Hey Weak Sauce, once again...open...the...link. I know you don't want to read because it destroys your incorrect biases. Read the content. Instead of saying lalalalala this conflicts with what Lester Holt told me.

The studies are from sources like:

The CDC
BMJ Global Health

They are published on Pubmed, peer reviewed, source thousands of medical studies

The US Centre for Disease Control performed a study which showed that 85 percent of those who contracted Covid-19 during July 2020 were mask wearers. Just 3.9 percent of the study participants never wore a mask. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6938a7.htm?s_cid=mm6938a7_w

Two randomised controlled trials were included involving a total of 1453 patients.

“We found that 60 GSM face mask had particle capture efficiency of 94% for total particles greater than 0.3 microns” How big is the virus again? 0.125 microns.

That's just 9 of the studies. Feel free to keep your head in the sand, or read and learn.

I have another 40 or 50 studies on top of these 47 I can send your way. One day...you may stop being a lemming and believing in ghosts, UFOs and the bogeyman. Masks do not stop the spread of COVID aerosols.

The mask thing everyone is a little wrong about

it absolutely reduces viral load from spittle and large respiratory droplets
Basic masks may or may not defend against some aerosols… the CDC says this virus isn’t an aerosol… measles is an aerosol but its smaller than the coronavirus… this is right above the edge on what they consider an aerosol so really nobody knows

there are some fallacies when discussing mask effectiveness… first off the surgical masks are traditionally 60-40% effective in protecting against even basic viruses.. they are literally designed just to catch spittle… they aren’t respiratory protection per se

secondly homemade ones vary greatly in protection because of material, thickness, fit ect…. Bandanas only catch the largest spittle …

these masks “work” in as much as any reduction in viral load drops contagion percentages… viruses die and lose the ability to replicate when exposed to the environment over time, but the more viral load on an object thebetter the chance that some of the viruses may survive and remain active on it… plus the more there are the better the chance some contacts another person and gains entry into their system…

the professional respiratory masks may stop aerosols… the thing is they are all tested against an average sized molecule for osha purposes, but some have shown they protect against objects 10 to 20 times smaller than the 300 micron standard… 3m had some interesting science out there a while back on it

the reality is mask effectiveness or noneffectiveness is really speculative because when trying to test against real time viruses, they haven’t had a good way to determine if the virus can make it through and be viable…

typically they just run a gas molecule of a certain size through the mask and use a detector on the other side to see if it fits the 95,99 or 100% standards for respiratory protection… its really not the same

masks also don’t protect the eyes… the third largest infection site for viruses… well except full faces… and nobody is wearing those out lol

the bottom line is the masks provided a small amount of protection, but in a closed environment with no air circulating and hundreds of people, it’s probably a very low amount of protection…

to say there isn’t any benefit is absurd…. To act like wearing a mask when next to someone for hours is helping much is equally absurd…

to demand masks outside in open space is just propaganda driven dumbfuckery

Love your post. But COVID is spread via aerosol, this is commonly accepted. Not sure where you're hearing the CDC still disputes this. By late 2020, this became general consensus.

The CDC fingered Branson, Missouri, as a prime incubator and spreader of the Delta variant due to the low vaccination rates in the Ozarks. The yawn could be heard from coast to coast. Hysteria gripped the cable news world Sunday as the Delta variant death toll soared from zero to zero.

It's like a strange religious cult now. It certainly has people all twisted up mentally. It's going to take a long time to unfuck people's minds. A long time.


They're going to drag this out for as long as possible. They'll then need a replacement crisis of equal value if they want to **** with the voting system again.

Which has many eyes fixed on it right now and rightfully so.

Was talking with my daughter on the phone last night, and she was telling me that just about everybody that comes into the ER at Vidant in Greenville, NC with symptoms is testing positive for this new Delta variant. She said that they had 19 yesterday, all were admitted and all were fully vaccinated except for one. Since hospitals keep stats on this stuff for whatever reason, she also stated that those that are fully vaccinated that are either infected or re-infected, the vast majority were given the Pfizer vaccine. She stated very few were given Moderna or J&J. So the Pfizer vaccine seems to be wilting under Delta Variant. Great. I vaxxed with Pfizer.

She told me it's getting pretty bad in Pitt County right now, and with college re-starting in person learning in August, I don't see it getting any better. They are talking about putting restrictions back in place, and I think it is only a matter of time until we go back about a year to that ****. Be safe out there guys.
 
Last night I checked the news feed on my phone. (I rarely do this as I think about 95% of the canned news out there is complete bullshit.) There were 33 different stories on my phone at the national level. 29 of them were 'Rona and "anti-vaxxer" related. 4 were "other news".

Agenda much?
 
And seriously... while lawmakers (and I say that with such a degree of disdain you can't imagine it...) are busy focusing on how we can "keep everyone safe" from apparently the ******* air on planet Earth while utterly and doggedly ignoring the fact that people attached to our government are dragging a great big ole money trail right back to the ******* lab that PURPOSEFULLY CREATED A CONTAGIOUS VARIANT of the 'Rona.

This was done ON PURPOSE. Why the **** aren't we going after the fucktards who made the ******* thing and then "accidentally" released it?

Add to that the estimated 1.8 million "undocumented immigrants" that will flow through our southern border this year, unvetted and unvaccinated.

They vote Democrat, therefore we will welcome them with open arms and consider their Rona a blessing. Raggedy Ann, the White House, and the mainstream media will not discuss the rising cases at the border, the 900% increases in COVID captured there, nor the impact it has on the spread in this country.

We shall focus on Sturgis. And Trump rallies. THOSE....those damnit...are the cause of Rona spread.

Harvard Medical School Professor Martin Kulldorff:



Others would say that deaths are a “lagging indicator” that come in several weeks after the increased spread of the disease. But the Delta variant has been spreading in the US for months now, and deaths have remained relatively flat.

“It is striking that COVID mortality is at such low levels despite the fact that we are seeing an increase in cases of late,” says Stanford Professor of Medicine Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. “By immunizing the elderly and many other vulnerable people, we have provided them with excellent protection against severe disease in case they get infected. Also contributing is widespread natural immunity from recovered COVID patients. Though cases may rise, deaths will no longer follow in proportion. We have effectively defanged the disease with our successful vaccination rollout.”

“‘Emergencies’ have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have eroded,” as Nobel-Prize-winning economist Freidrich Hayek put it. “And once they are suspended it is not difficult for anyone who has assumed emergency powers to see to it that the emergency will persist.”

Examples of this timeless truth abound throughout history up until present day: from the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II to the now-permanent infringements on our civil liberties after 9/11 to the sweeping expansion of government control during the COVID-19 pandemic.

But, whether politicians like it or not, the COVID-19 crisis is largely over.

Thank you doctors.
 



Mask mandates for D.C.? Was just looking at the daily hospitalization/death data for D.C. and there's not even a smidge of reason for doing this. Especially when masks have been shown time and time again that they don't really work. This country is just getting more totalitarian by the day. Scary.
