Cloth masks do little to prevent the spread of COVID-19, or other airborne diseases, a new study finds. Researchers from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom found that 90 percent of particles could get through cloth masks, making them effectively useless during the pandemic.(Snip)Now, though, experts have discovered that these masks were doing little if anything to actually stop the spread of the virus, and likely contributed to spread as people who believed they were acting safely were not doing so. Researchers, who published their findings Tuesday in Physics of Fluids, built an airflow simulation using 3d imaging to gauge how well different masks

The wearing of the mask is the visual symbol of the covidians. A fear based religious sect of true believers.

Everybody knew masks were worthless the minute the CDC started forcing their use. If the government is making you do something, it's wrong, it's evil, it's dangerous Mask Nazis should face the ultimate sanction. Never forget.

Not so of all who wear masks, #1.
There are some who must wear masks because of compromised immune systems due to cancer and other illnesses. People in that category were wearing masks well before Covid. It is unfortunate that any have to suffer for doing what preserving their health demands, whether wearing a mask or refusing a vaccine.

I think masks were intended to be a psychological crutch. In order for people unreasonably terrified by our media to at least be able to perform basic stuff like buy groceries.
Really. That's what they were.

I have to wear a mask at work sometimes to filter out fertilizer dust. The mask is an N99. I had to be test fitted by a health professional to get the proper size and learn to wear it correctly. The test involved using a device which measured the vacuum pulled when I inhaled and the positive pressure when I exhaled. This guaranteed no leakage around the mask and that all air was filtered. It is much harder to breathe through a mask that actually works. If you can breathe normally, the mask is not doing anything.

From Quora.com
https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-size-of-the-Covid-19-virus?share=1
“The size of covid 19 is about 125nm (0.125 microns).”
From SafetyandHealthMagazine.com
https://www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com/articles/20459-osha-updates-faqs-to-address-particle-sizes-and-n95s
“The “N95” classification means respirator filters remove at least 95% of “very small” particles (around 0.3 microns in diameter) from the air.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My comment is that despite all good intentions, masks are not capable of stopping a virus due to the physical size of the virus and filtration capability of a mask, especially an N95 mask.

This is info that presented by Fauci and people who should know back in Feb. 2020. Fauci changed his mind almost the next day after being pressured by the power elites in D.C., and off they went with the mask BS.

Why did it take 2 years to figure this out? Anyone with a microscope could have told people that.

If Covid were a Bacteria masks might have some effect, but Covid is a virus which is about 1% the size of a Bacteria, very small much smaller than any dust or anything you can relate to.
Another thing, I see a lot of anti-Bacterial things being used, again Covid is not a Bacteria.

Anyone with a brain knew this from day one. Just a modicum of research proved the ineffectiveness of the Kabuki. How best to identify infidels to the State.

As I would tell the sheep, go home and light a small fire. If you smell smoke, it is not working

The burning question is why they waited TWO YEARS to study this.

Well, gee, how hard is this ----here's the science of how they work.
Cloth masks keep out viruses in the exact same way that a chain link fence keeps our mosquitoes.

I have to disagree with you #4. There are still people that wear them and get mad and argue if you tell them they don't work. A lot of people jut believe anything that comes down the pike. I see a lot of elderly people still wearing them and I feel like telling them that it is bad for their health but I know it will just stir up an argument or bad feelings, so I don't.

Masks never should have been forced on us. If your mask works, I don't need to wear one. Kids never needed them given the data about kids and covid. Forcing people to wear masks created ill feelings. Maintaining it for two years intensified those feelings. You want to wear a mask now, be prepared to reap those feelings.
Including from me.

To force us into the next step…P95 masks. I have a dear friend who is immunocompromised and still wears a mask everywhere in public. Out of courtesy, I ask if she wants me to wear a mask around her, but she says no.

If you didn't know they didn't work and wore them, they were an amulet. If you knew they didn't work and still wore them, you were showing your Faucism.

Masks were effective beyond the government's wildest dreams insofar as they served as de facto burkas, allowing the wearer to demonstrate full fealty to The Science and greasing the skids for later accepting the dangerous and ineffective fraud shots.
