Surgeon Destroys Myth: ‘If Masks Don’t Work, Why Do Surgeons Wear Them?’
CNS News ^ | March 10, 2021 | Dr Jim Meehan

(...)

Since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve read hundreds of studies on the science of medical masks. Based on extensive review and analysis, there is no question in my mind that healthy people should not be wearing surgical or cloth masks. Nor should we be recommending universal masking of all members of the population. That recommendation is not supported by the highest level of scientific evidence.

Good read. If masks worked, this thing would have been over months ago

Don't forget the eyes.

If they wanted the public to protect themselves, they would have had an eye protection mandate in place as well.

Yes, you can get a viral infection via your eyes. Even HIV.

Think...why do scientists/technicians who work in "Bio" labs wear laboratory grade eye protection?

Being concerned about getting infected, and walking around with your eye's unprotected is 100% ignorance/foolishness.

People are gross and touch their faces, noses and mouths hundreds of times per day. This bug is absolutely a formite spread bug and has a proven fecal oral route as well its little wonder it’s still spreading. Fortunately theres 3 approved nearly 100% effective vaccines a forth from Novavax and the USA is sitting on a huge pile of AZ Oxford version as well. As the numbers of vaccination climbs at over a million per day the bug will simply run out of hosts and die off. Israel has already pushed there R0 under one they are on the tail end of their infection curve they will have full herd immunity by months end and be done soon after.

They are wearing them so they don’t spit into a patient when they talk. And they don’t wear the same one for days and weeks at a time. And they also never, ever, touch their face and mask.

Having served with the US Army chemical corps short of MOP4 level personal protective equipment an airborne particle spread virus with proven formite transmission via particle settling and a fecal oral route there is little people with average protective skills and equipment can do other than avoid contact with an infected or an infected surface. Full face respirators with double silicone seals and filtering at a level of N99,or P100 would be the absolute minimum to effectively prevent inoculation in a challenged environment. Short of that level it’s kabuki theater.

Thankfully we have data that properly optimized vitamin D blood levels, which also protect against flu and cancer, reduce cv19 ICU admissions by 75%. Throw in the FLCCC MATH+ protocol for the other 25%, handwashing, vitamin C, zinc and there is no need for an experimental cv19 gene therapy.

Surgeons don’t wear them to protect themselves. Wearing a mask all day is a bacteria trap that can cause things like pneumonia.

there are 3 entries for a virus. mouth, nose, and eyes

Your mouth has acids to neutralize most things.
Your nose has ‘filtration’ which will block most air particles.
But your eyes have nothing. The thinnest membrane and little to no protection.

This is how people normally get the flu.
by touching something infected (ie: surface) and then touching their face.

Best way to avoid contracting the virus would be to avoid touching your face when you’re out and to wash your hands regularly.

One of the first lessons new chemhead troopers learn is you never touch anywhere on your body once in.protective gear unless you are in the process of decontamination and removing your gear. We used to dye karo syrup bright blue then smear it all over the outside of the Bl4 level.suits these are the plastic ones with SCBA tanks inside them. The troopers task was to evac and decon himself from inside the suit without a.single drop of blue sticky making contact with the bare skin of their body. The success rate for the first time us under 5% I personally failed.twice before getting it right. One more November Golf and it would have been a recycle to the beginning of the program all 12 weeks of it. So to think that the avg person can keep themselves uncontaminated in a challenged environment is crazy. If you are in close contact with an infected you are covered with virus and it is a good possibility that the necessary 10 to 50 virons needed for inoculation will enter a mucus membrane via the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, and genital tissues people forget the inner ear drum is also a mucous membrane. COVID is also a known formite bug so transfer hours after the fact from surfaces membranes is not only possible but likely. These facts alone explain why this bug has an R0 in the wild pf 4+ and spreads like wild fire.

This being a formite bug, you have to include hand to ears, and also hand to genitals contact. The membranes on the downstairs are just as thin as the eyelids or inner lips of the mouth. The natural acids levels are not enough to distroy the lipid coat of SARS COVID II there is also a very real risk of sexual transmission of covid the ACE 2 receptors are all over the male genital track. How many people wash their hands BEFORE using the loo? You mine as well just lick your fingers its biological nearly identical to take your unwashed hands and contact your genital membranes. Think about that the next time you handle.stuff in tne store then run off for a quick loo break.

I read numerous falsehoods in Dr. Jim Meehan’s commentary. I will only do one: “Masks only cover the mouth and nose. They do not protect the eyes.” The purpose of the mask is to protect others by blocking the droplets you emit. In that case, you do not need to protect your eyes because they don’t emit the virus. My deception meter was pegging.

This is what was said about Dr. Jim Meehan, who has a lawsuit against Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum, the Tulsa Department of Health, Tulsa Health Department Executive Director Bruce Dart and the entire Tulsa City Council over a mask mandate that was enacted this summer:

“An ophthalmologist paraded a series of internet conspiracy theories and unproven health claims before state lawmakers at a hearing at the Oklahoma Capitol this week — including that masks are ineffective at slowing the spread of the virus and that people of color need more vitamin D in their diets to prevent them from contracting COVID-19.”

“State Rep. Sean Roberts, R-Hominy, who chairs the House of Representatives’ public health committee, invited two doctors who are vocal supporters of the anti-vaccine movement to speak at an informational hearing on Oklahoma’s response to the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday, September 17, 2020:

Instead of an epidemiologist or virologist, State Rep. Sean Roberts, R-Hominy, who chairs the House of Representatives’ public health committee, invited two doctors who are vocal supporters of the anti-vaccine movement to speak at an informational hearing on Oklahoma’s response to the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday. “Medical masks won’t work— there’s no sense in using them,” Tulsa ophthalmologist and blogger Dr. Jim Meehan told state lawmakers at the hearing.”

The latest science endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control indicates that wearing face mask helps prevent the spread of COVID-19:

How does an eye doctor know anything about the electrostatic filtration properties of a mask?

My view of “The Science” is that a 528 ft. anti-social distancing would be pretty effective.

I’d get off that vaccine confidence high horse if I were you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJZxiNxYLpc&ab_channel=VejonHealth

This is from a top-notch vaccine specialist who used to work for Gates, essentially explaining why our vaccine strategy is wrongheaded and certain to backfire on both the individual and population levels.

Really? You’re going with a study the CDC is promoting based on two hair stylists?
