🚨STEVE HARVEY ONCE PRAISED TRUMP FOR CREATING HIS ENVISION PROGRAM TO HELP LOW INCOME FAMILIES!

He even called Trump "accommodating" & "congenial" in 2017.

He has now endorsed Kamala "for free!"

It sure would be a shame if everyone shared this video of Steve PRAISING TRUMP! pic.twitter.com/Q0GQly6bqI

IjeBos:
Kennedy to drop out and endorse Trump.
His campaign definitely wasn't an attempted strategy to help Trump. (wink).

I mean, what type of doublespeak and useless thinking can rival this ?

“ But when you think about it, it’s kind of brutal toward Kamala Harris’s predecessor as the presumptive Democratic nominee. Michelle Obama was quite clearly implying that the party, and perhaps the country, had lost hope under Joe Biden, and that it took Harris to bring that hope back.”

Can you guys really get this writer’s drivel ? Na wa o!

You know guys, after reading that article up there about Michelle “Michael” Obama speech at the ongoing DNC, I could not but wonder how leftists and democrats generally reason. Maybe you all can read it too - and make some meanings from what’s posted. So sad that some gullible people called demonrats will still fall for this - the likes of Obrigidiot.

Wow…just wow.

Look at the faces on the CNN panel as a huge truth bomb is dropped.

A person who repeats the worn out "Michael Obama" is not worth the consideration.

budaatum:
Explaining would make you relevant, so no.

I so love how she's made you irrelevant and ignorable, and won't be surprised when you start calling her Mr Harris for the attention.

basilico:
So says Rasmussen. Trump is up 10 points
Wot does resident idiot thinks. It's not science fiction?

Obrigardo:
Michael and Barack tonight!

IjeBos:
That Roll Call was a vibe.
If there was a competition, Georgia won.

IjeBos:
Congrats, you can copy and paste from the abstract and conclusion. Clap for yourself.
But did you read and understand what you copied and pasted? Clearly not, because it contradicts the point you are trying to make.
So, it's clear you still haven't read the study.
You should stop and leave the science/data to people smarter than you.

bemeruca:
You are ignorant in this. So ignorant.

More people died under Biden than Trump.
Secondly, it is not clear if mask helped during the pandemic. Again, you are a tool with no agency.

basilico:
The lefties fact checkers tried to downplay the study. In unison. He gets his sources from the evil media , let's understand him . He is a lost cause whom everyone here apart from Obrigardo derides every now and then.

IjeBos:
I have read it, well speed read most of it. Have you? Clearly not.
Lol.
Information in the hands of stupid people is a dangerous thing. You're the type of person the advent of the internet was dangerous for.
You're really too stupid to understand what you read so you have to filter it through other people. Other people who have their own agenda.
And in the process you get fooled over and over.

The study was on promoting physical interventions for Covd-19.
So they studied whether promoting stuff like masking or hand washing worked.
Now get that through your thick skull. It wasn't a study on if Masks work to prevent covid, it was a study on if promoting mask wearing is effective in preventing Covid Spread in the 'community'.
And what a shocker. If people aren't wearing masks and not washing hands, especially if people are telling them masks don't work, they won't be very effective in preventing the spread of Covid in the 'community'.

I know it's too complex to understand for someone obviously stupid like you.

Here are 2 studies the authors (and there was more than 1) examined in reaching the conclusion on this study. 2 on Masks, 1 on Hand hygiene.

Anyhow, I'm arguing with a Mor-on who likes to lie. And since I think there's enough info here for any reasonable person who wants it, this has exceed it's value.

Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza-like illness (ILI)/COVID-19 like illness compared to not wearing masks (risk ratio (RR) 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.84 to 1.09; 9 trials, 276,917 participants; moderate-certainty evidence. Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory-confirmed influenza/SARS-CoV-2 compared to not wearing masks (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.72 to 1.42; 6 trials, 13,919 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). Harms were rarely measured and poorly reported (very low-certainty evidence). N95/P2 respirators compared to medical/surgical masks We pooled trials comparing N95/P2 respirators with medical/surgical masks (four in healthcare settings and one in a household setting). We are very uncertain on the effects of N95/P2 respirators compared with medical/surgical masks on the outcome of clinical respiratory illness (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.45 to 1.10; 3 trials, 7779 participants; very low-certainty evidence).

basilico:
Is our resident idiot insisting that masks help in preventing COVID? Or social distancing?
Like these ones?

IjeBos:
So, we've come full circle.
You are now arguing the plain text of the study and the comments of Cochrane the publishers of the study.
You are arguing that instead of reading the actual study, a clip is more representative of the study?
It's not surprising you haven't posted 1 thing from the Study itself that says Masks don't work.
The good thing about these studies is that everyone can read them and the results of the data.
Again, the study was on interventions to promote mask wearing not on whether masks work against covid. That's a fact.
If you read the study you would know that.

Again, you're an example of the failure of education and critical thinking. You seek out sources and believe things which align with what you want to believe or your biases. Coupled with you not being that bright, means you always get fooled and always post uncorroborated bullshit you find on TikTok.

What is the tally of how many times I've made you the fool. It has to be at least 30 times now.

IjeBos:
You are the product of a failed education.



The only people who possibly got confused are people who read the summary and abstract only and not the full study itself. Or idiots like yourself.
So, clearly, you didn't read the full study, nor did the people who told you it was a study on whether masks work.
Keep digging, the stupider you sound.

IjeBos:
Yes, let's take the Cochrane study.
What is hilarious is that Chocrane says people are misinterpreting their study and low and behold you post a link with someone misinterpreting their study with an inaccurate and misleading take.
You clearly have 0 idea what you are talking about vis a vis this study.
You are a 1st class Mor-on. Never thought people as dumb as you exist.
https://www.cochrane.org/news/statement-physical-interventions-interrupt-or-reduce-spread-respiratory-viruses-review

IjeBos:
You live this life that everyone is as stupid as you. We aren't.
The only ones who misinterpreted it are the ones(generally far right trolls with an agenda) who didn't read the study. As the study is clear.
Here is NY times article on it.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/10/opinion/masks-work-cochrane-study.html

Put the shovel down, you've dug a big enough hole.

IjeBos:
This is black and white. You pushed a study you didn't read that didn't say what you thought it did.
The study evaluated whether the government interventions to promote mask wearing worked in reducing Covid-19. And even in that the study was inconclusive as they couldn't tell if people actually wore the masks.
It did not study whether masks works. Whether mask work to prevent Covid-19 is a matter of science, fluid dynamics. And there are myriads of studies showing masks largely do filter our Covid-19 particles (n95 masks filter out 98% of Covid-19 particle).
Here's one:
https://sph.umd.edu/news/study-shows-n95-masks-near-perfect-blocking-escape-airborne-covid-19#:~:text=%E2%80%93%20In%20a%20head%2Dto%2D,from%20escaping%20into%20the%20air.

And the study didn't change. The data was the same. But you wouldn't know as you didn't read it and even if you did, as I said you wouldn't understand it.
You are the Avatar for "a little information is a dangerous thing"


Here's a recap:
Bemeruca: Masks don't work. This study says so. <<Posts section from study he didn't read and doesn't understand>>
IjeBos: Masks do work. You don't understand the study you posted. It didn't study whether masks work. <<posts article describing study>>
Bemeruca: I've read it, you don't understand it, but I do. <<posts something that doesn't say what he thinks it does>
IjeBos: Here is a press release from the study publisher saying "Many commentators have claimed that a recently-updated Cochrane Review shows that 'masks don't work', which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation. ". seemingly talking about you.
Bemeruca: I misinterpreted the findings paragraph of the study I said I read. It's the studies fault that I misinterpreted it. lol.
Also Bemeruca: The study I myself posted was designed to fool people like me. It is a conspiracy to fool dullards who don't really understand what they are reading and post it anyhow. It's fake news.

Would be a bad dialogue if it weren't true.

IjeBos:
Of course it's open to misinterpretation by idiots who get their information on Tiktok and don't actually read that information.
Again, I understood it, you didn't. That should tell you something.

He said the study was 'changed'. Again, you open your mouth and let the stupid fly out. You don't even understand how these studies work to say it was changed.
Tell us again how proper masks don't work. I'm sure you have another easily debunked lie. It's easily debunked because proper masks work. Period.

How many times have you been called out peddling Bullshit?
Everything you believe is built on some lie that is easily debunked.
Your life and beliefs are all Bullshit.

Your motto should be, "Trash in, Trash out. Always and Perpetually Wrong."

IjeBos:
They are literally talking about you in this press release when they say "Many commentators have claimed that a recently-updated Cochrane Review shows that 'masks don't work', which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation. ".
Also talking about you when they say, "has been widely misinterpreted ."

If you did ever go to college, you should get a refund.
You posted a study and don't even understand what it said.
And even though I've explained it to you, you still don't understand what it says.
LOL.
There's few posters dumber than you in this thread.

IjeBos:
You don't even understand the English language enough to understand what you read.
The Cochrane study you wrote about wasn't a study on the efficacy of Masks it was a study on the efficacy of mask interventions (or telling people to wear masks or distributing masks for people to wear).

Here are some quotes from a statement from the editor in chief of the Cochrane Library who did the Study.



Here is the actual study. But don't bother you're too stupid to understand it.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36715243/#full-view-affiliation-1

And the rest is basically a gibberish understanding of interest rates you just googled. You have no real understanding of it.

Shame in life is a good thing. It makes you want to be better. You have no shame and feel no embarrassment so you continue to post nonsense you don't understand, lie and look stupid like you always do.

As I said, you don't even have the capacity to understand the english language so you can understand the things you post like the Cochrane study, let alone the capacity to discuss with someone like me, who has studied these things.

Stick to the stuff you can Bullshit your way through or people you can bullshit.
I'm dying here from second hand embarrassment for you.

The risk of bias for the RCTs and cluster-RCTs was mostly high or unclear. Medical/surgical masks compared to no masks We included 12 trials (10 cluster-RCTs) comparing medical/surgical masks versus no masks to prevent the spread of viral respiratory illness (two trials with healthcare workers and 10 in the community). Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza-like illness (ILI)/COVID-19 like illness compared to not wearing masks (risk ratio (RR) 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.84 to 1.09; 9 trials, 276,917 participants; moderate-certainty evidence.
