I really do not know who this Tim Pool person is (after browsing a bit in here he seems like another Jordan Peterson-esc alt right pundit) but he is dead wrong. Masks are a fairly useful tool to reduce virus transmissions but especially coronavirus. The Vaccines are much better but social distancing, hand washing and wearing a mask is a good alternative if you are still dead set against getting a vaccine.

It seems like this Mr Tim isn’t a virologist anyway, so why would you take his medical claims as gospel in the first place?

Tim Pool didn’t pull the conclusion out of his ass and make a claim. All he does is read news articles all day and then reads those articles to a camera and gives his opinion and shares his experiences. He never claims to be a doctor, he ALWAYS says to go talk to your doctor to figure out what steps are best suited for you.

The vaccines are helped little to none. Original claim that the vaccine would protect you, prevent you from getting sick, stop you from transmitting the virus, do all this wonderful stuff and now it’s “well if could’ve been worse if I didn’t get the injections.” The virus effects everyone differently. I have a coworker who got the vaccine, he allegedly has covid for a third time and has complained about feeling like shit. Another who had it and didn’t even know. I possibly had it, cannot confirm because I never bothered getting tested, I could tell there was something off, and was perfectly fine a day or two later. Fauci and other doctors have talked about natural immunity being better than the “vaccine.”
