It's still up they just buried the link. You have to scroll down to the face mask section to get the info you're looking for:

I have a screenshot of WHO guidelines from 6 April 2020.

Not sure how to post it, but wanted to emphasize it states “there is currently no evidence that healthy persons wearing a mask in a community setting will prevent them from getting the virus” in other words- masks don’t stop transmission.

The discussion/studies are always about infected people wearing masks whether it be flu or Covid. Studies have consistently showed no reliability for masks in prevention of virus spread. THAT is again for infected people. BOTTOM LINE- universal masking of healthy people has no basis in science.

Masks (properly fitted) were always meant for short term use on medical staff (constant exposure) or the actual sick (contain the droplets).

The ventilated scarves and other masks for Coronavirus / WuFlu are for show and only cut your air intake.

It's just a psychological reminder the virus is out there so them at no one forgets it.

Sorry. I'm not tech savvy at all. I know just enough to pretend I know, but I don't really know. Like, I don't know what maga.host is. But a screenshot is an image, yes? Seems like you should be able to do an image post. Maybe saving it to maga.host makes it not an image anymore? Or, could you do a link post and link to maga.host? Other than that, I got nothing.

We did not find evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility (Figure 2).

So it's all bullshit - gotcha. This is my my governor (Whitmer) has lost her fucking mind and I'm forced to strap a diaper to my face everywhere I go including work. I thought we were trusting the "scientists" Gretch? No? Okay.

I wish I did but I never thought someone would implement the dumbest fucking idea in history. I really can tell it’s psychological, but seriously, there has to be another reason for it. I think it’s so we don’t talk to each other and naturally distance. There is definitely another reason. If China did it to their people it has to be fucking evil.
