Stanford study quietly published at NIH.gov proves face masks are absolutely worthless against Covid
The diapers most of us are wearing on our face most of the time apparently have no effect at stopping Covid-19. This explains a lot.
Did you hear about the peer-reviewed study done by Stanford University that demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt that face masks have absolutely zero chance of preventing the spread of Covid-19? No? It was posted on the the National Center for Biological Information government website. The NCBI is a branch of the National Institute for Health, so one would think such a study would be widely reported by mainstream media and embraced by the “science-loving” folks in Big Tech.
Instead, a DuckDuckGo search reveals it was picked up by ZERO mainstream media outlets and Big Tech tyrants will suspend people who post it, as political strategist Steve Cortes learned the hard way when he posted a Tweet that went against the face mask narrative. The Tweet itself featured a quote and a link that prompted Twitter to suspend his account, potentially indefinitely.
He was quoting directly from the NCBI publication of the study. The government website he linked to features a peer-reviewed study by Stanford University’s Baruch Vainshelboim. In it, he cited 67 scholars, doctors, scientists, and other studies to support his conclusions.
The sentence Cortes quoted from the study’s conclusion reads: “The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks.”
Vainshelboim drew many conclusions from the vast information he compiled, but arguably the biggest bombshell in it can be found in the “Efficacy of facemasks” section [emphasis added]:
According to the current knowledge, the virus SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 60 nm to 140 nm [nanometers (billionth of a meter)] [16], [17], while medical and non-medical facemasks’ thread diameter ranges from 55 µm to 440 µm [micrometers (one millionth of a meter), which is more than 1000 times larger [25]. Due to the difference in sizes between SARS-CoV-2 diameter and facemasks thread diameter (the virus is 1000 times smaller), SARS-CoV-2 can easily pass through any facemask
Is that you Fauci? I'll bet you feel like Wonder Woman too. Stop spreading your superiority BS and realize that you have been completely played by the globalists, and are now nothing more than a useful idiot.
Surprise! Government lied again.
This has been well known for a long time with other studies as well but science is the last thing the government gives a damn about.
Another study, yet to be completed is the affect government mandates have one mindless idiots that do whatever they are told.
That study will find 75% of the population are very much like lemmings and/or sheep.
No, actually I just destroyed that study.
And kozak is unavailable for comment.🤣
I read it, and noticed the complete lack of originality in it. Here is the first two paragraph of the publisher’s description of the guide for authors written by the journal itself:
“The purpose of Medical Hypotheses is to publish interesting theoretical papers. The journal will consider radical, speculative and non-mainstream scientific ideas provided they are coherently expressed.”
A lot of people are already certain of everything, are simply looking for support for their point of view, and stop once they’ve found some.

Exactly what we’ve known, all along.
Big tech denying this being posted, even though it comes from one of their own outlets.....says it all.
😂😂👍🏻👍🏻
If you click on his name, rather than author information, pub med will take you to a list of all his other published studies.
From them, I surmise he is a respiratory specialist or therapist.
Coronavirus PING!
I don’t feel smugness when I wear a mask; my feeling is more like “F Larry Hogan.”
Too late for a long response.
Masks and the particle scientists have been the subject of controversy for a long time. Many states rebelled against CDC guidance based on lab studies during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic.
The issue is: how many other factors besides penetration of a particle are involved in establishing an infection, and how to universal masks modulate those factors?
If one particle at any velocity arriving at the entrance to the nose caused an infection 100% of the time, then, masks would indeed be useless. This is, however, not the case.
Ordinary surgical or procedure masks are very effective for preventing influenza infections among bedside nurses caring for influenza patients, for example.
COVID has caused a lot of money to be sloshing around, and the particle scientists have not been left out. But their experimental conditions describe a worst case scenario which is not duplicated in the real world.
Agree with your “bottom line” assessment..and we are approaching “herd immunity in a couple months, so pompous Fauci’s “15-minutes” are long expired and he needs to disappear. On the other hand statements like “masks are absolutely useless against COVID” are just as stupid as some of Fauci’s. Use common sense and protect yourself against a “USA Top 2 All-Time” influenza pandemic...esp. if elderly and/or obese with underlying health issues.

I like the saying, “wearing a face mask to prevent Covid-19 is like using a chain link fence to keep mosquitos from flying onto your porch!” Ineffective and dehumanizing, but, it makes the folks/sheep “feel good and cooperative to humanity.”
What could be better?
I’ve got some questions. I’ll start with the easy one.
do you wear a mask in order to protect yourself or others? Not a trick question, just want to know.
In the beginning of the pandemic, I wore a mask to protect others because they were still unsure about asymptomatic spread and whether fomites were a source of spread. Source control and cloth masks do reduce droplet spread.
I was never dumb enough to think my cloth masks would protect me. Handwashing is far more protective.
Then I had covid in December. I quit masks after being fully recovered, even though I live in super locked down Oregon. Nobody has gotten on my case since mid-March. The few times I got questioned before that, I just said I was a fully recovered Covidee and myob.
My bestie and I went on a real clothes shopping spree about two weeks ago and while the employees offered us masks, they just said “Enjoy shopping” when we politely declined. We went to about 5 retail stores and nobody kicked us out.
At Hobby Lobby and Dollar Tree, they open a new register and pull me out of the line... every time. If they are going to treat me special, I’m going to keep acting special. LOL!
I plan to get vaccinated if and when they establish that natural immunity wears off, because I’m not doing that again.
When something like flubola arrives, demographics will certainly change.
