[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4872092, member: 63706"] Nope, you might have difficulty distinguishing between facts and opinions, I don't. Every single RC study that has ever been done on the matter has shown no significant difference between mask and no mask in slowing the spread of both ILI and the one they did for coronavirus had the same result. Fact, not opinion. The information isn't hard to find, which leads me to believe that people who aren't aware of these facts are being intentional in their ignorance. As for my intellectual capabilities, if being a truck driver means I'm incapable of drawing my own conclusions from available information, then you certainly lack the capability to challenge my conclusions. I always get a good chuckle when people pull that truck driver nonsense out. I might have become a doctor, but the only way I could afford the training was to stay military, and that wasn't for me. I considered taking the LSAT after completing my degree, since I enjoyed my business law classes so much. But financing was still an issue. You see, grants and scholarships are offered on basis of skin color and what's between you legs rather than what's between your ears. I didn't just give up and cry sexism and racism, as seems to be the fashion these days, I made the best of what options were open to me. By the time I finished college, the housing bubble was bursting, and I took whatever job I could get.
