Facemasks in the COVID-19 era: A health hypothesis
Baruch Vainshelboim⁎

Abstract
Many countries across the globe utilized medical and non-medical facemasks as non-pharmaceutical intervention for reducing the transmission and infectivity of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Although, scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established. Is has been hypothesized that facemasks have compromised safety and efficacy profile and should be avoided from use. The current article comprehensively summarizes scientific evidences with respect to wearing facemasks in the COVID-19 era, providing prosper information for public health and decisions making. ...

Conclusion
The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize prosper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.

In Mexico City right now and often a majority of people walking down the street are masked. Can't go into any museum without them.

They generally didn't enforce it the two times I went, but that was Cancun area. Probably to not hurt tourism. I've never gotten sick in Mexico and I usually forget to use the bottled water when brushing my teeth. Otherwise it's mimosa or beer. I do not trust their water supply though some hotels/resorts have their own filtration. Mexico City is obviously a different trip, but I'm betting you're getting some great authentic Mexican food. I want a taco now...

Tangent aside, masks obviously don't do shit or covid would have ceased to exist and our own medial god Fauci said they didn't work.

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

We propose that immunocompromised people should avoid repeated use of masks to prevent microbial infection.

The study has reinforced the well known fact that masks limit people spitting on each other.

More Cities Vote Not to Enforce LA County’s Mask Mandate Proposal

With a decision expected tomorrow on whether Los Angeles County will re-impose an indoor mask mandate due to COVID-19, officials from several cities said they will not enforce such a rule if it is implemented.


Paywall.

There is no indoor mask mandate.

The scum saw that people were buying tar from Home Depot and feather pillows online.

If you are wondering about the DOJ case fighting for the CDC to be able to impose mask mandates on flights....well...the science has changed (the political science).

Since the DOJ filed the case on June 1 and hasn't done shit since then, the "emergency" powers kinda lost their importance.

Wow, Canadians are disobeying the stupid and dehumanizing mask mandate, which they still have in place.

Study finds plastics found in masks present in patients’ lungs

Microplastic fibres were found deep in the lower lungs of living human beings in almost every person sampled in a recent UK study.

The study from Great Britain discovered microplastic particles — present in many COVID-19 masks — in the lung tissue of 11 out of 13 patients undergoing surgery.

Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were the most prevalent substances present in the lungs.

The microscopic plastic fragments and fibres were discovered by scientists at Hull York Medical School in the UK. Some of the filaments were two millimetres long in patients undergoing surgery whose lung tissue they sampled.

The plastic dust and microscopic debris comprises the same plastics used to manufacture the ubiquitous surgical masks worn by hundreds of millions of people around the world as mandated by governments in an attempt to halt the spread of COVID-19.

CANADA - Trudeau arrives in Costa Rica by private plane and without a mask. The Covid Climate change theatre doesn’t affect the leading actors, just the audience.

Video has emerged of dirtbag Trudeau and his family getting off a private airforce jet not wearing any masks. The entitlement of Trudeau and his family is un-fuckung-real. Meanwhile, moms in Canada are thrown off planes because their kid won't mask up.

I think it's pretty obvious that masks don't work, and it's been obvious for a long time.

I almost think we've REALLY been put through an obedience test, but there's a plus to this, I think people are less willing to be obedient the next time around. I believe many people are realizing they were bamboozled.

Where's the paper?

Go find the paper, and do a text search for "mask".

We now know that masks do contribute to disease for the wearer now, but there was no conclusion drawn that I can find where that was the conclusion of the 1917 flu epidemic. It's true that bacterial pneumonia was thought to be the main killer of that pandemic, but there's no published work I can find that associates it with masks.

The "Spanish flu" was thought to have caused serious damage to the bronchial system, and as a result made people much more susceptible to bacterial infection.

Probably masks DID contribute to the deaths, but I can't find a published paper that investigates that.

Don't forget the mask!

These images are from the so-called Spanish Flu days (1918). People then were against compulsion, just as today.

The difference today is that we know the public health officials should know better.

Certainly one of my favorites.

Russian blogger (google-translated):

Rospotrebnadzor recommends returning the mask regime in public places in regions where more than 50 people per 100,000 get sick per week

50 cases per 100 thousand is 0.05 percent. Despite the fact that the epidemic threat occurs when there are 5 percent of the sick of the population. Roskomnadzor does not explain the difference by two orders of magnitude. Such measures are not provided for in any regulatory documents, as they are absolutely absurd.
