Joe Rogan and Spotify

[i-bert]

Of what relevance is this to the question?

Just wondering what the "lots of things" that were touted as misinformation are now considered fact.

It's relevant because the governments were telling people not to wear them when the pandemic first started.

100%
We've been using them in the NHS since the NHS started to stop the spread of diseases, how can they not work unless you're not using them properly?
Even Florence Nightingale knew what they did.
For around 20 months I didn't know one person who got a cold because of masks including me.
If you have definite proof with your Facebook research that masks don't stop the spread of diseases we could save a fortune in the NHS.

I did my own research when the pandemic first started as I didn't believe the governments stance on them. I listened to doctors in Asia who had extensive experience with this sort of thing.

They could have told people to make their own if they were worried about shortages. Not, perfect, but better than nothing.

Were you in a different pandemic? They did - people were knitting them at home.

In the world you want we'd have no conversations about a subject because everyone would be sat nodding. No questioning would be allowed. The moment someone questions the narrative its assumed they are a crazy CT.

Someone as put a trigger warning on the book 1984.. unironically.

University of Northampton's trigger warning on George Orwell's 1984

Fictional books, films and tv series, used to be the way social issues were portrayed to spark debate. But now every subject is becoming overly sensitive that its no wonder we've got dumbed down media.

The way society is going it seems they want us all to be like Joey from TOWIE, knows nothing about everything

Tosh, nobody is suggesting any of that or doing it. This is delusional in the extreme. Someone needs to lay off the alt facts.

Anyway....

Apparently Rogan is now racist, without giving any proof.

Is anyone else reminded of the name calling kids engage with in School, when they read stuff like this?
Racist, Nazi and I guess Anti Vaxer seem to have been trivialised to playground insults.

That's how to make a face covering. The governments first stance was you don't need to wear one.

Try harder please.

While I am surprised that gov website has instructions on how to make masks that is not the same as telling people they should be making masks.

Are you drunk? lmao.

The government told people not to wear masks, they said they weren't effective, then they changed their mind. So someone saying masks were effective would have been peddling misinformation, except that is now widely regarded as fact. I'm not sure anyone can make that more clear.

again, this is why some people need protecting from the internet. people are saying one thing and you're seeing something completely different.

That doesn't surprise me.

no they wouldn't.

The government was asking people not to wear masks so that there wasn't a shortage that would have impacted those that needed them.

Were you guys even there during the early days of the pandemic?

that V apparently ? if you're on spotify and want to trawl through his stuff.

The R&B singer said in an Instagram post that Rogan’s “language around race” was “problematic,” referring to a recent interview on Rogan’s podcast in which he made offensive comments about African nations and said it was “weird” to use the term “Black” as an identifier.

The UK was put under a strict lockdown on 23 March.

Early April. Professor Jonathan Van-Tam reiterated at the daily briefing (4 April) that wearing of face masks by healthy people is not recommended by the Government, he goes on to say that while the practice seemed “‘wired into’ some southeast Asian cultures, there was no evidence that general wearing of face masks by the public who are well, affects the spread of the disease in our society” He added: “In terms of the hard evidence and what the UK Government recommends, we do not recommend face masks for general wearing by the public.” Social distancing remained the key mitigation strategy for Covid-19.

Echoing the Government’s messages are those from the WHO and experts from the UK, including Professor Bill Keevil, Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Southampton, who when interviewed by the Evening Standard on 9 April was asked amongst other questions the following two: If I wanted to make my own, would you recommend it? Why are we seeing more people wearing masks? His answers being:

“No. It will not protect you.” (but in answer to the first question, there was no mention of whether it could protect others.)

It's boring arguing with trolls/people being intellectually dishonest

Ah yeah hook line and sinker that - clearly saying don't wear masks because they don't work isn't it

The final line you've included in your quote is the qualifier that low-intellect people aren't able to pick up on.
