Masks have an effect on individual morbidity (not mortality).
Masks have no effect on the population morbidity (or very slight effect here) and zero, zip, nodda on mortality.
The general idea is that masks can reduce the infectious dose received, which in response to a healthy (generally non-susceptible) individual will reduce the disease severity. HOWEVER, in a susceptible individual, the reduction in dose has no effect; i.e. if you would have died from it you would die if you were infected with 100 or 10,000 infectious units. This is why masks work in health care settings to protect doctors, who could receive unusually high infectious doses from their patients, and if a non-susceptible person receives a high enough dose it can kill them (pretty much only applicable to health care settings).
Masks also reduce the infectious doses others would receive if you are sick, and if you are symptomatic and ill but need to go out then one should always wear a mask. But the idea of universal masking is just dumb, and has zero effect on population mortality rates and only the possibility of a slight reduction in disease severity from people who would not die from the disease. It will be interesting to see the spike in klebsiella / staph pneumonia for this year from people wearing masks too long.
Ok it’s time for someone with a damn brain to stand up to this garbage. Shove that little gnome fauci down and say it’s time to stop. I know some people haven’t worn them but there are a lot of places you cannot go without a mask and it needs to stop. Scientific proof, they asked for it, here it is.
I’m it sure where you guys are getting no statistical difference. All these values have statistical significance if p < .05. There is statistical significance but no clinical significance
How do we get around or expose the CDC? Real talk here, because our schools are moving in the right direction and bringing back things like contact sports and music, but keep referencing the fucking CDC which flip flops every other week and quietly changes their stance in the middle of the night. I have brought this up, but not one school official can say anything other than we have to abide by the CDC, pulling my hair out some days talking to people in my community
NO statistical difference, better keep wearing masks. It's not the virus, it's about control.
So Im a microbiologist fag and I would like to try to explain why masks work, and don't work the way they using them.
If you do a search of the literature before the kung-flu you will see that all the studies show similar results (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=face+mask+epidemiology&filter=years.1970-2019).

Wow...so surgical masks, shitty cloth masks nad ill fitting respirators never worked all along, who knew!!!
Follow the

This shit is so annoying. Nothing will convince mask enthusiasts that they are useless.
It’s a religion, it’s been an entire year that shit is baked in

Anyone have link to original CDC study?
They 'corrected' their numbers https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7008a4.htm?s_cid=mm7008a4_w
So margin of error.
I would argue their 'corrected' figures aren't that significant either. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7006e2.htm?s_cid=mm7006e2_w#contribAff
Let our children breathe again!!
Well that is one maskie, what about two maskies? three maskies? Red maskies? Blue maskies?

If after year some people really think that wearing a mask protects them they deserve whatever bullshit they get in life.
