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.

from the people who brought you: “masks so efficacious they caused a drop in covid in the unmasked states next door”

it’s covid shenanigans part 2:

“a vaccine so good, it makes omicron mild, even in the unvaccinated!”

the year was 2009. a kinder time. a gentler time. a time when “slate magazine” still knew that masks do not stop SARS or swine flu because the virions are too small and too aerosolozied.




there is still not a single, valid, clinical outcomes RCT that supports masking to stop covid.

there are literally dozens that show inefficacy.

the science here could not be more clear.

there is no data that can convince people who do not care about data and choose to clutch talismans instead so they can feel like they are “doing something.”

this is just the low energy path to profess tribal allegiance and signal virtue.




it will only stop when you make it stop.

disobey.

CEOs of two major airlines question the need for mask mandates
They are absolutely right. Is anyone listening?

and they are STILL selling this bill of shoddy goods for one more turn in the limelight. this is the final, grasping desperation of the narrative slipping away. they lost the center because the data become too obvious and the lies too many and too outlandish to support.

masks = fear.

masks = alienation.

masks = signs of submission and that everything is NOT normal.

wearing masks promotes a crisis mentality.

it’s why the panic pushers love them.

sure, the 20% that genuinely adore this and uncritically consume all input from their team will stay onside, but that’s not where the fight is.

the fight is in the center.

that’s what tips. that’s where norms come from. and they are waking up wholesale to the hallucinatory health policy they’ve been tripping on.

Ignoring. CA peeps are catching up with the rest of the country. No one wears masks at much more than 10% if that. Unless you're in a liberal city.

That looks badly photoshopped. There are plenty of examples of real mask hypocrisy by Biden and others that a fake one is not needed. This type of manipulated photo just gives ammo for the lefties to call all examples of maskless Dems as fake.

A video went viral over Christmas weekend that showed a woman berating an older man on a flight for not wearing a mask while she also had her mask pulled down.

In the video, which has been viewed millions of times, the man, who was seated, tells the woman, who was standing over him, that the reason that his mask was down was because he was eating.

“Stand your a*s up!” the woman yelled. “Stand your a*s up!”

“Sit down, Karen!” the man fired back. “You’re a g*****n, Karen. Sit down!”

After several more moments of an intense back-and-forth between the man and the woman, the flight crew got involved and tried to break up the situation before she struck the man in the face with her hand.

“No you’re going to jail,” the man yelled. “That’s assault. You’re going to jail. As soon as we get to Atlanta, you’re going to jail.”

“Karen!” the man yelled.

The woman then appeared to spit in the man’s face.

“Now you spit on me, now you’re double going to jail,” the man fired back.

“You f***ing piece of s**t,” the woman yelled.

“Put your f***ing mask on!” the woman yelled as she was not wearing a mask. “Put your f***ing mask on!”

Amen. Have a 4 hour flight to Jamaica in a couple weeks. Big (tall) guy in a little seat and masking is miserable. No beer either. Absolutely love travel, but this Covid shit has been awful. What about drinking a beer on a plane spreads covid?

Just any day now, they will put up biohazard containers where people will be able to properly dispose of their masks.

And it's getting worse:

https://notthebee.com/article/los-angeles-schools-will-no-longer-require-cloth-masks-because-they-are-requiring-n95s-instead?source=patrick.net

It's true. They are going to require N-95 because the cloth and surgical masks were slipping below the kids' noses, allowing them to breathe.

I saw a whole family walking around the marina today. Mother, father, three kids, the youngest probably about 4 years old; all were masked. Omicron fear, I suppose.

There's no medical reason for people who have recently gotten over Covid to wear a mask.

Doctor's advice just do it anyways. "It's a small thing".

Sure ... I have faith in the medical establishment.
