New Evidence Shows Wearing Face Mask Can Help Coronavirus Enter the Brain and Pose More Health Risk
The Science Times ^ | 05/18/20

Are Face Masks Effective Against COVID-19?

The Cleveland Clinic says that gloves do not provide immunity from viruses, and it doesn't permit you to touch everything within reach. Furthermore, germs that come in contact with your gloves could be transferred to all the other surfaces you touch. 

Now, even face masks face the same critique as Dr. Blaylock says that exhaled viruses would not be given a chance to escape if wearing a mask. He says that the virus would further concentrate and circulate within the nasal passages and could eventually travel into the brain. 

According to Dr. Blaylock, there have been no studies conducted to establish that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has an impact on the transmission of the coronavirus. It was not until recently that the Commission on Disease Control and Prevention changed its guidelines for wearing face masks. 

 Previously, they only advised sick people to wear protective masks, but now they encourage everyone to wear them when out in public since it has been found out that some could be asymptomatic carriers of the virus. The CDC also has guidelines for wearing cloth masks to slow the spread of the coronavirus. 
 
Newer evidence also reveals that the coronavirus may enter the brain in some cases. By wearing a mask, viruses released upon expiration will not be given a chance to escape and will further congregate in the nasal passages. This allows the virus to enter the olfactory nerves and travel further, eventually reaching the brain.

Dr. Blaylock says that one should not attack or criticize healthy people who do not wear masks, as studies point out that it may be a wise choice after all.

The Cleveland Clinic says that HANDS do not provide immunity from viruses, and it doesn’t permit you to touch everything within reach. Furthermore, germs that come in contact with your HANDS could be transferred to all the other surfaces you touch.

If you believe this quack doctor, then how do you explain all the non-quack docs and medics who wear masks at work?

Blaylock is a quack. There is no doubt about that. Non-quack docs wear masks in a surgical suite along with face shields, head caps and body aprons. Outside the suite, not so much. My doc wears a mask at work now simply because he doesn't want to listen to a brain of brain dead Karen's tell him how to do his job. If you want to wear a mask to limit the spread of bacteria, like they do in surgery, then it makes sense. Anyone who thinks a mask is going to stop a virus virion from going public is fooling himself.

I really don't get this infatuation some people have with masks.

It's like they really enjoy hiding their faces. Maybe they are just butt ugly and finally have a way to cover up all that ugliness.

I spent a lot of time in hospitals over the past two years. Docs and nurses did not wear masks while making rounds.

germs that come in contact with your gloves could be “transferred to all the other surfaces you touch.”

Well, DUH!

But at least you control it spreading to others by a couple percent, no?

You are expendable if it maybe perhaps someday limits risk for someone else.

>>Sounds like junk science. If you have the virus in your breath, it’s already in your blood stream and, last time I checked, blood goes to your brain, too.

You are concentrating your exposure and breathing it back in.

Your body can handle a little of it. You can mitigate against it with zinc and other things to boost your immune system.

Yeah but that fake brown streak on them keeps the public socially distant when they see you coming.

“That explains a lot.”

That, and now we know the virus does affect stupid people.

The link in the original article is to a NYT article that doesn’t even mention masks.

I see Science Times articles posted a lot on FR. Does anyone have evidence that it’s not a crackpot site not interested in the centuries-old scientific method?

LOL.

The literature review he cites did conclude that the efficacy of masks in preventing influenza hasn't been conclusively demonstrated.

On the other hand, 8 of the studies conclusively showed that masks were effective in reducing SARS transmission.

Covid-19 is a SARS virus and Dr. Blaylock is a crank.

Doctors wear masks at work to prevent bacterial contamination.
Masks can filter out bacteria which are infinitely larger than a virus.

No, doctors are wearing masks and other PPE specifically to protect against this coronavirus. If the masks have no effect, why are the doctors doing it?
