I have never worn a mask and I don't intend to start. When I see people in those filthy things I just shake my head and think, "you moron" they're either too lazy or too indoctrinated by propaganda to even bother to look into wether they work or not.
I recall this paper from when I read it (or a very similar one) back in 2020.
This, plus the timing of the mask mandates in UK (Summer 2020 FFS) meant that I knew that the mask were just a pretraining exercise to get people to accept an unnecessary injection. I was right sadly.
"Wear your mask to protect others" became "take your jab to protect others".
Masks for germs are nothing more than a social construct designed to turn you into an obedient slave. They don't even work in hospitals. I wonder why the most germs you can find are always concentrated in hospitals. The best use for a mask is at Halloween or at a party. Or, if you are a bank robber...which according to the liberals and democrats is now an established occupation.
Using a mask presumes that there are viruses running wild in the wind or air. Please show me that they exist in the air. Where are the samples of proof? Please prove how transmission occurs. Show me all those cute little virus particles stuck in your mask. Can we have some sane and evidenced based science please before we automatically assume viruses move freely and can infect anyone?
Kirsch used to contend that the K100 is the only mask worth wearing, and it’s the one you see in the horror movies. That said, you have to use it correctly which is almost impossible for most people. I wish we could stop discussing masks as a viable option to prevent spread or illness. It’s wasted energy.
Apparently Dr Marc Siegel hasn't read any peer reviewed studies. He was just on Fox News saying masks work and that children aren't wearing them correctly 🙄 🤦
Remember when the forest service put out that memo (re: California fires several years ago) stating that cloth masks, paper masks and N95s will not protect you from smoke particles? You can take it from there. 😂
YEP! John Hopkins came out with a study before narrative was done being used by dems, it stated the prolonged use of N95 masks could cause serious neurological problems. Then 2 Marines came out testing all types of masks and the only mask that offered maybe 5 seconds of not instant contamination was a GAS MASK! All the other masks, cloth, paper and N95, the contamination was instantaneous. You would think that people would dispose of them properly but no, they just toss them out their car windows, SLOBS ALL!! They are HAZARDOUS material, at least have the courtesy to throw them in the trash, preferably YOUR OWN TRASH!! I will not and have not worn a mask and do not intend to start.
DR. TED NOEL [wearing a blue surgical mask]: So without further ado let's cut to the chase and take a look at an ordinary surgical mask. And I'm using a vape. [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] As you can see, that vape which has aerosols the same size as covid-19 or larger [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] goes through and around a surgical mask.
[cut]
[wearing a cup mask] Now if we take a cup mask and have a good look at it, here we go. [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] Notice it goes right through the mask easily and goes in every direction. The aerosol is not affected by the mask in any material form.
[cut]
Now we look at surgical mask with a foam strip to protect above and keep my glasses from fogging. [now wearing the surgical mask with foam strip] [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] Lo and behold, the aerosols go all around it. It has no effect on me spreading aerosols to you.
[cut]
[in a blue cloth mask] Now a cloth mask I borrowed from my wife. Once again, here we go, boom! Straight through and around. [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the mask and the sides of the mask] It has no effect on the spread of aerosols. They go everywhere.
[cut]
[shows package containing Guard mask] And then I went and bought a Guard mask with a high efficiency filter material. That one? Here we go, watch for it. [now wearing in mask] Through and around. [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] It had no effect on the vape aerosol which, remember, is the same size or larger.
[cut]
Now I don't have an N95 mask, I have these shop respirators where they could put all kinds of things in them [pointing to filters] but they're like an N95 because when you breathe out everything goes out through a valve. [puts on mask] [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] Guess what? It might protect me from you, it sure isn't going to protect you from me. Let's look at that again. Boom! [puts on mask] [exhales, clouds of white smoke come out of the sides of the mask] Any mask with a button on it has a valve that lets everything go from you to your neighbor. It has no effect on anything.
[cut]
I think you can get the picture now. There is absolutely nothing that any of these masks do to protect you from me. And the fact is that unless I have a mask which is fully sealed and where I breathe through the filter material both directions, and I have a really high quality filter, nothing is going to protect in either direction. Because just the same way that the vape went out, around, and through, it will come in, around and through. Aerosols will not be stopped by man.
You don't need a big study. All you need is this [holds up vape] because the aerosol here is actually larger in molecular size than the aerosol from your breath. And because your breath has a smaller tighter aerosol, just because it can't be seen ordinarily, that aerosol will go everywhere. It gets through easier, it gets around easier.
Masks. Guard masks. Cloth masks. What are they good for? Oh, here's what they're good for. If I'm going to cough, they make it so I don't have to do this [coughs into a stack of what appears to be Kleenex] and catch the aerosol. Or here [indicates behind his shoulder]. Or pull out a handkerchief and do it.
If you missed it, Justin Hart had a good editorial in Newsweek about how we failed to learn the lessons of the 1918 epidemic and made the same mistakes this time.
My comment has nothing to do with the content of this article but is about the screenshots included in your articles. Unless you're intending on showing "the world" what web sites you frequent, then you may want to consider cropping your screenshots to remove the line of tabs along the top.
I suspect you want to include the web address so that others can find the referenced study or web page, but the other tabs shown "leak" your browsing patterns.
For Windows systems (which it appears you are using), I typically use ShareX as a screen grab tool (you can find it in the Microsoft Store app) which allows you to grab specific portions of your screen. There are dozens of others out there. Or you can simply paste the screen capture into an image editor (even if it's just MS Paint) and crop off the top of the image.
"For some viruses in some situations you may benefit from mitigating the dose of virus you're exposed to.
For example, if you have a weak immune system and/or other comorbidities that place you at high risk of bad outcome from a respiratory virus and you'll be briefly passing through a crowded though otherwise well-ventilated area, that's one case in which wearing a mask might make good sense if you don't have other viable ways of mitigating your risk."
My understanding is that an N95 could work better for some things; however, that would be the case only if it were worn correctly 100% of the time. I highly doubt that more than a tiny percentage consistently wear N95s correctly. Therefore an N95 is just a more annoying and environmentally/financially expensive surgical mask.
Surgical masks are great for keeping visible contaminants from traveling between people and food or other people. I am not sure they achieve anything else worthwhile.
Living in California I see some people still wearing masks. I wore a mask at the beginning of the fake pandemic, but soon stopped since they don’t work.

It was always planned this way.
if i am not mistaken, the flu virion is larger than covid virion; therefore, n95 is even more useless against latter.

Just my two cents.
"For some viruses in some situations you may benefit from mitigating the dose of virus you're exposed to.
For example, if you have a weak immune system and/or other comorbidities that place you at high risk of bad outcome from a respiratory virus and you'll be briefly passing through a crowded though otherwise well-ventilated area, that's one case in which wearing a mask might make good sense if you don't have other viable ways of mitigating your risk."

Thanks again boss. Need to get you up to Alaska someday.
My understanding is that an N95 could work better for some things; however, that would be the case only if it were worn correctly 100% of the time. I highly doubt that more than a tiny percentage consistently wear N95s correctly. Therefore an N95 is just a more annoying and environmentally/financially expensive surgical mask.
Surgical masks are great for keeping visible contaminants from traveling between people and food or other people. I am not sure they achieve anything else worthwhile.
Living in California I see some people still wearing masks. I wore a mask at the beginning of the fake pandemic, but soon stopped since they don’t work.
Again, because there is no 'virus' to protect against.
When are people going to learn?
