Most blue surgical face masks used by many during the pandemic are not enough to avoid people from being infected with COVID-19, an alarming new study has found.
The study from the University of Waterloo in Canada showed N95 or KN95 masks did the best job in containing aerosol droplets from the wearer's mouth.
The blue, cloth surgical masks that have become popular during the pandemic were found be only 10 percent effective as it doe not cover the face properly.

Oh, now you tell us./sarc
In other words, go outside. Yet they impose lockdowns and mask wearing. Psychopaths.
All one needs to do is look at the warning on the box. Its pretty clear they do nothing

Solar powered windmill virtue signaling hats will be the next lunacy.
You are so correct
ONLY an IDIOT would think a mask protects you from a virus.
47 studies confirm ineffectiveness of masks for COVID and 32 more confirm their negative health effects
They protect a lot better if soaked in Jack Danials first. At least that’s what I told the officer.
It's like the early "sanitize", "sanitize", "sanitize". After a year of doing that, the "scientists" said....never mind.
In a related story, Fauci is now demanding that Americans wear TEN face masks, in order to achieve 100% effectiveness.

Loved this part:
“...we need to talk about respirators...”
That being routinely worn instead of the standard N95 mask.
MIT came out with a study a few months ago that said the same thing. It’s airborne so the best way to disperse it is with good ventilation. I’m sure this article will get buried very quickly.
A face mask is a security blanket for adults. It would terrify most people it they understood a mask does nothing in an indoor environment with an airborne virus.
They all knew this long ago
They all knew the masks were useless, yet they STILL insist on forcing it on us ... now they want to force kids to wear them in school too
It’s all about control and keeping people in fear!!
Back in February 2020 I was caught up in the fear and looked into things. Covid 19 is transmitted in the same way the flu is. And there is plenty of research on the flu. Of course it is airborne. An N95 mask helps reduce the bits by about 50%. Not perfect, but when accounting that one’s body can handle a certain viral load - it helps. (A cloth mask or doctor’s mask does nothing to keep you safe. It probably limits the spread of any viruses that you might have. A bit.)
Lots of studies on how the flu virus can travel long distances. Although the smaller particles that travel further also dry out more quickly and the virus doesn’t survive very long. The flu virus on typical clothing is not viable after about 20 minutes.
I think that the “48 hours” or whatever they claimed for Covid on various surfaces was based on a “safety factor” because Covid is more dangerous than the flu. “Okay, well the flu virus isn’t viable after 20 minutes - so lets say 3 hours just to be safe. COVID!!?? Lets multiply that by 10!!! Oh - 30 hours, what is that - like a day and 6 hours?? Okay - just make it 48 hours. Two days!”
The science on these masks prior to April 2020 was that they are effective if someone is sneezing or coughing in catching water droplets. For normal breathing it does very little, and that you should only wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing...but if you know you are sick you shouldn’t be going out anyway and being around others, making them even more useless.
