Most Masks Allow 90 Percent of Exhaled Aerosols to Pass Thru--New Study

You can’t stop an influenza or coronavirus without extreme measures.. The recommendations of N95 masks are extremely irresponsible. They restrict airflow and oxygen to such a degree, that for prolonged all day use, like a workplace environment, OSHA requires a Physical exam to make sure you won’t have a heart attack!

The most alarming side effects from the mRNA vaccines are being seen in young adults with heart inflammation...couple that with mandatory face masks in school seems to be asking for disaster..

Anything about CO2 brain damage and mass hysteria groupthink syndrome ?☠️

personally i think masks are more a totem than in any way efficient or necessary, and while i have no problem with people who wish to wear them doing so, i have a MAJOR problem with being told i must follow suit.

Yeah. Perhaps that had an impact on the baby IQ testing (amazing that that is even a thing). The study notes this possibility.

One aspect also not investigated here is the impact of mask-wearing by the study staff during child visits and assessments [53]. The inability of infants to see full facial expressions may have eliminated non-verbal cues, muffled instructions, or otherwise altered the understanding of the test questions and instructions.

Other than that, they don't put much emphasis on masking as a cause.

See for yourselves if masks are useless or not.

Fresh mask? Or after wearing it for one or two hours on a sweaty production floor. After being dislodged from labor?

And my sneezes usually come in two or threes….

Shrugs.

You don't have to sneeze.

We found that when the person said “stay healthy,” numerous droplets ranging from 20 to 500 μm were generated. These droplets produced flashes as they passed through the light sheet (Figure 1). The brightness of the flashes reflected the size of the particles and the fraction of time they were present in a single 16.7-msec frame of the video.

I have said it a bunch. The only way to prevent this virus from being in your body is to wear a spacesuit until the day you die. The lab scientist have space suits on and don't get the virus.

You can't be 100% safe on the highway but one can reduce the level of risk.

Both to others and to one's self.

Most people I see wearing masks don't mummify themselves with their mask like this test subject.

Most don't even cover their nose. Or constantly unjust their masks while talking.

Why don't they have these real world situations depicted in this video?

Most people wearing masks now, and probably from the beginning, just do it as a visual social moray. Most don't even try to wear them correctly any more assuming they even know how..

Deceitful authorities with a secret agenda have gone to great effort to keep this 2020 CDC study and it's revelations regarding MASKS INEFECTIVNESS, out of the public domain.

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.

0% safe with a mask if it is not an airtight space bubble. There is no other possible way to stop this one.

Who is being deceitful?

The report does not say that. It says that masks offer little if any protection to the wearer. The primary purpose of masking is not to protect the wearer.

The study also says this:

Restricting the analysis to participants without known close contact with a person with confirmed COVID-19, case-patients were more likely to report dining at a restaurant(aOR = 2.8, 95% CI = 1.9–4.3) or going to a bar/coffee shop(aOR = 3.9, 95% CI = 1.5–10.1) than were control-participants.Exposures and activities where mask use and social distancing are difficult to maintain, including going to places that offer on-site eating or drinking, might be important risk factors for acquiring COVID-19.

Not a single person was spotted wearing a mask at Obama's birthday party earlier this month.

Over 200 people who see themselves as VIPs, coughing on each other in crowded tents, totally mask-less.

And as far as we know, not a one of them is in the hospital for Covid-19 treatment.

Not you. You honestly believe in what you're saying.

Were you there?

And you believe a source which lies to you.

The report does not say:

that masks and face coverings are not effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19

a reply to: Phage

The summary should say, "Masks are not as effective as most Media and Medical and Government entities want you to think they are."

Masks are less than 35% effective and Covid-19 is less than 1% lethal.

Mask mandates are unwarranted.

They are over-the-top overkill.

But why? There are theories. But no solid evidence yet.

a reply to: Phage

Ok.

How is that preventing a person with covid from making the virus go airborne? When they sneeze? Or cough.

And covid can hang in the air up to 16 hours.

a reply to: carewemust

Your source shouldn't have lied about the study.

It won't. But not everyone who is infected is sneezing or coughing.

Risk cannot be eliminated in public, but it can be reduced. Which is the point of masking, reducing the risk of transmission.

It takes something referred to as an "infectious dose" of viral material to become infected. Reducing the amount of aerosols floating around reduces the chances of someone being exposed to an infectious dose.
