I thought the woman handing me this was going to ask for help reaching something, but she was handing this out to everyone.
Did they just photocopy a flyer that was photocopied by someone else? Because this looks like it was about 15 steps from the original printing. Also, why hand these out now?
Sounds about right for these folks. Anytime you see an email like this it’s always FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: the Illuminati KILLED MY DOG with COVID masks!
Reminds me of a line in Futurama:
Fry: Over there a crazy guy used to hand out a socialist newsletter
Bender: Was it poorly Xeroxed?
Fry: Oh, you better believe it!
There’s some loon still plastering their ill informed, anti Vax / anti mask stickers on every bit of street furniture across the nearby town centre.
I’d be more annoyed that this person couldn’t even bother me with a more up to date conspiracy.
I have a dead uncle because of these nonsense theories he refused to wear a mask, social distance etc. The inevitable happened and he passed from covid within a week. All because of anonymous people on Facebook who I will never meet, and will never suffer the consequences of their actions. Makes me so angry
Still don’t understand why there’s no consequence for actively harming others.
Have they been subject to medium to long term safety testing on humans?
Yes. For over two years now. Using a population of hundreds of millions of people and a control population of people who xerox misinformation and hand it out to strangers in grocery stores.
News flash: the vaccinated ones are doing way better.
As an addendum, the idea that a vaccine can produce side effects years down the line is a myth. A vaccine is a one-time payload - if any side effects are going to crop up, they will inevitably be in the few weeks following vaccination as your body processes it. After that, if nothing has gone awry, you’re good.
My 5G mobile coverage improves about 7 days after my annual shot.
I figure by 2027 I can ditch my home router.
Or, y’know, literal decades (centuries?) by medical professionals
For vaccines in general, yes. But kooky people that think this is some kind of trick are worried about it being an mRNA vaccine, which is indeed somewhat new. The idea has been around for about fifty years, but the first human clinical trials were only about a decade ago and COVID was the first large-scale human deployment.
Now, in fairness, they were almost entirely ready at the time. I would imagine, without COVID, we probably would’ve still seen mRNA vaccines become mainstream already, though maybe last year or this year instead of in 2021. But COVID stepped up the final stages of approval significantly.
Yeah, don’t accept trash from strangers.
Take an obvious picture of her with your phone. Hand out flyers with her face saying avoid this woman .
I’m high risk as I’m immunosuppressed. I’ve had 8 vaccines, shielded for well over a year and always wore a mask. I finally caught COVID last week. There’s not a doubt in my mind that I would have died already if I hadn’t been vaccinated. My oxygen saturation levels just keep dropping - 90% today. I’m going to have to go to hospital ☹️
It would annoy me just as much to receive pro vaccine propaganda. Even the vaccine commercials annoy me.
I don’t get it
At least those actually save lives.
I don’t care. You shouldn’t force vaccines on people.
You shouldn’t force vaccines on people.
Are you suggesting that no children should receive vaccinations?
It should be up to the parent. With that being said, parents need to be given information about vaccines and what is recommended.
First you said you didn’t want to receive “pro vaccine propaganda” and now you’re saying parents need to be given information about vaccines.
parents ahould get their information from likeminded facebook groups (totally not propaganda)
Why can’t they just go back to handing out Chick tracts? At least those were funny.
I was handed one of these when I was on a church trip as a teenager. One of many many reasons I became disillusioned, but pretty funny in retrospect.
Oh they’re great. I sometimes go look at their archives for a chuckle since all of their tracts are there for free. Most people’s favorite is Dark Dungeons, which is about how D&D is satanic, but I have to say that my favorite would be Angels? which is about a Christian rock band who gets a manager named “Lew Siffer” and don’t notice that there may be something weird there, but it’s probably because they’re very stupid, because their subsequent hit song goes something like “We’re gonna rock rock with the rock!”
This is far more than mildly infuriating, this is actively putting peoples lives at risk, it’s enraging and quite scary, and why disabled and other vulnerable people are continuing to be more isolated than ever.
Fuck this person and the bullshit they spread. I rarely leave the house, but if I did and someone handed me something like this I’d grab the whole pile and set it on fire, casually roll over their feet with my wheelchair on my way, too (E: actually, scratch that, I wouldn’t want to get that close to the disease vector, even with my mask on).
I’ve had it twice now and don’t mind getting close, otherwise agreed on all counts. Let’s hide the
accelerantfairy juice under your chair, you can be getaway driver with clean hands. Tell me you have a rad van with wheel controlsAlas, no van, but plenty of spots to hold lighter fluid and stolen flyers as I roll away lol
Ask for more copy, turn it into toilet paper. Repeat.
Nah, dont infect your ass with stupid
People who wear masks can never tell me why, if I wear underwear how come I can still smell my own farts?
In case you are serious or someone else is serious about this:
Masks, just like underwear, are permeable. If they wouldn’t be, you would suffocate as no air would be able to reach your lungs. (At your rear, that’s just a consequence of low requirements towards the material, which mainly serves as a covering and being able to dry.) So gas molecules are usually not stopped to pass through your underwear or masks.The main difference between, e.g. FFP2/3, masks and your underwear is the size of particles that are able to pass through. Your underwear will be able to catch some moisture of a juicy fart and probably some shit particles. However, most of the gases and smaller particles can pass through. Filter masks are able to stop most particles down to a certain size. For FFP 2 masks at least 94% of particles down to a size of 0,6 micrometers can be stopped. Particles smaller than that are likely to pass through. FFP 3 masks block at least 99% of particles down to the same size.
The thing with viruses like Covid-19 is, that they are usually expelled from an infected person via the respiratory system, that means, your mouth and nose. There, the virus cells are mostly soluted within the moist air you breathe out. Moist air means: there are very tiny (mainly) water particles which are spread over a certain volume of gas. And they are floating with the currents of the gas. That’s what basically constitutes an aerosol. Particles, tiny and lightweight enough to float with a gas (for a while).
You can see that clearly with spray cans. With breathing air it’s not so good to see with the naked eye.
Those moist particles, loaded with virus cells, are usually large enough to be filtered out by FFP masks. It’s not perfect of course, but it can help a great deal and contribute to prevention measures.The stinky stuff in farts is afaik a pure gas and not an aerosol. (Did you know that in terms of gas volume, just about 2 % of a single fart contains the smelly chemicals?) Which is why neither masks, nor underwear help so much against stinky farts.
FFP masks are mandatory in jobs where dangerous smaller particles can enter your body. They help against dust, smoke and a lot of aerosols. But they don’t filter out pure gases. That’s what gas masks are for.
In terms of infection spreading, a neat side-effect of masks is that they can slow down the velocity of exhaled air, which helps to reduce how far the aersol spreads around a person. Trying to blow out a candle while wearing a mask isn’t as easy as without a mask, which demonstrates this effect.
Futhermore, there has been a study suggesting that wearing a mask for a while or wearing it during rainy weather can - up to a certain point - further improve the filter capabilities of such face masks, since the moisture accumulates on the surface of the mask (in- and/or outside) and by this forms another protective barrier.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Wrong.
Please provide an explanation, preferrably with sources, if you think my explanation is wrong.
My post was a mockery of stupid people. I thought everyone would get that
I see. Thanks for clarifying that! I already thought you were joking, but wasn’t so sure. Seems a lot of people didn’t get it as you intended.
You could consider adding a flag like /j, /i or /s (depending on context) to such comments to avoid confusion.
Some people have too much free time and too few brain cells.
All that mask wearing in their youth killed those cells.
