A government study finds mask mandates are ineffective.

According to the analysis, mask mandates did not reduce deaths, patients hospitalized in either intensive care or regular hospital beds or ventilator use.

Mask mandates also did not reduce number of Covid-19 positive patients.

The study was conducted by scientists from the US Army Institute of Surgical Research and the Brooke Army Medical Center, JBSA Fort Sam Houston, Texas, the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland, the Madigan Army Medical Center, Joint Base Lewis McChord, Washington, the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson, Colorado, and the 121st Field Hospital, Camp Humphreys, Republic of Korea.

There was no reduction in per-population daily mortality, hospital bed, ICU bed, or ventilator occupancy of COVID-19-positive patients attributable to the implementation of a mask-wearing mandate.

Which would be the same thing they were saying about masks prior to the end of March 2020. Other than N95 masks that have been custom fit to your face.

Conclusion: Masks. Do. Not. Work.

At least not for the purposes claimed. But they are a great virtue-signaling and compliance device.

Also helpful would be if people actually took care of themselves.

Eat healthy, exercise, manage stress, get sleep, be happy...

No studies were needed. We know that wearers must inhale and exhale around the edges and that the fabric can’t filter out viruses.

What about the masks themselves? Pretty ineffective as well. As for “mandates”, leave that to dawn lemon and randy andy cooper.

Canā€™t do that, one size fits all.

The only answer is the jab, natural immunity not worth researching.

Remember, this is ā€œthe scienceā€ and it is settled (sarc).

We were taught this in the part of boot camp that teaches about chemical biological and nuclear warfare in 1975.

“Meantime, the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) announced doubled penalties for face mask violations.”

So much for “follow the science”.

Yep. I go for a walk daily, and meditate twice daily.

Meditation helps activate the Parasympathetic nervous system, which alleviates stress and decreases cortisol levels.

Duh. It took a bunch of over educated morons to figure that out?

I have been fitted for N95, there are two sizes, so it’s not bespoke fitting.

You still don’t see N95s for sale. Plenty of those duckbill KN95 supposed equivalents. Air flows around the edges; they are impossible to seal to the face without tape, and even if you did that and maintained airproof integrity of the tape, there are heat weld stitch marks, which are riddled with holes.

That our nation still is not producing N95s in quantity, and depending on Chinese fakes, is stupidity and madness.

No scientific basis for mask wearing...although wearing one does make it harder to spit on the floor.
