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.

“People in states governed by Democrats should continue to avoid wearing masks, getting vaccinated, washing their hands and eating cooked meat.”

It is Republicans who don’t wear masks, and are less likely to take the cv19 gene therapy. I’m in that group. The Dems love masks and vaccines.

I’ve had bronchitis twice since this insanity began. It takes several weeks for the cough to clear up.

The cough is just about gone and now spring allergy season is beginning.

In your twisted logic, I should stay home for weeks at a time.

If I did that, my employer would give me an opportunity to stay home as long as I want.

Instead, when I cough, I tell people it’s bronchitis and to deal with it.

Masks are PART of an effective protocol. Masks ALONE are useless.

Imaging the doc going into surgery: Scrub, mask, clothes, gloves, enter theater, do stuff, leave, trash mask, gloves, and clothes.

Next surgery, do it again with new .

So if you want effective protection, you’d have to follow the protocol above every time you change environment.

Dare to go to the grocery store? Scrub up and dress before you leave. When returning to your car from the store, do it again.

Get the idea?

I read somewhere that Moderna’s own patent application referenced their shot as a ‘gene therapy and not a vaccine. Maybe it’s just quibbling over terminology.

It’s really not just quibbling. All they claim is that it reduces the severity of Covid symptoms. That is what makes it a therapy treatment rather than a vaccine by even the loosest traditional definition.

Evidence item #200 that they aren’t up to anything good with this whole Operation Earpspeed with fascist lockdown, tracking and control.

I’m happy for you that you believe in the magical properties of masks. My MIL did too. Past tenses is purposeful as she died of covid.

Vitamins D deficiency is an issue with African Americans. It has also been found that covid patients with low vitamins D have worse outcomes.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16549493/
Abstract
Vitamin D insufficiency is more prevalent among African Americans (blacks) than other Americans and, in North America, most young, healthy blacks do not achieve optimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations at any time of year. This is primarily due to the fact that pigmentation reduces vitamin D production in the skin.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32927735/ Our study demonstrates an association between VitD deficiency and severity/mortality of COVID-19, highlighting the need for interventional studies on VitD supplementation in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals.

Surgeons wear masks mainly to stop bacteria not viruses.

The same “medical community” that will prescribes 15-20 meds to an individual is all in for this vaccine?

“fascist lockdown”

Oh come on now. It’s only a little bit fascist.

Our resident FR MD’s tell us that they don’t believe in mandatory cv19 vax...other than the kind of mandatory in which, without being vaxxed, one cannot work, eat, travel, visit family etc.

I can even see Amazon canceling Prime memberships over non-cv19vax status.

Why Do Surgeons Wear Them?’

Because when we talk, tiny droplets of spittle come out and surgeon's masks prevent that spittle from getting into your innards.

You are looking at this protection thing from the perspective of avoiding infection from others. That is not how it is suppose to work. The purpose is to protect others from what you have. You may be asymptomatic and be a carrier. Before entering a public area, wash your hands, use hand sanitizer and use disinfectants spray to spray down your grocery cart ...


Aren’t you forgetting the pantyhose under your double mask set,

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/pdfs/mm7007e1-H.pdf

the face shield over all that, and then the gloves and booties, like I’ve seen at WalMart?

What are your favorite excesses so far?

China sticking long swabs up the butts of oir diplomatoc core?

Maybe the IMF’s suggestion that credit decisions be based on personal online browsing histories?

Or Trump still preening about delivering Operation Warp Speed for us?

the point of the article is... the mask literally does nothing.
especially the cloth ones.

there is no science supporting the concept. none.

if you’re unsure, go into an elevator, fully dressed, with a bunch of people wearing masks.

fart.

people will smell it.
thru your cloth underwear.
thru your dense cloth pants.
and thru their cloth mask.

if masks worked, they wouldn’t smell it.
