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.

“your gloves could be transferred to all the other surfaces you touch.”
And last week it was revealed that it doesn’t stay/live on surfaces.
(Thank you Dr. Fauci for lying ONCE AGAIN three months ago to instill fear in an entire civilization.)
Beware of Blaylock. In my opinion he's a dishonest crank.
He argues there are no studies proving masks protect against the flu.
Why flu when we're talking about Covid-19? He says
"no studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Any recommendations, therefore, have to be based on studies of influenza virus transmission."
But the review of literature that he cites for his core argument also says:
"Eight of nine retrospective observational studies found that mask and/or respirator use was independently associated with a reduced risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)."
Covid-19 is caused by a SARS virus.
See that? He fails to tell his readers that multiple studies show masks are effective against SARS viruses and instead focuses on influenza.
Why? Not because he's an honest researcher but because it gives him the answer he wants.
