Media Continue to Make Believe Masks are New Technology w/Ostensible Purpose of Safety: Studies Show N95’s Don't Protect Against Viral Spread and cloth/surgical Masks Do Nothing. Real Purpose is Fear

/

From [KIRSCH] Nobody in the medical community is speaking out about how ludicrous this is. So I will.

Here’s what they aren’t telling you about these free N95 respirators:

  1. An N95 respirator will “work” for around 2 hours in a hospital or similar setting with filtered air

  2. An N95 respirator will “work” for around 30 min outdoors

  3. If you have facial hair, forget it. It will not seal. If you were expecting at best 1% protection before, it is now 0%.

So if 200M Americans receive two respirators each, they get around 4 hours of protection. And that only works if the respirators are fitted perfectly with no gaps and people are trained on their use. And as we noted before, even if everything was perfect, you aren’t likely to get anywhere close to 95% reduction in virions (because of the size of the particles and the rate of airflow into the respirator), and even with such a reduction, that’s unlikely to make the difference between getting infected and not getting infected.

In general, N95’s are ineffective with respect to protection against viral spread. Randomized studies show cloth and surgical masks do nothing. Zero.

Not surprising at all. If you read the WHO 2004 “Laboratory Biosafety Manual” (Third Edition) it says, “Surgical type masks are designed solely for patient protection and do not provide respiratory protection to workers.” 

So it’s not like we haven’t figured that out 15 years before COVID came on the scene. It says surgical masks do not work. Period.

Yet, here we are 18 years later and the CDC and medical community now think they do. Evidence not required. Just belief.

Consider this quote from highly respected UCSF infectious disease Professor Monica Gandhi in a story about the Bangladesh mask study (which, despite the headlines, proved that masks don’t work at all as I’ve pointed out before):

The study results prompted Monica Gandhi, an infectious-disease physician at the University of California, San Francisco, to switch from cloth masks. “I bought surgical masks for myself — pink ones,” she says.

See? You cannot make this stuff up. It is unbelievable how uninformed the doctors are. Professor Gandhi uses protection that even the WHO says does nothing (and so did that Bangladesh mask study).

And you are taking advice from her?!?!
