Wearing a face mask for just five minutes increases CO2 content of inhaled air by anywhere from 1.4 percent to 3.2 percent
The study investigated whether so-called high quality masks such as N95, KN95 and FFP2 coverings helped protect vulnerable people in the community from catching the virus.
When comparing the use of medical/surgical masks to wearing no masks, the review found that "wearing a mask may make little to no difference in how many people caught a flu-like illness/COVID-like illness (nine studies; 276,917 people); and probably makes little or no difference in how many people have flu/COVID confirmed by a laboratory test (six studies; 13,919 people)."
Unsurprisingly, the results confirmed that there is essentially zero difference between surgical or N95 respirators when it comes to tests results.
Story at-a-glance:
In a study of 12 face masks, every mask contained titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles in at least one layer, at levels that “exceeded the acceptable exposure level.”
The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies titanium dioxide as a Group 2B carcinogen, which means it’s “possibly carcinogenic to humans” by inhalation.
A meta-analysis called for a rethinking of nano-TiO2 safety, citing numerous toxic effects in humans and aquatic animals.
Masks take both a physical and psychological toll; the journal Pediatrics highlighted the emotional burden felt by parents, clinicians and patients due to wearing masks in pediatric cancer wards.
YouTube has updated its policies about what constitutes “misinformation” and now allows you to say masks don’t work
"What do you call re-imposing mask policies that have been proven ineffective or restarting lockdowns that are known to cause harm?" posted Ladapo on X this morning. "You don't call it sanity. These terrible policies only work with your cooperation. How about refusing to participate…"

The ratio between the covid virus and a face mask is the same as a football in relation to a goal.
No do like 2 minutes of reading to learn how covid spreads, and compare respiratory droplets to the pores in a mask.

when you wear your mask, wear two. Or you don't care about grandma. You do care,.....don't you?
my grandmother is long dead. you just claim things without any scientific basis. please send a link where a regular official and recognized study says that this kind of masks have no benefit... do you also discuss with the doctor who is about to operate on you about his mask?

The researchers purchased 14 disposable and cloth masks online and tested them for TVOCs. They found that cloth masks posed “no relevant health-related concerns” for wearers, reporting the “TVOC concentration levels corresponded to a level that is harmless to the human body.”
However, surgical disposable masks, such as KF94s, contained over 14 times more TVOCs than cloth masks. The EPA recommends TVOC levels to be no higher than 0.5 parts per million in indoor air, yet the disposable masks were measuring up to 4.8 parts per million

Welcome to the echo chamber Malte. Of course no anti-masker would tell their surgeon to take off their mask, let alone telling anyone in a medical facility that masks do not work.

Ah, now we have two members who believe that doctors wear masks to protect themselves from Covid. The DERP is strong today.
