New Evidence Shows Wearing Face Mask Can Help Coronavirus Enter the Brain and Pose More Health Risk
The Science Times ^ | 05/18/20

Are Face Masks Effective Against COVID-19?

The Cleveland Clinic says that gloves do not provide immunity from viruses, and it doesn't permit you to touch everything within reach. Furthermore, germs that come in contact with your gloves could be transferred to all the other surfaces you touch. 

Now, even face masks face the same critique as Dr. Blaylock says that exhaled viruses would not be given a chance to escape if wearing a mask. He says that the virus would further concentrate and circulate within the nasal passages and could eventually travel into the brain. 

According to Dr. Blaylock, there have been no studies conducted to establish that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has an impact on the transmission of the coronavirus. It was not until recently that the Commission on Disease Control and Prevention changed its guidelines for wearing face masks. 

 Previously, they only advised sick people to wear protective masks, but now they encourage everyone to wear them when out in public since it has been found out that some could be asymptomatic carriers of the virus. The CDC also has guidelines for wearing cloth masks to slow the spread of the coronavirus. 
 
Newer evidence also reveals that the coronavirus may enter the brain in some cases. By wearing a mask, viruses released upon expiration will not be given a chance to escape and will further congregate in the nasal passages. This allows the virus to enter the olfactory nerves and travel further, eventually reaching the brain.

Dr. Blaylock says that one should not attack or criticize healthy people who do not wear masks, as studies point out that it may be a wise choice after all.

That explains a lot.

A self-resolving problem. Go for it, MaskBros.

Masks are the new hijab/burqa. And men are equally submissive.

Who in their right mind would wear a mask to a beach?

You mean thwarting our bodies natural response to sneeze and cough away dangerous pathogens might be counterproductive? Who’d a thunk it?

If I remember correctly, early on...Fauci wasn’t too fond of the idea of wearing masks.

Sounds like junk science. If you have the virus in your breath, it’s already in your blood stream and, last time I checked, blood goes to your brain, too.

I think the mask thing is stupid, other than when you’re sick/coughing to keep your sneeze spray and lung butter off of things other people touch. (gross even if not infectious)

But I have yet to hear of any cases, let alone in any numbers, of people getting brain infections from the Chinese Chest Cold.

Mandating that people wear masks “at all times” even when outside and not near people, is just asinine.

Let’s do a thorough mask experiment. Let’s take some covid-soaked masks and use the leaders of CA and L.A. as our volunteer study subjects. They are forcing this crap on us

The article does not give any evidence at all that wearing a face mask causes the virus to enter the brain. It is one anti- mask doctor’s speculation.

The linked article within the article discusses patients with neurological symptoms but does not say that any of them were wearing masks. The elderly patients were unlikely to have been.

There is also a link to an article claiming that universal masking dropped Austria’s new infections by 90%. That would reduce neurological damage by a similar factor, unless you can point to a significant uptick in neuro problems there.

Wearing my double mask, 14 hours today.

Sneeze those dangerous pathogens onto someone else, you come first.
