If there are no viral particles in the room, then the vulnerable person is already safe. If there are viral particles in the room then the unmasked im...
December 27, 2021 at 12:57
I am saying that unmasked healthy people protect vulnerable people from getting infected by being in close proximity with them. The protective effect ...
December 27, 2021 at 11:35
Yes, they work so long as we don't mask (and socially isolate) our healthy vaccinated population. ************** The masking of our healthy vaccinated...

Agent, this is the FALSE premise statement that many of us have been brainwashed to believe. ************ Tobias, this statement is FALSE. If you are ...
December 26, 2021 at 15:47
Not so - you (and others) are reading WAY TOO MUCH into this very simple analogy. We can have as many bullets/mosquitos/viral particles as we want. Th...
December 26, 2021 at 11:59
Agent, check the science. In general, healthy immune people ("naked men") do NOT shed/spread the virus. ********** Logically (and contrary to Bad Scie...
December 26, 2021 at 02:20
Hey you all, many of you are WAY over-thinking (over-complicating) the mosquito/bullet analogy. The analogy was meant to show a simple risk analysis. ...
December 25, 2021 at 22:28
To help better understand the safety benefits represented in the mosquito analogy, imagine the following -- Instead of a mosquito, imagine there is a ...
December 25, 2021 at 12:25
The number of mosquitoes (or viral particles) is irrelevant. Doubling the number of people within a given environment cuts the risk in half to any ind...
December 24, 2021 at 19:40
It baffles me that people close their eyes to simple math in favor of Bad Science. The simple math is -- the more people sharing a viral load, the les...
December 24, 2021 at 13:34
I am very much pro science. But science that disregards logic is Bad Science. Ignore Bad Science!
December 24, 2021 at 12:22
T Clark, check the science. It is extremely rare for the young (immune) man to replicate and cough up (or "bring in") mosquitoes into the room. In oth...
December 24, 2021 at 03:18
Firstly, mosquitoes (and viruses) don't necessarily stand still in a room. Secondly, my analogy is based on risk assessment (safety analysis). The mor...
December 24, 2021 at 03:12
Nils, these asymptomatic people are not necessarily "healthy immune" people. Science tells us that the healthier/stronger one's immune system, the les...

Tobias, check the science. It is very rare for a healthy immune person to replicate and spread the virus. Socially isolating and masking a healthy imm...
December 23, 2021 at 23:18
Okay, although I absolutely disagree with your interesting viewpoint, I thank you for clearing up my understanding of your view. Thanks again, take ca...
August 03, 2021 at 16:32
So then you believe immune people provide no protective effect to the (vulnerable within the) herd?
August 03, 2021 at 16:28
That wasn't my question. My question was not about immune versus non-immune, for that's a no brainer (we all agree immune is safer than not immune).
August 03, 2021 at 16:24
So you don't believe in "herd immunity"? ...in other words, so you don't believe there is protective effect to the vulnerable by integrating immune pe...
August 03, 2021 at 15:49
So in general (disregarding this particular room example), do you believe that surrounding a vulnerable person with immune (vaccinated) people makes i...
August 03, 2021 at 15:37
Isaac, so are you saying that the lady would be 'safer' if she were all alone (socially isolated/distanced), within this contaminated room?
August 03, 2021 at 13:57
Isaac, does this include healthy people with strong immune systems that have been vaccinated??? From what I've read, the amount of viral replication w...
August 03, 2021 at 12:19
Hey all, I know everyone enjoys the friendly bashing, but please try to answer this question seriously -- Firstly, imagine a fixed number of viral par...
August 03, 2021 at 11:54
It is simple statistics and simple logic. 1. The more people that share a viral load within a given environment, the less the risk to any individual w...
August 02, 2021 at 17:54
Hi T Clark, to help better understand the profound effect (safety) that this would create, imagine a fixed number of viral particles floating around i...
August 02, 2021 at 17:49
Not once in your emotional rant did you refute my logic. -- can you? -- can you find a logical flaw in my words (other than just saying they are wrong...

Healthy people wearing masks kills vulnerable people. Save a life, take off your mask.
February 11, 2021 at 15:31
The ultimate idiocracy of our current covid policy is keeping those recently vaccinated continually masked and social distancing. If we don't un-mask ...
February 11, 2021 at 13:59
For those of you, like InPitzotl, that have difficulty in understanding the difference between "social distancing" and "herd immunity", I have attache...
February 11, 2021 at 12:29
If, as InPitzotl and some of you others seem to believe, the only role of the immune person in achieving herd immunity is to break vectors of possible...
February 07, 2021 at 19:32
InPitzotl, you are very disingenuous. You seem to be more interested in finding ways to insult than in giving a straight answer. I'll try again: Let's...
February 07, 2021 at 10:21
Sorry InPitzotl, this (your reply) comes across as a creative "non-answer" to me. Either you know how a community of 100% vulnerable can be protected ...
February 06, 2021 at 22:58
We obviously disagree over the CDC's usage of "person-to-person" in their definition of herd immunity. And just because I disagree with this, does not...
February 06, 2021 at 21:13
The key phrase above is "In general". Rare exceptions do happen. Do you also believe that immune people (via vaccination or past infection) also shed ...

This is an example of bad science (...science that disregards logic). This virus does NOT spread from "person-to-person", it spreads from environment-...

This is Non-Truth #1. This virus does not spread from "person-to-person", it spreads from environment-to-person. People get infected from being in con...

Yes the government usually makes a mess of things. But if we don't soon implement a strategic (or "surgical") herd immunity approach, then we will onl...
February 05, 2021 at 20:12
Slowing down infections (aka "social distancing") kills more people than it saves: 1. Social distancing vulnerable people saves lives. 2. Social dista...
February 05, 2021 at 12:08
False. The protective effects of herd immunity just doesn't happen "magically" because we added more healthy immune people into the mix. There is a re...

February 04, 2021 at 21:55
Firstly, do you believe the concept of "herd immunity" is true? Do you believe there is such a thing as a "protective effect" by mixing healthy people...
February 04, 2021 at 14:27
Yes, this is especially true if you are an infected vulnerable person who is likely to shed much more of the virus than remove. But then, you would pr...
February 04, 2021 at 14:19
Lol. Yes, I've noticed! (...and nothing wrong with that on occasion.) On the contrary. My belief is based on the "rational" logical interpretation of ...
February 04, 2021 at 13:59
People with healthy immune systems develop antibodies, which in most cases, provides better protection than does vaccination. Not so. Most medical exp...
