Study Results: Facemasks are Ineffective to Block Transmission of COVID-19 and Actually Can Cause Health Deterioration and Premature Death
The Gateway Pundit ^ | April 19, 2021 | Joe Hoft

Posted on 05/09/2021 2:54:52 PM PDT by tbw2

The NCBI study begins with the following abstract:

Many countries across the globe utilized medical and non-medical facemasks as non-pharmaceutical intervention for reducing the transmission and infectivity of [the] coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Although, scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established. It has been hypothesized that facemasks have compromised safety and efficacy profile and should be avoided from use. The current article comprehensively summarizes scientific evidence[s] with respect to wearing facemasks in the COVID-19 era, providing proper information for public health and decision making.

The study concludes (emphasis added):

The existing scientific evidence[s] challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize [a] proper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.

Doesn’t mean it isn’t true. A black researcher who showed police are not more likely to shoot black suspects was charged with sexual offenses at work and other things to get him to withdraw his study.

Police kill more whites than blacks, but minority deaths generate more outrage

I know from personal experience it is all for show:
* demands to wear the face mask when in a Zoom call, even if you’re alone in the office or at home
* demands to update social media profile photos to include a face mask
* criticizing people posting photos without face masks, even if it is an old picture or them alone
* uniform pressure to put borders on social media saying mask up, get the shot ...

“the majority of people now are just as superstitious and ill-informed as those five hundred years ago”

It seems to me that there are more malicious liars now than there used to be, all spewing forth clouds of falsehood into the cognosphere. This would seem to mean that there are many more ill-informed people than there have to be.

The one doctor lost me with vibrations and chaktra.

That’s eastern mysticism.

The other doctors had some pretty good points, though.

Works on ALL critters.

It’s a head game that every critter understands...and obeys.

My Dobe boy weighs as much as I do and is far more strong than I am.

I put a Halti on him and he’s a lamb who never pulls or “argues”.

Something about that thing over his muzzle makes him docile and obedient.

Ya. 5 quacks making a lot of money peddling hysteria

The quacks are the idiot conventional MDs who slavishly follow the CDC, NIH and Pharma recommendations. Accessories to murder of 450,000+ people through poor advice, denial of early treatment, denial of therapeutics. It takes some kind of stupid and/or evil to continue promoting an experimental injected treatment which makes the patient produce their own pathogenic viral spikes, potentially in perpetuity. Meanwhile, you're aiding and abetting in the destruction of the Republic.

Yes, I saw that, however, see sources on "Lying and misleading headlines: Researchers find face masks don't hinder breathing during exercise:" Science past and present - and common sense (study)
