These two case studies add to a body of existing knowledge:
“The finding adds to a growing body of evidence that cloth face coverings provide source control – that is, they help prevent the person wearing the mask from spreading COVID-19 to others.”
There are numerous other stronger studies over decades who have shown no such effect with viruses of this type.
There are other entry points for viruses other than facial orifices.
It’s worse than the way you describe it. The two hair stylist thingie is not a study,it’s a story. Studies have a control group where the variable is isolated. It is not “sciency” to put up anecdotes as evidence or proof of anything
“The latest science endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control indicates that wearing face mask helps prevent the spread of COVID-19”
I am not too interested in what the CDC says about anything.
When they come out with guidance on gun control (like the AAP does), will you be endorsing that as well?
My own wellness MD does not recommend masks, distancing, lockdowns or vaccines for this scamdemic. I’ve followed his advice for 20 years. Not about to listen to CDC bureaucrats on anything.
In the July 14, 2020 “JAMA” online edition, this article was published:
“Universal Masking to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Transmission—The Time Is Now”:
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2768532
These words are at the beginning of the article:
“prior to implementation of universal masking in late March 2020, new infections among HCWs with direct or indirect patient contact were increasing exponentially, from 0% to 21.3% (a mean increase of 1.16% per day). However, after the universal masking policy was in place, the proportion of symptomatic HCWs with positive test results steadily declined, from 14.7% to 11.5% (a mean decrease of 0.49% per day). Although not a randomized clinical trial, this study provides critically important data to emphasize that masking helps prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2.”
Ever been to a grocery store or supermarket?,
Try opening the thin plastic bags to put in the carrots....
impossible without damp fingers.
Then at the checkout....paper bags work OK
But thick plastic bags not so much.
Show me a study from someone you trust.
When at the produce section, those plastic bags are hard to open with dry fingers. However, most produce sections regularly mist their produce. You can always dampen your fingers in that area without having to lick your fingers.
I trust the advice of my MD
Because surgeons will be leaning over open incisions for a sustained period of time? Really - this has nothing to do with Covid. It’s really pointing to trying to keep open wounds clean while operating.
Most stores have hand sanitizer and sanitizing sprays to disinfect your fingers and hands upon entering the store. You do use them don’t you?
The good doctor wasted a lot of words and demonstrates the group think that can occur in every profession. CDC Director Dr. Redfield explained what masks do, which is not to stop all virus particles, but to reduce the number of them, thus allowing people to build immunity by reducing viral load. Reduced viral load also reduces severity of disease and the death rate.

Do you recall the scandal when the CDC failed to follow it's own protocols and developed millions of Covid masks that were contaminated? I know I do! It was in the New York Times, of all places!
How about when Trump took over collection of Covid-19 statistics because the CDC basically wasn't checking them for accuracy and were therefore misreporting.
The only reason the CDC has any reputation at all is the MSM falsely promotes them as the gold standard because they are controlled. That's why all dissenting opinion must be punished - because those who dissent are not controlled.
Do you recall ever living in a time in history where doctors could lose their jobs for stating their medical opinion on Youtube or Twitter? I don't!
The Science is Conclusive: Masks and Respirators do NOT Prevent Transmission of Viruses

And what about making healthy people without symptoms wear masks? Did you see what Fauci said about that?

You are not wearing masks to protect yourself from getting infected. You are wearing masks to protect others from getting what you have.
Hand washing is very important. I worked where we manufactured K-cups used in those coffee machines. We had to hand wash for 20 seconds before entering the production area and leaving the production area. There was a person there to monitor your handwashing. Get caught not doing it correctly and you were out the door. I cannot stress the importance of hand washing. It protects others from you contaminating them with what you have. It also illustrates the way we should approach hygiene safety.
CDC = IRS = USPS. Meh.
masks do nothing g to order ent the spread of infection. particularly the masks worn in the grocery store and the way they are worn. The only thing masks are good for is inducing feelings of self righteousness and moral superiority in their proponents. Even the CDC data they crises about couldn’t produce a decent statistically significant reason to wear masks
Masks should be OPTIONAL...if you’re paranoid, wear them. But leave me and mine OUT OF IT.
“You can always dampen your fingers in that area without having to lick your fingers.”
Just what we need is more unwashed hands randomly touching produce just to wet fingers.
