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.

Unbelievable what they did to children. I am so lucky that my children were already graduated and out of school and my grandkids are too young to start school. I'm afraid of how I might have handled all this masking shit.

@Eric_Schmitt
Another tidbit from Fauci depo: In Feb ‘20 he emailed a friend advising her masks were ineffective. Confirmed again on Mar 31. On Apr 3 he’s adamant masks should be worn even though he couldn’t cite a single study to prove it. Mandates followed—Lives ruined

COVID tyranny is born

Fauci Knew Masking Was ‘Ineffective’ While Pushing Mask Mandates, Deposition Reveals

@Patrick

Are you on Twitter? You and 2 other sites I follow daily, are really carrying the torch on the plandemic. Is twitter allowing all manner of covid hoax talk?
680   Patrick   2022 Dec 4, 11:36am  

@GNL I just created a new account there since my old one was suspended without explanation. New account:

https://twitter.com/patrick_dot_net?ref_src=patrick.net

I was just thinking I should also post my daily memes there.

Advice on how to best use the new Twitter appreciated.
681   GNL   2022 Dec 4, 11:40am  

Your daily memes are a great first start imo. My fear is that not enough people will connect the plandemic to the NWO/Great Reset in time to stop it. Huge huge turning point in worldwide history. Only one other event/point in history has been bigger (imo)...Christianity.
682   GNL   2022 Dec 4, 11:42am  

What's to stop these psychopaths from creating a bio weapon they have a vax for that only the elite has access to? They truly could control the world imo.
683   GNL   2022 Dec 4, 11:44am  

I love your memes, Patrick. And I love you my brother. And that ain't meant in gay way.
684   Patrick   2022 Dec 4, 12:16pm  

Thanks @GNL

I'm glad you like them. I put a lot of work into them.

Crazy, anti-science masking
There is no justification for wearing an n95 in the pouring rain or a 200 degree sauna: Something is seriously wrong with many people's thinking



Some people replied that I didn’t know his medical status. Are they stupid? There is no physical or medical status that would justify wearing an n95 mask in 200 degrees when you are dripping in sweat! Let’s me be clear: It is dangerous to wear an n95 in a sauna, and the n95 was not developed for 200 degree temperatures. After basting in your own sweat for 20 mins, the n95 mask is failing to perform its duty. There is no scenario on earth where this would be a good idea. If you get hot or dizzy, it is dangerous to have strapped to your head. I tried not to engage with the people commenting in my thread that there might be some justification for masking in 200 degrees— because I had exhausted my patience for stupidity.

There is something seriously wrong. This is not about individuals making individual choices. These people are doing things that are absolutely crazy.

N95 masks are not meant for saunas; In fact it would be dangerous and unsafe to wear one inside

They are not meant for outdoors (COVID does not spread outside)

They are not meant for pouring rain (they don’t work when soaking wet)

N95s don’t work if you hold them in your hand

These are not controversial points. They are indisputable. It is insane that people are doing these things, especially after 3-5 vaccine doses, and even worse that someone would actually defend these practices as rational personal choices. If someone slaughters a goat to treat cancer, we have to agree that it would be ineffective. We shouldn’t act like it is a rational choice.

People have become mask zealots because they were repeatedly lied to about the efficacy of masking. Those lies became more palatable when Donald Trump refused to mask— thus the lies paired with a sense of morality and superiority where Donald Trump represented both moral weakness and stupidity.

More than 170 Comparative Studies and Articles on Mask Ineffectiveness and Harms

I present the masking ‘body of evidence’ below (n=167 studies and pieces of evidence), comprised of comparative effectiveness research as well as related evidence and high-level reporting. To date, the evidence has been stable and clear that masks do not work to control the virus and they can be harmful and especially to children.

It's Time to Wear a Mask Again, Health Experts Say
692   Patrick   2022 Dec 14, 3:56pm  

https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/the-masquerade-will-always-be-with


the masquerade will always be with us
and preventing the spread of this mind virus requires standing up to it



... the data for inefficacy is utterly overwhelming (read HERE for summary) for masks (n95 or otherwise) and yet some subset of society appears irretrievably attached to this halloween hilarity of cosplay “caretaking.”

in 2019, everyone, every expert, every agency knew this. the WHO published a large metastudy on it. this was not even really argued anymore.

it is now a clear addiction in every sense of the word.

the people promulgating it are addicts looking for a mask fix. acceding to them is like having “just a couple drinks” with your alcoholic friend to “help them feel more comfortable.” it is neither aid nor alliance, it’s complicity in self-harm.

masks feel like “safety” to these people in the same manner that submission to authority does. they were likely always somewhat anxious and frightened and agoraphobic and 3 years of being literally terrorized by an abusive relationship with public health has made it far, far worse.

and like so many in abusive relationships, they have become attached to and dependent upon their abusers.

and that can get really, really ugly.

and part of how one helps such people is to assist them in the realization that the abuser is, in fact, abusive and is playing the predator, not the protector.

and to help them see that everything these people say is a lie. ...

seriously, try to find ANY of them promoting masks in 2019 or earlier. i’ll wait. ...

the “science” did not change. it became FAR more clear.

only these people changed. and they did not do it out of concern for you.

the effects for which this was adopted were not about a virus, they were about psychology.

masks create a sense of crisis because they impede human empathy and mirroring which feels alienating and they provide a plain proof, everywhere you look that “things are not normal.” and the more you wear one, the more you must tell yourself that there must be a great crisis ongoing for why else would you be doing this? why would everyone be doing this? the combination of behavioral and herd conditioning is very powerful. it becomes a sort of downspiral and many cannot escape it.

medical professionals and visitors are still being forced to mask in offices and hospitals all over the world. this is a complete nonsense, but it “feels” like doing something and keeps the ideas of “masks are real medical gear” alive.

but did you ever see a doctor (apart from a dentist seeking a splatter guard) do this in their office before 2020?

this whole “doctors wear masks in surgery = proof masks work as source control” argument has been bunk since day one. first off, you’re talking about a highly controlled environment with trained users in fitted masks for short periods. trying to compare that to “3rd grade” is an absurdity. but secondly, the real kicker is this: even then, it doesn’t work.

it’s been studied.



...

ridicule is powerful weapon against such people as is evidence of hypocrisy. every video of one of these folks putting on mask right before the camera rolls and taking it off the instant it stops, flouting their own rules, and admitting they always knew this was ineffective helps.

spread them. let people’s own words and actions indict them.

i have real doubts that there are many who can, at this stage, be convinced by data anymore.

Having finally gotten it (officially) a couple weeks back, it's a huge, massive, bigly nothing burger. It's not putting you 6' under unless you're already 5' when you get it. I'm slightly overweight and not a bastion of health. I'd give myself a solid B health grade wise. It was 2 days kind of a wreck, but really not all that bad. Overall 3 days of feeling off.

I don't comprehend why I'd need to be vaccinated against it. It's not a disease that kills you, but one that makes you succumb to your other diseases. Push you over the edge so to speak. My solo Covid infection essentially was a joke in hindsight. If no one told me Covid existed I'd have thought I had a cold. That was my experience.

N95 MASKS WERE DESIGNED TO STOP DUST, NOT VIRUSES, SAYS HARVEY RISCH, MD, PHD

https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/no-studies-showing-masks-work-that-well-against-covid-19-white-house-health-official_4942418.html?utm_source=share-btn-copylink


No studies show masks work well against respiratory infections like COVID-19, a top White House health official has acknowledged.

“There is no study in the world that shows that masks work that well,” Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House’s COVID-19 coordinator, said during a recent discussion with the Philadelphia Inquirer. ...

Jha’s admission is unusual for him as he frequently advised people to wear masks during the pandemic and hyped their effectiveness. ...

Jha has made a number of unsupported or false statements since assuming the White House position, including falsely claiming that none of the COVID-19 vaccines have serious side effects.

Experts around the world, including other U.S. government officials, have said since 2021 that there are serious side effects from the vaccines, including heart inflammation. ...

The only randomized, controlled trials on masks against COVID-19 showed little to no benefit in wearing them. Based on the results, it is “astonishing that some public health officials still impose mask mandates,” Martin Kulldorff, a senior scholar at the Brownstone Institute, recently wrote on Twitter.

President Joe Biden’s administration is fighting to have a mask mandate for airplanes and airports reinstated, and has also kept in place vaccine mandates for various sectors. The mask mandate and most of the vaccine mandates have been struck down or otherwise blocked by courts.
