Haha now you are down to inferences? Really scraping the bottom of the barrel there, old man. Masks help, I've said that numerous times, but only vaccines really protect you.
except in schools - only opening the windows helps.

I think at this point we need a cage match for @rick81721 and @thegock. @Patrick can officiate. No holds barred, no masks.
What Rick means is that you can piss on a house fire, or bring in fire trucks.
Problem is only 2/3rds the community believes in the fire trucks and the rest of the houses catching fire think the firefighters are trying to change their DNA.
Who said masks aren't effective? The discussion above, since you obviously weren't paying attention, was on mask mandates in schools. You make the same mistake Pat did, equating no mask mandate with no one wearing masks.

Local preschool. Mask mandate. Not a mask in site. Not one picture on their Facebook taken this summer has a mask in it. Well there was one, of a teacher, with her nose exposed.
They decided they are leaving the masking up to the parents, and only requiring them for pick up and drop off, which ironically is probably when they are least likely to get infected. We were going to send our 2 and 4yo kids there in September, but decided to go with the school that actually follows CDC and American Association of Pediatrics recommendations (and state mandates).
Edit: I can only imagine what the states with no mandates look like. Probably like this but with no attempt by the teachers to wear masks either.

They're immune to covid?Preschool? Lol
They're immune to covid?
There's no kids under 2 in those pictures. American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends masking for 2 and up. And it's a state mandate.Seriously? There are kids under 2 at pre schools. No one recommends masks at that age. Even the WHO doesn't recommend masks under 5.

That was like 50 years ago. Times have changed. But seriously, there's different classrooms in that school, and all others that I've seen, even daycares.So what? There is no mask mandate under 2 years old. Our kid was in multiple pre schools, they don't segregate them other than infants. One big room for the most part.
@rick81721 's school...That was like 50 years ago. Times have changed. But seriously, there's different classrooms in that school, and all others that I've seen, even daycares.

So what exactly are you arguing? That no one should have a mask on?And again, so what? You think even if they enforced a mask mandate to the letter, that they would segregate the 2 year olds wearing masks from the 1.9 year olds not wearing masks? Don't be silly

That's stupid. 2-12 should have masks on. Why have an increased risk? Most of the idiots at these school board meetings screaming like lunatics to unmask the kids don't even have kids.Kids under 5, no. Kids 5 to 11, parents choice. Kids 12 and over should be vaccinated.
