Run away after you got your ass kicked.
Leprosy, is that all that you can come up with to counter me????????????????
The observation that you're just not smart enough to present anything credible will suffice, cum dumpster.

My mind is based on what I know through my training and work in the medical field. Paul could be the biggest loon in the senate, that doesn't make him wrong here. you have worked diligently to attack him, proclaim him, and myself wrong, yet you have not been able to articulate scientifically why.
Dr. Fauci is not using science when he says vaccinated people need to wear a mask. the science does not bear this out.

I don't view the world in a binary left vs right way, I believe that to be counter productive to discussions on the science of covid. I am rather centrist myself.
Because the data is not there, and as a medical professional you should know when the data is not available yet you base your actions on what you Know of other viruses and their behavior, that sir, is science.
Believe what you want, and wear a mask until we hit herd immunity levels, thanks...
hahahahahahaha look at you, can't addtress what paul says so you character assasinate the guy,.
I believe eye doctors go through medical school, he's far more a real doctor than the 1st lady.
You'll get over it.
Who told you that?
The CDC released a meta-analysis in May 2020 of 14 controlled, extended trials studying the effects of mask usage. The study found no reduction in the rate of laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza, a similar respiratory illness.
Face Masks
In our systematic review, we identified 10 randomized controlled trials that reported estimates of the effectiveness of face masks in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the community from literature published during 1946–July 27, 2018.
In pooled analysis, we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks.
One study evaluated the use of masks among pilgrims from Australia during the Hajj pilgrimage and reported no major difference in the risk for laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infection in the control or mask group.
Two studies in university settings assessed the effectiveness of face masks for primary protection by monitoring the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza among student hall residents for 5 months.
The overall reduction in influenza-like illness or laboratory-confirmed cases in the face mask group was not significant in either study. Study designs in the 7 household studies were slightly different: 1 study provided face masks and P2 respirators for household contacts only, another study evaluated face mask use as a source control for infected persons only, and the remaining studies provided masks for the infected persons as well as their close contacts.
None of the household studies reported a significant reduction in secondary laboratory-confirmed virus infections in the face mask group.
Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids.
There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.
We did not consider the use of respirators in the community. Respirators are tight-fitting masks that can protect the wearer from fine particles and should provide better protection against influenza virus exposures when properly worn because of higher filtration efficiency.

Seeing that you're an expert on medical expertise, there's no reason that you can't post your professional opinion.
Well-stated, and entirely empirical, as Dr. Paul pointed out.

The issue here is whether there’s any scientific point to wearing a mask, post-vaccination.
Paul pressed Fauci on that and Fauci couldn’t give a good answer. The political/policy point is there is no further justification for mask mandates once a sufficient number of people are vaccinated.
Paul also brought up an excellent point that it’s well passed the time people should be given an incentive to get vaccinated instead the ‘well, we might being masking into 2023’ bit.

No thanks, as soon as I get a vaccine the mask is off for good for me. down here masks are rare these days anyway. we have data that all of the variants few of them are slightly resistant to the vaccine, slightly. once vaccinated and you wait the 14-30 day incubation period for antibodies to build there is no need to wear a mask at that point.
That is science.
not "wear a mask even when vaccinated because we have no data saying you need to and we should ignore the data we have saying it's not needed".

No expert, but I sure can read and understand. I am not a medical professional. Where did you get that idea?
I will just have to agree that we disagree, good luck...
You post like you're an expert on medical expertise.
