Are Face Masks Effective? The Evidence

There is increasing evidence that the novel coronavirus is transmitted, at least in indoor settings, not only by droplets but also by smaller aerosols. However, due to their large pore size and poor fit, cloth masks cannot filter out aerosols (see video analysis below): over 90% of aerosols penetrate or bypass the mask and fill a medium-sized room within minutes.
The WHO admitted to the BBC that its June 2020 mask policy update was due not to new evidence but “political lobbying”: “We had been told by various sources WHO committee reviewing the evidence had not backed masks but they recommended them due to political lobbying. This point was put to WHO who did not deny.” (D. Cohen, BBC Medical Corresponent).
To date, the only randomized controlled trial (RCT) on face masks against SARS-CoV-2 infection in a community setting found no statistically significant benefit (see above). However, three major journals refused to publish this study, delaying its publication by several months.
An analysis by the US CDC found that 85% of people infected with the new coronavirus reported wearing a mask “always” (70.6%) or “often” (14.4%). Compared to the control group of uninfected people, always wearing a mask did not reduce the risk of infection.
Researchers from the University of Minnesota found that the infectious dose of SARS-CoV-2 is just 300 virions (viral particles), whereas a single minute of normal speaking may generate more than 750,000 virions, making cloth face masks unlikely to prevent an infection.
Japan, despite its widespread use of face masks, experienced its most recent influenza epidemic with more than 5 million people falling ill just one year ago, in January and February 2019. However, unlike SARS-CoV-2, the influenza virus is easily transmitted by children, too.
Austrian scientists found that the introduction, retraction and re-introduction of a face mask mandate in Austria had no influence on the coronavirus infection rate.
In the US state of Kansas, the 90 counties without mask mandates had lower coronavirus infection rates than the 15 counties with mask mandates. To hide this fact, the Kansas health department tried to manipulate the official statistics and data presentation.
Contrary to common belief, studies in hospitals found that the wearing of a medical mask by surgeons during operations didn’t reduce post-operative bacterial wound infections in patients.
During the notorious 1918 influenza pandemic, the use of cloth face masks among the general population was widespread and in some places mandatory, but they made no difference.
Asian countries with low covid infection rates, most of them neighboring China, benefited not from face masks but mainly from early border closures. This is confirmed by Scandinavian countries Norway, Finland and Denmark, which didn’t introduce mask mandates but closed borders early and saw very low covid infection and death rates, too.
German scientists found that in and on N95 (FFP2) masks, the novel coronavirus remains infectious for several days, much longer than on most other materials, thus significantly increasing the risk of infection by touching or reusing such masks.

When people start dying from the "vaccine" in large numbers,

It will be blamed on the Gamma variant.

That's why it is important for as many of us as possible to remain in the unjabbed control group.

The key issue here is that the "vaccine" does nothing at all to prevent the spread of Fauci-flu, and probably lowers life expectancy a lot.


Same with masks. The simple truth is that there is a whole host of preventative and therapeutic medications and dietary supplements that are more effective than masks or vakseens. But we can’t talk about those because they are effective, safe and inexpensive (off patent).

Current California rules (constantly changing) for High School students state that proof of vaccination to be submitted to school office. If unvaccinated, students, teachers, and staff, must wear a mask.


Do I have to post instructions on how to fake the card yet again???

It turns out that California is keeping track of jabs by the cell phone number you give them when they stick you.

Next flu season when those primed by the jab get exposed to the CCP virus in the wild they die in a cytokine storm.

That's one theory.

When Fauci said masks don't work, did all the medical experts agree with him?

And then when he said that masks do work, did all the medical experts agree with him again?

Lol. The fart thing is hysterical but could actually change people's minds. Theoretically you're double masked on your ass. Yet when you fart everyone can smell it. And usually you're wearing something substantially thicker as far as shorts or pants, plus the undies/briefs/boxers.

Ask a masker next time if they'd like if you farted. If the answer is no, then tell them to think about it and walk away. I think most people with some logic would get their minds blown. I'm anti-mask from the beginning. I might print this out as a pocket card. Though masks are mostly done here in IL and there are almost no Karen's anymore. Haven't been to Chicago (airport aside) in over a year now. Weird. Probably won't until they lift everything.

I went to grab some coffee this morning, there was this retard standing alone in a mask like 20ft away from the door. I asked him if he was in line or something. He said "yes," and i told him "not from out there you're not." Then proceeded to go inside and order before him. Treat them like the retards they are.

From Fauci himself, before these ghouls decided to completely re-purpose the crisis and throw out a hundred years worth of medical science.

Didn't watch, but masks also don't protect against something smaller than the filter either. HVAC guys know more about this "science" than these fuckers. Or it's all just a mirage. Bull shit.

This study was Published: 20 November 2020. They have known all along.
The only justification for the lockdowns was that there were hoards of people that were "sick" and didn't know it.

I think he's right. The goal is ID2020. Routine, forced vaccinations is a bonus for these demons. They can put whatever they want into the schedule.

If they want to test out their latest transhumanist bio-sludge on an ignorant, unsuspecting population, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. If they want to inflict sterility or high amounts of untreatable cancers, just dope a few batches. Nobody will question it because there's a time lag before any symptoms arise, no control group, and the legacy media puppeteers will tell the brainwashed masses that there's no correlation and to stop talking about it otherwise they'll lose their shopping privilege for the next month. This is easily done as they can just disable your ID. The move to cashless society will quickly follow. Access to your bank account can easily be disabled if your social credit score drops below a certain threshold.

The ID will be linked to your online account. There will be no anonymous online transactions if you are using "their" Internet. All posts can be traced to you, as can all purchases. Big brother is watching.

DOD Has issued guidance instructing all personnel to wear a facial covering in federal facilities. Effective Thursday,29 July, all affiliates must wear a facial covering while in agency facilities across the enterprise regardless of vaccination status.
164   SumatraBosch   2021 Jul 28, 5:46pm  

No, which is why healthy women breath through my penis.

The deaths of this cohort are exactly 0, meaning 100 percent of SB-breathing chicks have avoided infection.

There is no other preventative therapy with close to this towering record of achievement.

Blow me, America!

And live!

I’m a liberal who thinks the return of mask mandates is dumb
Not only do we exist, there are lots of us

July 30, 2021 | 8:16 am

Once we were vaccinated, they told us, we were free to move about the country, as the Southwest ad says. Now, suddenly, they’re rolling back that freedom, however incrementally. I think it’s wrong to place restrictions on people for a disease for which they almost certainly don’t have, are vaccinated for and have a 99.8 percent or higher chance of surviving even if they do get it. ...

The whole episode was weird and disheartening. I consider myself a liberal. ...

Our rulers promised us a return to ‘normal life’ and normal life seemed to be slowly returning.

Now, suddenly, the powers-that-be are starting to dial it back, and I’m concerned that they’re preparing to lower the lockdown hammer again. Masks feel to me like the gateway drug, so ‘I’m vaccinated and I shouldn’t have to wear a mask’ seems like a reasonable position to take. That’s not exactly ‘Comet Ping-Pong’, ‘Sandy Hook Was A Hoax’ or ‘Bush Did 9/11’ territory. And it’s certainly not ‘vaccines don’t work’, because they obviously do.

Since my dumb little Facebook post, I’ve received several hushed, whispered messages from people ‘like me’ who agree but said they are afraid to speak out because someone will report them. But they shouldn’t be afraid.

There has to be room for those who are slightly left-of-center to criticize COVID policy. I don’t want to make anyone sick. I just want consistent guidance and the ability to live freely and make my own choices. Somewhere along the line, liberals forgot that was something to value.
