2019 WHO Study Found Mask Ineffective At Stopping Viral Spread

Just the News

A 2019 World Health Organization review of numerous studies testing the efficacy of face coverings to stop the transmission of influenza found “no evidence that [wearing a mask] is effective in reducing transmission” of the virus. The organization has further discouraged individuals from using cloth masks to cover their faces during pandemics, though at times that advice has appeared to shift. More

  1. I wore my red bandana when I went grocery shopping yesterday. It makes me look like a bank robber, I met my youngest brother there as he and his wife were doing their grocery shopping as well. He told me I needed to wear my dads Stetson cowboy hat to complete the look. My other pony tailed brother in Seattle has my dads hat, darn I didn’t go thru my dads stuff fast enough after he died to claim it. But I claim my dads turquoise bolo Western string tie to complete the look. I hate being forced to wear a damn mask when I go to the store.

  2. I live in an area getting inundated with forest fire smoke.

    A mask, one of the kind they sell boxes of at Walmart, does not stop the smoke so I ask: How much smaller are smoke particulates that I can smell through the mask than the covid viruses that the masks protect us from?

    If you’ve got a doctor’s appointment that requires you to wear a mask coming up be sure to ask that of him, I’m sure he’ll be able to tell you.

  3. Anonymous- Even in the casino you can still smell odors in a
    smokaay room- the smell of wine and cheeeap perfuume.
    [sorry, went JOURNEY there for a sec.]
    Anyway, they don’t do much to stop anything. And even if it did, you come home with the stink on them, which you’ll touch with your hands and…

  4. “If you’ve got a doctor’s appointment that requires you to wear a mask coming up be sure to ask that of him, I’m sure he’ll be able to tell you.”

    I would, but when I last sat in her office a couple of months ago, suffocating with a triple thick paper mask on, she told me that we would be wearing the masks for a few more months for protection. And then she told me to buy a Gaiter. [Which offers ‘even less protection’. lol]
    Not all doctors see the irony.

    Anyway, for all the suffocating I did wearing the 3,5, 10 ply paper mask, I did notice I could still smell a bit of the alcohol and soap in her office.

    Oh! The one thing she did right, well maybe not her, but her office, because I’m sure she drinks, is ban gloves in the offices, because people get real brave when they’re wearing gloves. lol.
    Plus, they don’t wash their hands, either.

  5. I can’t believe we are still debating mask’s 😷 nine months after the fact. 🤔

    They don’t do jack, except to instill fear and to control the populace. 🤬

  6. How about this: the masks either work or they don’t.

    If they don’t, there’s nothing to discuss. If they do, they just prolong the misery because they prevent herd immunity.

    Lose/lose

  7. Diameter of Corona Virus ~ 30 nm.
    Diameter of Void in N95 Mask ~ 300 nm.

    A = pi * r^2
    (150^2) / (15^2) = 100

    Thus: 100 Viruses can traverse each Void at each breath!
    How many Voids are in a Mask? Can’t find out. But assume (for a moment) that 1% of the mask is voids and the mask is a 6″ circle (?) then 0.283 square inches are void. That’s 7.1882 E+6 (7,188,200) square nanometers. Or roughly 10,170 Viruses per breath penetrate the mask. How many viruses are required to make you sick? One? A hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand?

    Smells like bullshit to me.

    And since fewer than 10,000 people have died exclusively from Wuhan Flu, the odor of bullshit becomes overwhelming. Kind of expect those with slave mentalities to do what they’re told without question … but Americans?
    Wobbles the mind!

  8. Political, public panic porn. The deep state federal government created the panic and PDJT reacted to the politics and shut down our nation. I do fault him for this poor decision but in fairness to him he would been crucified either way.

    I think he has learned a valuable lesson in liberty from his mistakes.

  9. Here is a website that factually lists the filtering levels of various Health related “Masks”. These are Actual tested and verified fact to judge and educate yourself with instead of the misinformation dumped on us by Politicians and their helping Liberal MSM.

    You should quickly be able to see the commonly used and required Paper or Cloth masks are useless.

    Go pull a slide which shows the stated size comparison of the Covid-19 virus to other viruses and particles.

    “Google “how large is a corona virus”

    Note the size and filtering ability of the above listed masks.

    The Argument Is Over …. we were played.

  10. I have been telling people to search nih.gov for studies on the effective of masks for preventing viral infections. It has studies going back decades, and nearly all of them state that masks are ineffective, and can in fact be harmful if worn for long periods of time. The only studies that did not state that masks were ineffective were, surprise, done this year.
