Even though they maintain they’re being “canceled” (despite having one of the biggest songs on rock radio right now), Falling In Reverse – specifically vocalist Ronnie Radke – is undoubtedly successful. However, Radke, a 38 year-old man who’s known for starting and maintaining Internet arguments on social media as much as he is for actual music, continues to start controversy. His latest claim to fame? Offering his expert medical and scientific opinions on various topics, including mocking the use of masks during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite plenty of scientific and medical evidence that points to the contrary.
So, who still thinks wearing a mask is helping? LMAO

If you don’t think being forced to show a vaccine card to enter a public place is insane,you need to think,omicron is not deadly, the vaccine does not stop you from spreading it, so showing a vaccine card is pointless and a form of control issued by your governors. I’ll stop now.

The tl;dr version: Just in case you’re blocked by him on Twitter, Ronnie Radke decided to post a status that amounted to “So, who thinks wearing a mask is still helping? LMAO”. He then has proceeded for most of the day to argue with people on the Internet – including even some in the medical field – that they don’t.
Despite having an apparently sold-out show in Kansas City tonight, Radke has continued to argue with people on Twitter about this. You know, because there’s not a better use of your time than arguing with actual medical professionals on Twitter.
I’m not anti vax, vaccines have saved humanity history has shown, the covid vaccine isn’t a vaccine, that’s why they changed the definition of vaccine when it came out, I got Pfizer because I wanted to tour. But I ain’t getting anything else. It’s absurd at this point https://t.co/ijEP8tRA7v

Stanford and the NIH seem to think masks are highly effective. Probably from colossal study, Ronnie. https://t.co/EGK4zy29qV
