I'm a doctor. I've seen an increase in Strep Throat, esp among people wearing the cloth masks. These will breed bacteria, even if you wash them daily.

Children are most susceptible for the sore throats.

I would imagine though, that *elderly* and *immuno-compromised* individuals would benefit from wearing sanitary, surgical type masks yes?

So masks shouldn’t be mandated, but elderly and immuno compromised should be recommended to wear them (surgical grade) when out in public. That’s my view.

It is like a scientist publishing anything against global warming. Fire him, and fire up the paper shredder

This all adds up to one thing, obvious to me but apparently not to many others.

The mask thing is a hoax and is wrapped around the politically-correct axle. Masks are meant to be a shot over the bow to subject the populace to tyranny and get them used to it. One more step towards the Leftist dream of Worldwide Totalitarian Government. The populace is obeying just like the Tyrants wished.

Masks are politically motivated, NOT medically motivated.

... mere empty gesture politics...

It's an empty gesture designed to make people feel good. It makes them feel in control. Most of all, it makes them feel better about themselves.

And that, "We will follow the science"? It's was the lefist's sugar mixed with the poison diktat to make people feel superior to those who refuse to wear masks.

Masks have been used for over 100 years. Just because Dr Fauci says they’re bad now we go with whatever he says?

I always get a soar throat when I wear a mask. Even for just a few hours.

Second I broke my ankle requiring $20,000 worth of surgery. I attribute that accident directly to the mask mandate. Vision obstructed looking downward to the steps and slightly fogged glasses. Needless to say, it really ticked me off! 12 weeks and still not able to really walk. Did I mention I am angry? Cost me $12,000 worth of income too boot.

COVID-19: Fauci says he takes vitamin D and C supplements to reduce his 'susceptibility to infection' (9-13-20)

The multi-million dollar COVID-19 question in my non-medical mind is this. Is Big Pharma trying to win nice, big vaccine contracts with the governments to treat what may amount to a pandemic vitamin D3 deficiency, especially among artificial lighting urbanites in winter?

D3 should also help fight flu in my non-medical opinion.

Insights welcome.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.

Again, insights welcome.

These include the Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine and the American Medical Association’s journal JAMA.

All three endorsed Obamacare.

Hmmmm....

I’d encourage all FReepers who are against face diapers to read and sign the Great Barrington Declaration at:
