[I'm a loser baby...]

But if we could just get the RCT's that show.masks reduce transmission? My cooker sources didn't pass those on

 

[Bandwagon]

Exactly, why change a perfectly cromulent word?

Awesopop.

 

[Gary Gutful]

There's more than two "sides" here.

Really? Well blow me down and shit my pants and roll me over again!

I told you, I'm not playing study wars with you, but given you made the initial claim they don't, how about you post the RCT that shows that, and I'll show you in that same study where it says yeah, they do.

Do I have to?

Which one?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Do I have to?

I'd prefer to not make this any more awkward by forcing you.

 

[Bandwagon]

Which one?

Whichever one you feel supports your initial claim.

 

[Bandwagon]

I'd prefer to not make this any more awkward by forcing you.

I also would prefer that.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I also would prefer that.

Damn. I thought you might still do it out of the goodness of your heart FFS!

 

[Bandwagon]

Okay then, as long as I'm not the one left to clean up, again..

 

[hindy111]

Actually, I'm off the beers at the minute...

Are you also on powerfull antibiotics?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Whichever one you feel supports your initial claim.

I made the claim that no RCT shows a reduction in transmission. If you know of one post it. Or if you don't keep obfuscating.

 

[hindy111]

Wanna go halves in a farm in Bowral? We can grow carrots and hang out with Casper.

What growing experience do you have? I've shown @strider my growing potential. He reckons my veges look great.

 

[hindy111]

Awesome, I feel so much safer now.

I heard you had something wrapped around your cock n balls

 

[Bandwagon]

I made the claim that no RCT shows a reduction in transmission. If you know of one post it. Or if you don't keep obfuscating.

No you made the claim

They don't even stop you spreading it, at least no real evidence for that. Yet we all had to do it and are being urged to do it again. There has to be a reason but it isn't what they're saying.

I then made the claim...

They don't "stop" anything.

They reduce the risk, it's a pretty clear difference that's been abused in arguing their effectiveness either way.

You then introduced the burden of proof to be an RCT.

If you are not willing to submit yourself to that same burden, how is it even remotely reasonable to demand it of me?

 

[the phantom menace]

Ah the cookers again. Those studies don't exist. There is no RCT that I'm aware of on masks that shows a reduction in transmission. If you know of it post it.

Ok, I'm the sucker who'll give you something to grumble over or ask Joe Rogan and go about on twitter... since Google appears beyond you.

Here's a peer reviewed systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 randomised clinical trials... which in conclusion "provides support for the public health policy of face mask use to limit the spread of respiratory infections, such as COVID-19".

Face masks to prevent transmission of respiratory infections: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on face mask use

Objectives To examine the use of face mask intervention in mitigating the risk of spreading respiratory infections and whether the effect of face mask intervention differs in different exposure settings and age groups. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. We evaluated the risk of bias...

I'm not really sure why anyone's bothering arguing against the fact that wearing masks will reduce transmission, to be honest...?

 

[hindy111]

Because that’s what we have been told, be a good little lamb and believe it.

Mary had a little lamb its fleece was white as snow.

 

[hindy111]

Its pretty fiesty in here. I feel like I'm missing out on some action.

Hey @hindy111 f**k of merkin!

Mine and Gronks jibes at each other are very surface compared to the fireworks tonight.
The merkin just ignores me now.

Imagine we did get a farm. Then become enemies. We could end up on ACA. Id probably urinate in your gumboots while your asleep

 

[hindy111]

ok I confess. That's what I used to do at family parties when I was a kid. I was a little twisted tbh. And I wasn't that interested in candy
