There is a review of over 14 RCTs (randomized controlled trial) studies of mask effectiveness. Masks don’t work.

I agree on that. Also on fine particulate matter environments.

Somebody here on FR mentioned following logical orders was not the obedience they wanted, they want you to follow illogical orders.

[Jane Long]

Lol…so true. This very smart virus knows when you’ve been eating, it knows when you take a drink, on that, you cannot fake. So….you better mask up, for goodness sake.

🙃

[dadfly]

lol. now it’s “fact focus” huh?

everything AP is a load of agitprop. if they print it, think the opposite.

[PilotDave]

I’m so old that I remember when dr falsey and the surgeon General said that masks don’t work and the general population should NOT wear them. I defer to their expert an unanimous advise.

[fatman6502002]

On the side of those green and white boxes in which the paper masks come in, there is a warning and it says “WARNING: This mask does not provide protection against viral or bacterial infection”. Its right on the box.

[RKBA Democrat]

That’s nice. I’m still not flying and still not wearing a Biden Bib.

I’d invite AP to stick it, but they’d enjoy it too much.

From Orwell's 1984 (this is gonna sound so familiar it is scary):

"To know and not to know,

to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies,

to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them,

to use logic against logic,

to repudiate morality while laying claim to it"

[bramps]

If prevention was really their objective, everybody would have had a gross of n95 mask delivered to their doors long ago.

[sergeantdave]

AP lies to their mothers, their dogs, their spouses, their best friends, their fake gods, their bartenders and, the ultimate sacrilege, their spaghetti-arm trans baristas at Starbucks.

[MrRelevant]

Masks are useless in general. Even more so on an airplane

[ground_fog]

The prop is outta control. lol so sad people don’t see this. They are all paid off!!

[Cold Heart]

Thanks

[Cobra64]

Once in a while mask Nazi will ask me if I have a mask. Yup! And I produce one that is so ratty that it’s in a plastic zip-lok bag.

Then I ask if they want to borrow it. 😃

[logi_cal869]

I see the propaganda keyword has already been applied.

Done here.

[Recompennation]

AP declared.
Dupers duping the dupable
Not me ap sucks

[Major Matt Mason]

The AP and facts aren't exactly bedfellows.

[RetiredTexasVet]

The airplane filters are probably much more effective than a personal mask excepting those containing a self-contained carbon filter and air supply.

[M Kehoe]

“experts told The Associated Press.”

Experts have been fu@king up for the last 22 months...

Or, haven’t the idiots at the AP noticed?

Total, unadulterated BS. If underwear plus jeans won’t stop a fart, crappy little surgical masks or bandannas won’t stop a virus with much smaller particles.
