MASKS DON'T WORK: A review of science relevant to COVID-19
THIS IS THE SCIENCE:

Masks and respirators do not work. There have been extensive randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies, and meta-analysis reviews of RCT studies, which all show that masks and respirators do not work to prevent respiratory influenza-like illnesses, or respiratory illnesses believed to be transmitted by droplets and aerosol particles.

Furthermore, the relevant known physics and biology, which I review, are such that masks and respirators should not work.

It would be a paradox if masks and respirators worked, given what we know about viral respiratory diseases: The main transmission path is long-residence-time aerosol particles (< 2.5 &#956;m), which are too fine to be blocked, and the minimum-infective-dose is smaller than one aerosol particle.

The present paper about masks illustrates the degree to which governments, the mainstream media, and institutional propagandists can decide to operate in a science vacuum, or select only incomplete science that serves their interests.

Such recklessness is also certainly the case with the current global lockdown of over 1 billion people, an unprecedented experiment in medical and political history.

Re: MASKS DON'T WORK: A review of science relevant to COVID-19
Conclusion Regarding that Masks Do Not Work

No RCT study with verified outcome shows a benefit for HCW or community members in
households to wearing a mask or respirator. There is no such study. There are no exceptions.

Likewise, no study exists that shows a benefit from a broad policy to wear masks in public
(more on this below).

Furthermore, if there were any benefit to wearing a mask, because of the blocking power
against droplets and aerosol particles, then there should be more benefit from wearing a
respirator (N95) compared to a surgical mask, yet several large meta-analyses, and all the RCT,
prove that there is no such relative benefit.

Masks and respirators do not work.

I also deduced this when they said how small the
droplets are. They can enter in the eyes or ears which
is exactly where they need to affect your mucus membranes.
Also a Chinese whistle blower stated it too.

Thus, making you infected. Also, if this is true (which it is)
then you must also assume everyone is getting infected.
If everyone is getting infected they are developing an
'immune resistance' and this will go on where they had
the virus and are now safe.

So, those that come out of hiding WILL GET INFECTED.
That's just the fact of this like any other flu.
Influenza does not have a vaccine. If they state that
there is a vaccine for this, they are lying.
Living has taught me one thing; nothing is certain...except salvation through Jesus Christ!

A cluster randomised trial of cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare workers:


This study is the first RCT of cloth masks, and the results caution against the use of cloth masks. This is an important finding to inform occupational health and safety. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection. Further research is needed to inform the widespread use of cloth masks globally.

Re: MASKS DON'T WORK: A review of science relevant to COVID-19
this post is bullshit designed to keep normies from taking masks from doctors and nurses because there is a shortage because they are made in china and china is now keeping them. if they didn't work doctors wouldn't be wearing them.

1 star for incomplete title, which makes it basically a lie, implying a half truth.


Truth 1 : Masks DO NOT WORK TO PREVENT the infection.

This is a known FACT since stone age (well, since masks were invented).

Truth 2 : Masks DO WORK TO DIMINISH the viral load in the event of exposure to a contagious person.

This is also a known FACT.


Truth 3 : The quantity of viral load determines BOTH the contagion power of the infected AND the severity of the symptoms.

This is also a well known FACT.



Nobody who supports wearing masks ever said that masks are PREVENTING getting infected.


Everyone who supports wearing masks are doing it because wearing a mask diminishes the RISK of getting infected, and if someone gets infected, diminishes BOTH his symptomatic condition AND his ability to spread the disease, if compared to wearing no mask.



If you are a hoaxtard, at least be a smart one, and don't become like the rioters who started from protesting a clear police crime, and got in 2 days to being anti-Trump and demolishing statues just because.


Be a hoaxtard, but at least know your limits.



LYING doesn't help your hoaxtardiness.


Au contraire.

Re: MASKS DON'T WORK: A review of science relevant to COVID-19
The virus is small goes right through most masks!!!!!
If you wear a mask for more than an hour or two the moisture in the fibers wick the virus faster into you!!
The build up of CO2 due to masks cause whole body problems and lower your immune system.
I wear my “pretend “ mask to make brainwashed feel better.

Is to kill off more)

GOOD START WITH THIS RESEARCH PAPER BUT...
... but it's an overview with other references. I think that the idiotic mask wearing and the completely insane promotions by Amazon, manufacturers, TV ads and just mask promotions in general call for a COMPLETE REVIEW of the IDIOCY of what is going on. I'm still looking for studies, for example, that are EASY to read and understand and can be EASILY summarized to throw in the face of the mask idiots including my own company that furloughed me due to this completely world wide insane KILLER VIRUS HOAX(nicknamed "novel" virus-- novel? like novelty? and in.. their "toy" to manipulate mankind? ). We're now 4 months into this and it's beginning to really unnerve me.

WHY MASKS CANNOT WORK and WILL NOT EVER WORK
Masks cannot work because the ENTIRE PREMISE upon which masks are based-- in the case of disease-- is completely false. There IS NO AIRBORNE VIRUS because there are NO VIRUSES in existence. People get sick because they are getting rid of TOXINS... and the cells create EXOSOMES (see Dr. Andrew Kaufman) that then expel toxins through body fluids. Everyone gets sick at the same time in a certain region of the world because environmental conditions encourage people's bodies to do such a cleaning. There is no VIRUS to be "caught". Nobody "catches" cold. People expel toxins during a cold and experience cold symptoms to be sure but they're not contagious.
