indirectly control every aspect of our lives. If national debt was defaulted on, those that print the money would lose nothing but power.

How cute, really grasping at straws there. You present for perusal a no name author, with only tangential experience in anything remotely related to a sociological background. Who then proceeds to cobble together a flimsy "critique" as he says, of studies by actual real scientists that have previously concluded that invasive immigration is socially destructive.

In conclusion, I don’t think the social-scientific literature I am aware of has compellingly shown that diversity qua diversity has an important effect on social cohesion.

This is all you've got? We should irreparably disintegrate western culture because some student cherry picked studies to curate a predetermined hypothesis to explain rising social incohesion.
