There are no randomized controlled trials supporting asymptomatic community mask usage to stop the flu. Only mechanistic studies exist to show decreased aerosolization of droplets.
Plus real world, people never wash them and are always touching and fiddling with their masks.
If anything, they probably increase transmission and increase the likelihood of getting sick from things
Masks don't work and they never worked on the spread of Influenza/Corona Viruses. The reason surgeons and hospital use them is to prevent the spread of infection from sweat, spit, mucous transmission.
If you need a mask to prevent the virus use a full face mask with Carbon Filters. Wash your clothes, face, hands frequently (3 to 4 hours or lower).
the trials the CDC used to deny masks worked for years were based on not even testing if the people in the studies even used the masks. In clinical settings, masks are shown to have an effect. So either health professionals are superheroes whose power is to make masks 'work', or they do if you really use them.
The above diagram makes it seem that in all circumstances two unmasked people would have a 90% chance of transmission, which is false. Perhaps if the two were sneezing at each other in a meat packing plant (or nightclub.)
It's a Petri dish for your face. These things aren't made to be worn for days or weeks at a time, or hours at a time. I drive around town and everybody hangs them from their rearview mirror in their car.
The sheep are now saying they are a symbol that you respect others. They are a ridiculous symbol now so I'd say they do exactly what the sheep think they do at this point. Masks actually working is no longer of interest to them.
This goes hand in hand with liberal thought process. Everything they do is a lie, and their whole value system is based on doing thing they think make them virtuous but in reality just serve their ego. Nothing they do is based on truth, but is propped up by the lies they believe.
And Biden let that cat out of the bag when he said they value truth over facts. Notice that since then he has done a lot of "look at the facts" to try and walk back that admission. In his speech on Thursday he emphasized facts at least twice. I also notice he quoted the Preamble because he fucked it up so bad previously, "you know the thing man". Half of his speech was damage control and it included trying to paint over leftist disinterest in facts.
Also implies the big BS going around for months that a half breath of vapor will kill you. Takes 10+ mins in a closed space of intimate exposure for most people.

Spez: "The number of virus particles needed to infect a single individual, Ninf, needs to be taken into account to translate these findings into risk of infection. This obviously also depends on factors such as the vulnerability / susceptibility of the host, yet as detailed in Ref.19, the respiratory infectivity for SARS-CoV-2 is not yet well known. In the absence of data on SARS-CoV-2, the most reasonable assumption is that the critical number of virus particles to cause infection is comparable to that for other Coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-1, and influenza virus. In that case, Ninf ~100-1000, which corresponds to ~10-100 PFU.19-21. If we adopt a conservative approach and assume the upper limit of this range (Ninf ~100), we find that our unventilated 2×2×2 m3 space contaminated by a single cough is safe for residing times of less than 12 minutes due to the low virus content of the aerosol particles."

And to think, the CDC has had DECADES to do this. COVID is the same size as the flu. Mask results for the flu would have the same results for COVID.
Instead the government is spending money on grants to understand sexism in dogs
It is a disgrace. PNATS DOWN IN 2020. The money flows to more profitable pharmacy endeavours.
Wow, sexism in dogs.
Do dogs want to be gender neutral?
The gubment needs to know?
Nah, paper's already been published. Dog parks support rape culture
(tbf, it was one of a series of intentionally hoax papers designed to show how bad academia had gotten, but still...)
Ya. Government waste is out of control. For instance, Newsom's 1 billion mask deal. Totally buying people off and laundering that money.
Plus real world, people never wash them and are always touching and fiddling with their masks. If anything, they probably increase transmission and increase the likelihood of getting sick from things
And now you know why they want them to be worn.

Thank you. This is what I was referring to.
You got a permit for that hate speech?
I wouldn't be surprised if masks increased the spread of the flu. They make people feel safe and reduce social distancing.
There is no evidence for social distancing either.

What? Are you saying there’s no proof that avoiding the primary cause of transmission helps?
It's a Petri dish for your face. These things aren't made to be worn for days or weeks at a time, or hours at a time. I drive around town and everybody hangs them from their rearview mirror in their car.
Would you like to see a paper from the NIH that shows masks do not work?

Masks achieve perpetuation of the hoax.
They achieve psychological warfare. Their only purpose is perpetuation of this hoax and the demand for compliance.
I like it because mask Karens are more likely to get sucked in and read all the way to the bottom for the sucker punch.
Male-in voting is misogynistic. In-Person voting is gender neutral.

Not doubting, but do you have a link to that study?
