The FDNY has ordered all firetruck and ambulance personnel to mask up while rendering patient care due to outbreaks of infectious diseases, The Post has learned.
The department-wide directive, issued Friday, comes amid an increase in COVID-19, flu and respiratory virus cases, officials said.
Effective immediately, all those who provide pre-hospital emergency treatment in NYC must wear a surgical mask, preferably an N95.

Well put.
I copied the below letter to my son who served with Federal Protective Agency and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and went through FLETC training. He said he was issued a respirator and the N-95 masks. He was told cloth masks would be effective against only droplets and should never be used.
When facing hazards, the N-95 mask could be used, but only after ensuring proper seal and negative pressure by following a three-step procedure. Then after a half hour he had to leave the area and reestablish the seal with a new mask. Masks could only prevent receiving and never prevent spreading biological agents

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) proclaimed its latest policy about masks and our governor mandated wearing by children as school began.
However, the best science the CDC could provide was uncontrolled studies highlighting first such groups as 139 hairdresser clients, 382 sailors on the U.S.S. Roosevelt, 124 Beijing households, and 839 Thailand residents subject to contact tracing. All results came from observation followed by personal judgement, and none resulted from the mathematical disciplines used to rigorously evaluate complex environments.
In the same article the CDC disparaged the 2020 randomized controlled trial (RCT) in Denmark involving 4,862 participants, which found no benefit to wearing masks to prevent infection. The disciplines of a RCT divides participants into different groups on a randomized basis. Random assignment means that factors not specifically controlled can cancel each other out by appearing equally in both groups. One group receives the treatment (which in this case was the mask) and the other group does not. Researchers can isolate the one variable and are not able to introduce biases to produce a preferred outcome.
RCT’s are considered the highest standard for this type of research. Therefore, the most reasonable approach for the CDC would have been to consider this study as a benchmark against which others would be evaluated, including studies from other countries which found masks ineffective and even harmful.
The above represents an especially valid approach, since the first four combined citations from their May scientific brief had less than half the participants of the Danish study. The proposed approach is especially valid also because the CDC dismissed the study for involving only .001 of Denmark’s population. At the same time polls predicting the decisions of 150,000,000 voters in a national election were determined by less than 1,500 participants or less than .00001.

Our government is INFESTING NY with ILLEGALS infested with STD's, infectious diseases, TB, Covid, and God knows what, then forces NY'ers to mask-up in response.
And doncha love this bit...
“...preferably an N95...”
Which still don’t work to orevwnt person-to-person transmission of airborne upper respiratory viruses.
And as opposed to...what?
Muzzles that cone from a box that say not for use in healthcare settings...
KN95s, which aren’t authorized for use in healthcare settings in the US...
And N95s, in addition to not working, ain’t cheap, are they? Especially if you replace them often, which you should.
If Gotham’s firefighters knuckle under to this...
Well, so much for NYC’s bravest.
The FDNY Commissioner further required that all FDNY personnel wear seat belts to prevent automobile accidents. The use of condoms only applies to personnel who use he/him pronouns.

Where could it all have come from?
The masks the CDC already officially acknowledged did not work?
The only stupid part is the masses buying into it.
The implementers are straight up evil.
The spaces in the mesh of the mask fabric will allow Covid to pass through. How many times do we have to prove that?
Should they carry a feather like Dumbo if they believe in it?
Importing illegals spreads unknown illnesses.
New York Stupid runs very deep.
Where are all these new contagious diseases coming from?
Still not enough to repeat the 2020 election steal in the SAME way. They’ll have to change things up.
If they comply, they deserve it. They should all go on strike. See how that works out for them.
NEWS FLASH! Masks do not F’n work or protect you!
It’s a real mystery.
I’m totally baffled.
Yeah, that ought to do it, FDNY.
Hmmm. What could be bringing infectious diseases to New York?
