Face Masks Made ‘Little to No Difference’ in Preventing Spread of COVID: Study
New York Post ^ | February 14, 2023 | Melissa Rudy

The stance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on face masks has taken many twists and turns throughout the COVID pandemic.

After initially claiming face coverings weren’t necessary, the CDC changed course in April 2020, calling on all Americans — even children as young as 2 — to mask up.

That September, then-CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield said during a Senate hearing that “face masks are the most important powerful health tool we have,” even suggesting that they might offer more protection than vaccines.

NYS lifted its muzzle mandate for healthcare settings and nursing homes Sunday night.

I haven’t found a single NYS health system that has removed its muzzle mandate.

Every time I have been in a healthcare setting iver the last three years I see healthcare workers violating their own infection control protocols with regard to muzzles.

And since muzzles are fomites, wonder how much muzzles have contributed to nosocomial spread of far more than coof in healthcare settings.

Not that health systems care.

A case of goggle‐mask‐related impetigo at the time of the COVID‐19 pandemic

But get this, from the link...

...The patient was instructed to rest at home, stop wearing goggles and masks, and apply topical 2% fusidic acid cream twice daily. The lesions were completely resolved after 7 days of treatment...

Bacterial and fungal isolation from face masks under the COVID-19 pandemic

I won't print the rest of what I am thinking.

The masks do not work.
Did you even read the study?
Wishful thinking does not make it so.

Masks create a false sense of security and they are filthy.

The last part of that paragraph may very well be accurate

LOL. I saw a tweet about Karine Jean-Pieere saying Biden was the best communicator in the WH and the twitter user said the same thing you did.

The truly vile, evil part of the masking lie was that once-reputable, once-trusted "medical professionals" told their patients that really needed to avoid exposure to the Fauci Flu that if they wore a mask and avoided others unless they too were masked, the patient would be protected.

If told by a "medical professional" who really believes this fiction, that "medical professional" is ignorant and has lost their credibility to dispense medical advice.

If told by a "medical professional" who damn-well knows masking won't affect transmission of a respiratory virus then it's a lie ... a damnable, vile lie they used to purposely put their patient at risk.

I just had an idea, so I’m passing it on to any manufacturers lurking who have some testicular fortitude and want to make some money...

Health systems in NYS are STILL demanding patients wear muzzles.

So here’s what I’d like to be able to buy: disposable facemasks with the words NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE IN HEALTHCARE SETTTINGS printed on one side.

I’m doing my darndest to stay away out of Big Med’s clutches, but in the event I can’t do that, I want to be able to wear one of those when I have to go.
