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.

Informally “breaking news” around January, 2020 here but fresh news to the rest of the country in 2023, apparently.

That’s going to be a tough pill to swallow for the people still wearing a mask, in their car alone.

Wearing a face mask for Covid is like putting a chain link fence around your yard to keep mosquitoes out.

How many times does this result have to be replicated?

As seen on a sign somewhere: They said a mask and gloves was enough for the grocery store. They lied. Everyone else was wearing clothes.

“That’s going to be a tough pill to swallow for the people still wearing a mask, in their car alone.”

It’s a rabbit’s foot; a magic token to protect you from evil spirts...or whatever you need it to do. It’s something people can do vs not being able to do anything effective to protect yourself. I often see people, even nurses or doctors who are wearing the mask on their chin or below their nose. Obviously, it isn’t to protect from getting a virus. It’s just being worn for its magical properties.

My hearing doctor was wearing two masks, both just ordinary cloth. But obviously two doubled their protective value. (What is two times zero?)

And most doctor’s offices still make you wear one. Stupid.

My dentist has a sign on his door to wear a mask as his office building requires it. He did not wear a mask the times I was there during the illegal lockdown.
He is a dentist, drills teeth, patient cannot wear a mask.....!! Common sense disappeared for many.

For the most part, those studies that showed they did weren’t done on actual people, and weren’t done as random trials.

I’m sure that in certain situations masks help...but not generally, by people that don’t know how to wear them, don’t know how to put them on, and who wear them too long. Even hospital workers don’t generally wear masks in the manner in which the mandates required.

It’s more like putting a mesh fence along half of one side of your yard.

And even if the masks were to theoretically stop viruses from going through them, they’ve contaminated the inside.

Masks served that same purpose as NAZI armbands in WW2. They instantly identified the “good people” and “the other”

I listened to an interview with Dr. Scott Atlas. He says there is a lot of brain damage in Palo Alto, CA with many people still wearing masks even outdoors.

They still will wear their magical masks. The brainwashing was too strong for their puny minds.

My ophthalmologist did NOT want patients to wear masks. He saw a big uptick in eye infections after the mask craze started. People were breathing out and the junk collected in the masks would waft up into the eyes.
