It’s been almost a year since I’ve worn a mask, how about you?

    LOL, look in the mirror boy. I took Latin way back in the 60's, and I know what the word means. It is you who seems confused, likely the result of incessant propaganda over 2 years and more.

    No Dude. They are still INFECTED. Which means they can INFECT others.

    Asymptomatic isn't a state of wellness, it's a state of disease.

    The poster is suggesting that 'asymptomatic' is the same thing as 'not infected'. Obvious bunkum.

    Nope. A person who is "asymptomatic" is a person who is healthy... Do you rush to the doctor because you don't have any symptoms?? How stupid would it be to sprint to the doctors office to get yourself tested for disease even though you are not symptomatic?? As far as I am concerned, that sort of behavior deserves to be mocked and ridiculed... endlessly.

    I spent over 30 years in the US military. I wore the uniform they told me to wear. I wore the protective equipment they told me to wear. I went where they told me, when they told me. I got the vaccines they told me to get. I took the drugs they told me to take. I was in leadership rolls all but three of my years of service so I do have the ability to lead and think for myself. I didn't just do what I was told to do, I also chose to do it. I chose it because it was the right thing to do for my brothers and sisters in arms and my fellow citizens!

    I now choose to wear a mask every time I leave home and have done so since March of 2020. I do it still for my brothers and sisters in arms and I do it for my fellow citizens.

    I spent those years in uniform because I felt it was the right thing to do for my country. I also feel wearing a mask is the right thing to do.

    I also spent those years in uniform to protect everyone's rights. If you choose not to wear a mask that is your right. I don't agree with your decision but I would defend to my death your right to choose.

    ~ This is the point. M.D.s ‐ like most politicians - " go along to get along ". Most are not going to risk having their license to practice put in jeopardy.
    You are better off asking the gardener or the clerk in the grocery store. :no:

    A mask isn't doing anything to protect your family.

    Are you one of these people who wears a mask driving alone in your car? Were you on exersiing two masks? How about surgical gloves? Those too?

    You do realize that the recovery rate from COVID is slightly less than 100%, right?

    A prosecutor never looks to exonerate anyone. That's not their job. Their job is to uncover evidence and prosecute. Trump wasn't prosecuted because there was no evidence he committed a crime. Once the prosecutor determines there's no evidence, they close the case. They don't announce that the suspect has been exonerated.

    Do you understand what infection is?

    Do you understand what cancer is?

    Do you understand what slow brain leaks are?

    Do you understand what occluded arteries are?

    All of the above (and many many more) can be present in the absence of symptoms.

    It's impossible to believe you don't understand modern medical science, but in case you actually can't grasp it, when was the last time you met a doctor who told people they don't have cancer because they "feel okay today"?

    Yes. Do you?

    Yes. Do you?

    Yes. Do you?

    Yes. Do you?

    Nope. They all have symptoms.

    Projection. Your issue, not mine.

    Those people still have symptoms.


    Now, answer MY questions:

    Do you rush to the doctor because you don't have any symptoms??
    How stupid would it be to sprint to the doctors office to get yourself tested for disease even though you are not symptomatic??

    If the military is to protect everyone's rights, why in hell are those 40+ citizens in the DC Jail not have their right to Habeas Corpus?

    ~ True — but only after it's too late. Cancer, heart disease, hypertension and diabetes are common examples.

    Indeed, the symptoms are slower to appear than most other ailments, but they do appear nonetheless. That's why there are typically regular screenings for these sorts of things, so that they can hopefully be caught before they develop too far.

    Diabetes is the one in the list with the best chance to reverse simply by changing over to a carnivore-style diet instead of a "balanced diet"

    ~ Adult onset Diabetes is an epidemic worldwide. Give the ADA and other government health "experts " another 15 years and this will be recommended . :-?

    In the 2 years of theatrics, I only wore the chaff bag of compliance twice.

    It will be interesting tomorrow as I see my doc for my annual check up, and will not even take
    a mask with me, I don't own one. If they insist, hope they have one for me....otherwise, maybe
    I should throw a scarf in my bag if they are nuts.....

    Bullsh!t.

    Type II DM is a result of endocrine malfunction, triggered by the failure of the regulatory processes of same. Those regulatory processes are EXERCISE, EXERCISE, and EXERCISE. You could live on nothing but carbs and never acquire this disease, if you're active and on your feet for the majority of your waking hours.

    The exclusion of carbs is merely a cheat's way of trying to mimic the effect of exercise on metabolic process. It will never work the same way as actual activity. It's a chemical cheat, on a system dependent upon mechanical processes.

    What is it that you're missing, in the case of potential infection with a virus that can be asymptomatic? What are you having trouble understanding?

    The notion of asymptomatic infection with a deadly virus is so much nonsense.

    No, it's not bullshit at all. It is merely eating a species-appropriate diet. Eating a species-appropriate diet is good for said species.
