>Bullshit. It was viral.
Yes it was. And the latest knowledge shows that a simple mask is less effective than proper mediacal masks, and in ICUs even better PPE is required. But, as that anon said, people also sneeze and cough large droplets full of virises, and a simple mask will catch many of these. Infection ans severity is proportional to the viral load, so if you can reduce the number of viruses inhaled, it helps with the disease.
> Again, just a couple weeks after swearing it would prevent covid they changed it to "lessen the symptoms."
If I recall that was after more testing, and the first of the mutated strains

>Again, bullshit. They wouldn't let people go to church, but would allow them to go to casinos and riots.
I can't comment about your country, but church-goers tend to sing hymns, which was regarded as a risk. I'd have to check on casinos. You seem animated by riots. We didn't have any riots where I am, but outside activities with social distancing were eventually allowed
>If it weren't airborne then all of the wiping down and distancing was bullshit.
It was airborne. There were also fears that viruses could survive on surfaces - we used to have to wipe down our groceries - but subsequent research showed the virus was not persistent on hard surfaces
I can show you proof that the vaccine worked in the UK, if you like. But you won't believe it
