Gina Carano Sueing for Wrongful Termination from Disney

Her views on masks and vaccinations.
Not actually misinformation. If you want to use a bad-sounding word to describe her beliefs, I'd suggest "malinformation" is a bit closer to the mark, as it means factually true material which is censored because it interferes with the agenda of the people in charge.

Masks do not work because they cannot work. Viruses are much smaller than the gaps in the mask material. Prior to 2020 we had many high-quality studies on mask effectiveness and every one came to the same conclusion: that masking has no statistically significant effect on the spread of influenza-like illnesses.
 
I don't fully recall fully what Carano said but from what remember is she was trying to say the way people treat each other(assuming she is talking about social media and cancel culture) was similar to how Nazi Germany got started. Granted she has said other others as well that are actually kind of worst but the Nazi metaphor is the one people honed in on. Because people love calling people Nazi's. Almost as much as they love quoting George Orwell. Can't go a day without someone comparing modern times to "1984" or "Animal Farm" these days.
 
Denial of the election results did cause violence and she perpetuated those claims. She may have personally not called for violence but she echoed voices that did.

Her views on masks and vaccinations.

If you still see nothing wrong then I wish you well but I'm afraid I will never understand your point of view.

What voices? She denied the election results and than there was violence? As I recall she was barely on the radar in 2020 and early 2021. You seem to really be magnifying this. She's a wrestler and actress. She hasnt done anything to inflame violence.

Viruses don't float around independently, they are always attached to something. In the case of face masks, the air we breath out contains microscopic drops of water and any viruses are carried on the droplets. The gaps in the mask are small enough to block the droplets, hence limiting the spread of contagion.

Do you think that surgeons just wear them for the lolz?
 
Surgeons don't wear them to protect themselves from viruses. ( But you undoubtedly know this and still run around playing this tired game everywhere. )

Besides -- "surgeons wear them" isn't exactly a compelling talking point for those of us who aren't surgeons. Carano isn't a surgeon. I'm not a surgeon. While we're at it, how many other jobs should I wear the uniform of, despite not actually being in the profession? Should I dress like a deep-sea diver? A sumo wrestler? A guy who works on the deck of an aircraft carrier? Where does it end?

Viruses aren't solely spread through droplets, most respiratory viruses are spread by aerosols. Hence the repeatedly observed inability of masks to do anything to limit the spread of contagion. That's why the most heavily mask-compliant countries saw massive spikes in their virus numbers even when virtually everyone was masked. In one case the mask compliance was near 100% yet at one point there was a one million percent increase in case numbers. One million percent. That's your mask working.
