Important New Paper: MASKS DO NOT WORK

[excalibur]

I have said from the beginning that masks don't work.

The link to the study is in the first sentence below.



The paper is Facemasks in the COVID-19 era: A health hypothesis in Medical Hypothesis, by Baruch Vainshelboim. (I am thrilled to say this beats me to the punch on the mask-reality paper I’ve been working on.)


Let’s begin at the Conclusion:

The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize prosper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.

This paper is eminently readable. If you can read this blog, you can surely read it. So click on over—don’t trust me!—and prove to yourself that masks don’t work. Meanwhile, here are some key quotes (I’m leaving off references; all emphases mine).

• “Interestingly, 99% of the detected cases with SARS-CoV-2 are asymptomatic or have mild condition, which contradicts with the virus name (severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2)”.
• “…’the overall clinical consequences of COVID-19 are similar to those of severe seasonal influenza’ [5], having a [true] case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%.”
• “Due to the difference in sizes between SARS-CoV-2 diameter and facemasks thread diameter (the virus is 1000 times smaller), SARS-CoV-2 can easily pass through any facemask“.
• “among symptomatic individuals (those with fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose ect…) there was no difference between wearing and not wearing facemask for coronavirus droplets transmission of particles of > 5 μm”
• “suggesting that asymptomatic individuals do not transmit or infect other people “
• “A meta-analysis among health care workers found that compared to no masks, surgical mask and N95 respirators were not effective against transmission of viral infections or influenza-like illness based on six RCTs”.
• “Based on four COVID-19 studies, the meta-analysis failed to demonstrate risk reduction of facemasks for COVID-19 transmission”.
• “In early publication the WHO stated that ‘facemasks are not required, as no evidence is available on its usefulness to protect non-sick persons’. In the same publication, the WHO declared that ‘cloth (e.g. cotton or gauze) masks are not recommended under any circumstance‘”.
• “…the WHO repeatedly announced that ‘at present, there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID-19) on the effectiveness face masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection of respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.'”
• “In addition to hypoxia and hypercapnia, breathing through facemask residues bacterial and germs components on the inner and outside layer of the facemask. These toxic components are repeatedly rebreathed back into the body, causing self-contamination.”
• “The adverse physiological effects were confirmed in a study of 53 surgeons where surgical facemask were used during a major operation. “
• “…wearing facemasks causing hypoxic and hypercapnic state that constantly challenges the normal homeostasis, and activates ‘fight or flight’ stress response, an important survival mechanism in the human body.”
• “Encountering people who wearing facemasks activates innate stress-fear emotion, which is fundamental to all humans in danger or life threating situations”.
• “global estimates showing that COVID-19 will cause a catastrophe due to collateral psychological damage such as quarantine, lockdowns, unemployment, economic collapse, social isolation, violence and suicides.”

Those are just the juicy ones. I left off tons of other studies. Including the ones, such as the recent Danish mask study, that we did earlier.

Science backs up common sense.

Will be lost in the cacophony of panic porn, though.

If they really trapped Covid then they certainly trapped your unhealthy breathing exhaust

Oh the irony, climate change doesn't exist in the minds of the polluters and those who benefit from coal, oil, plastics and other products which are profitable in the short term, and will cost the next generation an enormous problem in costs, health and destruction such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and the loss of animals (including humans), plants and fresh clean air, water and soil.

The scientists who have posted studies on climate change have been challenged by the minority of posters as seeking grants and in effect lying about the cause and effect of climate change; yet, now one guy with a Ph. D. is the be all end of a claim that masks are ineffective.

Common Sense ain't very common within the kooks who have no clue, and are a collection of odd dudes.

Climate change science is an excellent analogy for mask science.

Oh, no doubt that the DemonRats are attempting to keep the economy down in 2021 waiting until 2022 when the midterms are here, and then try and make themselves look good with a booming economy.

[Lesh]

This genius claims that Oxygen and CO2 MOLECULES can be trapped by masks but virus spores can't be?

Ummmm huh?

He also ignores the fact that Covid spores travel on much larger moisture molecules.

Just stop

It was stupid the first time you morons made these claims...it's no less stupid now

 

[Rye Catcher]

It's no wonder the pandemic has lasted this long, the stupid people above are out of touch with reality. They actually believe wearing a mask and keeping a social distance is ineffective and only for sissies. Of course they are the cowards who can't go to the supermarket without their gun.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Of course they are the cowards…

That from the fool who is hiding in his mother's basement, afraid to go out and live his life, in deathly terror of a hyperbolized flu bug.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

It's no wonder the pandemic has lasted this long, the stupid people above are out of touch with reality.

The “pandemic” has lasted and will last for as long as there are enough ignorant cowards such as yourself who continue to stupidly allow corrupt politicians to use it to frighten and control you.

This is the most fucking retarded thing you've posted in quite some time....And brother, there's smorgasbord of retardation to choose from.

It's the cold, hard truth. The only reason the “pandemic” ever existed was as a tool for corrupt politicians to control us with fear; and it is worthless, ignorant cowards such as yourself who are responsible for allowing it to succeed, and allowing it to continue.

The truth hurts you because you are so deeply invested in lies.
