Masks don’t work. Compliance to falsehoods are a slippery slope to communism

Ducky874 [S] -28 points ago +2 / -30

They only don't work if you don't use them properly, for instance touching them before cleaning your hands.

The virus travels in water droplets in the air. Wearing a mask that captures water droplets will reduce the amount of water droplets in the air and thus reduce the chance of infection. Isn't that like...common sense?

The next time you buy a box of masks, look for the part that says "will not provide any protection against COVID-19 (coronavirus)" Then you'll start to understand why people don't like masks around here. Maybe I'm ancient (late 20s), but I remember when people would stay home if they were sick and cover mouth with their elbow when they sneeze or cough.

So if that’s the case why haven’t we worn mask because of the flu or the common cold which is another version of covid?

-17
Ducky874 [S] -17 points ago +1 / -18

I imagine because they have much lower mortality rates, and since they had become a part of our life and there was nothing much we could do about it, we decided that in balance not wearing a mask for those illnesses seemed the right way of doing things in terms of lfie disruption.

If the Coof is .8 microns large and masks filter out everything 11+ microns large then common sense would say that masks don't work. Rule of thumb: if you can smell smoke through your mask, then the mask doesn't work.

Kinda seems like he knows it is bullshit. But he has a bunch of commie opticsfags surrounding him. President Donald J Trump was and is the only man that could have saved the world from fauci (which means sickle) and his demented wet dream coming to fruition. Karri Mullis died in 2019...

You don’t know that. He needed to appeal to a mass of people outside of those who call it bs. It’s why he’s been pushing therapeutics and HQC not just vaccines.

Covid is bs. I don’t care what Trump believes. He’s surrounded by people misinforming him left and right.

Don't see why healthy people would wear masks, I assume most people are immune to COVID and the ones that get sick, most of them recover. If people are genuinely afraid of a disease that A) you need a test to know if you have it and B) 99.8% of people recover from they can stay home. Me, I just want to live a normal life and the government can stay out of my health. MY BODY MY CHOICE. If women can scream it about abortion so can I lol.

If you've ever smelt a fart dealt by somebody wearing pants, you've got all your evidence on why masks don't work. And shit particles flying into your nose are massively bigger than viruses. Masks being worthless isn't a new discovery. You can find plenty of studies pre-2020.

  1. pretty sure your pants don't have special filtration layers.

  2. Farts smell way worse if you're not wearing any pants lol.

BajoPivljanin 4 points ago +4 / -0

don't have special filtration layers.

Air is not passing through the filtering layers, because air, water and every other fluid goes where there is no resistance

Air doesn't carry the virus though, it's water, and water is absorbed by the material.

HeavyMetalPatriot 1 point ago +1 / -0

I shall endeavor to drop more pantless farts, but in the meantime look up the CoronaChan statistics for states with face diaper mandates vs. those without. Also, we're not talking about the value of N95 masks or masks with real filtration protections. People are wearing cloth or disposables (and not even correctly), and then pawing their masks and everything else.

I mean, I don't wanna bust out the ol' Ben Shapiro line but my girlfriend is a doctor, and she wears masks, so I'm gonna keep trusting her. The fact that doctors wear masks (and wore masks) to stop infections looong before Covid demosntrates to me that they are useful (when used correctly) at reducing chance of infection.

despoticgardener 7 points ago +7 / -0

"The fact that doctors wear masks (and wore masks) to stop infections looong before Covid" You mean looong before they decided to usher in the New World Order under the guise of some bullshit virus? Do some research pal... If your girlfriend is a doctor ask her about the science behind this covid nonsense. It doesn't add up mate. She should be able to confirm this, as thousands of other medical practitioners across the world have.

If that’s true, then she would know that you have a 99.9% chance of surviving the coronavirus. It’s the fucking flu. If that’s the case why would you wear a mask all day every day to survive if you have less than 1% chance of dying! Also if masks worked, why are the numbers going up exponentially across the nation? Because they don’t. However, I learned a long time ago that you can’t reason with an unreasonable person. If you wanna wear the mask then do it! I don’t think other people are unreasonable because they don’t want to. It’s a choice. You choose for you, I choose for me my body my choice! And don’t tell me I need to wear one for somebody else, because if the mask works, then it shouldn’t matter if I’m wearing one if you are? Right?

Show me a single scientific study that shows reusing a fabric over and over on your face is preventing a microscopic virus from passing through. And why should I w wear a mask when I have absolutely no chance of dying from covid to begin with? If your willing to fold over something as stupid as masks, you will probably fold on anything.

Multiple studies show the filtration effects of cloth masks relative to surgical masks. Particle sizes for speech are on the order of 1 µm (20) while typical definitions of droplet size are 5 µm-10 µm (5). Generally available household materials had between a 49% and 86% filtration rate for 0.02 µm exhaled particles whereas surgical masks filtered 89% of those particles (21). In a laboratory setting, household materials had 3% to 60% filtration rate for particles in the relevant size range, finding them comparable to some surgical masks (22). In another laboratory setup, a tea cloth mask was found to filter 60% of particles between 0.02 µm to 1 µm, where surgical masks filtered 75% (23). Dato et al (2006) (24), note that "quality commercial masks are not always accessible." They designed and tested a mask made from heavyweight T-shirts, finding that it "offered substantial protection from the challenge aerosol and showed good fit with minimal leakage".Although cloth and surgical masks are primarily targeted towards droplet particles, some evidence suggests they may have a partial effect in reducing viral aerosol shedding (25).

The most robust studies (using N-95 masks) show no statistical protection from wearing masks to protect from flu - which has much more mucus / wet cough associated with it than covid.

https://www.rcreader.com/commentary/masks-dont-work-covid-a-review-of-science-relevant-to-covide-19-social-policy

Virologists wear SUITS with air pumped in via hoses. You don't put up chain-link fences to keep out mosquitos. Doctors wear masks in surgery primarily to protect from bacterial spread into open incisions.

Fauci's own organization put out a study showing wearing surgical masks to be bad for you. It has been disappeared but some folks here have it archived.

And then you reuses your covid infested mask over and over. Making it pointless. And it's still not filtering it out completely like your source says, so whats the fucking point? If you want to be a slave and live in fear of an overhyped flu be my guest, I won't be joining you

Then you are a moron. If you wear a mask people think they are protected when they are not. Mask do not protect against airborne viruses. Also covid lasts for hours in the air. People take un neccsesay risks and ignore real prophylaxis. Yes n95 mask do offer soms protection whe. Used correctly, but cloth masks do nothing. Wearing a mask is like using an umbrella like a parachute. When florida outlawed masked mandates deaths went down because people took real steps to prevent infections. Also constant mask wearing is not health in general.

-11
Ducky874 [S] -11 points ago +1 / -12

When you say cloth masks, do you refer to surgical masks as well? Because I would agree that any cloth mask is not effective, whereas surgical masks are designed for this stuff. Why else would doctors wear them?

farfiman 5 points ago +5 / -0

There is no law/guidelines saying what type a mask has to be used.... that in itself means it isn't that important.

-6
Ducky874 [S] -6 points ago +1 / -7

I think it's that way because they would rather have people wear some kind of mask, even if less effective, than no mask at all.

1
cheesygorditacrunch4 1 point ago +1 / -0

But you said cloths mask were not effective in your previous reply. So if they’re not effective why do you support them? Which is it?

Ducky874 [S] 1 point ago +1 / -0

No i was saying that they are less effective.

3
StormWithin 3 points ago +3 / -0

They are made with short period of time usage in mind. And they are supposed to block large particles, not viruses fraction of a micron in size. Prolonged mask wearing has a lot more negative effects than positive. For one, after half an hour there is enough bacteria on the mask to be dangerous and cause infection. And the more time passes, the larger the risk. And the more "effective" the mask, the faster the risk growth rate. So excuse me, but fuck your mask. Want to wear one? I will not stop you, but stop forcing your unhealthy fantasies on other people.

BajoPivljanin 2 points ago +2 / -0

Make an experiment:

  • Kiss the mask, like the most beautiful girl, make it fit
  • try to breath

Yes it will be super hard to breath

Conclusion: you are breathing around the mask and you are achieving nothing by having "filters" and "barriers"

Do you think that wearing a mask = thought crime

I also never understood why wearing a mask meant liberal oppression - surely hiding your face is more free than when they ban face coverings?

2
OrangeElvis 2 points ago +2 / -0

I think worn correctly N-95 masks can at BEST provide some mitigation to spread in specific situations. However, on balance they do nothing and likely are net harmful - especially when mandated.

Like stay at home orders and lockdowns, mask mandates do more harm than good - probably quite a bit more.

You ask why it is political. If the purpose is to drive a narrative of fear and to make a pretty benign virus seem much worse than it is, I cannot think of many more ways they could have done so than:

  • Mask mandates
  • shut downs
  • change definition of a case to positive lab result ONLY (no symptoms required) for the first time EVER
  • over-cycle tests in order to get massive false-positive numbers
  • require mandatory tests for asymptomatic people
  • fear porn on MSM 24/7

If the purpose us to drive global economy into depression so socialist / communist opportunists can take control - this playbook makes perfect sense. Notice how goalposts get changed and the narrative never changes. "It has always been this way". Flatten the curve to wait for vaccine to vaccines don't keep you 100% safe to mutations start everything over to this is the way things are always going to be forever.

RememberKosciuszko 5 points ago +6 / -1

Well, from my perspective:

The virus isn't deadly enough for such a measure - measure being ENFORCED mask use. Such measure being pushed points to potential other motives, not sure which one though. Anyway, the whole story of why masks are so great doesn't hold up to the data.

Masks make it harder to breathe, that's a no-brainer.

And in my unpopular opinion - if masks weren't enforced but rather "recommended", I think more people would be willing to do it. People are feeling better doing something voluntarily. Being forced to do something, even if it would be a non-issue, immediately spawns adversity.

Basically, it's an ole FU towards the people thinking they can dictate your way of life without any authority for such thing

3
RememberKosciuszko 3 points ago +4 / -1

Or maybe they just report it that way?

Numbers aren't reflection of reality in this case. Cases are inflated, deaths are inflated, recoveries are glanced over.

Look up to Sweden. Not sure what policy they are following now, but they were "no lockdown" country from the start and people didn't really complain.

Even if. Because I heard few months back that Vietnam SUPPOSEDLY had the greatest efficiency with fighting the virus.

Once you read (or just use some imagination, really) about the measures put in place, you should immediately ask yourself - is it worth it? Complete surveillance and control, obedience to the state, full fucking blown totalitarianism.

No thanks.

I personally don’t care if you do or don’t wear a mask. Each individual has their own thought process and based on the constitution you are free to do as you please. If Trump wore a diamond studded glove to align his chakras would I wear one? No. Perhaps it works for him in one way or another. Why pigeon hole Trump & mask into a big thing when there are so many incredible things that will be when we come together to fight the fake ways of the crony establishment.

LiskaEman 4 points ago +4 / -0

If I can help, it’s because wearing the masks enable the psycho ccp agents, like the govenors and mayors etc, to use them as excuses to close business, hurt the economy, and it’s used as a demoralization/method of attack too. Especially the “oh you got a vaccine but you still have to wear a mask” rabbithole.

They don’t care about you, your health, or your well being. They care about their power over you. They use the masks for that. Take Whitmer as a good example.

If you really want to see how worthless lockdowns and masks are just ask the most powerful scientific force in the world. The United States Military. You see the military studies everything to do with people and can do things the private sector can not.

The stringency of the measures that were put in place among the recruits was far more extreme than anything that could be done in a civilian setting. Yet two of the platoons the virus still spread like wildfire.
