Biden's ridiculous free N95 mask offer. Nobody in the medical community is speaking out about how ludicrous this is. So I will.

ICYMI, the Biden administration is giving out 400 million free N95 respirators. Here’s the offer:

Here’s what they aren’t telling you about these free N95 respirators:

1. An N95 respirator will “work” for around 2 hours in a hospital or similar setting with filtered air

2. An N95 respirator will “work” for around 30 min outdoors

3. If you have facial hair, forget it. It will not seal. If you were expecting at best 1% protection before, it is now 0%.

So if 200M Americans receive two respirators each, they get around 4 hours of protection. And that only works if the respirators are fitted perfectly with no gaps and people are trained on their use. And as we noted before, even if everything was perfect, you aren’t likely to get anywhere close to 95% reduction in virions (because of the size of the particles and the rate of airflow into the respirator), and even with such a reduction, that’s unlikely to make the difference between getting infected and not getting infected.

In general, N95’s are ineffective with respect to protection against viral spread. Randomized studies show cloth and surgical masks do nothing. Zero.

Not surprising at all. If you read the WHO 2004 “Laboratory Biosafety Manual” (Third Edition) it says, “Surgical type masks are designed solely for patient protection and do not provide respiratory protection to workers.”

So it’s not like we haven’t figured that out 15 years before COVID came on the scene. It says surgical masks do not work. Period.

Yet, here we are 18 years later and the CDC and medical community now think they do. Evidence not required. Just belief.

So let me get this straight. Cloth masks don’t work but they will suffice on an airplane or for school children in school.

But N95’s WILL *possibly* protect you more than a cloth mask and AREN’T required?

Yep, that’s how effed up the whole damn thing is folks.

I like to wear the light blue pleated surgical masks. They are rather loose and somewhat comfortable, and since they don’t do diddly I can wear one for several weeks.

$$$$ Who is profiting from the masks? $$$

Follow the $$$.

What a shame that our healthcare system has become weaponized.

There. Fixed it.

These masks are not “free.” They are paid for, at an outrageous rate no doubt, by your hard earned tax dollars.

We really need to do something to end FJB’s spending like this.

And they’re called N-”95” masks because they capture at best, 95% of what comes through the mask. Since the minimum infective dose (MID) is supposedly 1 for the kung flu, it’s mostly worthless as protection from a virus.

They do, however, nicely reduce your O2 intake with the added benefit of concentrating any viri and bacteria for your lungs enjoyment.

If you haven’t had the dreaded child-killing two day flu, then there are a host of other nice things you can receive by wearing a mask at any time, especially if it is used more that 4 hours and when washed helps the concentrations mount.

And they're doing this 2 YEARS after CCP virus was released.

(The medical community is a disgrace, as evidenced by their perpetual silence about the virus and the outrageous policies surrounding it.)

IMO this is another lame attempt to cover up what the currently installed-by-a-coup, foreign interest controlled, criminal, government did to every single person in the US and the world.

[ConservativeInPA]

Democrat solutions are always the same: waste money on so-called solutions that fail and use the mainstream media to make people feel like something was done. Everything thing Biden has done has been a complete failure and waste of tax dollars which digs us deeper into inflation. He’s a moron.

[Bullish]

They just think they need to be seen as “doing something”. What a regime full of feckless idiots.

Those are the kn95 ones.

Excellent

[monkeyshine]

I could be mistaken, but doesn’t N95 filter out incoming air, but let exhausted air out freely? So it protects the wearer but not the other people around?
