She says 'screw the masks' during a global pandemic because she's worried about how she looks folks.
Meanwhile, out in the real world:
"During a COVID-19 outbreak on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, persons who wore masks experienced a 70% lower risk of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection." https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2776536
"This work shows that both theoretical and empirical evidence is consistent with masks protecting against respiratory infections" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8499874/
"Our review of the literature offers evidence in favor of widespread mask use as source control to reduce community transmission: Nonmedical masks use materials that obstruct particles of the necessary size; people are most infectious in the initial period postinfection, where it is common to have few or no symptoms (45, 46, 141); nonmedical masks have been effective in reducing transmission of respiratory viruses; and places and time periods where mask usage is required or widespread have shown substantially lower community transmission." https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2014564118#sec-11
"Experimental and epidemiologic data support community masking to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2" https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/masking-science-sars-cov2.html#anchor_1619457332454
"The study results shed light on the importance of using masks by individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 and show that different types of masks can help block viral transmission." https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0264389#sec011

but somebody must be paying you
No one is, but you're free to believe whatever helps you sleep better.
pushing the mainstream liberal narrative
Would it break your head to think of it as science? And that the MSLN was just passing the facts on?
we need common sense conversations
Go out one day and look in the sky. Your common sense tells you the sun is going around the earth. That's wrong. Go with the science.
buzzfeed or vox or snopes articles to "prove your point"
You aren't paying attention. I don't link to them.
those places
See above. The fact that you think I link to them tells me we're not having a conversation.
Let's find some common ground
We don't appear to have much common ground. You like the misinformation, I like the science.
Besides cis gendered white nazi males, what really gets your goat?
Yeah, that conversation went off the rails pretty quick. Persecution/martyr complex.
corporations
Not our friends, for sure. They need to be regulated.
Fauci admits to Mark Zuckerberg that COVID-19 vaccines could be making people worse.
There's no other way to describe that statement than as a lie folks.
This conversation took place on March 19 2020, two days after the very first small-scale covid vaccine trial started. In a wide-ranging general conversation about vaccine trials Fauci talked about some trials in the past. Here is the full conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=971QcDEha5I
The cherry-picked snippet above is from a section starting at 22:15. The discussion is about things that have gone wrong in past trials. It is not about the covid vaccines. https://youtu.be/971QcDEha5I?t=1335
It's global pandemic folks. As you can see some folks are pretty pissed that other people didn't stop it dead in its tracks. They hate being scared.
As usual V&C1 chooses not to - or can't (she sure likes to cut and paste pictures) - provide a link to her source so you can do your own research. You're just supposed to take her word for it.
Here's an archived copy: https://archive.is/QuYLd
TLDR: The death rate was reduced by vaccines - along with other public health measures, I imagine.
As usual V&C1 cannot - or chooses not to - differentiate between a rate and a count:
According to the article, covid deaths in Canada each year were as follows:
2020 - 9,225
2021 - 9,934 - a small increase.
2022 - 15,844 - an increase of about 6,000, or about 60% over 2021, and about the same over 2020.
What they don't provide is how many people had covid during those periods. Covid cases in each year can be worked out from here:
2020 - 573,000
2021 - 2,234,427 - an increase about of almost 300%
2022 - 4,487,000 - an increase of about 100% over 2021, and almost 700% over 2020.
So the real story is that while the number of people dying of covid went up very little in 2021 over 2020, and 60% in 2022, the number of covid cases went up by a factor 4 during 2021 and double again in 2022.
Got it? The death rate rose many times slower than the number of cases.
Why didn't the deaths rise at the same rate as the cases?
Because people were getting vaccinated, wearing masks, staying home, etc.
Folks, this person thinks I'm persecuting them and Christianity by pointing out that it's odd that someone saying "I am coming" 2,000 years ago still means "I am coming soon" to some people today.
And they are upset that I don't accept their suspicions as facts.
I don't see where anything I've said is being accepted at face value and discussed, so there's not much point in me talking any more.
Last word to them.
A paper by a Wall Street carreerist, a physicist, and a physics & finance guy. https://www.phinancetechnologies.com/HumanityProjects/Humanity%20About.asp
No peer review by any kind of covid expert, or anyone else with an even remotely relevant background.
They have their own way of calculating excess deaths so they have - in effect - invented their own language. They're going to have to teach that language to other experts in the field before anyone knows whether their method stands the test of time.
No doubt there's more, but I think the prudent thing to do would be to see if they can convince anyone with a relevant medical background.
This would be the equivalent of a pre-print, except that it isn't even in a medical journal. Still it's a cut above BSYH's usual offerings by anonymous tabloid journalists and worse.
I'm content to wait to see if anything comes of it.
It's very likely no one they knew was at the school
The adult victims were 60+ years old. What grounds do you have for speculating that they have not worked at the school for 10 years?
The shooter has a manifesto.
Which you haven't seen yet. Opinions based on uninformed speculations aren't worth much.
you are apologising for the perpetrator and blaming the victim
Nope. I'm pointing out that other motives than the ones you are prematurely accepting are being investigated, and suggesting you wait till the facts come out instead of stating "it appears it is A-OK to persecute Christians"
You live in an intellectual fantasy world
Yet you're the one making accusations based on uninformed speculation.
You tried to change the goal post
In the case of Germany you claim that citizens are responsible for the actions of their government, but you won't apply that to yourself, and refuse to discuss the responsibility you claim citizens have for the actions of your government.
you're distracting from the issue
OP's picture says "Here it comes the 666 Mark of the Beast System we were all warned about in the bible"
That's what my comment was about.
your bosses and our tax dollars keep paying you to shill indiscriminately?
You have no way of knowing that yet you state it as a fact. And then you accuse me of having "no basis in reality"?
Is there anything going on that you won't obfuscate?
Most of my comments are about public health policy and the vaccines. Occasionally I say something on another topic, like the fact that some people believe "I am coming quickly" in Revelation 22:20-21 means "I am coming in 2000 years". I don't comment on everything that gets posted here, so yes. Lots of things.
Are there any issues you and the left will actually have a conversation about?
What is the point of a conversation on highly technical subjects - vaccines and public health responses to new health threats - when one or more of the participants isn't qualified to comment? "I don't know what I'm talking about but here's what I think" is one thing, but "I don't know what I'm talking about but here's what I'm telling you to do" is dangerous and irresponsible.
Pfizer admitted
??
The title of the document is "Justification for the absence of studies in CTD Module 4". They're statements, not admissions.
If you look at it you'll see they provide a reason for each and every decision. You can even see this in thr little snippets McCullough displays.
If cardiologist McCullough doesn't understand the explanations you would think he take his questions to a pharmacological expert or two, people with experience in relevant vaccine clinical trials, so they could explain each rationale he's having trouble with .
Who does he think is going to give him the right answers on Twitter? Elon Musk?

When did Pfizer get fined? 2009
When did Trump get Gottlieb to the FDA? 8 years later
When did he resign from the FDA? March 2019
When did he join Pfizer? June 27 2019
Does V&C1 oversimplify? Of course she does.
See folks? Some people can't grasp that "vaccination against COVID-19 with BNT162b2 mRNA, mRNA-1273, and ChAdOx1, and also their combination, was associated with a favorable effectiveness against SARS-CoV2 incidence rate, hospitalization, and mortality rate"
These people - I think they call them "Karen" - demand 100% protection.
