Anyone no matter specific opinion must in order to be honest ask of themself beforehand:
"What information, what proof would make me change my mind on this?"
If you can't think of anything specific, you havn't thought the issue through, you are not being critical of your own position and you are not thinking scientifically.
Anyone no matter specific opinion must in order to be honest ask of themself beforehand:
"What information, what proof would make me change my mind on this?"
If you can't think of anything specific, you havn't thought the issue through, you are not being critical of your own position and you are not thinking scientifically.
Example: I argue that masks work. That is not the same as saying mandatory masking in public spaces work. Nor is it arguing that children should be forced to wear masks at school.
All the statement really says is: masks work. To debate it, it must be defined. Are we talking about those blue cloth masks typically worn by dentists?
Well, they don't stop viruses. Those are for stopping droplets.
And so on, defining and refining the actual question.
But since no agency in any nation would be able to recommend the right kind of mask used the right way, due to completely unrealistic cost to the citizen, we get this dog & pony show about "use a mask, any mask".
The 3M Particulate Respirator 8511 (N95) helps protect against viruses. MSRP for box of ten: $27.39. So taking the kids to school? One mask. Going grocery shopping? One mask. Walking th dog? One mask. Picking up the kids from school? One mask.
So let's say one box per person every other day.
And that's why no governement agency in any country actullay recommended the right kind of masks - it never ever was about actually stopping a virus from spreading. That, however, oes not mean that masks don't work.
Anyone claiming that is welcome to run a belt sander over an old lacquered hardwood floor in an enclosed space...
