“The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material.”
- Dr. Fauci, February 2020

They speak of "evolving information" but the size of the virus remains unchanged, as do the size of the holes in the mask.

Sorry Charlie, The cat is already out of that bag!

We KNOW from the reporting on a multitude of studies that MASKS DON’T WORK!

In fact, THEY DO HARM!

So, STFU.

That Bangladeshi study has been thoroughly debunked.

Lots of other studies suggest masks make no difference for respiratory illness spread.

And excess death data makes pretty clear that there was never a spreading “Covid” virus, unless in a few targeted areas for a few weeks in early 2020, to go along with lots of killer protocols introduced at that time which could also explain the bump in illness and death (e.g., NYC stopping resuscitation for all heart attack calls).

Other than that...

10% effective? That could easily be applied to other immune factors.

Not according to numerous studies 15-20 years ago - masks in a hospital setting, used by professionals, couldn’t ward off influenza. Critical thinking skills and knowledge would indicate the statement is laughable.

And all those research facilities could save many, many millions just using masks instead of positive pressure suits and sterilization equipment for their staff studying viruses. Better let them know!

There are some ideas so stupid only a lib-tard ‘intellectual’ could believe them.

“Face masks ward off covid-19, so why are we still arguing about it?”

Because Covid never was stopped via mask mandates and “Vaccine” mandates.
Oh, and even an NIH study stated masks did not do anything and actually made things worse.

The only benefit the masks could possibly have is to remind people to wash their hands often. People still wear the masks here in Whatcom County, WA, including audiences at Mount Baker Theater in Bellingham.

Garlic and crosses would have similar efficacy.

Something I have never had, despite not being masked or vaccinated.

I have great faith in any medical study that comes out of Bangladesh. Because that place is well-known for having rigorous controls when it comes to personal hygiene.

And salt wards off evil spirits so why not require everyone to throw salt over their shoulders upon going outside?

I saw Junkies on the sidewalk sharing needles - wearing blue masks.

Perfect, I thought.

The masks do nothing, like the six feet.

What should be studied are the respiratory problems from excessive mask wearing.

It's always good to remember that "Covid" became an industry right quick. There are millions, maybe billions, of masks languishing in pricey warehouses and they have to move that merchandise.

If Masky McMaskerson wants to strap a bacteria-laden piece of cloth over his or her breathing holes, have at it.

Just don’t expect others to go along with it.

"newscientist"

I guess it's kind of like "newspeak".
