Is is not surprising that Trump supporters are often anti-maskers, bc they are some of the most selfish and dumbest people on the Earth, yet their stupidity and reckless disregard for other people still manages to surprise me from time to time.

I think that the antimask posts should be removed. Not a very democratic thing to do, but these messages are actually dangerous right now.

You should be happy that they don't wear masks since you wish them all dead imo

It's about other people.

If an anti-masker gets coronavirus, oh well. I just don't want them harming others.

And before any of this gets too far:

No, it is not okay to wish other posters in this thread die.

And if we (as a community) want to ban coronavirus disinformation from this thread, I am okay with that.

So long as I'm the decider!

Also may as well just ban all disinformation.

Also a statement like "masks are just a way to remind everyone to live in fear", is just conjecture, anyway.

Also I feel like the bar for what is considered "violence" is so low I've wonder if it is performance art.

And lastly the real solution is socioeconomics, or maybe education, or maybe law and order, or whatever else currently appears to not be being done ergo must be the fix.

You are joking now, but your last post might have been serious. You basically said that unmasked people with COVID can’t give it to masked healthy people. If it was a joke, it wasn’t funny. No one is laughing (maybe the deplorables, but they don’t count). The friends and relatives of people that died from COVID arr especially not laughing.

If I had to go with a conspiracy theory I'd kinda go the opposite, masks help some degree but are sorta security theater pushed on people to some degree to make them feel safe enough to do normal crap /open the economy /go to school /etc.

Is that a headache that you really want to take on?

This isn't exactly a news source for the general public and the odds of anyone reading the thread being convinced by anything VMF (for example) posts have to be about zero.

In most cases the cure for bad speech is good speech and this is no exception, people posting contrary, accurate information would be better than discussion of the subject dying off.

But that's just, like, my opinion man.

So it appears Gilead and the administration had preprint access to the study showing Remdisivir didn’t have clinical benefit for COVID and still pushed it to the tune of almost a billion in profit.

Would you guys censor fauci? He said masks didnt work and then said they did!

For the record, i do support washing your hands and keeping social distance to help "stop the spread". I always did that anyway, im also anti mouth breathers/breathing. i just think masks arent effective, especially the way i see people use them and the types of masks. just stay home when ur sick and if you need to cough or sneeze, dont do that on someone lol!! i also support anyones right to wear a chin diaper heheheh XD .

Sometimes the science is unclear on something, i guess you guys considered it settled science and i dont, need more test experiments, i am willing to be that test subject, wish me luck guys, if i get covid u guys can laugh it up, and i will try to battle it, i dont think ive had covid yet, if i did, i beat it quite easily, so ive managed to avoid the virus, in a busy city during a pandemic while not wearing a mask.. winter is coming, second wave could get me

Why do people get more mad when someone loots a pair of Nike’s and not when we are looted by companies and government lies daily? Billion is a lot of Nike’s.

Media? I tried googling gilead remdisivir and some other words and it wasn't immediately obvious what you were referencing.

People do get mad, pretty sure. Though I'm sure your question was rhetorical as well.

Maybe vague fears riots are "close" as well.

It might be just me, but I don’t think “about zero” is good enough. Like viruses, disinfo has a way of spreading.

The disinformation trolls (VMF, Luckbox and sometimes mets) have had their **** refuted numerous times by various ppl. They sometimes try to argue, their arguments are defeated and then they pretend it didn’t happen and post a new batch of disinfo.

Also, most people have better things to do than spend time debunking trolls. When someone does that, awesome. More power to them. But we can’t (and shouldn’t) expect them to do it at all times.

And again, just my opinion, but one of the best ways to ensure that it spreads in 2020 is to just try to suppress it. See what's going on in the media and social media.

Just saw a tweet that Labour suspended Jeremy Corbyn. That's quite a comedown, is there a cliffs backstory to this? Is it just his penchant for anti-semitism?

It is already spreading everywhere. If ppl actually want to find disinfo, they will manage. No need to make it easy or to allow it to be hosted here.
