An acquaintance of Paul Alexander has written the list below of 47 studies confirming that masks are useless in preventing Covid infection and transmission and a second list further down of 32 studies confirming the negative health effects caused by frequent mask wearing, especially for young children. This has been a growing, serious concern in recent months as the dangerous health and emotional effects, especially on children, who are at almost zero risk of Covid harm, are becoming more pronounced and deeply worrisome.
They are ALL LISTED....here are a couple of them.
VARIOUS FACE MASK STUDIES PROVE THEIR INEFFECTIVENESS
1. Surgical mask / cloth face mask studies
Community and Close Contact Exposures Associated with COVID-19 Among Symptomatic Adults ≥18 Years in 11 Outpatient Health Care Facilities — United States, July 2020
The US Centre for Disease Control performed a study which showed that 85 percent of those who contracted Covid-19 during July 2020 were mask wearers. Just 3.9 percent of the study participants never wore a mask.

2. Facial protection for healthcare workers during pandemics: a scoping review
This study used 5462 peer-reviewed articles and 41 grey literature records.
“Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to critical shortages of medical-grade PPE. Alternative forms of facial protection offer inferior protection. More robust evidence is required on different types of medical-grade facial protection. As research on COVID-19 advances, investigators should continue to examine the impact on alternatives of medical-grade facial protection”
So how is your cloth and surgical mask working again if EVEN medical grade alternatives are failing ?
Study Article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32371574/
3. Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses
“There is moderate certainty evidence that wearing a mask probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory-confirmed influenza compared to not wearing a mask”
Study article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33215698/
4. Disposable surgical face masks for preventing surgical wound infection in clean surgery
“We included three trials, involving a total of 2106 participants. There was no statistically significant difference in infection rates between the masked and unmasked group in any of the trials”
Study article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27115326/
5. Disposable surgical face masks: a systematic review
Two randomized controlled trials were included involving a total of 1453 patients. In a small trial there was a trend towards masks being associated with fewer infections, whereas in a large trial there was no difference in infection rates between the masked and unmasked group.
Study article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16295987/
6. Evaluating the efficacy of cloth facemasks in reducing particulate matter exposure
“Our results suggest that cloth masks are only marginally beneficial in protecting individuals from particles<2.5 μm”

And yet here we are......
Are we REALLY following the SCIENCE....????.......

Following the science? There are many that "follow". But usually only as if it fits their agenda or arguement. Science works up until there are anomalies. Then I feel it's go with what ever works for the individual.
The mandating for an entire population to do any one thing sesms like a disaster waiting to happen.

In related news, 56 studies have shown the ineffectiveness of a surgeon's washing their hands prior to surgery and 92 studies show the negative effects of pre-surgery hand washing.
I guess Doctor's have all been getting duped these years wearing masks in the OR.

Y’all notice how to Asian countries all wear mask and don’t have a COVID problem anymore?
|

@dakegg
Actually it is the Swedes who did NOT wear masks.....did NOT force people to get jabs.....did NOT social distance....did NOT close schools.....
And yet they have lower rates vs those countries that did.

Masks did not work.
Social distancing did not work.
Plexiglass did not work.
Bumping elbows instead of shaking hands did not work.
Separating loved ones from their dying relatives did not work.
Shutting down the economy did not work.
Vaccines don't seem to be working either. Israel, the most vaccinated country in the world, is suffering its worst covid wave yet.
Sweden didn't lockdown and it did little worse than anyone else and fared better than some.
It is time to live again.
Americans need to live like Americans again. Two centuries before Chief Walsh, another New Hampshire leader -- General John Stark -- the hero of the Battle of Bennington -- wrote to his men, "Live Free Or Die."

Fucking wear a mask
Don’t wear a mask
It’s not your responsibility
To make sure
I don’t get sick

PS: sorry it is never going away no matter how many masks, lockdowns and vaccinations
It is a virus
They mutate

"Misinformation"
Funny that this term is thrown around so much these days.
I think we might all be more concerned about the blatant lies that Joe continues to tell. "I won't mandate a vaccine", only to name one.

Umm..masks don’t work for airborne pathogens. That’s why we wear respirators that filter airborne pathogens.

"I think we might all be more concerned about the blatant lies that Joe continues to tell. "I won't mandate a vaccine", only to name one."
Let's not be hypocritical. Because I could take up this whole goddamn blog and most of the space on this site with all of the goddamn lies Trump told.

I tried explaining this very same phenomenon to NR over a year ago
But, of course, it was too early in the process to have stats on it
I could only "predict" not report
However, you need to source this for us, as I don't see it on ur post
|
|
|
Lastly but not leastly
All those deaths, especially the suicides?
They all died from Covid
|
|

Every point/statement is linked with the corresponding information
Link 1

Thx,
I see that some are "modelled" deaths, not actual
Not surprising given that came from WHO, those fuckups
Looks possible that lockdown deaths may exceed Covid deaths in the end
Can't say the simple minded weren't warned
Sometimes Mencken wins out over Occam.....
For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

Covid deaths have been manipulated from the go. The PCR test is not a viral test. It is a bacteria. Mullis (the creator of the test) stated this himself. He even said Faucci didn’t know what he was doing..he then coincidentally died right before Covid.
The virus has never been isolated as well..
On page 40 (bottom of page) of the CDC document (page 41 in my pdf reader),second paragraph says: (read the second sentence)
“The analytical sensitivity of the rRT-PCR assays contained in the CDC 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel were determined in Limit of Detection studies. Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV were available for CDC use at the time the test was developed and this study conducted, assays designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with
characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full length RNA (N gene; GenBank accession: MN908947.2) of
known titer (RNA copies/μL) spiked into a diluent consisting of a suspension of human A549 cells and
viral transport medium (VTM) to mimic clinical specimen. Samples were extracted using the QIAGEN EZ1
Advanced XL instrument and EZ1 DSP Virus Kit (Cat# 62724) and manually with the QIAGEN DSP Viral
RNA Mini Kit (Cat# 61904). Real-Time RT-PCR assays were performed using the Thermo Fisher Scientific
TaqPath™ 1-Step RT-qPCR Master Mix, CG (Cat# A15299) on the Applied Biosystems™ 7500 Fast Dx Real-
Time PCR Instrument according to the CDC 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel instructions
for use.”
Link 1
The numbers have always been manipulated. We were told last year there were 30 different strains..
Link 2 & 3
All the above data is mixed or taken out making all of it have no validity since no true denominator is established. Therefore we have no understanding of incidence prevalence, making death rate completely irrelevant.

WHALE WHALE WHALE..what do we have here..
“Inflated COVID-19 death counts could cause vaccine trepidation”
Link 1
“The pandemic has wrought pain and suffering on a massive scale. But reports are coming to light that suggest state COVID-19 death counts may be inflated, which sows public doubt, confusion and less trust in government.”
Gee..ya don’t say..

@somewhat_damaged
When one can NOT argue the facts.....or better yet accept them.
People then revert to attacking the messenger.
Which means......THEY CAN NOT ARGUE THE FACTS & LOSE THE DEBATE.

The pseudo science you quote is laughable to anyone who knows a shred about basic biology and statistics. Yes, the simple statement that a typical mask can't stop the virus is correct. But the virus does not transmit by osmosis or magic. It has to get carried, usually aerosalized in saliva. Like when you talk, cough, sneeze etc. Also, it doesn't magically get absorbed through the skin. It has to enter the body, usually through the lungs, meaning it has to be inhaled.
If I wear a mask and you wear a mask, the droplets carrying the virus are far less likely to pass between us reducing R0 (the transmission rate). Going through the details of the transmission statistics is far more complicated than this blog has time for. Suffice it to same the junk science that was quoted by the OP is just that, junk science (follow Q much?).
Masks won't stop transmission, but they will reduce the transmission rate allowing hospitals that are strained to the breaking point, an opportunity to weather the storm. They will allow more time for people to get fully vaccinated obviating the need for further masking.
Now me personally, I say let all the morons die -- there goes their retard vote with them (applause). I am vaccinated and so are almost all sane people and we should stop coddling the idiots. Let them go bankrupt if they survive their hospitalization or just effing die.

@Smurf-Nope. I can link countless studies, refer you to the fukin statements on mask boxes themselves or tell you if you understand basic physics, then you would realize a mask has no effect on viral transmission.
I’ll repeat what you missed before. Let's look at physics and mathematics
We'll start with a single cough or sneeze.
Everyone "knows" that if you cover a cough or sneeze, and you should do it into your sleeve instead of your hand, this will reduce the risk of someone else getting a virus you may have, right?
Wrong.
It doesn't. So says the science! This is a myth, just like it is a myth that you can wear a mask and reduce transmission.
Wait -- you say! YUCK; that's obvious that it helps.
Well, no.
Here's why.
You sneeze and a huge loogie comes out your nose. Yuck! Nasty! Mucus, full of germs.
It goes, if uncovered...... downward, on the floor.
And harms nobody.
It's disgusting, but that's it. You should still do it anyway because it's disgusting not to, but you won't stop a virus by doing so.
What? If I stop the loogie then how come that doesn't do anything?
Because in addition to the loogie out come a bunch of large drops, each also laden with virus. Maybe a few hundred drops. Yuck! Thus covering or physically blocking those will reduce transmission to other people, right?
Wrong again, statistically speaking.
Why?
Because in that same forceful exhale are an enormous number of sub-micron water droplets that are formed as the saturated vapor in your lungs (100% RH in expired air) cools slightly as it travels up from the lungs to the trachea and out the mouth or nose and comes into contact with the ambient air (well, unless it's over 98.6F in the air where you are anyway!)
Remember your basic physics: As any saturated vapor cools it condenses. Any saturated vapor that cools by even a tiny amount will condense -- that is, coalesce the individual vapor molecules into larger aggregates.
Ordinary "tidal volume" (that is, the amount of air you move in a resting condition with each inhalation) is about 500ml. For a cough or sneeze it is much larger; the maximum volume of air that can be inspired in adult human lungs typically is in the range of 4-6L, or eight to 12 times the "at rest" breathing amount.
When we breathe normally we produce very few or no large droplets. When we sing, play a wind instrument, yell, scream, cough or sneeze we produce a fairly large number of them.
We've all "seen our breath" outside when it's cold.
That's aggregation and condensation to a great enough degree that the aggregates are visible; there are thousands to millions more said aggregates that are too small to see and when it's not cold outside none of them aggregate and condense sufficiently to be visible but they are all still there.
Note that during ordinary breathing the mean particle size is sub-micron. Statistically none of these are filtered in either direction.
This is why physics says that masks don't work against viruses and exactly zero RCTs show that they do.
Never mind the repeated attempts to do so including in 1918, which did nothing to prevent the spread.
Every single person that has ever "seen their breath" in the winter months knows, if they think about it for 30 seconds, why masks can't work and don't.
They can't work because blocking 1,000 pretty-large droplets sounds like it's great except hundreds of thousands or even millions of condensed water vapor molecule clusters were also expelled, they have enough virons on them to infect another person and very nearly zero of those are caught by the mask in either direction. The ones you see when you breathe out in the winter are >50um in size (the limit of visibility to the unaided eye); more than 50 times the size of the mean particle you actually exhale. Worse, every one of those tiny particles, unless condensed out or breathed in by someone else can remain in the air for hours since they are small enough to remain within the purview of brownian motion of air molecules; that is, they "float" so to speak because the energy of said molecular vibration and ordinary air currents, even indoors, is large compared to the pull of gravity toward the ground and thus they remain suspended in the air.
The reason we have a flu season, as I've noted, is that the higher the absolute humidity, which tracks with temperature, the greater the odds that further agglomeration of these clusters of molecules will occur and once they get large enough gravity takes over as they are too heavy and they fall to the ground harmlessly.
So your mask stopped the nasty-looking and smelling loogie which can infect exactly one person, unless you wipe it around on people, and 1,000 of the 5,000 modest-size droplets you expelled. This is why the mask gets nasty all over the inside (which, by the way, if left on for any length of time or reused will breaking ed bacteria on the inside surface which you can inhale, and it will be very bad for you if you do so.)
But it's worthless in terms of protecting anyone else because at the same time you expelled the 5,001 droplets and stopped 1,001, which sounds like a decent hazard reduction, you also expelled anywhere from thousands to several million micrometer-size drops, an effective none of which were stopped, all of which are infectious, and thus you actually caught materially less than 1% of the potential infections that can screw someone else!
1% is not statistically significant. Filtering out 0.1-1% of the infectious events out at the source DOES NOTHING.
The reason workers in a virus lab wear moon suits, go through multiple sets of sealed doors with decontamination procedures before that suit is removed and breathe pressurized outside air while inside the lab is that these are facts and said virus -- any virus -- will go right through any "mask."

Facemasks in the COVID-19 era: A health hypothesis”
Link 1
“The physical properties of medical and non-medical facemasks suggest that facemasks are ineffective to block viral particles due to their difference in scales [16], [17], [25]. According to the current knowledge, the virus SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 60 nm to 140 nm [nanometers (billionth of a meter)] [16], [17], while medical and non-medical facemasks’ thread diameter ranges from 55 µm to 440 µm [micrometers (one millionth of a meter), which is more than 1000 times larger [25]. 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 [25]. In addition, the efficiency filtration rate of facemasks is poor, ranging from 0.7% in non-surgical, cotton-gauze woven mask to 26% in cotton sweeter material [2]. With respect to surgical and N95 medical facemasks, the efficiency filtration rate falls to 15% and 58%, respectively when even small gap between the mask and the face exists [25].”
“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 [28]. Using separate analysis of 23 observational studies, this meta-analysis found no protective effect of medical mask or N95 respirators against SARS virus [28].

Link to study up above
N95 HAVE MULTIPLE LAYERS WITH VENT LATTICE STRUCTURE THAT FORCES THE AIR IN BETWEEN SMALL SHEETS CAUSING THE AIR TO ZIG ZAG GOING THROUGH THE LAYERS.
Neither work. A virus is smaller than smoke and smoke passes easily through a N95 mask. It also appears that there are nano particles in many of the mouth and nose masks that look like the N95.
For legitimate viruses, the professionals wear full body suits with hands and feet tied off and have a respirator.

Also, the vaccine does not provide you any more protection, but natural antibodies do..
From CDC..
“Outbreak of SARS-Cov-2 Infectious, Including Covid-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Infections Associated With Large Public Gatherings”
In July 2021, following multiple large public events in a Barnstable County, Massachusetts, town, 469 COVID-19 cases were identified among Massachusetts residents who had traveled to the town during July 3–17; 346 (74%) occurred in fully vaccinated persons. Testing identified the Delta variant in 90% of specimens from 133 patients. Cycle threshold values were similar among specimens from patients who were fully vaccinated and those who were not.
Link 1
Yet natural antibodies..
Immunity to the Coronavirus May Last Years, New Data Hint
Blood samples from recovered patients suggest a powerful, long-lasting immune response, researchers reported.
Link 2
And we know the vaccines are causing ADE..
Infection-enhancing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies recognize both the original Wuhan/D614G strain and Delta variants. A potential risk for mass vaccination?
Link 3
Anyone taking the jab at this point simply has done ZERO research & just does exactly what their television tells them
|
|
|
Again, so much junk science. The vaccines prevents (i) symptomatic infection and (ii) hospitalization/death. There is a reason we in CA are not dying and all those schmucks in TX and FL are -- and good riddance.
So hype of your half truths to your Q buddies and hasta la vista, baby (or least we hope so).
I am not joking I real hope all the morons die. Best thing that can happen is if Delta mutates further and becomes more lethal to the unvaccinated.
You idiots are all preaching "My body, my choice" except when it comes to pregnant girls in Texas. Now that is hypocrisy for you.
|
|
|
But for the record let me adress your links:
Link 1: Yes recovered patients may have no need for vaccination. I'd rather NOT get the virus in the first place and bet on recovery.
Link 2: Most important line from article - "The research, published online, has not been peer-reviewed nor published in a scientific journal." While ADE "may" be occurring, the important point is that people are not presenting with severe Covid and being hospitalized and dying. Honestly who cares if you have asymptomatic infection.
Link 3: The real world proof in vaccinated vs unvaccinated countries, and particularly in the data coming out of Israel, shows that vaccines are effective in reducing symptomatic infection.
|
|
|
So, let me address the title of the blog and the meaning behind it.
I am in AGREEMENT with you that we should not require anyone to wear a mask -- but for totally different reasons.
You - because you don't think they work, yada, yada, yada
Me - because I am vaccinated and don't give a rats ass about the unvaccinated. Even if I get infected I assume it will be asymptomatic. But I may give it to one of the morons, which gives me a thrill. I know it is not PC, I don't really care.
So why don't we both agree to agitate for a lifting of all mask mandates (like in LA County) so we both get what we want.
Hallelujah brother!!
|
|
|
If people accept what the article says they can believe in anything.
For the 1st of 47 studies, please enlighten me on how to reach the conclusion that 70% who are infected wear a mask.
For common sense, it's a CDC paper. If the masks are proven useless or worse, they should recommend against wearing masks. They didn't.
Another very common sense, there is a long history that people need to wear N95 masks around TB patients and to visit them. Masks stop transmission via the air we breathe. It has been proven that covid is transmitted via air. Other paths are rare and of low risk.
And masks are made to stop small particles from getting through. Masks are made and tested against that.
So how do you explain that if you wear a mask, your chance of getting covid is much higher?
I'll give up on the other 46 items of torture.

@Smurf-Actually nothing I posted was junk science lol, & keep your Q dreams to yourself, you clearly have no understanding of basic physics nor apparently virology for that matter.
Now to your points..
Link 1
SMURF POSTED——>”Yes recovered patients may have no need for vaccination. I'd rather NOT get the virus in the first place and bet on recovery.”
That did not address the study whatsoever. What should have stuck out to you was this line here..
“Cycle threshold values were similar among specimens from patients who were fully vaccinated and those who were not.”
Viral load is the same between vaccinated & unvaccinated. How you missed, or rather ignored this fact tells us all we need to know about you.
Link2- SMURF POSTED——>”Most important line from article - "The research, published online, has not been peer-reviewed nor published in a scientific journal." While ADE "may" be occurring, the important point is that people are not presenting with severe Covid and being hospitalized and dying. Honestly who cares if you have asymptomatic infection.
Are you really this smooth brained? They literally redlfrenced seven studies confirming ADE, 4 of which are peer reviewed. Btw, EVERY SINGLE CORONAVIRUS ATTEMPT AT VACCINES OR mENA resulted in ADE, I can go through 20 of them..

As of 09/03/21 Today:
India COVID death rate per M: 0.25
Israel COVID death rate per M: 2.9
India vax rate: 9%
Israel vax rate: 80%
--> 11.6X lower deaths w/o vax
And don’t give me “but India lacks clean water, is dirty, more populated, etc..”
They had Covid under control until the WHO forced them to use the vaccines
“What’s Going On? India Sees Surge Of Deaths And Injuries Following COVID-19 Vaccine Roll-Out"
"After seeing relatively good success in handling the COVID crisis with an emphasis on early treatments such as Ivermectin, India is all of a sudden seeing a surge in cases and deaths being attributed to the COVID-19 virus."
Link 1
Which is why India is now suing the WHO
But hey..keep trying Smurf, maybe one day you’ll post something intelligent

SMURF POSTED—>”I am not joking I real hope all the morons die. Best thing that can happen is if Delta mutates further and becomes more lethal to the unvaccinated”
There you have it folks, that is the mentality we are dealing with today. I’ll say it again..Pro-vaccine people are pro-death. Anti-vaccine people are anti-death. There's the big difference. I haven't seen any pro-vaccine people show any empathy towards people with reservations due to the sketchy history of these Big Pharma psychopaths. They wish death on the unvaccinated. I do not see the unvaccinated wishing death on the vaccinated, I see them worried about side-effects and hoping they're wrong so people who got the "clot shot" don't wind up dead.
You people are sociopathic narcissists.

I think this country is going to remain divided on this until all of us are finally dead.

I didn't mean of the virus. I meant from old age, a long time from now.
I just don't see people agreeing.
I can't debate anymore either. It's just too draining.
