A PROFESSIONAL STUDY REGARDING FACE-MASKS AND COVID

Yes, the masks do not stop 100% of Covid in all circumstances. But, they are decidedly preferential to wearing no masks at all.

So, read said evidence from a professional study here below: New Evidence on Face Masks to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19

Excerpt:

Since then, public health researchers have been studying whether face coverings do in fact help prevent the spread of COVID-19. A new systematic review published in December 2020 in the American Journal of Infection Control offers the most comprehensive evidence on COVID-19 and face masks to date.

The review includes six studies conducted in four countries: China, the U.S., Thailand and Bangladesh. All of the studies were case-controlled, meaning they compared participants who wore masks with those who did not. Five of the studies involved only healthcare workers, and the sixth involved participants from the general population. The participants in all of the studies were tested for COVID-19 over the course of their participation.

Combining all of the data, the researchers found that wearing a mask significantly reduced the risk of contracting COVID-19. Among healthcare workers, wearing a mask reduced the risk of infection by nearly 70 percent.

The CDC recommends everyone over the age of 2 wear a mask in public settings, including while on public transportation, while at stores, schools and workplaces or anytime you are around others outside of your household. In these situations, you should wear a mask and stay at least six feet apart from others. If someone in your household becomes infected with COVID-19, everyone who lives in the house should wear masks to avoid transmission of the virus.

The trick is that masks only reduce your risks if worn correctly. That means the mask needs to fit over your nose and mouth and snugly against the sides of the face. The mask should include multiple layers of fabric and be washable. It is important not to touch your mask and, if you do, to wash your hands afterwards. If you have to continually adjust your mask, it may not fit properly, and you might require a different mask type or brand.

'Nuff said? Likely not. Some people refuse to either understand or even read the evidential facts, which is alarming ...

Those first two masks are actually not that great because they have a breathing valve. They will protect you against others, but will not protect others against you- if you happen to be an asymptomatic carrier.

If you trace this to the study.....

It is speaking of proper wearing of an N95 mask. Not cloth face coverings.

Masks encourage people to go out, spreading the virus. And, the mask police don't give a shit what kind of mask you have, as long as you have a mask. Bad masks and masks not worn properly spread the virus but the left don't care about that. All they care about is imposing their will on others, even if it means masked people spreading the virus. The only thing that really works is not going out because when you tell people to wear masks, it gives them the impression they can go out for anything and everything, spreading the virus much more than if they just stayed home. Masks actually spread the virus.

Funny that 2 of the masks pictured we're not approved in most places due to the valve. Shot yourself in the foot on this one

Hang on.

There is an expert here that says they're basically useless.



Now, he's constantly wrong about stuff but ignore that.

The Truth about wearing anti-covid masks, here From the Mayo Clinic: How well do face masks protect against coronavirus

Excerpt:

Can face masks help slow the spread of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19? Yes. Face masks combined with other preventive measures, such as getting vaccinated, frequent hand-washing and physical distancing, can help slow the spread of the virus.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends fabric masks for the general public. People who haven’t been fully vaccinated should continue to wear face masks in indoor public places and outdoors where there is a high risk of COVID-19 transmission, such as crowded events or large gatherings. The CDC says that N95 masks should be reserved for health care providers.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends medical masks for health care workers as well as for anyone who has or may have COVID-19 or who is caring for someone who has or may have COVID-19.

Blah, blah, blah and more blah.

You are pathetically devoid of any understanding of the magnitude of the problem. Despite the fact that, as of this date, more people have died than ever before of a medical infection.

BFD. Better-than-nuthin!

PS: The chances of anyone being an "asymptomatic carrier" are nil.

See here: A Doctor Explains Why 45% of All Americans refuse to Wear A Protective Mask

Sadly, a new study reveals that only about half of us are wearing masks — about 55% total. There are quite a few theories about why that is. Some would say it’s because of American independence and resistance to authority, others would chalk up to sheer ignorance. At least one doctor has a different view.

“I think people are hesitant to wear masks due to our culture and humans are used to using their faces to express emotions and communicate,” says Dr. Henry Redel, the Chief of Infectious Disease at Saint Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ. “It is a big change. Cultures in Asia, where respiratory viruses have caused epidemics in the past, have adapted culturally to the practice and had better results during this pandemic. I think the American public can, too.”

You wanna live "for sure"? Get an anti-Covid shot! (It costs you only the wait-time and is painless.)

Otherwise, your life is up-for-grabs ... !

Agreed about the Covid shot.

But asymptomatic spread has been one of the primary means of Covid transmission this pandemic.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2009758

Even fully vaccinated people may still be vectors for a viral transmission to those still unvaccinated without a mask.

You asked, we answered: Can I still spread COVID-19 after vaccination?

I heard someone say that if you get the vaccine, you could still be a carrier and spread the virus even if you didn't notice you were sick. Is that true or just a rumor they picked up?

Facemasks encourage people to go out, spreading the virus. Yes, if we have 1000 people out and about, all wearing face masks the virus will spread less than having 1000 people out and about, none wearing face masks. BUT, facemasks encourage 5000 people to be out and about, spreading the virus. The only thing that truly works is lockdowns, where the mask wearers aren't out and about, spreading the virus. Many of the mask wearers are not wearing good enough masks or are not wearing them correctly, which furthers the spread of the virus but the left refuse to accept that fact.

It is the left who are not understanding the magnitude of the problem. The virus continues to surge everywhere where there are mask requirements because masked people spread the virus. Rates have only fallen in areas where the Trump vaccine has dropped the numbers.

Where in heaven's name did you get the above nonsense outlined in red?

What planet do you live on? Don't need a mask on that planet? OH, HOW LUCKY YOU ARE ... !

PS: What "Trump vaccine"? And why did he wait until the last day in the White House to get it?
PPS: Some say it was the one-shot Johnson&Johnson vaccine but it is difficult to find a definitive designation on Internet reports. Anyway, at the end, it seems he's saved his sorry-ass by getting the shot he so denigrated!

The virus was spreading during mask mandates so obviously it was the masked people spreading the virus as most everyone was masked. How can you not see that? The surges only began to let up after the Trump vaccine was available, which wasn’t until Biden took office.
