This New Mexico Surgeon decided to take a look at the science based evidence that the CDC said is the proof that masks work. The CDC top evidence is a total joke. They were probably banking that no one would take the time out to look.

No study has every shown masks have any statistical significance on infection rates for respiratory viral infections NONE, EVER.
In the other hand, cloth masks worn for extended periods are good for growing all sorts of bacteria that you can breath into your lungs. That’s a plus.
Yeah we have that going for us.
Sadly, because Covid has become a religion complete with people expressing their piety through donning a face mask. A lot of faithful adherents, or Branch Covidians if you prefer.
And then there is Bill Nye the unscience guy doing idiocy like this, with Ms King almost swooning:
Hey Billy! Where do you think your exhaled breath went? 🙄🙄🙄
Curious if he would guarantee that they are 100.000% safe.
He’s in the science department. I tried to read one of his papers on line and my head nearly exploded.
“He’s in the science department. I tried to read one of his papers on line and my head nearly exploded.”
Thanks. Yes it can be hard for people not in a field to understand a scientific paper in that field.
What kind of science does he do?
True. And it’s been known for years.

I know you’re kidding but the fact is these viruses are so small they are aerosolized and move around the room with the flow of ventilation. In a building they can move from room to room.
There is no practical protection from this virus or any virus of that size other than a person’s natural immune system. I don’t include these experimental vaccines because they have not been tested for long term efficacy or side effects.
The only mask I can think of that actually would protect you very well from breathing in the virus particles ejected from others while at the same time protecting everyone around you from possibly becoming contaminated by you in case you have the coof is a positive-pressure filter system.
A somewhat heavy device carried on a shoulder strap that has two pumps, one pump pulls in air from your immediate surrounding and passes it through a very good filter that CAN capture all the virus particles and feeds the filtered, clean air under pressure to your full-face mask...clean air comes in when you inhale and cause a valve to switch to inward flow and when you exhale a valve sends your exhaled air back to the device that filters your exhaled air before it is ejected into the surrounding air.
No virus coming in, no virus going out and none leaking in or out from your mask which is very tightly fitted to your face.
While it might be possible to have a very tightly fitted full-face mask without the pumps but with valves that could perform the same function I think it might be difficult for some to suck in air through an adequate filter and then have to also force the air in the mask back out through another filter. It might be possible if the filters were quite large as generally the larger the filter the easier to push air through them... such a mask might find many customers given the current level of hysteria.
If you did not have to worry about putting your possibly contaminated exhaled air into your surroundings a system could be more easily constructed.
Some modern military vehicles use a positive pressure system that sucks air from the outside through a filter and keeps the inside air at all times at a high enough pressure that no external air can seep in through any cracks.. They do NOT have the problem of having to filter the inside air before ejecting it back outside. .. biological warfare systems...
Paper and cloth masks can have an effect on virus particles going in and out but are somewhat like standing on one side of a picket fence while someone on the other side with a hose tries to wet you down. Yes, you will be a bit less soaked... it seems to me that a paper or cloth mask might lower the amount of particles for someone if you were close to them and exhaling in their direction as your breath mostly seems to eject from the sides... if someones smokes and exhales through a cheap mask an awful lot of the smoke goes out the sides... the victim of your exhaled viral particles might wind up with a lesser viral load than if you just breathed on them at close range with no mask at all..
It’s not my place to guess if the effort and inconvenience of wearing paper masks and risking the bacteria that can build up in them is a sensible thing...
With the possibility of a serious viral pandemic always hanging over us all why hasn’t very extensive testing been done re the efficacy of cheap masks???
Level 4 labs feed air under pressure to a full-body protective suit that ensures no air from inside the lab reaches inside your suit. The air ejected from the level-4 areas of the lab is filtered before it reaches the outside air.
I got a mask that reads ‘This mask is as useless as Justin Trudeau.’ I can’t wear it at work, however.
Let me guess Professor of Binary and Transgender Studies?
I intend this post to provide clear documented evidence for all to clearly understand the flaws in mask mandates, and effectively resist this tyrrany.
I'm looking at a lot of links about the science of mask effectiveness presented en-masse by grey_whiskers in another thread. What I see is quite clear scientific consensus that masks are NOT effective at preventing or even significantly inhibiting transmission of viruses such as influenza or Covid-19.
I have studied each link in order from the first, selected the key conclusions in each, and copied them from the article to this post, and added my translation of what that really means).
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.18.21257385v1.full
Translation: Masks don't work to significantly reduce virus transmission. More research needed.
https://swprs.org/face-masks-evidence/
Translation: Masks don't work to significantly reduce virus transmission.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29395560/
Conclusion: Wearing a surgical mask modifies significantly and clinically dyspnea without influencing walked distance.
Translation: Even a simple surgical mask has a negative health impact on a healthy person when walking for 6 minutes.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32590322/
Translation: I personally experienced hypercapnic hypoxia (and nearly collapsed) after browsing 20 minutes in a grocery store wearing a simple surgical mask, and had to be helped outdoors and removing my mask. Even though I recovered quickly after removing the mask, this is very real for me. I now use an N95 ventilator with a battery powered filtered fan (available on Amazon and other places for around $50), which clears out the exhaled CO2 after each breath. With that, I can tolerate the mask for up to about 30 minutes
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15340662/
Translation: That aint good, folks!
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26579222/
Translation: Wearing the mask may be more dangerous than Covid-19
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31159777/
Translation: Even though the mask does not catch all the virus particles, it does catch some, and then is unsafe to handle
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4420971/
Translation: Cloth masks are even more usless than surgical masks
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.01.20049528v1
Translation: Seems a little like "getting slightly pregnant" Never mind how inconvenient it is...
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.30.20047217v2
Translation: No masks (neither surgical nor N95) worked to prevent infection. Quarantine worked somewhat, but with other risks for quarantined workers
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372
It is also clear that masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are not only tools, they are also talismans that may help increase health care workers’ perceived sense of safety, well-being, and trust in their hospitals. Although such reactions may not be strictly logical, we are all subject to fear and anxiety, especially during times of crisis. One might argue that fear and anxiety are better countered with data and education than with a marginally beneficial mask.
Translation: A mask is not enough to prevent spread of infection (the public mask mandates will therefore not accomplish that goal)
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2749214
Translation: Among outpatient health care personnel, N95 respirators vs medical masks as worn by participants in this trial resulted in no significant difference in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza.
https://www.cmaj.ca/content/188/8/567
Translation: This was a very extensive and detailed study in 2016 that concluded no significant difference in respiratory infections with either mask
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5779801/
Translation: This wasn't a "study", it was a long review of many other studies in many different environments. effectively says "we don't really know" (hint - probably looking for more funding in 2011)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19216002/
Translation: Masks don't significantly inhibit transmission of virus
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4420971/
Translation: Cloth masks are actually WORSE than no mask
There's actually a lot more like the above, but it takes time to go through them in detail.
What is really notable, however, is that I have found NO studies like this that demonstrate ANY significant success for masks to significantly inhibit virus transmission.
Thank you for your work. You may appreciate this video

Wow!
Outstanding and thank you!
Great job on all the research!
