This very funny thread is the perfect retort to anti-maskers who say they’re bad for their health

Despite all the obvious benefits of wearing a face mask during the pandemic – for you and everybody else – there remains a minority of people who balk at the idea, saying they’re uncomfortable and even bad for your health.

And while lots of people have pointed out how surgeons (and many other professions) manage to wear a mask and not pass out, no-one does it in quite the style that @CharlTaylorPage does here.

It’s a very funny read and the perfect retort for anti-maskers everywhere.

Masks stop you getting oxygen which is why you see surgeons regularly keeling over the operating table. Brides fainting halfway down the aisle. Hijabi women just passed the fuck out. Dental hygienists falling face first into your gaping mouth. Cowboys falling off their horses

Knife-crime is not the biggest killer of kids in gangs they are actually just dropping dead from wearing bandanas over their face

When your kid runs up to hug Mickey Mouse in the parade? The actor inside that costume is already dead

Jim Carrey died filming the 1994 film The Mask. The lesser known sequel Son of the Mask is a dead parent revenge story. Like a green Batman. Batman is fine because his mask does not cover his mouth or nose

Every halloween hundreds of masked trick or treaters knock on your doors begging for sweets. You think the zombie ghost is a costume but you would be wrong

No need to remember the combo for Flying Dragon Fire Kick, the deoxygenation from that mask will finish him off nicely pic.twitter.com/HSdPr2S4GU

(I just found out one of the guys from Slipknot actually did die so you can replace them with Mushroomhead if you get that reference or idk Phantom of the Opera, is that guy still alive?)

Pussy Riot? Now you know why we never hear from those guys anymore

When they said all your heroes are dead they meant Spiderman, Daredevil, Ant Man, The Flash, Wolverine, Ironman and those kids from PJ Masks who died due to decreased oxygen saturation

Bravo!

And this guy mansplaining – at least, we think that’s what he’s doing – just made it better.

There have been tests about blood oxygen levels while wearing masks, the theme parks did them, for example, and there was no change. Essentially wearing masks has no detrimental effects on oxygen intake at all
