“Missing context” is the most absurd aspect of the absurd world of “fact-checking.” They’re not even pretending there is anything factually amiss. They’re just flat out saying “this needs to be spun in a way that reinforces our preconceived narrative.”

I've said this MANY times... drawers and pants can't stop a fart molecule, which is orders of magnitude larger than a SARS-CoV-2 virion, but a mask will??? Critical thinking is in very short supply.

More Context: underwear must be inspected for holes and tears before donning. It should always be adjusted and worn correctly, never below the upper intergluteal cleft, sometime known colloquially as the “butt crack.”

Underwear should be changed frequently for best effectiveness. Defective underpants should be discarded in the trash, not on the ground. Remember to wash your hands before and after dropping your drawers.

Studies have shown that Underwear gas filtration achieves maximum results when used in conjunction with social distancing and by strictly adhering to the practice of “holding it in.”

You should also consider wearing additional pairs of underwear for an increased sense of protectiveness.

Do your part to save granny. And the climate.

I think the missing context is "IF YOU BELIEVE THIS YOU ARE A MORON"

If those fact checkers haven’t read Orwell’s 1984, they are also missing context.

Do you think they'll shart their pants once they figure out they've been blinded by the Fast Moving Science?

That darn 'malinformation' always needs 'additional context', unlike the narrative, which can safely be taken at face value.

Perhaps we can arrange a sequel experiment that juxtaposes the Wuhan outbreak with Event 201, along the lines of "Whoever smelt it, dealt it."

Well done to Lilith. Perhaps more for the Ridicule 'em to Death Samizdat Lamppost Campaign?

Perhaps Ms. Lilith could reword the post: "This can hold sh*t" and "So does this."

tobacco smoke is the same size as the virus. Put on your mask and walk into a cigar shop and tell me if you can smell cigars. Mask does not work.

Here are two Marines testing masks against bear spray which is the same size.

This just in..boxer briefs offer significantly better protection from farts than tighty whiteys. Please be considerate, your underpants protect me.

But can the mask stop everyone from the "fallout" of flatulence?

I will miss the CobraCommader look-I was a GI Joe fan when I was young.

Will the next generation of masks be more effective for those that demand them, ie something that will disallow other from hearing them speak?

Two days with out a Google alert on "Fauci" must mean CaptainTrips has been reassigned.
