Doesn’t matter. Americans have been convinced that masks are important, and anyone not wearing one is hurting YOU.
Facts be damned this is a feelings based society.
We’ve always known that.
“but did not examine whether the wearer protects others by using the item. “
I thought most of the advice about masks was that you wear them to protect others.
The fearpers will respond so we should wear nothing on our face?
Yes. Just wash your hands, use hand santizer and socially distance if you want.
A friend of mine told me several weeks about this. He knew somebody who talked to one of the authors of the study. According to my friend, the authors were published by St Fauci to not announce their findings until after our election.
It's not about infection, it's about COMPLIANCE!
Reindoctrination Camps are next.
She's a Dane, and captioned this dig at Americans thusly:
Clearly, masks are effective since we are experiencing the largest disease outbreak yet while mask mandates were in effect. It’s science.
Non-possible!
Covid Karens assure me we must cower in place with our Face-Depends(TM) securely fastened to our pie-holes.
I can't figure out what was the original word Otto Kor Wrecked replaced with 'published'.
Social Distancing is not “Science”. It is “Fantasy”, unsupported by any data anywhere, to my knowledge.
It depends on what the mask is supposed to do. In the hospital it is to keep one from being exposed to infectious body fluids. In the natural environment it is supposed to keep viruses out. Clear empirical evidence now shows that the mask is meaningless for casual wear. The NEJM recently published a strong controlled study showing that mask wearing increased chances of a positive test result, which just make sense if you think about it, and the opposite result from what we have been having drummed into us. There is no “science” that supports mask use among the general population.
The medical community in this nation had lost all credibility AND WILL NEVER REGAIN IT.
Sorry “published” should be “pressured”
Masks don’t work to keep out viruses or to keep them contained. Using a mask against a virus is like being shot at and taking cover behind a chain link fence. It is the size of the particles that matter.
Masks do work to protect against bacteria being exhaled by hospital staff during surgeries and other similar procedures but the patients were rarely masked. How many masks did you ever see being worn by hospital staff under normal circumstances before this insanity?

I’ve yet to see a convincing argument that my wearing a mask protects others. I can understand that my wearing a mask might protect you if I were infected and you were not wearing a mask. Why wouldn’t you wearing a mask provide you as much protection as my wearing a mask.
Quite frankly, it sounds like ‘made up science’ to justify everyone wearing a mask.
He's taken an elephant's worth of data and distilled it down to a dinner plate sized portion.
I’m going to have fun shoving this in faces...so to speak.
Somewhere my good buddy (he must be a good buddy, he follows me everywhere) Otto Kor Wrecked is smiling...
