Masks

[CaliforniaCowboy]

I cannot get my head around the fact that you, who said you were a forensics specialist, and who presumably spent a career wearing respirators of all sorts to protect yourself from airborne contaminants, are an outspoken opponent of wearing masks for personal and community risk mitigation.

N95 or better masks that are worn "Properly" can block the Virus.

Cloth masks can not and do not. But they do get people putting their dirty hands all over them and then putting them on their faces over and over to breathe in what they just transferred on them. Adjusting constantly. You are better off with no mask, keeping your face clear of unsanitary masks and keeping your hands away from your face.

Mask mandates aren't about public health.
They are about public conditioning of compliance.

Many of us recognized that from the very beginning.

None of this has ever been about the illness.

I'd like to see one conclusive SCIENTIFC study that masks effectively protect the individual AND community. No Fauci Fun Facts that are rarely based on facts. A scientific study from a recognized and peer reviewed scientific journal.



For the most part, masks are a distraction set up by the Demwitiots to further their attack on the President and to ignore the big issue, that being the creation and release of a virus on the US and world by the ChiCom government.

Does this one work?

I'm willing to bet that many (all?) politicians invested in startup boutique mask companies in early 2020.

People wear stupid little cloth patches on their faces, I don't think they even believe it does anything but they wear it to show that they are "doing their part". It's pathetic and stupid.

Folks who wore masks, if they get covid, have better outcomes.

Boy - I'd love to see a cite for this.

Chris Martenson explains it pretty well. He's been way ahead of everyone on this, suggesting masks back in mid February.

His first two claims in his video are unknown at this time and therefore BS. Not much real science going on, just lots of speculation in that video.

If I was so afraid of a virus that I thought it was deadly I wouldn't trust a mask or ripped t-shirt (my "mask") to protect me. I'd stay in my house.

The CDC thinks cloth masks cause more infections.

Skip past the abstract where they sugar coat it.

"Studies of Cloth Mask Efficacy.....

Rates of infection were consistently higher among those in the cloth mask group than in the medical mask and control groups. This finding suggests that risk for infection was higher for those wearing cloth masks. The mask tested was a locally manufactured, double-layered cotton mask. Participants were given 5 cloth masks for a 4-week study period and were asked to wash the masks daily with soap and water (4). The poor performance may have been because the masks were not washed frequently enough or because they became moist and contaminated. "

Nope.

Trapping all the crap you breathe out and recycling it back into your system is good.

Science!

You left out the part where this was in 2015, and in Vietnam.

You also ignore that these researchers who have looked into this extensively still recommend cloth masks because they're a **** ton better than nothing.

Look at this:

"We conclude, based on the evidence showing a benefit for cloth masks and the recent reports supporting a role for aerosols in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, that cloth masks will be effective when used correctly."

All this horse**** about 'making people compliant' and sheep and all this other crap is ridiculous. Wear a mask. Put a political statement on it. Wear an NRA bandana. A gadsen flag. A maga one. An AR-15 one. Individualize it. Make it yours. Use it like a stupid truck nuts or bumper sticker.

Wear the damn mask when you're near people you don't know. It really isn't that onerous.

[LBDamned]

^^^ why is the news reporting about contaminated masks? TODAY.

its not about the illness. That's complete BS.
