Any doctor who said that was wrong, as multiple studies show that masks inhibit transmission of this coronavirus and mitigate its effects. No, wearing a mask is not pleasant—but, it’s effective.
I guess my question then is WHY does the CDC consider masks irrelevant when it comes to exposure to COVID 19?
Wrong.
There are DECADES of studies over the years done well before the Wuhan Flu became a political football that studied masks wrt influenza viruses and cold viruses.
EVERY SINGLE ONE arrived at the same conclusion. That masks are totally ineffective in any mitigation of viral contamination.
In fact, many studies indicated that masks are detrimental to the wearer. Why? Because they increase the viral load.
What is Viral Load? I’ll let you do some research on your own on that subject. I’ll not convince you by spoon feeding you data.
You are scared. Scared and sad. You have accepted a lie and are perpetrating the lie. Masks are a tremendous health risk, but they do give a false sense of security to the stupid. I am not stupid.
nope. Not effective for anything but virtue signaling
Sorry dinodino, but masks are not effective, and can be harmful. This Dr. has a review of the various studies with links to each study. Follow the REAL science-excerpt and link:

Comment: The following review of the scientific literature on wearing surgical and other facemasks as a means of preventing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and thus preventing contraction of ‘Covid-19’ was published a month ago. And absent some miraculous suspension of decades of hard science on the transmission of viruses, it’s settled...
Abstract
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. ...snip...
Precautionary Principle turned on its head with masks
In light of the medical research, therefore, it is difficult to understand why public-health authorities are not consistently adamant about this established scientific result, since the distributed psychological, economic and environmental harm from a broad recommendation to wear masks is significant, not to mention the unknown potential harm from concentration and distribution of pathogens on and from used masks. In this case, public authorities would be turning the precautionary principle on its head.

BS. The Royal College of Surgeons of England did a study in 1981 for 6 months regarding masks in the OR. No masks were used and THE INFECTION RATE WENT DOWN.

You are smoking wrong. Wilfully or ignorantly, I don’t know. We’re in a battle, this is not about a virus. The physical size of the virus is far smaller than anything the masks can filter. You could wear a mask with canisters and a seal, but you still exhale them. You would be protected then, but nobody else would be. Why is everyone panicking over a virus that’s been lied extensively about and is not dangerous to most that come across it?
Why doesn’t the FDA approve a mask for virus protection?
Why are there no guidelines for mask use?
Why are there no biohazard bins for the mask?
I have read multiple studies that masks make things worse on many different levels. These studies make sense to me.I have kids in school being forced to wear them. I can see the negative effect first hand.
You are willfully ignorant. Are you paid by Soros?
