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.

Surgeons wear masks in the operating room to Prevent infections to the patient whose guts would be opened to Human droplet contamination.

Also to protect the surgeon from getting the patients blood in his mouth and nose.

They also wear goggle to protect them eyes from flying blood droplets.

You have no clue what you’re talking about.

And extreme medical exposure with full PPE is a different situation, but all kinds of hospital circumstances (including the population of workers who had been most vulnerable early on) and approaches were changing in early April, 2020.

The masks are a joke. They are being used as a symbol that “we care”. I see people on grocery stores with them on their chins, under their noses and some people really get into the designer types to show off. I saw a guy drop one on the sidewalk, pick it up and put it back on. We will, someday, look back at this era and roll our eyes. (I hope)

This statement pegged my deception meter:

Masks “have not been proven to protect the patient operated by a healthy operating team.” This does not consider that COVID-19 can be spread by asymptomatic carriers. They may feel healthy, but they may be carriers of infection. If my surgical team walked into the operating room without masks, I would have demanded they put on the masks or risk having their medical credentials eliminated so they couldn’t practice medicine ever again. From the Hippocratic Oath:

“I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.”

Are you responding to my post #48? What? I have no clue? By the way, I have no clue what you are saying in your second paragraph.

Nothing. Experience >propaganda

Authorities have been lying to me my entire life. About what I should eat. About the medicines I have taken as prescribed & the effects of cannabis on my physiology & psychology.

The lies about food cost me 40+ years of chronic depression, anxiety & insomnia & damn near killed me.

The lies about the medications I took for 23 years harmed me, damaged by body & nearly killed me.

Every time I’ve made changes in my life directly opposed to the “experts” I have eliminated misery & sickness from my life while following their “advice” has been destructive to myself & my family.

I see surgeons all the time walking around with face shields, masks, scrubs, and gloves, and driving their cars that way too. I see them walking around with their hands extended to prevent from touching things. Oh, that’s right, they only do that in surgery, not even walking the halls of a hospital.

Yep. I really thought they would push the face shields or something. Easy to catch in your eyes.

“You are not wearing masks to protect yourself from getting infected. You are wearing masks to protect others from getting what you have.”

Ah, the olde “guilt trip” trick!

Scientific research done in almost any country except the duplicitous USA has found that masks are ineffective. Read the scientific research, NOT the news or politicians needs.

“...Although not a randomized clinical trial, this study provides critically important data to emphasize that masking helps prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2.....”

Anybody can change “results” of any test of any group at any time just by manipulating the numbers. The CDC has been shown to be less than honest about the Covid numbers and their “scientific” writers are not known for being scrupulous.

Good info to reinforce what I already knew but the Karen’s and government overlords will refuse to listen, because they of course have feelings and know better than an actual scientist.

I’ve had the same well used and unwashed mask in my pocket for at least six months.

However, it’s on the way to being replaced. My wife saw one online that a fine mesh. Completely and totally useless but it keeps the Karen’s happy.

Thank you. That’s exactly why I’m not taking the “vaccine” (bio-reprogramming)

Or you can just revert to being a normal human, pull down the stupid useless mask and lick your fingers.

Surgeons wear masks in the operating room to Prevent infections


The infections that are being prevented in a surgery are BACTERIAL infections. Common everyday to not so common BACTERIA.

If a surgeon was viremic and able to spread something, likely the fever involved would prevent the surgeon from even gowning up.

Bacteria are big compared to virus particles

Show me any branch of the Government that is fully competent and completely trustworthy.

You can’t. Why should we trust the CDC.

Remember their recommendation for double masking?

Yea, that was based on a study they did with test dummies not people.

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?

No
