It's all about protecting others
...
We asked Steven Gordon, MD, Chairman of Cleveland Clinics Department of Infectious Disease, and pulmonologist Raed Dweik, MD, Chairman of Cleveland Clinics Respiratory Institute, about the science around these masks and why wearing them is important.
'''
There is evidence that such masks reduce the exhaled aerosols from infectious, but asymptomatic, individuals. he says. By blocking the exhale of virus particles in to the air around you, your mask is keeping the virus from spreading.
Additionally, the masks serve as a really helpful physical barrier when you cough or sneeze. Those actions can propel this cloud of droplets from you up to 25 or 26 feet, he says. Your mask can disrupt that cloud and keep those virus particles from traveling.

They are only lies if you are too stupid to understand. Which apparently you are. And arrogant as well.
Why dont you tell us why doctors and nurses in hospitals wear masks when they are doing surgery if they serve no purpose.
Yes, that’s fine.
Does AIDS have a 98% survival rate? No
That was the Cleveland CLinic. Specifically " Steven Gordon, MD, Chairman of Cleveland Clinics Department of Infectious Disease, and pulmonologist Raed Dweik, MD, Chairman of Cleveland Clinics Respiratory Institute"

Yesterday I posted articles from Yale and Harvard.
Who are you to call the most respected medical institutions in the country liars?
Those actions can propel this cloud of droplets from you up to 25 or 26 feet,
That’s a good projectile vomiting on a Sunday Morning.
I wish that bugger would go back to whatever totalitarian shithole he came from. Come to think about it, he probably never left it.
Any place where thought crime is prosecuted, I would think.
To prevent saliva and snot from entering an open wound/incision.
If masks work, why are we shut down?
If masks work why are caregivers etc using plastic shields when around Covid-19?
Wearing a mask to stop a virus is like putting up a chain link fence to stop mosquitoes.
Your mask is useless and you might as well concede defeat. This is a really smart virus. It knows to stay away from Costco, Walmart, Target, big corporate grocery stores, phamacies, hardware stores, gas stations and some other “essential’ enterprises. It knows “non-essential” businesses are fair game. A virus this smart will find a way around the edges of your mask if not waltz right on through your mask even if a N95er.
Never heard of them but others that are prestigious disagree about the efficacy of masks.
Easy to find an expert who says just the opposite. That’s why mask wearing should never have been mandated.
Neurosurgeon Says Face Masks Pose Serious Risk to Healthy People
PJ Media ^ | MAY 14, 2020 6:09 PM EST | Megan Fox
Dr. Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, has written an editorial addressing healthy people wearing masks to protect themselves from COVID-19 and his advice is: dont.
First, Blaylock says, there is no scientific evidence that it is effective against COVID-19 transmission. Pro-science people should care about this. Study links in article.
Now that we have established that there is no scientific evidence necessitating the wearing of a face mask for prevention, are there dangers to wearing a face mask, especially for long periods? Several studies have indeed found significant problems with wearing such a mask. This can vary from headaches, to increased airway resistance, carbon dioxide...
The same cat is up and down these mask threads. He no doubt knows that we consider the wearing of them a sign of surrender, weakness, and cuckery. And that many of us draw a line here.
Cleveland Clinic vs Russell Blaylock.? Really???
Google Blaylock’s name and the work quack.
I’m not saying Blaylock is a quack, but he is certainly made a lot of questionable claims in his career.
For those who live at or above 4,000 feet elevation, and have issues with breathing or are short of breath occasionally, tell these masked morons to eff off. You’re exempt!
Perpetuating these mask threads are like spam. Never ending loop of spin, day after day.
Masks in surgery prevent something from the mask wearer from infecting the person being treated.
Same reason we’re currently being asked to wear masks in stores, etc.
