I Ran 22 Miles in a Mask Just to Show That They are Safe"
Newsweek ^ | July 28, 2020 | Tom Lawton

My enduring memories of the pandemic in 2020 will be centered around one thing: masks. They have been central to my work over the past five months - but I never expected that I would become a target for internet trolls after proving how safe it is to wear a mask.

He should smoke a pack of cigarettes and drink a six pack of beer then run 22 miles to prove how harmless they are.

The next flaw in this logic is that such masks have no ability to stop a virus. So what safety is he referring to? Just that the masks dont kill you?

Hey, I don’t wear one in my own yard, or when I am in the woods or on a boat with no one else around. I honestly also try to be sanitary as can be regarding taking it on and off, minimizing touching, etc. I also change it with the awareness of hmmm... maybe I could be inhaling the germs back in that I just expelled.

Well if you say that as a video , expect to be deleted off YouTube, if you say it as a tweet, expect to be deleted or suspended from Twitter. Then Facebook, expect it to be denounced as false by fact-check.

And yet, there was a man in New Jersey, driving his car while wearing his mask who passed out, wrecked his car, and died. Breathing into bags, sacks, and masks can be lethal, SIR DR.

So, it looks like he just wore a piece of cloth with ear loops on it rather than a ‘real’ mask, and definitely not an N95 mask. Looks to be a fairly loose fit, not fully sealed around his cheeks.

After our Governor sent the State Police to enforce mask wearing in my local Walmart, I wore an N-95 mask, and despite it being one of the type with an exhaust valve, I was about to pass out just pushing my cart around the store (although admittedly, i do shop pretty fast), and was sweating like a pig under it too.

Next time I went to the store, I wore a two layer fabric mask, also loose fit around my cheeks, like his was, and had absolutely no problems.

This article is just more propaganda trying to mislead the sheep.

Exactly right. I was allergic to grapefruit juice when I was in my 20’s. My brother said that was crazy and drank a glass of grapefruit juice to prove it.

Brussels Sprouts are safe too but that doesn’t mean I should be forced to eat them five times a day.

It said that they cannot legally throw you out if you have a valid reason .. most don’t have the courage anymore to even try

And he wrote for Newsweek, so he proved he doesn’t have brain damage? I don’t think so...

Why 22 miles? Did he set out to run a marathon and fail?

I would prefer some variety. I like cucumbers more.

When you were finished, did you go back to your hiding place under your bed?

That would be a lot of breathing man and a lot moist breath going through or around that mask. If you had a virus, do you really think the mask would block the virus but not all that moist breath?
