Nice try but nope. There are countless medical... that is medical websites that confirm that masks worn in crowded public areas reduce the amount of viral particles released into the air by coughing, sneezing and simply exhaling by an infected person. Masks also reduce the distance any viral particles will travel. As for everyday masks causing hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, again, nope. But if you can provide three, no, we'll say two actual accredited medical websites that state otherwise, you're in business. The American Conservative Movement website won't do. Neither will anything from DC Comics or The Gateway Pundit.
To say the least, your screenname is amusing!
No surprise, whatsoever. To the far-left, facts are immaterial, unimportant, and to be ignored.
GalileoSmith, please show us several of your reliable sources and working links proving your allegation that masks are effective in slowing or stopping the spread of COVID-19. You know, where they study a group of 1,000 or 2,000 individuals who wore a mask all the time in public. Then compare the results of that group with the same number of individuals who did NOT wear a cloth mask. Then show us where the group that wore masks had a significantly lower COVID-19 infection rate than those not wearing the mask.
You know, something like this but in reverse.
Europe's Top Health Officials Say Masks Aren't Helpful in Beating COVID-19
The top medical experts in the world can’t decide if masks are helpful in reducing the spread of COVID-19 or just make things worse.
Thursday, August 6, 2020
Denmark boasts one of the lowest COVID-19 death rates in the world. As of August 4, the Danes have suffered 616 COVID-19 deaths,
according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.
That’s less
than one-third of the number of Danes who die from pneumonia or influenza in a given year.
Despite this success, Danish leaders recently found themselves on the defensive. The reason is that Danes aren’t wearing face masks, and local authorities for the most part aren’t even recommending them.
Public health officials in Denmark, Holland, and beyond say they have no intention of recommending face coverings, saying the science does not support it. “Face masks in public places are not necessary, based on all the current evidence,” said Coen Berends, spokesman for the National Institute...

CDC Study Finds Overwhelming Majority Of People Getting Coronavirus Wore Masks
OCTOBER 12, 2020 By

A Centers for Disease Control
report released in September shows that masks and face coverings are not effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19, even for those people who consistently wear them.
A study conducted in the United States in July found that when they compared 154 “case-patients,” who tested positive for COVID-19, to a control group of 160 participants from health care facilities who were symptomatic but tested negative, over 70 percent of the case-patients were contaminated with the virus and fell ill despite “always” wearing a mask.
Over 70 percent of the case-patients who were contaminated with the virus fell ill despite "always" wearing a mask.
