The diapers most of us are wearing on our face most of the time apparently have no effect at stopping Covid-19. This explains a lot. Did you hear about the peer-reviewed study done by Stanford University that demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt that face masks have absolutely zero chance of preventing the spread of Covid-19? No? It was posted on the the National Center for Biological Information government website. The NCBI is a branch of the National Institute for Health, so one would think such a study would be widely reported by mainstream media and embraced by the “science-loving” folks in Big Tech.

But, but, but....the manufacturers/distributors of face masks have not made enough profit yet.

I read part of this report last night. I've also bookmarked it. What people are doing by forcing others to wear these things is criminal.

I tell the mask Nazis about building my chain link fence for mosquito control. When they tell me how dumb that is I try to explain the analogy of the mask to a virus that has a 99% survivability rate. Typically I get the stuttering "follow the science" screed and I simply and calmly say I am. This only infuriates them further and I just smile and tell them to look it up as opposed to listening to the propaganda.

"worthless" means "of no value". The study repeatedly point out that facemasks are of greatly NEGATIVE value, both physiologically and psychologically.
I would submit that masks are.sociologically damaging also. This morning, a mask nazi behind the counter at Mickey d's tried to force a very large and obstreperous customer to wear a.mask. it didn't work and nearly descended into violence.

Fauci is recommending three masks .I'm recommending that Fauci wear six or more masks to shut him up and put an end to his too many TV appearances with faulty advice.

Sorry but the article is a review with a stated hypothesis NOT a study. While I believe the hypothesis to be true, this article does not stand alone as proof of anything. The debate will continue.

But it is a Stanford study and report and we know Leland Stanford was a dirty, rotten racist back in the 19th Century so it cannot be reliable. When are the progressives going to demand "The Farm" be razed?

I have been resisting the urge to buy a small jock strap and wear it upside down on my face in public to use as my 'mask'. News like this article makes resisting more difficult by the day......

#7, they researched the hypothesis and came to a Conclusion.
I've stated from the beginning, the numbers will likely be startling to most once they realize few overall died, and those who did, had underlying conditions and were over 70 years old.
Truth should be the determining factor not some political calculation to keep people from knowing what is happening. Most people have common sense and can reason.
Remember, the world recovered from the Spanish Flu which had many more deaths. The world will recover from this one too.

The masks prevent my cell and lap from logging me on with facial recognition. They make it difficult to breathe. I know they are useless. They know they are useless. But I'm not going to risk being publicly flogged by Do Gooders.

I am no face nazi, and completely support Cortes' general conclusion: face masks don't prevent spread of CV19.
However, his logic is a bit fuzzy, in that virus particles typically don't travel as free-floating individual cells, but as suspended articles in airborne droplets and aerosols. Therefore, the question about the efficiency of a mask in this case is not so much one of the relative size of the virus cells themselves to the pore sizes of a mask, but rather the relative size of the airborne droplets that are transporting the virus, plus any differential static-electrical attraction of those droplets to the mask fibers.
The problem is, as they say, a bit of a sticky wicket.

Think I’ll print this out and carry it with me. If a mask Nazi comes after me (hasn’t happened yet) I’ll just hand it over and say, “Read this”.

The Government, NIH, CDC etc. all knew that the medical masks did not prevent the Covid-19 virus from entering through the holes in the masks canvas. So why do they insist on us wearing masks? Could it be controlling the herd not getting herd immunity. It's enough to begin to not trusting the Government.

Masks are magical tokens like lucky rabbit feet and about as effective.

The report points out a long list of adverse physiological and psychological effects of masks, and they state in their 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."
I wear a mask perhaps ten to twenty minutes a week, most days, not at all. The longest periods are perhaps 15 minutes in a store during a quick shopping trip. I have never believed them to be useful in any way, other than to minimize harassment by the Karens.

Don't you know masks are about "the science?" It's true. Political Science.

I can personally attest to the affect of even short term wear causing hypoxemia - low oxygen - and the effect it had on my heart arrhythmia. The last thing I (or anyone) needs is anything that inhibits oxygen uptake. I've had the screeners at medical facilities tell me to pull my mask up over my nose, and I somewhat politely, but very firmly tell them No, it knocks my heart out of rhythm, which was why I was at my cardiologist's office in the first place.

I worry that billions won't recover from their "vaccine" more than I worry about the damned harmful, useless masks.

Why is the word 'quietly' in this headline? Publication is always quiet.

DVC expresses my position very well! If vaccines don't stop the virus, what the heck are they for?
