Bill Nye Perfectly Shuts Down Anti-Maskers’ Fake Science On Why Masks Don’t Work
72Kviews
The Covid-19 pandemic continues to ravage the world, and we humans continue to contribute to its destruction by refusing to follow simple regulations. I mean, it’s as simple as putting a piece of cloth over your face. And it works. However, it’s still too difficult for some to understand.
Bill Nye has officially had enough of anti-maskers. Last week, he uploaded a video to TikTok, where he uses simple everyday objects and language to explain why masks slow the spread of coronavirus and save lives.
In just 4 days, the video has been viewed nearly 14 million times. Let’s hope at least a few of them belong to anti-maskers who changed their mind and disavowed their society-harming views.

General practitioner, medical researcher, and founder of PrimeHealth Clinical Research, Iris Gorfinkel, M.D., told Bored Panda that the CDC made it clear that masks protect both their wearers and the people around them. “Masks are helpful because they block large and fine droplet particles that the virus can cling to,” Gorfinkel said. “They’re helpful for blocking not just COVID-19 but other viruses as well, including influenza.”
“In fact, a study done in Thailand looked at more than 1,000 people and found that those wearing a mask during high-risk exposure reduce the risk of getting infected by 70%. That’s seven zero. That’s a lot. And we’ve also seen reduced transmission on flights lasting longer than 10 hours.”
The Science Guy went above and beyond trying to get his point across

Since winter is coming, it’s worth knowing that coronavirus spreads faster in the cold, dry air (turning on the heat to warm our homes just further dries the air). But these conditions don’t just facilitate the spread of the virus; they also reduce how effective our natural defenses can be. “When the mucous membranes dry out, they’re less effective in removing viruses,” Gorfinkel explained. “So masks also help by humidifying and warming the air we breathe. That’s an addition to their blocking capabilities.”
And the video has already been viewed nearly 14 million times

A mask, however, is not a substitute for social distancing. Even while wearing them, we should still be staying at least 6 feet apart.
We should also wash our hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol after touching or removing our mask.
Masks may not be necessary when we are outside by ourselves, far away from others, or with other people who live in our household.
However, some localities may have mask mandates while out in public and these mandates should always be followed.
The CDC continues to study the effectiveness of different types of masks and will update its recommendations as new scientific evidence becomes available.

The problem with those people is that facts dont work.Thats like explaining quantum physics to a chimp. You cant discuss with idiots.
You'd have less trouble explaining quantum physics to a chimp than explaining the use of masks to anti-maskers.
Exactly, at least the chimp will listen.
I'm afraid youre right...
well it is important to differentiate who the chimp is ;)
I rather talk to a chimp about this than you. At least the chimp is smarter.
This would be why Bill Nye explained it better. You know, like a kid's science show. I seem to remember a really good one back when I was a kid... what was it called again?

Tell me about quantum physics Patrick. You sound really smart and I would like to learn from you.
Tell me about COVID. Oh wait, you can't, since you can't seem to comprehend the fact that a mask on your face will prevent germs from getting into your system.

Look at all the snowflakes worried about a covid cold. Blow your nose and get on with your life.
It's not as if the disease can have long term complications even if you don't get sick. It's not as if over 1.5 million people worldwide have died completely preventable deaths. You're an idiot.
The spread of COVID depends on two things: how dense the population is, and how dense the population is.
Of course I do. My dad still uses it.
Then why is Biden letting immigrants in the country then....🤔
Then why is Biden letting immigrants in then...
You gonna reply with any evidence or stats? Cause name calling is what 3rd graders do. I am still waiting....

So explain why NY and LA (where they have the strictest rules on masks) now have the largest spikes in cases??? And yet Lagos Nigeria (4x more dense than NYC and 3x as populous) has 22,000 cases and only 220 deaths. Riddle me that.
Clearly, you didn't understand the second factor, "How dense the population is."
God damn. I really shouldn't have to waste my time on dumbasses like you. tbh I can't even comprehend how stupid you are. Let me explain a few things to you. Just because there are strict laws does not mean people will obey the law. Think about this - There are around 40,000 deaths in the U.S each year even though, EVEN THOUGH, it's illegal to murder someone. Alaska has VERY strict gun laws - and yet - they still have the most gun related deaths per year based on population of state. See if your pea ass sized brain can comprehend that.
Population density. You are the second part of the joke.

SSHH don't confuse libs with facts. They like listening to an engineer masquerading as a scientist.

@Iann Dior In Lagos they do 1 simple thing different. It has nothing to do with masks... wanna take a guess?

Hey wolfstar... I do understand how dense the population is... which is why Lagos at the highest density city in the world was my city of choice. It seems you don't have reading comprehension as a forte. Anyone wanna reply with actual stats or facts? No?
You're number two. You are very dense. Now, who has a problem in reading comprehension? Certainly not me.
Drastic times call for drastic measures. Put fake news that they found the gay virus and wearing a mask is the only way to stop it. I live in the middle of Trump country so I know how this group thinks. Bull crap on Facebook could be used for good.
Brilliant!
Not every Conservative is against the LGBTQ community and people. Most people have accepted it. Especially the younger generations
Then we are in the silent minority
Then why is their platform to destroy it?
