Yuuup. Anyone who thinks that crowd wasn't specially tested and everything to ensure safety is idiotic.

Also, excellent detective work, Spuds!

It's just a bunch of BS that to declare you even know what really is happening and highly disingenuous since of all the disinformation out there.
Defensive? We're literally talking about three people who work in such a position that they're extremely likely to be tested on a daily or near daily basis, which means they know if they're going to be transmitting the disease. And not only that, they're literally the only people in that photo because normal fans weren't allowed to the ballpark that day. Their masks are more likely for when they interacted with ballpark staff that day.

Are you really choosing this hill to die on? Lol.

And if anyone is spreading "disinformation", it's pretty much only you, considering you're posting photos that are completely different from what you're insinuating they are.

Yea, I wasn't able to find one further out.

Ironically, I recognized it wasn't the correct one because I remember my wife making a comment about how she wasn't a fan of the First Lady's blue coat.

Here's the video "evidence".

There's a good shot of the crowd spread out at 15:26 and a shot of the folks on the platform at 19:03.

Of course, there is always the ultimate proof of poor Bernie Sanders sitting all alone in his mittens that I'm guessing you've seen at least one version of somewhere.

Zoom out and everybody wearing a mask except the 5 main people being photographed including the new leader of the country that says "wear your mask". Always have an answer for everything the hypocrites do but I guess that is expected. "Everybody was tested so it's ok"..... Really? Didn't answer up for Pelosi or Cuomo though since that will take some more research to figure out their excuse they gave for their utter BS. Same fucking mortality as the flu(that suddenly is non-existed now). So dangerous that we're were wearing cloth diapers on our faces because viruses can't penetrate through thin cotton fabric. Science is fun!
Keep your heads in the sand, it protects against the virus.

If you want to be taken seriously I recommend avoiding sarcastic insults and cursing. All it does is make you seem like an unreasonable fanatic when I am sure you are just as rational as everyone else in reality. I'll try to help you organize your thoughts here.

1. I recommend that you watch the inauguration before commenting on it. The speakers and performers took their mask off at the podium, then put them back on to go sit down. Plus they were outside which is less of a risk than an enclosed space. Recommend looking up some academic studies on natural and engineered airflow if you want to understand why that is.

2. I'm not going to defend the pictured individuals. You can judge them how you want. As a counterpoint to consider, is it wrong of them to go support the local business that were otherwise suffering due to the policies they were forced to enact? I mean, NYC avoided closing down until it was too late and look what happened, so I doubt the mayor was happy about it.

2.5 You seem to be glossing over the fact that you were either fed an image in an inappropriate context with the intent to deceive you or that you knowingly attempted to deceive this forum using the same method (or a result of some motive/event I am unaware of). Acknowledging and addressing this may go a long way to restoring your credibility here.

3. Where are you getting your mortality numbers for the flu and covid-19? I would love to see the primary source of this data. Emphasis on PRIMARY source.

4. Masks are worn to reduce the shedding of virus over a wide area by keeping the water droplets that contain viruses from spreading beyond your face. Please explain your understanding of the mechanics of a virus penetrating cotton fabric. Then explain your understanding of how dry air filters work. Then explain how these are different.

These points will hopefully serve as a good starting point should you wish to have a conversation. I believe they will set you up to be a bit more successful in presenting and discussing your view of the matter.

Newsflash-

Spreading misinformation about Covid19, vaccines, masks, pandemics and authority are the #1 choice for troll bait so far in 2021.

Good news is few people are negative influencers of any scale in that arena. So, you can shoot them down for sport, not duty.

They're on every forum, usually just 1 or 2. When we all die from the toxic vaccines they'll I inherit the earth. lol

Maybe they'll just blame those "accidents" on the flu since nobody seems to be getting it any more.

Good luck guinea pigs lol, I'm out.

Since we’re both car guys, here’s an analogy that should be helpful.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/05/us/ho...rnd/index.html

https://www.sacbee.com/news/nation-w...225337600.html

Because I’ve found news sources on airbags killing people, I’m going to decide that from now on any car I drive in must have airbags completely disabled and/or I won’t wear a seatbelt.

Obviously we can’t trust seatbelts or airbags since they can be faulty and clearly don’t even help young children.

Right?
