Meanwhile in America, students at the University of Iowa: "What do we want? “Mask mandates! When do we want it? Now! And if we don't get it, shut it down!" (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

Yeah, it’s the same in Aus. This is quite literally how they behave.

Young, naïve, selfish and stupid. I would firmly believe this is real, if fairly unpopular with the general student population, I would hope...

Try pinging that for “Rule 1”, Dom, I dare you...

I can only offer anecdotes, not data but at the community college I teach at (in NY):

There is a vax mandate for students, due to the state govt, and there is a mask mandate while indoors (unless you're a student athlete at practice/a game - it's safe then). But, the students are only half-heartedly complying that I can see, and one of them asked me today if I knew if the mask mandate would be lifted once we hit the deadline (Sept 27th) for when the students need to be vaccinated.

Admin cares a lot, most of the other faculty seem to care a lot, students seem to be apathetic or annoyed.

It's just a handful of braincucked retards that ate up too much mainstream media.
They're literally consumer NPC's without a single original thought in their retard brains.

Science Experiment for the Retard Kids!:

  • Take a handful of BB's.
  • Walk up to a chain link fence.
  • Throw handful of BB's at chain link fence.
  • Observe.

Congratulations! You now know the efficacy of your piece of shit cloth mask!
Next time, study things before you go out and do stupid retard stunts to collect virtue points.
You'd also find that less than 600 18 and under have died this entire "pandemic." With over 50% of them having preexisting conditions. I know these kids are a bit older, but it's honestly close enough and I don't feel like looking their age group up.

That's not a great comparison. Static and Brownian motion would capture some particles, even very small ones because at that scale it's more like a forest than a fence. The actual reason masks don't work is because the particles are so small that they have very little momentum and therefore go with the flow and the air flow takes the path of least resistance which is around the mask.

When being ignorant of information is treated as a virtue you get this. None of these students could read a scientific paper, and that’s exactly what the college wants.

Despite the data in the scientific paper regarding masks being quite clear that cloth masks show little effectiveness (and always within the margin of error of no effectiveness) the conclusions almost always say "cloth masks work". That's why we have the odd situation that pro and anti-mask articles will cite the exact same study, the latter citing the actual data and the former citing the politicized conclusion.

There's one graph that appears in an influential mask study (and about a million meta analysis "studies") that shows the effectiveness of 100% of people wearing a cloth masks as being roughly equal to 5% of people wearing an N95 mask, but it's not zero so to pro-mask activists that counts as "working."

What’s even funnier is the one person double masked with an N-95 is clearly not form fit and has gaps, which completely nullifies the use. I was trained heavily on proper ppe in the military, spent too much time in gas chambers that would leave you vomiting and nauseous from having the tiniest leak in your scba. The efficacy of mask studies are a joke just off the fact I have never seen anyone in public with a form fitted n-95, anecdotal I know, but I know the studies don’t cover it.

There actually is a study where they put 3mm gaps in the N95 and it dropped the effectiveness to nearly as bad as cloth.

I wonder, do they know the masks and vaxes don't work, or is this just epic levels of cognitive dissonence?

This is what happens when parents don't raise their own children. They let the state and media do it. Filtering everything that the child could experience and learn to the point that they don't know what to make of reality when they do come across it in the real world. When they start it off with setting them in front of "kid's movies and shows" and hide the real world from them. That child doesn't even know what violence is, can not even comprehend nature or death when it is explained to them in unrealistic terms.

Safe spaces... Protecting kids from every little word or thing that might possibly trigger or offend them. So many will simply be afraid of the reality that they don't understand because they were taught that they should not have to even experience it. The right to hide and ignore! Lol

When confronted with something that may be unpleasant, they act like toddlers, squeeze their eyes shut and covering their ears. "I shouldn't have to hear this! I shouldn't have to see this! It is offending me! It is everyone else's fault that bad things happen and I can not cope with it properly and find a solution".

People afraid of their own shadows because they were not conditioned properly. Everything is inappropriate now. "Make it go away".

Kids getting taught that there is something wrong with them from the start is one of the worst things IMO. All of this mental illness like ADD and spectrum shit. Shit that in my opinion was not so widespread that every other person is being treated for mental illness. Oh my anxiety, depression, developmental disabilities, etc... For most people, it is just feelings and personality traits. Well, there is a medication for all those things now! Medications for feelings because we shouldn't have to deal with those things either. Big pharma and the medical establishment will take care of that!

Well guess what! THERE WENT LIKE HALF THE POPULATION'S ACCOUNTABILITY! Seems like more than half of anyone can go get diagnosed and treated right now if they have feelings they don't like (edit) and/or behaviors that those in charge don't like.

Just stay laying down if you can't even live your life without having control over others. I am not sorry if you are offended and scared. You never had control or accountability in your life so it is probably too late for you anyway.

Every single one of these brainlets will be across the street lined up at the Cookies & More in an hour without masks on talking about how awesome they are and how terrible Kim Reynolds is.

Unless the school has a no mask policy ( which they may have in sense of Halloween masks on campus outside of Halloween) then nothing stops them from wearing a mask if they want to

There was a sizeable chunk of the American population whose only complaint about the Kent State shooting was that the national guard did not subsequently fix bayonets and charge the protesters.

blocking paved avenues that people use to get places

They're on the east Pentacrest. Nobody actually goes there for anything meaningful; Macbride is a museum and Schaeffer is LAS administration.

The only thing people do on the Pentacrest is sit around looking at smartphones pretending they aren't just completely dead inside.
