Wearing a mask and constantly washing our hands and using hand sanitizer cant be good for our immunity can it?

My advice for you is to head down to your local shopping centre, stand at the bottom of the down travelator and put your tongue on the big black rubber band. The exposure you get to germs and bacteria will bolster your immune system bigly.

Considering the company you keep, OP, I doubt you have anything to worry about.

I practically surf in raw sewage, I am not concerned about me, I am concerned for others, and the common wealth of our society.

That is what I have always believed. You need to exercise your immune system to keep it strong by interacting with the environment around you at measured doses. This is literally what evolution designed us for. For all of human history we have been subject to germs yet somehow we got here.

Going OCD with the sanitizer and masks is going to open your immune system up to a big hit when some bug comes along. Even with Covid. If your immune system is peaking you will be able to fight off a dose of Covid.

Yet what libs propose is we should all weaken our immune system. Cowering in fear under your bed and becoming a germophobe like Howard Hughes.

This is also what was said in that video by Drs. Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi before liberals censored it at the behest of the WHO and Xi Jinping to kneecap the USA because liberals hate America and love bending over for Chinese fascists and censoring badthink ideas. Muh right side of history.

Libs are literally trying to kill you by compromising your immune system. Really makes you think.

It's always nice to hear from a renowned immunologist on the matter.

Guess what happens with the immune system when a child enters the world via C-section vs natural childbirth?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30487172/

"Epidemiological studies have shown that children born by cesarean section (CS) are at higher risk of developing chronic inflammatory diseases, and it has been suggested that a skewed gut microbial colonization process early in life and altered priming of the immune system are causative."

https://sciencenordic.com/birth-c-se...orders/1411238
"Giant study links C-sections with chronic disorders

People born by C-section, more often suffer from chronic disorders such as asthma, rheumatism, allergies, bowel disorders, and leukaemia than people born naturally."

Today I am actually going to wear a mask, because of the warship that is burning a few miles away from my house.

People keep saying masks, but there's a big difference between n95 types and what people are walking around with. Nevermind the handling of them

"Masks" is definitely a misleading term. "Face covering" is what people should be saying.

[Dre4]

I wear my mask knowing it won't protect me, unlike the idiots who keep preaching Mask it or Casket. Only wearing it to prevent backlash from paniccels and going violent over nothing.

But on topic, I sometimes forget to wash my hands after touching something that probably isn't sanitized but I don't freak out about it. My way of the 80/20 rule.

They compromise our immune systems much in the same way that sometimes a seatbelt restricts someone and they end up in a burning car or drowning in one that sinks in a pond.

Meanwhile, they're overall very effective at saving lives or making people safer 999 out of 1,000 times, probably quite a lot more, although they certainly do not make you invulnerable and incapable of being hurt in a car wreck.

So, wear a mask and put on your seatbelt. Your likely dirty mask won't offer any protection to you but if EVERYONE were to do it, those people who are capable of spreading it and put on a mask are less likely to do it.

[JaegerBrah]

Immediate effects are most likely pros that will outweigh the cons but for prolonged usage, it seems like it would become a detriment to your health.

Are we still complaining about the damn face covers? wearing a cover over your face for 20 minutes while you go in and out of a grocery store isn't going to lower your immune system and make you vulnerable to disease unless you've been wearing something over your face your entire life. Also, there are professions where you have to wear masks (not face coverings) for the majority of the 8-12 hour shift while you're at work. I've worked in healthcare (Sterile processing/sterile compounding/drug manufacturing) in various capacities for my entire working life and i've had to wear N95 masks for 8 to 12 hours per day only taking them off for breaks, lunch and to replace them per SOP. I don't have respiratory issues from breathing in "excessive CO2" I don't get sick more because my immune system is somehow weak from not being exposed to natural flowing air particles. People need to stop parroting random infographics they read on ********;

I'm in UTC so I don't see the smoke. Is it really eveloping the sky? I haven't been down there to check.

Yea, downtown is filled with smoke and a toxic metallic smell. I'm heading north for a little bit, I have heard people in north county complaining about the smell.

[nin-com-poop]

Since we're talking about immune system/health. They were be psychological implications from constantly wearing a mask. People will develop a form of anxiety from being exposed to others that have the likelihood of infecting them with other diseases and they're not wearing a mask. Mark my words.

Damn well, I guess I better stay up here. Did most of my shopping and outings in Del Mar over the weekend so I haven't seen anything.

[sooby]

i honestly doubt wearing a mask for an hour to do your shopping is going to compromise your immune system.

if anything just spend some time outside throughout the day without a mask

obviously there are exceptions such as people who have trouble breathing properly

with that said it's lookin like some dystopian reality outside lol. Just waiting for the day where we can no longer enter businesses without the minimum of a Hazmat suit and an immunization certificate for COVID-19. Inb4 it's a business' right not to serve you if you don't have these.

I'm in Kensington and I legit thought there was a fire in the canyon behind me last night lmao. I feel stupid now.

[Maestro]

The thing is, there are only a handful of respiratory issues that would harm a person if they wore a mask. Suddenly EVERYONE has a breathing issue and are therefore exempt from wearing a mask.

Cystic Fibrosis
having a lung removed due to lung cancer
COPD

are the three most common and if you have one of these conditions you wouldn't even be able to walk around the grocery store to shop with out carting along an O2 tank. I highly doubt the 38 year old soccer-mom who rides bikes on the weekend is suddenly going to die from wearing a mask for 20 minutes

San Diego crew. And yes, that is a reason to wear a mask. That **** smelled bad af

[BearyManilowe]

Imagine starting a thread thinking that A) wearing a mask will cause health problems and B) thinking that standard hygiene procedures will reduce your immune system.

I mean a fukin guy ITT said that washing your hands is bad for your immune system. What kind of dirty fuk is he?

So you are saying their effectiveness is probably more like 1,200 out of 1,000 times...since its probably alot more than 999 out of 1,000 times?

Seatbelts? Probably. I can hypothesize a weird set of circumstances where they are harmful but most of the time in car crashes, you'll want to be wearing one.

Masks? Who the **** knows. Probably marginal, although if everyone wore them and did a responsible job I bet it would really slow the spread down. I doubt they offer any protection to you but probably do help keep sick from spreading it.
