“I’ve tried to have a legitimate conversation with him”
I’m unclear. Was that the time you called me a dumbass ? Motherfucker ? Stupid ? Nuts ? Ideologue ? Autistic ? Beyond help ? Weak idiot ? Right wing extremist ? Ignorant ?
Which of those comments was you trying to have a legitimate conversation ?

“Why aren’t you deconstructing his arguments dispassionately and responding based on their substance?”
Okay, give me a minute to analyze this substance from 25

Some people go to college and take courses in logic, rhetoric, philosophy, and speech. They learn how to craft a well reasoned argument.
25 seems to have spent all his time in comedy clubs listening to second rate insult comics.

“he’s seriously nuts”
So, name calling really is the only arrow in your quiver.

Justin: here is one key paragraph from the article/abstract. This is a long, long way from proving masks work. Note that “ clinical trials have shown inconsistent or inconclusive results”
“The effectiveness of masks, however, is still under debate. Compared with N95 or FFP2 respirators, which have very low particle penetration rates (~5%), surgical and similar masks exhibit higher and more variable penetration rates (~30 to 70%) (2, 3). Given the large number of particles emitted upon respiration and especially upon sneezing or coughing (4), the number of respiratory particles that may penetrate masks is substantial, which is one of the main reasons for doubts about their efficacy in preventing infections. Moreover, randomized clinical trials have shown inconsistent or inconclusive results, with some studies reporting only a marginal benefit or no effect of mask use (5, 6).”

I’m glad 25 doesn’t resort to name calling. Always taking the high ground.

Here’s my summary of the results from the Science article “ in theory, masks probably help.” There is no empirical data that they actually work.

25: you might want to look at the hierarchy of argument
My contention: Masks don’t work. Show me evidence to the contrary
Your response: You’re ignorant.

Random: Refer to my earlier comment on the hierarchy of arguments. Ad Hominem attacks and name calling, the weakest response in any discussion. Now, refute the fact that there are 2 standards for what mask protocols need to be followed. One standard for the “sophisticated” and one for the deplorables.

Okay, now find one scientific study that shows masks do any good, other than N95 surgical masks. Masks are worthless at stopping CoVid. They are simply virtue signaling.

For me, the best club experience is if there are 2 or 3 favorites who I know and enjoy. First, a little conversation. Then, several dances where the dancer knows what I enjoy.

His TV interview a year ago was a disaster. You aren’t supposed to ask tough questions. He was flummoxed. I look forward to watching the deposition.

A little background for Dr Phil and others. Graham’s hierarchy of disagreement describes the effectiveness, and quality, of arguments in a debate. The very lowest level of response is name calling. The next level up is ad hominem attacks ( questioning the source of facts ). Dr Phil ( and others on the left ) respond almost entirely in one of these two ways. In their world, this passes for wit. Among those who’ve been trained in the art of debate, it reveals their lack of mental discipline.

A NYT columnist said on CNN that she’s not concerned about spreading CoVid because the people at Obama’s party were “sophisticated”. On the same day, Fauci said he was worried about the Sturgis rally. Apparently, only unsophisticated people spread the virus.

Here’s a little news on the big, scary Delta variant from countries that got it before us.
. In the U.K., daily confirmed cases of COVID-19 have fallen by 50% in the past week after the country experienced its largest wave of infections in months. In India, where the Delta variant first emerged, confirmed COVID-19 infections have dropped by a factor of ten in the last few months—after peaking at nearly 400,000 daily infections in May.

“Why don’t you return to posting stories about your adventures in clubbing and OTC and lay off the covid?”
Says Dr Phil, who has never reviewed a club but goes on for 10 paragraphs with CoVid snippets he found on the internet.

You forgot to mention Haitians. Have you noticed a few more of them in Florida since their President was assassinated?

Deaths are the lowest they’ve been since March 2020. Yes, there has been a slight uptick in cases but the vaccines are protecting people from death. So, they are doing their job.
As to why there is an uptick in cases, I’m inclined to look at the Southern Border for an answer. A million unvaccinated, often infected, illegal immigrants have been allowed in the country and housed in crowded warehouses before being transported around the country. If you designed a system for increasing cases, this would be it.
