Infectious disease expert says wearing two masks could enhance ability to 'get infected' by COVID-19.....

Michael Osterholm, who was a member of the Biden Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board, gave a second opinion after Dr. Anthony Fauci said last week that doubling up on face masks “likely” provides more protection than wearing just one mask.

"When we talk about double masking, remember what we're really talking about is just trying to prevent the virus from being excreted by me into the air or me inhaling the virus from someone else in the air, and it's both a function of face fit and face filtration," Osterholm said during an interview Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press.

If you add on another mask, you may actually make it tougher for the air to move through the two-cloth area, and then at that point, it causes more air to actually leak around the sides, which actually enhances your ability to get infected," Osterholm said.

Trump dumped the Fauci Quack.
And Fauci should be held over at Gitmo.

the cat’s out of the bag on masks. Admitted this weekend, the only really effective mask is a N-95, but they’d rather keep them for medical people. So the peasants are being told to double and triple mask. Also, those who have had CCPVirus still need to mask up because ‘everybody has to be the same’ and unmasked people make other people uncomfortable. This from auditing CNN’s goofball medical ‘expert’ early this afternoon.

Exactly...same with the folded fabric masks. Nothing like "sucking air" becaue you cannot breathe and planting the virus deep in the lungs.

I have yet to wear a mask — bandana’s for me. Washable, stylish, good for sandstorms and stick-ups too!

If you add on another mask, you may actually make it tougher for the air to move through the two-cloth area, and then at that point, it causes more air to actually leak around the sides, which actually enhances your ability to get infected,” Osterholm said.


If your mask was properly fit, no air would move around the sides. But these people seem hell bent on lowering the O2 intake of people to Hypoxemia levels and begin to experience shortness of breath, headache, and confusion or restlessness, blue-tinged nail beds, lips, skin or mucus membranes, that is a sign of cyanosis.

You really can’t breath properly even with one mask. I don’t wear them tight at all. In fact once in a store I drop it down.

Nine masks are better.
