Do Masks Work?

[francoHFW]

Wow.
The RWI stance to deny science.

Stay unmasked and risk it.
The Risk is NOT WORTH it you claim.

But Freedom........lol.

Don't forget communism lol

SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT...

You would rather die than have masks or vaccines mandated?
Do you feel the same about the polio vaccine? Measles, mumps, diphtheria?
How about Scarlett fever?

I don't think you quite got all your groceries bagged...

The Corona Virus has a death rate of approx. 0.04% . Catching the bug is hardly a death sentence.

Out of the entire population maybe,

But if you get it...the death rate if you get it is 2%

 

[Dadoalex]

I don't want or need you to protect me, no thanks.

Please be sure to tell that to the hospital staff.

 

[Dadoalex]

They are 20% to 95% effective, from crummy cloth 1 to surgical one. You are of course totally missinformed by babbling idiot pundits. The whole world thinks you are nuts. Change the channel dumb ass.

$20 bucks is better than zero bucks.

what channel tells you that zero is more than 20 or 95?


and how stupid are you that you think 20% protection os worse than zero.

Man, the Tiny Brains are running rampant here.

 

[DukeU]

Please be sure to tell that to the hospital staff.

That would require me to be at the hospital......... I'm not.

 

[Dadoalex]

I don't think you quite got all your groceries bagged...

Then bag em up shorty.

Your Tiny Mind is qualified for nothing else.
Well, there is the poop throwing. So...

Really?
Tell that to the people dying in those 100% full hospitals.

I doubt I could throw you very far. You worthless leftist traitors catch a lot of wind.

TICK-TOCK

You couldn't throw me at all.
While I realize you surround yourself and your mind with crap
It's understandable that your Tiny Mind cannot discern the difference.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

No....but let alone masks....

do vaccines work?

Evidently not

It's already been posted.

But don't wear one, I don't care.

no it hasn't. That's just a demofk ploy in here. you've personally not posted one iota of evidence masks work. there are no studies. The make of masks forbids it to stop a smaller virus particle. you're just not scientific enough to understand. So you parrot the platform.

 

[jc456]

Evidently not

Dude, when these idiots wish to fall back to a failed procedure of masks after vaccination, tells one all one needs to know. BTW, for what it's worth, I continue to frequent restaurants and grocery stores, still haven't seen one sick person, over the course of the seventeen months. Not one. Where are they? Even went to a baseball game with 20,000 and not one sick person. everyone enjoying themselves there. Sorry, hoax is the word.

"
Former President Biden COVID-19 adviser and top epidemiologist Michael Osterholm admitted that typical paper masks are ineffective and suggested that Americans may need to switch to heavier duty N-95 masks to battle the new wave of cases in an interview on CNN Monday.

"We know today that many of the face cloth coverings that people wear are not very effective in reducing any of the virus movement in or out," Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said.

"We need to talk about better masking," he continued. "We need to talk about N-95 respirators, which would do a lot for both people who are not yet vaccinated or not previously infected."

Former Biden COVID adviser says cloth masks ineffective, suggests Americans start wearing N-95 masks

Which is boggling because the n95, the one mask that is likely the only effective mask is the one nobody could get ahold of when this all began, and the one they kept telling us we needed to not go out and buy so the medical industry would have enough.

Thats great, but, rather than leading people to believe that they could wear "a mask" to be safe, they should have ramped up production of n95 masks.

The cloth, bedazzled, and fashion designed masks you see people wearing do nothing, and may actually be more of a health hazard that wearing nothing, if not changed frequently and washed properly.

no mask is capable of stopping the virus. Masks weren't designed to stop viruses.

Its been posted and the studies are all over the internet. Normally I believe posters should post links to sources that back up their arguments however this content has been posted multiple times
At this point you might as well be asking me to post a link to a source that demonstrates grass is green.

Either you're a fucking moron, a liar who claims to have never seen any of these studies or you simply ignore links when they are posted.

Filtration for Wearer Protection​

Studies demonstrate that cloth mask materials can also reduce wearers’ exposure to infectious droplets through filtration, including filtration of fine droplets and particles less than 10 microns. The relative filtration effectiveness of various masks has varied widely across studies, in large part due to variation in experimental design and particle sizes analyzed. Multiple layers of cloth with higher thread counts have demonstrated superior performance compared to single layers of cloth with lower thread counts, in some cases filtering nearly 50% of fine particles less than 1 micron .14,17-29 Some materials (e.g., polypropylene) may enhance filtering effectiveness by generating triboelectric charge (a form of static electricity) that enhances capture of charged particles18,30 while others (e.g., silk) may help repel moist droplets31 and reduce fabric wetting and thus maintain breathability and comfort. In addition to the number of layers and choice of materials, other techniques can improve wearer protection by improving fit and thereby filtration capacity. Examples include but are not limited to mask fitters, knotting-and-tucking the ear loops of medical procedures masks, using a cloth mask placed over a medical procedure mask, and nylon hosiery sleeves.31-35

Human Studies of Masking and SARS-CoV-2 Transmission​

Data regarding the “real-world” effectiveness of community masking are limited to observational and epidemiological studies.

• An investigation of a high-exposure event, in which 2 symptomatically ill hair stylists interacted for an average of 15 minutes with each of 139 clients during an 8-day period, found that none of the 67 clients who subsequently consented to an interview and testing developed infection. The stylists and all clients universally wore masks in the salon as required by local ordinance and company policy at the time.36
• In a study of 124 Beijing households with > 1 laboratory-confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 infection, mask use by the index patient and family contacts before the index patient developed symptoms reduced secondary transmission within the households by 79%.37
• A retrospective case-control study from Thailand documented that, among more than 1,000 persons interviewed as part of contact tracing investigations, those who reported having always worn a mask during high-risk exposures experienced a greater than 70% reduced risk of acquiring infection compared with persons who did not wear masks under these circumstances.38
• A study of an outbreak aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, an environment notable for congregate living quarters and close working environments, found that use of face coverings on-board was associated with a 70% reduced risk.39
• Investigations involving infected passengers aboard flights longer than 10 hours strongly suggest that masking prevented in-flight transmissions, as demonstrated by the absence of infection developing in other passengers and crew in the 14 days following exposure.40,41

At least ten studies have confirmed the benefit of universal masking in community level analyses: in a unified hospital system,42 a German city,43 two U.S. states,44, 45 a panel of 15 U.S. states and Washington, D.C.,46, 47 as well as both Canada48 and the U.S. 49-51 nationally. Each analysis demonstrated that, following directives from organizational and political leadership for universal masking, new infections fell significantly. Two of these studies46, 47 and an additional analysis of data from 200 countries that included the U.S.51 also demonstrated reductions in mortality. Another 10-site study showed reductions in hospitalization growth rates following mask mandate implementation 49. A separate series of cross-sectional surveys in the U.S. suggested that a 10% increase in self-reported mask wearing tripled the likelihood of stopping community transmission.53 An economic analysis using U.S. data found that, given these effects, increasing universal masking by 15% could prevent the need for lockdowns and reduce associated losses of up to $1 trillion or about 5% of gross domestic product.47
