colgate total with at least 0.07 percent cetypyridinium chloride (CPC) probably helped prevent catching covid more than masks did

How can you tell when the government is lying?

It’s whenever they say or publish anything.

True believers out there are still masking up. Still trying to mask kids. Mentally ill.

GEEE, who would have ever imagined that a standard dust/fume mask wouldn’t work against some particulate only 100 nanometers in size.

Remember 1 nanometer is only 1 BILLIONTH of a meter!

Using the masks I see all the IDIOTS wearing is like using a chain link fence to stop mosquitos.

Even an N95 mask is only good for particles down to 0.30 microns (nanometers) and guess what, a Covid particle is only 0.125 microns (nanometers); YOUR MASK IS WORTHLESS!

And cloth masks are about the worst!

COVID-19’s lasting impact: ‘Less attractive’ people wear masks more often than others...

https://www.foxnews.com/health/covid-19-impact-less-attractive-people-wear-masks-more-others-study

The study’s authors added, “Our findings suggest that mask-wearing can shift from being a self-protection measure during the COVID-19 pandemic to a self-presentation tactic in the post-pandemic era.”

But the researchers emphasize the effects of self-perceived attractiveness on the intention to wear a mask only applies to situations when people are very motivated to make a good impression, said co-author Incheol Choi, a professor of psychology at Seoul National University in Seoul, South Korea, to Fox News Digital.

“In his private emails, Fauci repeatedly told friends and colleagues that surgical or cloth face masks were useless, as the COVID-19 particles were too small to be blocked by simple cloth.”

Yawn. Some of us just shake our heads and smile when we read the articles pro and con about the masks. We didn’t succumb to the insanity coming from our corrupt government.

Masks made a great emotional crutch. Fine for dust particles, or pollen, but virtually useless against ANY virus.

Any weave of the fabric fine enough to effectively stop virus particles would be almost an entirely effective barrier to the passage of air into and carbon dioxide/water vapor out of the mask. Not even to call into question the difficulty in getting a tight seal around the edges of the mask.

Thanks for this information. I live in PA and work in NJ where the mask wearing is still common. The people I work with are so far gone they ignore all facts and science. Matter of fact, every single person in my office has been vaccinated and boosted numerous times. They are all on their 2nd and 3rd rounds of Covid and still wear masks and still eagerly count the days to their next booster. It is a sickness and when one thinks that death is still imminent, they will do anything to survive…even if they lie to themselves.
