Once again literal lies from the LSM

An N95 mask is rated to remoce 95% of particles that are 300nm in diameter or greater.

Covid virus averages between 20nm-30nm, The mask is basically useless.

Now remember most were never required to wear even an N95, just paper, which is not even rated as a filter!

These people need to hang from the same Gallows a Dr. Mengele should but at least some of his nurses did.

Such NS in the article-—there’s so many studies showing masks do NOTHING in real world situations. Heck, there’s an NIH study that shows masks made no difference.

So it begs the question, which science is wrong. The science before 2020 or after. One of them is wrong, which one is it?

That was my rationale for wearing a mask, but there’s a Cochrane meta-analysis that found they do little to nothing. That, and the reduced danger of the newer variants makes me not as concerned about masking.

>>>>Starting off with “What Science Knows Now”<<<<<<

I laugh at that all the time because, if science has become so advanced, then why did we think 3 years ago masks don’t stop a virus? But now they offer great protection? Are masks that sophisticated that modern science missed this for hundreds of years? If our sophisticated scientists had this wrong for all this time, then anything from science can never be settled.

"I’m dumbfounded as to the number of people STILL wearing masks, smh, it’s disturbing."

If "COVID" proved anything, it is that a large majority of people are unbelievably stupid, ignorant, naive, and fearful.

I had to wear one when I went to my chiropractor. They had those timed scent aerosol spray things and I could smell it. Even with a mask on, I could tell what fragrance it was. If a spray aerosol could get past a mask, so could Covid. After that experience, I didn’t wear my mask. No one said anything about it either.

Not ment to stop the virus but to stop your heart.

Yah, that is it.

Saying that masks prevent SOME inhalation is true, and typical commie trash BS. Think standing in front of an explosion wearing body armor. Yeah, it caught the shrapnel on your torso. But, your head is gone plus both legs.

WHO and CDC funded mask use studies back in 2015 in SEast asia. Hundreds of participants in hospitals, etc. Definitively showed that N95 lets thru more than half of virii and cloth masks >90%.
That is not protection.
And, these studies have been available on the WWW for years.

Always follow the money. I'm sure many companies with leftist political connections went hog-wild making masks during the "Pandemic" and now find themselves with warehouses full of them, just sitting there and getting very expensive to keep around. Time to fire up the trusty media people to create another panic. Sales!

If you know that it is a CBS article then why are you sending everyone to MSN instead of to the actual source?

The Mask manufacturers know more than these doctors.

What they know is that they need to put that stuff on the package to prevent being infected by lawsuits.

"..reducing the amount of virus that you would inhale from the air around you,"
Marr said about masks."

Because wherever you go, you will be surrounded by the wuhan
flu virus.

“Face mask effectiveness: What science knows now”

naturally, the article didn’t contain a single particle of actual science, but instead simply quoted the pontifications of a single so-called “expert” ...

Not anymore. That’s the former official name. Now it’s Virginia Tech.

Sorry, I meant to say that’s the “formal, official name,” not former. It’s most commonly known now as Virginia Tech.

I was the Publications Manager for the Alumni Association for a few years, and we never used VPI & SU.

My daughter and son-in-law are all about masking -they mask everywhere in public to this very day.

Both got nasty cases of COVID over the summer - my daughter had a relapse right after she recovered, took weeks for her to feel well again.

I almost fainted after wearing a mask for about 30 minutes, I actually fell against my car. After that, I was done.
