Triple masking? Scientists say 3 layers provide the most protection against COVID viral droplets
Study finds ^ | September 29, 2021 | studyfinds

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — With COVID’s Delta variant becoming the new concern during the pandemic, many areas are continuing to insist that the public use face masks. However, just how many masks will do? According to a recent study, three-layered masks are more effective at preventing the spread of COVID viral particles.

Previous studies have shown masks with three layers are more successful at blocking the passage of small respiratory particles however, recent research indicates they are also better at preventing large particles from breaking down into smaller droplets. This makes them the better option for protection.

In a study using a droplet generator, researchers from the University of California-San Diego obtained images of this phenomenon using a high-speed time-lapse camera. They tested surgical masks with varying layers to see how large droplets pass through each layer. The team, including scientists from the Indian Institute of Science and the University of Toronto, added virus emulating particles (VEPs) to simulate the transference of COVID viral particles.

Swiss Immunologist Beda Stadler:
′′ Asymptomatic positives don’t exist, it’s immune subjects that don’t transmit the disease. The mistake happens because tests are incapable of determining if the virus is still active or already destroyed by the immune system.
Many people are already immune to the virus because they’ve already had other similar Corornavirs.
Healthy people wearing a mask better wear a helmet because the risk of something falling on their head is greater than being seriously infected with the virus!”

Three?

Why not four or five or ten?

Duct tape over the nose and mouth would also prevent all virus transmission.

In a study using a droplet generator …
So they have to invent a device to produce the results they want. That’s real science? Nope.

A single layer of plastic wrap works the best for virus protection (esp. on Libs).

Yeah, I won’t be doing that.

And keep that nasty mask fetish off of innocent children.

According to a recent study, three-layered masks are more effective at preventing the spread of COVID viral particles.

Three layers of mask, aka “The George Floyd”

20. Masks don’t work. At least a dozen scientific studies have shown that masks do nothing to stop the spread of respiratory viruses.

One meta-analysis published by the CDC in May 2020 found “no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks”.

Another study with over 8000 subjects found masks “did not seem to be effective against laboratory-confirmed viral respiratory infections nor against clinical respiratory infection.”

There are literally too many to quote them all, but you can read them: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Or read a summary by SPR here.

While some studies have been done claiming to show mask do work for Covid, they are all seriously flawed. One relied on self-reported surveys as data. Another was so badly designed a panel of experts demand it be withdrawn. A third was withdrawn after its predictions proved entirely incorrect.

The WHO commissioned their own meta-analysis in the Lancet, but that study looked only at N95 masks and only in hospitals. [For full run down on the bad data in this study click here.]

Aside from scientific evidence, there’s plenty of real-world evidence that masks do nothing to halt the spread of disease.

For example, North Dakota and South Dakota had near-identical case figures, despite one having a mask-mandate and the other not:

In Kansas, counties without mask mandates actually had fewer Covid “cases” than counties with mask mandates. And despite masks being very common in Japan, they had their worst flu outbreak in decades in 2019.

21. Masks are bad for your health. Wearing a mask for long periods, wearing the same mask more than once, and other aspects of cloth masks can be bad for your health. A long study on the detrimental effects of mask-wearing was recently published by the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health

Dr. James Meehan reported in August 2020 he was seeing increases in bacterial pneumonia, fungal infections, facial rashes .

Masks are also known to contain plastic microfibers, which damage the lungs when inhaled and may be potentially carcinogenic.

Childen wearing masks encourages mouth-breathing, which results in facial deformities.

People around the world have passed out due to CO2 poisoning while wearing their masks, and some children in China even suffered sudden cardiac arrest.

Hey, why stop at three?

If you’re foolish enough to wear three, go whole hog and wear fifty - guaranteed to be effective from the Wuhan Flu after four minutes...

I incorrectly guessed, as I was reading the headline, that this was the Babylon Bee.

I’ve lived my life as normal and driven all over the United state visiting relatives. I’ve worn a mask a total of aproximately 90 minutes in that time. That was mostly in Costco when they sought me out to tell me to put my mask back on - multiple times per trip. Even when in an aisle all by myself.

Lunacy.
