Where is the scientific spirit ?
I hate to break the news to you, but viruses are not spread through vaping. And yes, these kinds of masks don't completely stop aerosols from spreading. Instead they reduce their spread, slowing and diverging particles so they won't travel as far as they would without a mask. This effect is demonstrated in the videos you replied to. There's another video linked in this article debunking the video you posted that shows that these kinds of masks (and N95 masks which your video didn't cover) when properly used do reduce the spread of vape smoke. But neither of these videos are scientific proof of anything and they're purely anecdotal.jonetsu wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 12:16 pmIt seems that a lot of science talk is needed to prove the efficiency.sunrat wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 2:18 amWatch and learn:

And why N95 masks are extra effective (it's not the size of the holes):

So simple tests such as this one can be obfuscated ?

I'll tell you where you're going wrong. You've started with a conclusion. You already have a conclusion and selectively choose data that fits. This is a logical fallacy called cherry picking.jonetsu wrote:Where is the scientific spirit ?
So you do not want to look into the numbers reported by VAERS and EudraVigilance official databases, isn't it ?merlyn wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 12:50 pmI'll tell you where you're going wrong.

To be more scientific start with the data. Then take logical steps from the data to reach a conclusion.
You mean, the virus got killed by the products involved in vaping ?robbert-vdh wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 12:41 pm I hate to break the news to you but viruses are not spread through vaping.
Er, there are other examples out there that includes N95 masks.robbert-vdh wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 12:41 pm ... debunking the video you posted that shows that these kinds of masks (and N95 masks which your video didn't cover) when properly used do reduce the spread of vape smoke.

Thanks for the suggestion !robbert-vdh wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 12:41 pm Also, could you please stop quadruple posting? This fills up the thread quite a lot. Thanks!
No, I'm saying that you cannot take anecdotal evidence for one thing, and then use that as proof for another thing that may appear to be similar but is not quite the same as the other thing.
Large particles are flowing out of the masks. Most people can see it.robbert-vdh wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 1:16 pmNo, I'm saying that you cannot take anecdotal evidence for one thing, and then use that as proof for another thing that may appear to be similar but is not quite the same as the other thing.
Go tell the WHO ? (Not Peter Townsend)
If I'm not mistaken this is a discussion. Not an academic forum introducing papers.
They don;t wanna hear it, although I don't understand why.jonetsu wrote: ↑Sat Jun 05, 2021 1:32 pm As you very well know we think using words.
Anyone still thinks that the definition of "pandemic" still has to do with lethality, deaths or even, affecting people ?
Because obviously that's not the case. Anymore.
The WHO:
"Risk is assessed by anticipation of severity and precaution should be calibrated to risk. As Doshi has argued, we need to redefine pandemic influenza. We can then describe the potential severity range of future pandemics. Finally, we need to use evidence to assess severity early to anticipate risk."
https://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/89/7/11-088815/en/
All fine to anticipate in some way.
Hopefully no-one on Earth today is actually scared by the word "pandemic" somewhere in his/her (sub)consciousness because there's no need to.
If you start to panic when a potential aggressor is making big eyes at you then you will be less able to defend yourself.
Yes, cherry picking is one of the logical fallacies in your posts. Your posts also have a lot of non sequiturs, in addition to too many rhetorical questions that don't go anywhere and faulty metaphors.jonetsu wrote:So you do not want to look into the numbers reported by VAERS and EudraVigilance official databases, isn't it ?
Looking into the official numbers you like, but not other official numbers and then saying what ? Something about cherry picking ?
