Doctors are finally admitting that masks are effective...

[Woodznutz]

...in reducing infections from the annual flu outbreaks. Who knew? Lots of us who were advocating for years masking in the schools during the winter cold and flu season. The "experts" debunked this saying that they weren't effective, all the while masking themselves while treating patients, insisting that masking was to prevent hospital staff from infecting patients. How loony is that?

That was YESTERDAY.

It's been 24 hours since THAT bullshit.

Zero evidence to back your assertion.

 

[martybegan]

Zero evidence to back your assertion.

And that's even before you get into a risk/benefit ratio of wearing even an effective mask for months at a time over colds/flus.

 

[Woodznutz]

Zero evidence to back your assertion.

You have to study the subject.

 

[Woodznutz]

The current appraisal is,

"I don't like masks, therefore they are not effective."

The concession is,

"Well, they may be effective in hospitals, but not in schools."

 

[Sunsettommy]

You have to study the subject.

I posted over a dozen hard science papers about masks over 1 1/2 years ago here.

Did any of them cite results of school masking during cold and flu season in the years prior to Covid?

No, it did better than that they showed masks don't stop transmission of viruses and influenzas in the first place thus irrelevant if it was in a school setting or not.

So there were no actual trials in the schools.

 

[shockedcanadian]

What about the concept that exposure to viruses and the like, especially in ones healthy youth is GOOD for the body and immune system in the long run?

It may be impossible to measure on a quantitative basis long term throughout ones life, but there must be lifelong benefits to exposures..

Masks works the same way no matter WHERE they are used surely you can't be that dense?

The downside is the millions of deaths worldwide from flu. Of course one could rationalize that people have to die of something.

The point would be to reduce the number of infections.

 

[Ghost1776]

The flat out lies omg lmfao. No doc. Are admitting they don’ twork and never worked if you have a brain you know this.
Why, ask any biological lab working expert who hasn’t sold their soul- Firest of you dumb asses your eyes are exposed if a virus is as deadly as these political idiots have told you this virus would and could ENTER YOUR EXPOSED EYES!
2. Look at people work in a level 4 lab u idiots they have on way more than just a material mask.


3. Mask have proven been proven to cause anti bacterial pnamonia.

4. This made you look like fools to see who would comply

5. These mask have become a politcal symbol .

HazMat suits are even more "effective."

Some masks are more effective than others but uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. Cloth masks are not very effective But are more comfortable.

Can face masks protect against COVID-19?

Face masks can help slow the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Learn about mask types, which masks to use and how to use them.

You are really slow today already stated it doesn't stop transmission of viruses, only the N-95 Masks have good blocking capability of viruses but that depends on them being worn properly and for a short time over a clean face.

My words at Post 9,

"No, it did better than that they showed masks don't stop transmission of viruses and influenzas in the first place thus irrelevant if it was in a school setting or not."

FACT there are ZERO masks on the planet that blocks out viruses.

You haven't posted any evidence to support your assertions thus you have done nothing here.

When did my assertion go from "reducing infections" to "blocking out viruses"? Reread my OP.
