20. Masks don’t work. At least a dozen scientific studies have shown that masks do nothing to stop the spread of respiratory viruses.

One meta-analysis published by the CDC in May 2020 found “no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks”.

Another study with over 8000 subjects found masks “did not seem to be effective against laboratory-confirmed viral respiratory infections nor against clinical respiratory infection.”

There are literally too many to quote them all, but you can read them: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Or read a summary by SPR here.

While some studies have been done claiming to show mask do work for Covid, they are all seriously flawed. One relied on self-reported surveys as data. Another was so badly designed a panel of experts demand it be withdrawn. A third was withdrawn after its predictions proved entirely incorrect.

The WHO commissioned their own meta-analysis in the Lancet, but that study looked only at N95 masks and only in hospitals. [For full run down on the bad data in this study click here.]

Aside from scientific evidence, there’s plenty of real-world evidence that masks do nothing to halt the spread of disease.

For example, North Dakota and South Dakota had near-identical case figures, despite one having a mask-mandate and the other not:

So what you do is go without a mask, meaning don’t even have a mask available. If the store or restaurant tells you that you must wear a mask then request one. If they can’t provide one tell them you’ll have to shop or eat elsewhere. If everyone did this the store either spends up money on masks or has no customers.

If your kid goes to school and they say he or she (or zee, or they or it (sarcasm)) has to have a mask then request one. If everybody did it the school would eventually complain to the school board to stop the mask mandate because it’s too expensive.

Actually masks "do" work.

If you bereathe into a mask long enough what you are rebreathing will help to degrade your immune system. Also, people get rashes,hedaches and other disorders wearing masks. And one of the key reason for the bad guys to wear masks is so they can be what they truly are:criminals.

So as we see masks do work just not for the individual but against mankind.
