The face mask discussion

[greybeard]

Professor Dolores Cahill
Masks are entirely unnecessary
Says that there has to be accountability and she is trying to set up a group that would explore this.
She wants advertising to stop.
She talks about the drive to vaccinate the whole world.
Also that the immune system is capable of being strengthened to save lives.
An enormous amount of information.
No apologies for reposting this.
She will not take the vaccine if it is made mandatory.
She will fight this in law.

The most intelligent scientists have agreed with her.

I stopped right here, at 3:48. See the screenshot below.

She's flat-out incorrect about these important aspects of both SARS-CoV-2 and EBV (the Ebola virus).

Ebola does NOT spread through the air. It absolutely does not. And SARS-CoV-2 does, which is how come so many on the cruise ships got infected despite staying in their cabins — because of the ships' ventilation systems.

She's right that it's conveyed by microdroplets, but that's one thing that masks do prevent the transmission of.

That's how come singing and shouting — as well as talking at close quarters, let alone sneezing or coughing — can infect others. It's because of the droplet transmission, unless impeded by a mask at the point of origin.

Best wishes ChrisMy "contrary information" is quite correct. :P Look it up. That's pretty easy to do. :)

Don't just accept anything that any "authority" says, no matter who they are. Take a close look what what they say, and why they may say it. Don't miss the detail.

You're picking and choosing, to fit your own ideology. You're accepting some "experts" without question, and ignoring others.

This is a complicated situation. You may have to do just a little bit more than just copy and paste YouTube videos coming into your personal feed. You have to think for yourself, as well, and double-check the information presented.

Re vaccines, everyone reading this should be well aware of my clear position. I'm not going to take any vaccine for anything at all — unless it's something like smallpox. That's rather different, and absolutely not to be messed with.

(But smallpox only exists now in secure bioweapons labs and nowhere else. If there were an "accidental" release of that, then we really would be in a truly serious situation. It has to be highly unlikely, however... I hope and believe.)

We have had mandatory face masks when leaving your home here in Melbourne for about 1 week now, and from what I have seen, most people are complying. Make of that what you will, I know some are totally against face masks and some support it, and everything in between.

I can only speak about my own experience wearing masks. I love walking. It is one of the few things I do regularly, almost daily. When I walk, I like to walk for at least 45 minutes and sometimes up to 2 hours. I like to switch my intellect off and just enjoy being out in the open. Tuning into nature and the vast spaciousness that makes it all possible is beautiful and freeing.

Twice now I have walked with a mask on, and yes, it is restrictive and uncomfortable. I couldn't really breathe properly and the first time I walked with it on, I got lightheaded and had to often pull the mask down so I could breathe better and comfort myself. I still enjoyed my walk, but the freedom I usually feel when walking was indeed hampered by the mask. Maybe because of the information I expose myself to (i.e. this forum), I did feel like a bit of a cog wearing the mask. Like I was surrendering to an agenda which wishes to control and subjugate us humans. Not a nice feeling and maybe mistaken.

I probably won't be walking much during the day anymore but will reserve my walking for the night time where I can get away with not wearing a mask or wearing it only partially so I can breathe properly. Which is a bit of a shame, as I really like seeing the trees and the blue sky during the day, but I recognize some have it more difficult, so I'm not going to complain too much :silent:

This isn't me saying you shouldn't wear a mask or that they have no place at all, just my own personal experience and feelings after having worn a mask twice now while walking.

What have other peoples experience been with wearing masks?

We're recommended to wear them where I am, as soon as you leave your home, however I personally never wear them outside, and I go out at least twice daily to walk my dog..maybe 30-40% of people where I am (coastal San Diego) wear them out walking, running or biking. I have put one on the few times I've gone into a store in the last several months. In very short order I feel dizzy, and a sense of dissociation, as though I may pass out, thus I've made my store excursions very brief. I grew up around smoking as a child and don't have great lung capacity. Psychologically I find the sight of masked people highly disturbing, and especially along with the sense of fear and avoidance coming out of many people. And there are those who glare at you in stores if they think you're face covering isn't covered enough..making me feel like I'm a woman in Saudi Arabia or Iran being modesty policed.

Some questions are, in my view, the rhetorical (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetorical_question) "sledge hammer killer questions":

Has there ever been scientific peer reviewed studies that can show any shred of real evidence that face-masks protects you or others from "killer viruses" OTHER than c0vid19? ... And what about Corona Virus which is a NAME used for decades as a COMMON VIRUS!

Lets make the question even better:

If the boxes of those (most used) face-masks clearly states it will NOT protect you from viruses and you KNOW you are a healthy person with a good immune-system, what is the "danger" of not wearing it? On what bases exactly?

... and I can come up with so many more questions like:


Since when is it "okay" to (semi-) quarantine millions of healthy people? 🌐 see: Top30-LockDown-SideEffects (http://tinyurl.com/Top30-LockDown-SideEffects)
When wearing a Burqa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burqa) is seen as a symbol of submission which was the main reason why in some countries they made it illegal to cover your face like that when you go to work ... because it is KNOWN symbol of oppression & obedience! ... Why is it assumed by some that it is not with the face-masks OBEYING what corrupt (international) institutions like the WHO & CDC dictates? ... Demanding anyone to be censored if you questioning them!

Is it feasible that part of the (artificial created/pushed/sold) crisis & mass induced fear 24/7 is to PUSH for far more Draconian Orwellian Dystopian Surveillance "Solution" to "Combat" the (obvious fake) Crisis? ... That will be just the beginning of so much more TYRANNY (http://technocracy.news) to come!

If you leave all kinds of "risks assessments" to corrupt bureaucrats, technocrats, psychopaths and over the top control freaks of all types ... you KNOW they use the "blame card" AND the "shame card" to FRAME anyone questioning their legitimacy.

Piers Corbyn: "I'm not going to wear a mask at all... it's complete madness"

Anti-mask activist Piers Corbyn has said he will not cover his face, calling the advice to do so "complete madness".

Speaking with talkRADIO's Ian Collins, the brother of ex-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn also denied that there was a coronavirus pandemic at all.

Virologist Ria Lina countered his arguments, saying: "We're going to be suffering from the after-effects of this disease for a long time to come".

When necessary I inform the door enforcer that I have just sanitised. There's never been a negative response to that but if there were I'd explain that my doctor has ordered me to use only the special sanitiser he prescribed.

I said at one charity shop that I had just 'hand sanitised' at the bank (which I had) - her reply was "do it again". Like I said, they put ogres on the door!

I won't use hand sanitiser as I believe that it is harmful to have all those chemicals entering the body through the skin, some people use it about every 5 minutes when they're out... I don't believe the plandemic hype either, I've been working on a shop floor since April with no mask and my health is fine. I look after my immune system through diet and exercise.

How crazy is it right now? When Oklahoma was at a peak of people coming down with this there were some masks, and mostly not. During Trump's rally there were some masks and many without. Many others had masks but they were pulled down. Anyway, my county in OK has not seen a new case since June 27 by the states own records but today I was the only one in the entire store without a mask on. Everyone else has one.

Yes I agree. It is totally absurd.
I made the same point over a month ago here.
Canada peaked a long long time ago and facemasks were not mandatory.
Now that the virus is almost completely gone in my province (Ontario) they are mandatory.
Look at the deaths graphs for Canada. A perfect parabola.

The CO2 levels would obviously be much smaller without a mask as the gas has the chance to dissipate.

Even the CDC doesn't seem to be able to say they are effective in slowing/stopping acquisition/transmission.

It's actually funny to see people touch their masks, put them on, take them off, pull them down around their neck, stick them in a bag/pocket....yet still feel invincible!!

Improper use of masks (touching them at all) not only makes them ineffective but makes them much more likely to increase your chances of catching whatever it is you were trying to avoid by wearing the mask in the first place.




Nonpharmaceutical Measures for Pandemic Influenza in Nonhealthcare Settings—Personal Protective and Environmental Measures
Volume 26, Number 5—May 2020

Face Masks

In our systematic review, we identified 10 RCTs that reported estimates of the effectiveness of face masks in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the community from literature published during 1946–July 27, 2018. In pooled analysis, we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.51–1.20; I2 = 30%, p = 0.25) (Figure 2). One study evaluated the use of masks among pilgrims from Australia during the Hajj pilgrimage and reported no major difference in the risk for laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infection in the control or mask group (33). Two studies in university settings assessed the effectiveness of face masks for primary protection by monitoring the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza among student hall residents for 5 months (9,10). The overall reduction in ILI or laboratory-confirmed influenza cases in the face mask group was not significant in either studies (9,10). Study designs in the 7 household studies were slightly different: 1 study provided face masks and P2 respirators for household contacts only (34), another study evaluated face mask use as a source control for infected persons only (35), and the remaining studies provided masks for the infected persons as well as their close contacts (11–13,15,17). None of the household studies reported a significant reduction in secondary laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the face mask group (11–13,15,17,34,35). Most studies were underpowered because of limited sample size, and some studies also reported suboptimal adherence in the face mask group.

Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids (36). There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.

We did not consider the use of respirators in the community. Respirators are tight-fitting masks that can protect the wearer from fine particles (37) and should provide better protection against influenza virus exposures when properly worn because of higher filtration efficiency. However, respirators, such as N95 and P2 masks, work best when they are fit-tested, and these masks will be in limited supply during the next pandemic. These specialist devices should be reserved for use in healthcare settings or in special subpopulations such as immunocompromised persons in the community, first responders, and those performing other critical community functions, as supplies permit.

In lower-income settings, it is more likely that reusable cloth masks will be used rather than disposable medical masks because of cost and availability (38). There are still few uncertainties in the practice of face mask use, such as who should wear the mask and how long it should be used for. In theory, transmission should be reduced the most if both infected members and other contacts wear masks, but compliance in uninfected close contacts could be a problem (12,34). Proper use of face masks is essential because improper use might increase the risk for transmission (39). Thus, education on the proper use and disposal of used face masks, including hand hygiene, is also needed.

Masks Cause Damage: Study Reveals Mask-Hypoxia-Blood Clot Connection

By Makia Freeman
Renegade Tribune

A serious and potentially lethal hypoxia-blood clot connection

has been found by a scientific study entitled Hypoxia downregulates protein S expression. The study, published in July 2018, describes how hypoxia (a low concentration of oxygen) decreases Protein S in the blood, a natural anticoagulant. This leads to an increased risk for the development of thrombosis or blood clots, some of which are potentially life-threatening. The study was unique in that it was the first time research had shown that hypoxia could increase blood clot risk via a molecular cause. The worldwide agenda of mask wearing rules is not only unconstitutional and unlawful in many nations, but it is also causing mass hypoxia among the general population. In addition to the hypoxia-blood clot link, hypoxia also leads to fatigue, headaches, nausea, cognitive impairment, low energy levels and decreased immunity, thus causing mass damage to the population. Meanwhile, many jurisdictions continue to rollout out mask mandates, despite the fact that a recent CDC study even concluded that masks were ineffective and offered no significant reduction in influenza transmission. Additionally, mask mandates continue to violate workplace guidelines (such as OSHA standards in the US which state the allowable oxygen levels for employees must be at or above 19.5% at all times).

The Hypoxia-Blood Clot Risk

The study is based on the fact that Protein S is a natural blood anticoagulant, since it inhibits a key clotting protein, Factor IXa. This is from the study summary:

“Because Protein S is primarily produced in the liver, the team of researchers cultured human hepatocarcinoma cells at normal oxygen and also hypoxic conditions and then measured levels of the protein. They found that increasing hypoxia not only reduced PS but also significantly increased a protein that turns on the gene to produce hypoxia. This suggested that the protein, hypoxia-inducing factor 1, might regulate Protein S, which the researchers confirmed through biochemical and genetic approaches in a mouse model.”

The study found that the level of protein S dropped by 50% when O2 levels were at 15% (instead of the normal 21%). A very well-cited article by the Oregon Dissenter entitled The lethal link between masks, hypoxia, and blood clots extrapolates this research and explains the implications:

“Just a 5% drop in blood oxygenation is considered “abnormal” but a 15% reduction will cause noticeable symptoms. These include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and cognitive impairment. Even surgeons can suffer low O2 and associated symptoms merely from wearing a surgical mask … At sea level the air we breathe is 21% oxygen. High altitude where pilots can suffer ill effects begins at even 5,000 feet. The N95 mask commonly worn eclipses that elevation; it’s well known to cause a 20% reduction in O2, which simulates the 16% O2 of 6,000 feet. As the N95 simulates a similarly low oxygen saturation, this indicates wearing a mask may decrease your natural ability to prevent blood clots by 50%. This has potentially serious implications. A web search for “blood clot covid” returns many stories about the virus-induced blood clotting and its lethality for those patients. In late June researchers in Utah discovered that platelet hyperreactivity is the cause of COVID-19 clotting.”

Let’s think about that for a moment. Some such as Dr. Robert Young have proposed that COVID is blood coagulation and not viral in nature. It’s a chicken and the egg situation, but whether hypoxia is leading to COVID, or COVID is leading to hypoxia, or one starts the downward cycle where they feed off each other, there is strong evidence of a connection – and all that is assuming that COVID is a new distinct disease (which is difficult to show given the broad vague symptoms and that SARS-CoV-2 has failed Koch’s postulates). Given this, wearing a mask is just about the worse thing you could do, infected or not, because it’s blocking your vital oxygen supply! The Oregon Dissenter continues:

“I picture people who’d otherwise survive their COVID-19 case strapping on a mask to “protect others” and essentially killing themselves … I’m sure you can identify the many problems with intentionally increasing the blood clot risk for the general population through mass compulsory masking. Already millions of people take blood thinners just to stay alive. How could it possibly be a good idea to hinder their already diminished natural clotting ability? And what about people who are unaware they have an existing clotting disorder and then wear a mask at work for hours? … Why has this extremely serious and potentially fatal side effect from wearing a mask, especially N95, not been the subject of widespread health alerts? How could any qualified health official not already know about the well established blood clot dangers of mandatory hypoxia for the masses, especially COVID-19 patients?”

Just from a health perspective alone, not even getting into the legality or ritualistic aspects or it, mask-wearing is a seriously damaging idea due to the hypoxia-blood clot connection. When will we reach the point where a critical mass of people stop complying with this insanity?

The use of MASKS in the occult world is ancient. Masks have a shock value & a fascination value. For centuries, gypsies have used them for their hypnotic powers. Special healing masks for their people are kept secret. Gypsy and other occult groups have special rituals to create the masks, including using hair clippings from the person who will wear the mask. Gypsy healing masks are destroyed after the patient gets well. Illuminati programming masks may or may not be destroyed after their use. The Illuminati's mask-making abilities are very high quality, according to deprogrammed victims of their mind-control. Sometimes the programmers simply wear halloween cartoon character masks that anyone can obtain, to fulfill their role in the programming script that they are involved in during that time.

Best choice in mask when you must wear one is NOT cloth. They don't filter and make it hard to breathe. I have had so many more migraines since having to wear masks at work.

Masks A, B, and C had a different pore size and porosity. Mask A possessed the highest pore size and porosity (P<0.05) (Figure 1B,C). Mask B possessed the lowest porosity (P<0.05) (Figure 1B). Filter efficiency and airflow resistance are depicted in Figure 2. Mask B possessed the highest filtering efficiency and lowest airflow resistance, which means mask B performed best in blocking airborne particles and provided the best air permeability, enabling the surgeons to breathe freely. On the contrary, mask C possessed the lowest filtering efficiency and highest airflow resistance, meaning it was the worst in blocking airborne particles and in air permeability, causing breathing difficulties in surgeons.

"Plainly Ayanda Capital had no pretence of ever having the expertise to undertake this kind of procurement. The excellent piece of investigative journalism (and what a delight it is to be able for once to say that) by the Times’ Billy Kenber reveals something still more horrifying.

Although Craig is no fan of the British Conservative Party and will always tilt against them, for a whole host of very reasonable reasosn much too long to go into here, it's typical of the way that our social and political elite, regardless of their political affiliation, have become so corruptible, and corrupt, that the kind of laissez-faire approach to peoples' welfare in the current health crisis manifests itself, again, as a money spinning opportunity for some.

Contemptible opportunism seems to be brazenly out front and centre everywhere we look at the moment in particular but it has always been, for ever thus.

Stinking Tory Corruption

By Craig Murray (https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2020/08/stinking-tory-corruption/) August 6th, 2020

I wrote a furious article (https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2020/07/banana-republic-corruption/) about the £250 million PPE contract inexplicably awarded to the “family office” Ayanda Capital, an investment house for private wealth tax avoidance. We now learn £150 million of face masks delivered are unusable as they do not meet the required standards.

The Times today reports (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/ministers-waste-150m-buying-unusable-masks-from-banker-5v8390xtp) the NHS year’s supply of top level “FFP2” masks for surgical and similar use – 43 million of them – delvered by Ayanda failed regulatory testing. This was entirely predictable. As I wrote on 8 July:

"
The normal public procurement tendering process has pre-qualification criteria which companies have to meet. These will normally include so many years of experience in the specific sector, employment of suitably qualified staff, possession of the required physical infrastructure and a measure of financial stability. This is perhaps obvious – otherwise you or I could simply stick in a bid to build the HS2 railway that is £10 billion cheaper than anybody else, win the contract then go and look for a builder.

Ayanda Capital would fail every single test in normal procurement criteria to supply PPE to the NHS. I can see no evidence that anybody in the company had ever seen PPE except when visiting the dentist. They appear to have no medical expertise, no established medical procurement network, no quality control inspection ability, no overseas shipment agents, no warehousing or logistics facilities. We have of course seen this before from these crooked Tories with their “emergency procurement”, with the “ferry company” with no ferries. But this – a quarter of a billion pounds – is on a whole different level.

I understand that normal procurement chains were struggling, but I would still trust any of the UK’s numerous long established and globally successful medical supply companies to go out and get the right kind of medical supplies, of the right quality, and arrange their supply and delivery, rather than throw an incredible sum of taxpayers’ cash at the first couple of City wide boys who said they can do it. From a company with a very dodgy balance sheet."

Plainly Ayanda Capital had no pretence of every having the expertise to undertake this kind of procurement. The excellent piece of investigative journalism (and what a delight it is to be able for once to say that) by the Times’ Billy Kenber reveals something still more horrifying. He says the deal was put together by a “government adviser” who is also an “adviser” to Ayanda Capital.

So there you have the answer to how this obscure and completely inappropriate company landed this massive contract; simple network corruption, with a Tory “adviser” taking a cut from both ends. It speaks volumes of how Johnson’s Tories view government; an opportunity for self-enrichment through getting their hands on the state purse. Covid-19 may seem a disaster to us, to them it is an opportunity.

Procurement regulations are suspended. Massive contracts are thrown around with no checks and no competition. Public health functions like test and trace are thrown to new start-up companies owned by their their mates instead of being run by the established public infrastructure in councils and the NHS. It is a big, money-making Tory Bonanza.

We do not just need a public inquiry. We need people to go to prison. All those involved in the Ayanda Capital PPE contract would be a good start.

Well I have identified the following music video which I think incorporates predictive programming on Coronavirus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9uSyICrtow


It is aptly titled 'Up in the Air', If you watch the video in its entirety you will see quite a few masks.... in fact a helluva of a lot. Indeed.... minute 4:57 into the video says it all.... Minute 5: 06 literally shows people spreading the virus to each other. Also stop by at 3 minutes 14 seconds into the video..... There you might perceive a corona virus subliminal on a coin/token......

... quick update on my face experiment in Arizona.

Today I went to my local Walmart with my face nappi in pocket, not brandishing my smart phone/video recorder nor did I have a noncompliance badge. I simply walked right past the masked greeter with my cart - no questions, no problems. I did my weekly shopping, spending more then I intended - had a cart full of groceries with 95% of customers wearing masks.

I counted 3 customers not wearing masks including myself. It now appears Walmart has, in fact, walked back there mask enforcing policy thanks to "TOO MANY" Woke customers refusing to acquiesce to this research proven farce.

CDC Mask-Wearing Policy Not Supported by Science

https://jennifermargulis.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Photo-courtesy-of-engin-akyurt-via-Unsplash-1536x1024.jpeg

"Editor’s note: This article argues that the CDC mask-wearing policy is not supported by science. It is written by an experienced attorney, published legal author, and knowledgeable researcher, Allison Lucas, Esq., who worked for ten years in hospital laboratories and operating rooms in some of the largest level I trauma hospitals in the country. Many of our readers have been asking for an update of this article, which we published in May. Here you go!

When coronavirus first became a concern, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) told the American people not to wear face masks. But in April 2020, the CDC did an about-face on its previous mask-wearing policy. Government officials started aggressively promoting mask-wearing in public as a means to limit the spread of COVID-19. The current recommendation by the CDC is for all people to wear cloth masks in public spaces.[1]

But the CDC’s mask-wearing policy lacks viable scientific support. It’s not supported by science. Let me explain why.

The benefits of mask-wearing by the general population are solely theoretical
The CDC asserts that cloth face coverings “are most likely to reduce the spread of COVID-19 when they are widely used by people in public settings.”[2]

This policy is balderdash. Here’s why:

The use of masks, especially cloth masks, is not supported by science
The University of Minnesota Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy calls out CDC for using bogus sources to support its revised cloth mask-wearing policy because the sources “employ very crude, non-standardized methods” and “are not relevant to cloth face coverings because they evaluate respirators or surgical masks.”[3]

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit organization of the country’s leading researchers and provides objective, science-based advice on critical issues.

In April of 2020, the National Academy published the following statement:

There are no studies of individuals wearing homemade fabric masks in the course of their typical activities. Therefore, we have only limited, indirect evidence regarding the effectiveness of such masks for protecting others, when made and worn by the general public on a regular basis. That evidence comes primarily from laboratory studies testing the effectiveness of different materials at capturing particles of different sizes.

The evidence from these laboratory filtration studies suggests that such fabric masks may reduce the transmission of larger respiratory droplets. There is little evidence regarding the transmission of small aerosolized particulates of the size potentially exhaled by asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic individuals with COVID-19. The extent of any protection will depend on how the masks are made and used. It will also depend on how mask use affects users’ other precautionary behaviors, including their use of better masks, when those become widely available. Those behavioral effects may undermine or enhance homemade fabric masks’ overall effect on public health. The current level of benefit, if any, is not possible to assess.”[4]

Other recent peer-reviewed science concurs: “There is no good evidence that [any] facemask[] protect[s] the public against infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID‐19.”[5]

Zero efficacy trials have been conducted regarding the use of cloth masks by the general public as a means to limit or prevent the spread of COVID-19.[6]

Thus, as suggested by the National Academy of Science, the current public policy that a cloth mask prevents the spread of COVID-19 is scientifically invalid.

Mask-wearing policy of limited benefit to healthcare workers
While the use of cloth masks in the general public have not been scientifically studied for effectiveness, in 2009 a study found no benefit to healthcare workers wearing medical masks to prevent the common cold.[7]

Six years later, in 2015, researchers studied the efficacy of cloth masks in hospital setting and concluded that healthcare workers “should not use cloth masks as protection against respiratory infection. Cloth masks resulted in significantly higher rates of infection than medical masks.”[8] (My emphasis.)

A more recent study from June 2020 reiterated that a cloth mask should only be considered as “a last resort” and will only offer “limited success.”[9]

In fact, after a recent review of the available research, CIDRAP determined that “[c]loth masks are ineffective as source control” and that “very poor filter and fit performance of cloth masks and very low effectiveness for cloth masks in healthcare settings lead us conclude that cloth masks offer no protection for healthcare workers inhaling infectious particles near an infected or confirmed patient.”[10] (My emphasis.)

Based upon available data, the World Health Organization does not recommend use of facemasks in the general public as a means to prevent transmission of COVID-19, stating that the

lower filtration and breathability standardized requirements, and overall expected performance, indicate that the use of non-medical masks, made of woven fabrics such as cloth, and/or non-woven fabrics, should only be considered for source control (used by infected persons) in community settings and not for prevention.” [11]

WHO’s guidance is further supported by a June 2020 study concluding that the questionable benefits of masks did not justify the use of them for healthcare workers[12] and a recent article appearing in the New England Journal of Medicine opined that:

a mask alone will not prevent health care workers with early Covid-19 from contaminating their hands and spreading the virus to patients and colleagues. Focusing on universal masking alone may, paradoxically, lead to more transmission of Covid-19 if it diverts attention from implementing more fundamental infection-control measures.”[13]

Finally, the CDC does not know COVID-19 is spread predominantly by droplets or aerosols.[14]

Any type of facemask is ineffectual if COVID-19 transmits via aerosols.[15]

Theoretical benefits of mask-wearing policy undermined by improper use
The small and theoretical benefit of any mask, cloth or otherwise, is nullified once other factors are considered.

Facemasks do not protect the wearer from getting the virus into the eyes,
People may not fit the masks properly or take them on and off hygienically, and
People wearing the mask may have a false sense of reassurance and neglect to engage in behaviors vital to reducing transmission, such as hand washing.[16]
For example, a recent article provides proper practices for donning and doffing a mask for preventing the spread of COVID-19. But the general public is not aware of these directives and people are certainly not heeding them consistently.

[I]t is important to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds prior to putting on the face mask. An alcohol-based sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol can also be used if soap and water are unavailable.

After cleaning your hands, place the face mask over your nose and mouth. Make sure there are no gaps between the face mask and your face, and ensure a tight seal. Try to avoid touching the face mask when wearing it. If you do touch the face mask, wash your hands or use hand sanitizer again. When you are done using the face mask, remove it without touching the front of the face mask, and discard it into a closed bin. Wash your hands again after discarding the face mask.”[17]

In order to provide some benefit, cloth masks must be laundered after each use.[18]

But how many Americans are actually washing their masks each day?

Perhaps it is of no consequence because it is unknown if variations in frequency and type of cleaning affect the already questionable efficacy of cloth masks.[19]

Moreover, cleaning methods and rates will inevitably vary by household, creating yet another variable affecting the tenuous efficacy of the cloth mask.[20]

Mask-wearing carries risk of tangible harm

Some argue that even if in the absence of scientific evidence, the precautionary principle requires the use of a mask—even a cloth mask. For example, see this finding that “the evidence base on the efficacy and acceptability of the different types of face mask in preventing respiratory infections during epidemics is sparse and contested” but arguing anyway that masks should be worn because “we have little to lose and potentially something to gain.”[21]

However, this narrow-sighted, fantasy ignores the real and potential harms of mask-wearing: cloth masks increase the likelihood of infection and transmission, hinder communication, limit oxygen exchange, and cause headaches.

Let’s take a closer look at these problems.

Cloth masks increase the likelihood of infection
Cloth masks increase the risk of infection to the wearer because people do not comprehend the importance of removing the mask correctly. “[P]oor doffing techniques can lead to the transfer of infectious material to the user’s hands.” [22] Moreover, a 2015 study compared the efficacy of cloth masks to medical masks in hospital healthcare workers. Healthcare workers who elected to wear cloth masks were directed to wash and dry the mask after daily use. Even so, the authors advised against the use of cloth masks because “moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks, and poor filtration may result in an increased risk of infection.”[23]

The authors elaborate that the:

…virus may survive on the surface of the facemasks, and modelling studies have quantified the contamination levels of masks.” Self-contamination through repeated use and improper doffing is possible. For example, a contaminated cloth mask may transfer pathogen from the mask to the bare hands of the wearer. We also showed that filtration was extremely poor (almost 0%) for the cloth masks. [24]

Cloth masks increase the likelihood of transmission
Cloth masks, such as cotton masks, do not trap the virus, and particles can be detected on the outer surface of the masks for up to 7 days.

“A pre‐symptomatic or mildly infected person wearing a facemask for hours without changing it and without washing hands every time they touched the mask could paradoxically increase the risk of infecting others.”[25]

Reused and reusable masks have the potential to harbor bacteria[26]
To my knowledge, no study has been conducted to refute this finding. The general public is not professionally trained in the practices of medical hygiene and universal precautions. On the contrary, all the above-cited studies were performed on healthcare workers in a medical setting. Healthcare workers’ health, livelihood, and patient well-being depend on constant use of universal precautions and other forms of personal protective equipment such as gloves. Yet, even in the ideal conditions provided in the studies, masks provided either no benefit or increased the risk of virus transmission.

Masks hinder facial expression and nonverbal communication
Covering the face is detrimental for adequate social connection because “[f]acial expressions are one of the more important aspects of human communication. The face is responsible for communicating not only thoughts or ideas, but also emotions.”[27] A 2013 study found that facemasks “had a significant and negative effect on patients’ perceptions of the doctors’ empathy.”[28] Also, consider that:

[E]very time you interact with another person [] the two of you subconsciously and subtly reflect each other’s facial expressions. By mirroring the other person’s expressions, you not only signal you are engaged and participating, but it’s also a kind of feedback loop that helps you empathize. If you hinder your ability to do that even slightly, you’re changing the social dynamic between you and the other person” and “we might be grossly underestimating just how powerful our facial expressions are,” [] We have to recognize how informationally rich facial feedback is and when we block it, we are cutting off a major channel about our own emotions and information about social emotions.”[29]

Mask-wearing eliminates an importation form of communication and social interaction and will have a substantial negative impact on everyone; however, the people who already struggle with communication and social interaction will disproportionately carry the weight.

Masks limit oxygen exchange
Masks lower blood oxygen levels[30] and raise carbon dioxide blood levels.[31] For further consideration, see:
“Two Chinese boys drop dead during PE lessons while wearing face masks amid concerns over students’ fitness following three months of school closure”[32]

“Student deaths stir controversy over face mask rule in PE classes”[33]

and “Jogger’s lung collapses after he ran for 2.5 miles while wearing a face mask”[34]

We also know that mask-wearing can alter breathing physiology by increasing nasal congestion.[35]

Masks cause headaches or exacerbate headache disorders
The prolonged use of masks has been shown to cause headaches or exacerbate pre‐existing headache disorders.[36],[37]

A hand-washing policy, not a mask-wearing policy is an appropriate and scientifically sound mitigating measure
Respiratory viruses are transmitted more commonly via contact than droplet, and the control measure to reduce the spread of respiratory viruses should, therefore, focus on contact precaution.

In fact, “[t]he single most important protective measure is hand washing, rather than mask wearing.”[38]

So, it is no surprise that during the 2009 swine flu pandemic, “encouraging the public to wash their hands reduced the incidence of infection significantly whereas wearing facemasks did not.”[39]

The CDC used crude science to support its mask-wearing policy
Wishful thinking is the basis for mask-wearing by the general public, not science. This public policy was born of fear and anxiety, as noted in “Universal Masking in Hospitals in the Covid-19 Era”:

masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are not only tools, they are also talismans that may help increase health care workers’ perceived sense of safety, well-being, and trust in their hospitals. Although such reactions may not be strictly logical, we are all subject to fear and anxiety, especially during times of crisis. One might argue that fear and anxiety are better countered with data and education than with a marginally beneficial mask, particularly in light of the worldwide mask shortage, but it is difficult to get clinicians to hear this message in the heat of the current crisis. Expanded masking protocols’ greatest contribution may be to reduce the transmission of anxiety, over and above whatever role they may play in reducing transmission of COVID-19.[40]

Even if a mask serves as a security blanket to some during unsettling times, we deserve sound public policy measures that account for actual benefits and tangible harms.

The leading medical agency in the county does not get to use a talisman and call it science or sound public policy.

So, what happens when the CDC uses crude science to support public policy?

You take notice.

You realize government agencies are fallible.

You become discerning.

You question if other CDC policies are based on junk science.

You read this and this and determine that they are."

"A Nashville, TN councilwoman has proposed charging anyone not wearing a mask with either murder or attempted murder. Is it any wonder violence, anger, and fear is spreading even as coronavirus deaths continue to decline? Why are they doing this? Also today, dentists report a surge in cavities and gum disease among people wearing masks. Kansas health official busted faking charts to falsely inflate effectiveness of mask-wearing. Big motorcycle rally in South Dakota - no masks!"

"...employees wearing masks while video conferencing with external partners sets a good example during the pandemic..."


Employees need masks even for at-home Zoom calls, Wisconsin agency says. Here’s why
BY TJ MACIAS
AUGUST 10, 2020 06:32 PM
(https://www.star-telegram.com/news/coronavirus/article244861827.html#storylink=mainstage_lead)

Some Wisconsin state officials aren’t fooling around when it comes to the spread of COVID-19.

In an email to employees sent out on July 31, the head of Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources not only reminded employees of Gov. Tony Evers’ mask order going into effect on Aug. 1, he also said that every DNR employee must wear a mask ... even while on a teleconference.

“Also, wear your mask, even if you are home, to participate in a virtual meeting that involves being seen — such as on Zoom or another video-conferencing platform — by non-DNR staff,” Preston Cole said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “Set the safety example which shows you as a DNR public service employee care about the safety and health of others.”

Evers’ executive order said that face coverings are required to be worn whenever a person is in an enclosed space — other than a private residence.

DNR spokeswoman Megan Sheridan spoke with McClatchy News and said that employees wearing masks while video conferencing with external partners sets a good example during the pandemic.

“By wearing a mask while video conferencing with the general public, we visually remind folks that masking is an important part of navigating the business of natural resources during this tumultuous time,” Sheridan said.

New Health Problems Emerging from Continuous Mask Wearing, but “Attempted Murder” Charges Sought for Those Who Refuse to Wear Masks

https://vaccineimpact.com/2020/new-health-problems-emerging-from-continuous-mask-wearing-but-attempted-murder-charges-sought-for-those-who-refuse-to-wear-masks/

Comments by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

"The NY Post published an article recently interviewing dentists who are claiming:

“We’re seeing inflammation in people’s gums that have been healthy forever, and cavities in people who have never had them before,” says Dr. Rob Ramondi, a dentist and co-founder of One Manhattan Dental. “About 50% of our patients are being impacted by this, [so] we decided to name it ‘mask mouth’ — after ‘meth mouth.’ ”

There is so much news on the topic of mandatory masks, that it is hard to keep up with it all. Countries and other large areas that do NOT mandate face masks are actually seeing FEWER new cases of COVID. (See the Liberty Report show video below.)

In Nashville, a Council Member has publicly stated that people who refuse to comply with government edicts to wear masks should be charged with murder or attempted murder. (Source https://tennesseestar.com/2020/08/09/metro-nashville-council-member-wants-people-not-wearing-a-mask-to-be-charged-with-murder-or-attempted-murder/ )

When are people going to wake up to the face mask scam?

Tyrants dictate their use, mainly for motives of profit (see: Booming Face Mask Business in U.S. Creating Instant Millionaires Using Government Funds to Buy Masks from China https://healthimpactnews.com/2020/booming-face-mask-business-in-u-s-creating-instant-millionaires-using-government-funds-to-buy-masks-from-china/) or social engineering, and people don’t seem to be intelligent enough to ask basic questions about these mask mandates, such as, if they are actually effective, then what type of mask? How does one dispose of them as bio-hazard waste? How often should one be worn before discarded?, etc.

The evidence is overwhelming now: face masks are harming people and protecting nobody.

Dr. Ron Paul covers these issues, and he has also written a new article about the rapid loss of civil rights as the police state tightens it grip on the public.

Coronavirus is the New ‘Terrorism’
by Dr. Ron Paul
Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has proposed the next multi-trillion dollar “coronavirus relief” spending bill that will support testing, tracing, treatment, isolation, and mask policies that have been part of a “national strategic plan” she has been advocating.

The Trump administration is not opposing Pelosi’s plan on principle. Instead, it is haggling over the price.

But, even if the strategic plan could be implemented at little or no monetary cost, it would still impose an unacceptable cost in lost liberty.

Pelosi’s plan will lead to either a federal mask mandate or federal funding of state and local mask mandate enforcement. Those who resist wearing masks could likely be reported to the authorities by government-funded mask monitors.

We can label this the “Stasi” approach to health policy, after the infamous East German secret police force.

Contact tracing could lead to forcing individuals to download a tracing app. The app would record where an individual goes and alert authorities that an individual has been near someone who has tested positive for coronavirus.

The strategic plan could eventually include Bill Gates’ and Anthony Fauci’s suggestion that individuals receive “digital certificates” indicating they are vaccinated for or immune to coronavirus.

A certificate would be required before an individual can go to work, to school, or even to the grocery store.

The need to demonstrate vaccination for or immunity to coronavirus in order to resume normal life would cause many people to “voluntarily” receive a potentially dangerous coronavirus vaccine.

The Trump administration has already spent billions of dollars to support efforts of companies to develop a coronavirus vaccine. Policymakers have stated that once a vaccine is developed it will be rushed into production and onto the market.

Supporters of expediting production and use of a vaccine should remember the 1976 swine flu vaccine debacle. The swine flu vaccine was rushed into production in response to political pressure to “do something.”

The result was a vaccine that was more of a danger than the flu.

Unfortunately, those who raise legitimate concerns regarding the safety of vaccines are smeared as “conspiracy theorists.” This is the equivalent of stating that anyone who dares criticize our interventionist foreign policy “hates freedom” and is probably a “terrorist sympathizer.”

Unique Patient Identifier
The coronavirus panic has given new life to the push for a unique patient identifier. The unique patient identifier was authorized in 1996, but appropriations bills since 1998 have contained a provision forbidding the federal government from developing and implementing the identifier.

Unfortunately, two weeks ago, the House of Representatives voted to repeal the ban. The unique patient identifier would aid government efforts to track and vaccinate every American, as well as to infringe in other ways on liberty in the name of “health.”

Politicians and bureaucrats cannot eliminate a virus any more than they can eliminate terrorism. What they can do is use terrorism, a virus, and other real, exaggerated, or manufactured crises to expand their power at the expense of our liberty.

Politicians will never resist the temptation to use crises as excuses to gain more power. Therefore, it is up to those of us who know the truth to spread the message of liberty and grow the liberty movement.

A strong liberty movement is the only thing that can force the politicians to stop stealing our liberty while promising phantom security from terrorists and viruses."

Australian Exceptions for not wearing a face covering

Lawful excuses or exceptions for not wearing a face covering

A face covering is not required in some circumstances including:


Infants and children under the age of 12 years.
A person who is affected by a relevant medical condition, including problems with their breathing, a serious condition of the face, a disability or a mental health condition.
Persons who are deaf or hard of hearing, where the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication.
Persons for whom wearing a face covering would create a risk to that person’s health and safety related to their work, as determined through OH&S guidelines.
Persons whose professions require clear enunciation or visibility of their mouth. This includes teaching or live broadcasting.
Professional sportspeople when training or competing.
If you are working on your own property with members of your household, but no staff or contractors are on site.
When you are doing any exercise or physical activity where you are out of breath or puffing. Examples include jogging or running, but not walking. You must carry a face covering on you and wear it when you finish exercising.
When directed to remove the face covering to ascertain identity.
When you are travelling in a vehicle by yourself or with other members of your household.
When consuming food, drink or medication, including when seated at a restaurant where permitted.
When undergoing dental treatment or other medical care to the extent that the procedure requires that no face covering may be worn.
During emergencies.

You must carry a face covering with you when leaving home, even if you don’t need to wear it while undertaking your current activity. For example, you can take your face covering off to eat or while you are running, but you must carry it with you and put it back on when you finish.

I have a medical condition that prevents me from wearing a face covering, do I need a medical certificate stating I don’t need to wear a face covering?

You do not need a medical certificate stating that you have a lawful reason for not wearing a face covering. If you have a lawful reason for not wearing a face covering, you do not need to apply for an exemption or permit.
If you are stopped by police, they will ask you to confirm the lawful reason you are not wearing a face covering.

Do I have to wear a face covering if I have asthma?

People with asthma or people who have a medical condition that includes problems with their breathing, do not have to wear face coverings.

It FINALLY dawned on me today after hearing about the Nashville Council Member who publicly stated that "people who refuse to comply with government edicts to wear masks should be charged with murder or attempted murder" that there must be huge teams mobilized around the world being funded (paid a handsome dollar) to divide and conquer the population
with these absurd measures!

It all makes perfect sense now. TPTB have got the big bucks and there are millions of people that are more than willing to make a tidy sum during this plandemic by playing for their team.

UNMASKING THE MASKS AGENDA
8/13/20
https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/unmasking-the-masks-agenda/

"“Unmasking the Masks Agenda” is the latest Special Report written by James Grundvig and presented by John Michael Chambers on the new YouTube channel, Making Sense of the Madness.

Three years before the first cases of SARS-Cov-2 broke out in Wuhan, China last October, contact tracing cellphone apps were in development and were already being stealthily installed on most cellphones.

These apps inspired House Bill 6666: COVID-19 Testing, Reaching and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act, which would “allocate $100 billion in grants for organizations to perform testing for COVID–19, tracing of exposure to COVID–19, or services for individuals who are isolating at home…”

HR 6666 had been designed in August 2019 during an meeting held in Rwanda sponsored by the Aspen Institute and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, long before anyone had ever heard of SARS-Cov-2 or Covid-19.

HR 6666 was introduced to Congress on May 1st, 2020, sponsored by Illinois Congressman Bobby Rush, Co-Founder of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panthers, the notorious Marxist political organization.

HR 6666 brings the same invasive surveillance we all experience on the Internet into our day-to-day life, tracing all of our contacts with others. The Trojan Horse of the CDC’s swab test moves beyond capturing the virus. Despite 50% false positive test rates, contaminated test kits and corrupt labs that juice the numbers, in order to extend the lockdowns, swab tests allow health officials to collect peoples’ DNA en masse, so they can be analyzed and mined for an unknown purpose in the future.

But the most controlling, invasive tool of them all are the masks. Ignoring medical science, corporate leaders and sold-out politicians are demanding a national mask mandate 6 months into the outbreak, when many areas are well below the CDC epidemic threshold.

What purposes do the masks serve, if they don’t protect people’s health and they depress the immune system?

Grundvig says the masks are the Swiss Army knife of the architects’ tool box; 1. They control people and make them subservient. 2. They allow AI face recognition software to identify people with masks on and off; 3. They prevent full communication using facial expression.

He says masks are tools of control and bondage. Their purpose is to ostracize those who refuse to wear them and to incentivize some to snitch on others. He believes it’s obedience training, acclimatizing everyone to the inevitable forced vaccinations next year.

The end goal of masks is to make you fall in line and to roll up your sleeves in the biggest biological experiment in history."

Face masks, lies, damn lies, and public health officials: “A growing body of evidence” (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/343399832_Face_masks_lies_damn_lies_and_public_health_officials_A_growing_body_of_evidence)
Denis G. Rancourt, PhD Researcher, Ontario Civil Liberties Association (ocla.ca)

Working report (not submitted for journal publication),
published at Research Gate (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/D_Rancourt)
3 August 2020

Abstract
A vile new mantra is on the lips of every public health official and politician in the global campaign to force universal masking on the general public: “there is a growing body of evidence”.

his propagandistic phrase is a vector designed to achieve five main goals:
- Give the false impression that a balance of evidence now proves that masks reduce the transmission of COVID-19
- Falsely assimilate commentary made in scientific venues with “evidence” - Hide the fact that a decade’s worth of policy-grade evidence proves the opposite: that masks are ineffective with viral respiratory diseases
- Hide the fact that there is now direct observational proof that cloth masks do not prevent exhalation of clouds of suspended aerosol particles; above, below and through the masks
- Deter attention away from the considerable known harms and risks due to face masks, applied to entire populations The said harms and risks include that a cloth mask becomes a culture medium for a large variety of bacterial pathogens, and a collector of viral pathogens; given the hot and humid environment and the constant source, where home fabrics are hydrophilic whereas medical masks are hydrophobic.

In short, I argue: op-eds are not “evidence”, irrelevance does not help, and more bias does not remove bias. Their mantra of “a growing body of evidence” is a self-serving contrivance that impedes good science and threatens public safety. I prove that there is no policy-grade evidence to support forced masking on the general population, and that all the latest-decade’s policy-grade evidence points to the opposite: NOT recommending forced masking of the general population. Therefore, the politicians and health authorities are acting without legitimacy and recklessly.continue

Low-cost measurement of facemask efficacy for filtering expelled droplets during speech

https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/08/07/sciadv.abd3083


Abstract
Mandates for mask use in public during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, worsened by global shortage of commercial supplies, have led to widespread use of homemade masks and mask alternatives. It is assumed that wearing such masks reduces the likelihood for an infected person to spread the disease, but many of these mask designs have not been tested in practice. We have demonstrated a simple optical measurement method to evaluate the efficacy of masks to reduce the transmission of respiratory droplets during regular speech. In proof-of-principle studies, we compared a variety of commonly available mask types and observed that some mask types approach the performance of standard surgical masks, while some mask alternatives, such as neck fleece or bandanas, offer very little protection. Our measurement setup is inexpensive and can be built and operated by non-experts, allowing for rapid evaluation of mask performance during speech, sneezing, or coughing.

In general, the term ‘face mask’ governs a wide range of protective equipment with the primary function of reducing the transmission of particles or droplets. The most common application in modern medicine is to provide protection to the wearer (e.g., first responders), but surgical face masks were originally introduced to protect surrounding persons from the wearer, such as protecting patients with open wounds against infectious agents from the surgical team (3), or the persons surrounding a tuberculosis patient from contracting the disease via airborne droplets (4). This latter role has been embraced by multiple governments and regulatory agencies (5), since COVID-19 patients can be asymptomatic but contagious for many days (6). The premise of protection from infected persons wearing a mask is simple: wearing a face mask will reduce the spread of respiratory droplets containing viruses. In fact, recent studies suggest that wearing face masks reduces the spread of COVID-19 on a population level, and consequently blunts the growth of the epidemic curve (7, 8). Still, determining mask efficacy is a complex topic that is still an active field of research (see for example (9)), made even more complicated because the infection pathways for COVID-19 are not yet fully understood and are complicated by many factors such as the route of transmission, correct fit and usage of masks, and environmental variables. From a public policy perspective, shortages in supply for surgical face masks and N95 respirators, as well as concerns about their side effects and the discomfort of prolonged use (10), have led to public use of a variety of solutions which are generally less restrictive (such as homemade cotton masks or bandanas), but usually of unknown efficacy. While some textiles used for mask fabrication have been characterized (11), the performance of actual masks in a practical setting needs to be considered. The work we report here describes a measurement method that can be used to improve evaluation in order to guide mask selection and purchase decisions.

A schematic and demonstration image are shown in Fig. 1. In brief, an operator wears a face mask and speaks into the direction of an expanded laser beam inside a dark enclosure. Droplets that propagate through the laser beam scatter light, which is recorded with a cell phone camera. A simple computer algorithm is used to count the droplets in the video. The required hardware for these measurements is commonly available; suitable lasers and optical components are accessible in hundreds of research laboratories or can be purchased for less than $200, and a standard cell phone camera can serve as a recording device. The experimental setup is simple and can easily be built and operated by non-experts.


Below we describe the measurement method and demonstrate its capabilities for mask testing. In this application, we do not attempt a comprehensive survey of all possible mask designs or a systematic study of all use cases. We merely demonstrated our method on a variety of commonly available masks and mask alternatives with one speaker, and a subset of these masks were tested with four speakers. Even from these limited demonstration studies, important general characteristics can be extracted by performing a relative comparison between different face masks and their transmission of droplets.

Results
We tested 14 commonly available masks or masks alternatives, one patch of mask material, and a professionally fit-tested N95 mask (see Fig. 2 and Table 1 for details). For reference, we recorded control trials where the speaker wore no protective mask or covering. Each test was performed with the same protocol. The camera was used to record a video of approximately 40 s length to record droplets emitted while speaking. The first 10 s of the video serve as baseline. In the next 10 s, the mask wearer repeated the sentence “Stay healthy, people” five times (speech), after which the camera kept recording for an additional 20 s (observation). For each mask and for the control trial, this protocol was repeated 10 times. We used a computer algorithm (see Materials and Methods) to count the number of particles within each video.

Snipped

We noticed that speaking through some masks (particularly the neck fleece) seemed to disperse the largest droplets into a multitude of smaller droplets (see Supplementary Fig. S5), which explains the apparent increase in droplet count relative to no mask in that case. Considering that smaller particles are airborne longer than large droplets (larger droplets sink faster), the use of such a mask might be counterproductive. Furthermore, the performance of the valved N95 mask is likely affected by the exhalation valve, which opens for strong outwards airflow. While the valve does not compromise the protection of the wearer, it can decrease protection of persons surrounding the wearer. In comparison, the performance of the fitted, non-valved N95 mask was far superior.

I went to a sports bar today... (Dallas, Texas, USA) - there were a good 3 dozen or more cars parked outside so I anticipated the place to be pretty packed. As I approached the door a big bold sign said, "You must wear a mask to enter!"

Only because I am needing to meet a friend and don't want to risk getting thrown out, I throw mine on as I open the door and enter. Once I stepped inside I saw what I expected... the place was pretty packed. But then I noticed what I did not expect. No one... I mean NO ONE was wearing a mask (as I quickly removed mine). I saw my friend and as I approached him, I asked within ear shot of the bar tender, "What gives? The sign said we had to have a mask." The bartender (also not wearing a mask) must have heard me and turned to me and said... "Did you read the sign carefully? You only have to wear the mask on entering... after that, you're free to do as you wish with your mask!"

Hahaha

Personally I have no strong feeling either way about whether to wear a mask or not. However, if I did have to take a view at all it would be that under no circumstances should they be mandated. Well informed persons should be able to make a sensible choice, for themselves.

This whole face mask issue has reminded me since the very beginning of this Dr. Seuss story.

https://bowmanatbrooks.weebly.com/uploads/8/3/8/3/8383240/the-sneetches.pdf


THE SNEETCHESby Theodor Geisel (1961) Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches Had bellies with stars. The Plain-Belly Sneetches Had none upon thars. Those stars weren't so big. They were really so small You might think such a thing wouldn't matter at all. But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches Would brag, "We're the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches." With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they'd snort “We'll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!" And whenever they met some, when they were out walking, They'd hike right on past them without even talking. When the Star-Belly children went out to play ball, Could a Plain-Belly get in the game...? Not at all. You could only play if your bellies had stars And the Plain-Belly children had none upon thars. When the Star-Belly Sneetches had frankfurter roasts Or picnics or parties or marshmallow toasts, They never invited the Plain-Belly Sneetches. They left them out cold, in the dark of the beaches. They kept them away. Never let them come near. And that's how they treated them year after year. Then ONE day, it seems...while the Plain-Belly Sneetches Were moping and doping alone on the beaches, Just sitting there wishing their bellies had stars... A stranger zipped up in the strangest of cars! "My friends," he announced in a voice clear and keen, "My name is Sylvester McMonkey McBean. And I've heard of your troubles. I've heard you're unhappy. But I can fix that. I'm the Fix-it-Up Chappie. I've come here to help you. I have what you need. And my prices are low. And I work at great speed. And my work is one hundred per cent guaranteed!" Then, quickly, Sylvester McMonkey McBean Put together a very peculiar machine. And he said, "You want stars like a Star-Belly Sneetch...? My friends, you can have them for three dollars each!”
“Just pay me your money and hop right aboard!" So they clambered inside. Then the big machine roared And it clonked. And it bonked. And it jerked. And it berked And it bopped them about. But the thing really worked! When the Plain-Belly Sneetches popped out, they had stars! They actually did. They had stars upon thars! Then they yelled at the ones who had stars from the start, "We're exactly like you! You can't tell us apart. We're all just the same, now, you snooty old smarties! And now we can go to your frankfurter parties." "Good grief!" groaned the ones who had stars at the first. "We're still the best Sneetches and they are the worst. But, now, how in the world will we know," they all frowned, "If which kind is what, or the other way round?" Then up came McBean with a very sly wink And he said, "Things are not quite as bad as you think. So you don't know who's who. That’s perfectly true. But come with me, friends. Do you know what I'll do? I'll make you, again, the best Sneetches on beaches And all it will cost you is ten dollars eaches.” Belly stars are no longer in style," said McBean. "What you need is a trip through my Star-Off machine. This wondrous contraption will take off your stars So you won't look like Sneetches who have them on thars." And that handy machine Working very precisely Removed all the stars from their tummies quite nicely. Then, with snoots in the air, they paraded about And they opened their beaks and they let out a shout, "We know who is who! Now there isn't a doubt. The best kind of Sneetches are Sneetches without!" Then, of course, those with stars all got frightfully mad. To be wearing a star now was frightfully bad. Then, of course, old Sylvester McMonkey McBean Invited them into his Star-Off Machine. Then, of course from then on, as you probably guess, Things really got into a horrible mess. All the rest of that day, on those wild screaming beaches, The Fix-it-Up Chappie kept fixing up Sneetches. Off again! On again!
In again! Out again! Through the machines they raced round and about again, Changing their stars every minute or two. They kept paying money. They kept running through Until neither the Plain nor the Star-Bellies knew Whether this one was that one...or that one was this one Or which one was what one...or what one was who. Then, when every last cent Of their money was spent, The Fix-it-Up Chappie packed up And he went. And he laughed as he drove In his car up the beach, "They never will learn. No. You can't teach a Sneetch!" But McBean was quite wrong. I'm quite happy to say The Sneetches got really quite smart on that day, The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches And no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches. That day, all the Sneetches forgot about stars And whether they had one, or not, upon thars.

Face masks make you stupid

Why face masks are a form of dehumanisation
By
Patrick Fagan (https://thecritic.co.uk/author/patrick-fagan/)

28 July, 2020

https://thecritic.co.uk/face-masks-make-you-stupid/


In Joost Meerloo’s analysis of false confessions and totalitarian regimes, The Rape of the Mind, he coins a phrase for the ‘dumbing down’ of critical resistance – menticide. “In the totalitarian regime,” he wrote, “the doubting, inquisitive, and imaginative mind has to be suppressed. The totalitarian slave is only allowed to memorise, to salivate when the bell rings.”

Neolithic man had a similar problem dealing with his livestock. Homo sapiens’ success has relied not insignificantly on cattle – their dairy, meat, leather and manure. Yet the cow’s ancestor, the auroch, was quite a different beast. It was fast, aggressive and dangerous – hardly conducive to be corralled into predictable channels of behaviour. So, about 10,500 years ago, man started to deliberately breed the most docile aurochs for domestication.

The key word here is docile, which comes from the Latin docere, meaning “to teach” (as does, say, ‘doctorate’ and ‘document’). Being docile means being compliant and following commands, which means submitting to a system of thought.

Whereas animals, however, typically need to be bred to have a higher level of reasoning to be taught commands, human beings, already being quite smart, need to be dumbed down. You won’t disobey an order if you lack the cognitive ability to question it. This is particularly pertinent to the smooth running of a modern world system which relies on millions of individual souls, each with their own nuanced life history and perspective, thinking and acting in the same way.

The empirical literature has shown that compliance and suggestibility are negatively related to intelligence (e.g., Gudjonsson, 1991). In consumer psychology, there is even a technique called ‘disrupt-then-reframe’: bamboozle people first and they’ll be more likely to buy what you’re selling (Davis & Knowles, 1999). Ultimately, the common denominator for increasing suggestibility is switching off executive function in the prefrontal cortex – disabling the superego, the conscience, the internal monologue. Without Jiminy Cricket on his shoulder, Pinocchio would never have become a real boy – he would have always remained a puppet. Modern society is shot through with things that make us similarly dumb (literally, unable to speak).

The effect of television, for example, as Meerloo wrote, is to “catch the mind directly, giving people no time for calm, dialectical conversation with their own minds.” The mind-numbing, irrational effect of visual communication has been recognised throughout history. Not for nothing did religions talk about the word of God and forbid graven images. Unsurprisingly, empirical studies showing that watching television makes you stupid in both the short- and long-term (Hoang et al., 2016; Lillard & Peterson, 2011)

We understand the claims made in our previous video wasn’t substantiated with enough data! So here we are trying to explain to you’ll what the reality of the situation is and the reason behind making that video. The lack of awareness in our country with the fabricated narrative has to be debunked if we wish to have any sort of freedom or progress in the future. Making things mandatory is not about our health it’s about changing the fabric of human society! There is no concrete scientific evidence for it or any data showing that it’s made a difference! It’s only making things go from bad to worse! It’s our responsibility as well informed citizens to bring this message out for our fellow citizens! Please watch, share, question and do your own research apart from the mainstream narrative!

Peter Hitchens: There's a great contempt for freedom.

Columnist Peter Hitchens has told talkRADIO of the sense of irony that Brits would be angry over freedom of speech due to the BBC's ruling of Rule Britannia, but not be angry over face masks.

I started to grow my beard again and was wondering if it could be used as a facemask?
It seems to be quite effective at masking my face. :)

Personally I have no strong feeling either way about whether to wear a mask or not. However, if I did have to take a view at all it would be that under no circumstances should they be mandated. Well informed persons should be able to make a sensible choice, for themselves.

The two doctors who signed off on this newspaper cutting are FRCS, an abbreviation for Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, the highest award that a Medical Royal College bestows on its members. In short, they know their stuff :highfive:

Russel Blaylock: Face Masks Pose Serious Risks to the Healthy

https://www.sott.net/article/434290-Russel-Blaylock-Face-Masks-Pose-Serious-Risks-to-the-Healthy

Part of this article is translated in french with title "The mortal danger of face masks" and I am going to hand it out in a local town and in the postbox of doctors. I have a difficult time to cross so many persons walking around with masks in the streets and not questioning them about it. They mostly do it under the threat of receiving a fine or to play it safe. Especially disturbing is the lack of debate in society about the uncertainty if the children will have to wear a mask all day in the classes that are about to resume. What a regression of freedom and without doubt a traumatic memory it will be for this generation.

[aceninja]

The actual reason for widespread use of masks is NOT to prevent you from getting COVID. It is to prevent YOU from spreading COVID to someone else in case you are carrying the virus. It is the opposite of what most people think.

If you are COVID+ you are spreading the virus to other people when you do not wear a mask whether or not you are aware of symptoms. There is an incubation period so you can be infected and spreading the virus for several days before your symptoms actually present themselves.

I just do not understand why this is so difficult for people to at lease sympathize with... forgive my frustration.


I do not, and I tell people not to bother.

The surgical masks are designed to keep you from "speaking moistly" on people. They are designed to keep the user from spitting out germ laden particles onto others. The blue inner material is different from the white outer material for this purpose. The proper usage is to put one on, conduct your immediate business where you want to keep your "moistness" from getting onto the subject, then immediately discarded.

Healthcare workers and sick people should be the only ones wearing them - to prevent the spread of their germs (Healthcare workers are also of greatest risk of having infection but not knowing it - they need the masks for this purpose as well)

The issues with wearing them are these: You get a false sense of security - viruses can just as easily get into your eyes -- so if you are going to wear a mask, might as well wear a blindfold too, else you aren't really doing much.

Wearing a mask all day just collects spit and germs that you are constantly breathing through - this is gross and not hygienic - they are intended for shorter term use.

Wearing a mask makes your face sweat and itch -- this greatly increases your chances of touching your face to adjust it and scratch the itches, and if you also wear gloves, I bet you don't wash your gloves all the time --- they're just collecting dirt and germs that you will touch your face with - gross and unhelpful.

So no, I do not and will not wear masks for logical reasoning of understanding what they do and don't do. My take is they are generally unhelpful and may increase your risk.


I'm not sure who these "scientists" are that say you should be wearing them (as per the linked article) ... almost all healthcare experts and doctors in Canada are recommending against wearing them.

[aceninja]

What about all the nurses and doctors who wear them?

Also, face masks were never meant to be worn for long periods of time...

If you need to go to the grocery store, just wear a mask as a precaution to not spread the virus just in case you were exposed. By the time you show symptoms you’ve been spreading the virus for at least a couple days.

I'm not sure who these "scientists" are that say you should be wearing them (as per the linked article) ... almost all healthcare experts and doctors in Canada are recommending against wearing them.

Asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic people are not coughing, sneezing, excreting mucous, etc. which prompted the WHO to actually claim that there is little evidence of asymptomatic people actually spreading the virus. I know that that didn't align with the "narrative" and their statement has been debated, but it aligns with the fact that viruses require quite a "personal" transfer from person to person from within droplets that originate from coughing, sneezing, or mucous from nose or eyes.

Keep in mind, that at the time I wrote that (several months ago), the mask "narrative" was 100% different - it was being claimed by the politicians and "experts" that you need to wear masks to protect yourself at that time. The narrative has now 100% flipped, as though the use of masks was the only variable that could not be changed, despite the scores of scientific peer reviewed articles in scientific publications that studied masks effects on viral spreading, indicating that it probably isn't effective.

One of the best ways to prevent transmission as was initially told to us, was to "not touch your face" - remember that one? It was preached consistently until the mask mandates started coming in. I have noticed that now not a word is said on that ... why? I'm not sure but I do know it opposes the apparent desired narrative that we "must" wear masks, just like the flip on the reasoning. Its interesting when you analyze it completely objectively.

Let's get back to "not touching your face". When you wear a mask you touch your face usually a few times per minute to scratch an itch, adjust the positioning, habit, etc. This is probably a 10x to 100x more often than not wearing one. Why is this fact along with the fact that as they preached earlier this year, "not touching your face is the best way to avoid getting it" not a major contradiction that needs to be put to scrutiny? Is it because virtue signalling is so effective these days that humans will easily try to police other humans with it, reducing the effort that is needed for total compliance with the narrative? It looks that way to me ...

If you prefer to wear a mask, and you think it is the best thing for you, go for it. I wouldn't be so presumptuous to tell people what they can and can not do.

If I do get it and need to be around people, I have no issues wearing a mask.


“We have a number of reports from countries who are doing very detailed contact tracing. They’re following asymptomatic cases, they’re following contacts and they’re not finding secondary transmission onward. It’s very rare ..." -- Dr Kerkhove, WHO

Do Face Masks Work? 8 Peer-Reviewed Studies
September 06, 2020
By Rez Karim

Strange though as it may seem, we feel nervous writing this report. Nervous that Google,
Twitter, Facebook etc. might deem our site ‘less trustworthy’ or something similar. Nervous
because we could very well become victims of internet censorship perpetrated by the Tech
giants like Google et al for touching such a hot button issue with a hint of skepticism. We
feel nervous because we fear imminent attacks by the so-called ‘fact checkers’. Attacks on
our good name because we refuse to tow the establishment line on this subject of acute
public interest.

Indeed, we live in a strange time when open discussions on extremely important public
health issues became taboo. Authoritarian censorship became our New Normal. While
authorities around the world mandate face masks, we remain prohibited from discussing
its pros and cons.

Therefore, in this article we refrain from interjecting any of our own ‘non-expert’ opinions
into this debate. We avoid opposing the so-called experts on mainstream media with any
of our own viewpoints.

Instead, we simply present 8 peer reviewed academic studies on surgical & cloth masks
published on PubMed.gov; and let you the reader draw your own conclusions.

Thanks John for that sensible response and I agree totally about playing them at their game. My decision not to wear a mask was not solely based on your post though as I have been pondering this for a long time now!

Please be assured that if I get dragged off by the goons and fined or whatever I will not be coming back crying to you! I do appreciate your concern very much.

I have a friend who refuses to wear a mask and when questioned she simply says "I'm exempt". This is fine but it does nothing to highlight why she refuses to wear a mask, there are no real points scored with this approach. To 'make a mark' I suppose you would have to stand your ground and state the many reasons for not complying, this will probably elicit a different response though!

The issue of 'activism' is pertinent though and I feel that I somehow need to take action, not just banging away on the keyboard! I am going to think on this a little longer before taking action, maybe I need to read the Art of War again :)

I agree with your reasoning pueblo.

I will tell you how I approach this personally.

First and foremost, I will not let anyone compromise my health. Wearing a mask compromises my health and so it follows that I will disobey anyone who tells me I must wear a mask.

Now there are many different ways to disobey the rules/laws on face masks.
There are also many different ways to make your views on face masks known to others.

I'm busy enough and have many other things on my mind usually to want to engage in
an argument/fight over face masks.

And so the approach I have chosen to take, which works like a charm where I live,
is simply to tell anyone who asks me to put on a face mask, that I have a medical condition.
I have never needed to say any more, or explain any more than that.
Everyone immediately backs off after I say that.

If anyone ever should continue to harass me after I said that (which is highly unlikely) I would
first ask to speak with the manager about it. If they continued to be uncooperative, I would simply
leave their premises.

As far as scoring "real points" is concerned, I view my refusal to wear masks indoors as a victory!
Anyone seeing me knows that I have scored points. It's in plain sight.

I will take on anyone who wishes to debate face masks, if I have the time and inclination.
Lord knows I have done enough research on the subject and am well-read on it.

And I wouldn't hesitate to participate in a rally about this in my area if one was organized.
So it all depends on how you view scoring "real points".

I don't explicitly state all the reasons I refuse to wear a face mask, because I don't usually wish to get into an argument most of the time. :)

In this interview back in May Fauci tells us there is no need for anyone who isn't ill to be wearing a mask but I think he also inadvertently tells us something else about the mask plan.

Fauci uses the phrase 'right now' twice when answering a question on whether people should be wearing masks or not. I find it strange that he says 'right now' in this context and suspect it is not included for no reason.

It is easy to read between the lines of what he was saying; the logical interpretation is that masks were not needed right now (possibly because that part of the plan was not in place/ready to be rolled out) but they might be needed at some point further down the line.

Yes, I agree. Only health care workers and the sick should wear them.

Here's an article from Mass Live that caught the CDC's post "in error" about the virus being airborne:

From an event in Doylestown Pennsylvania, September 29, 2020. Governor Tom Wolf and PA State Rep Wendy Ullman chat about removing their masks to speak. Ullman says she is going to play “political theater” and wait to get her mask removal “on camera.” They laugh. Gov. Wolf responds “okay, that’s good.”

Comment from Dan Maiullo on Facebook, in reply to Dr. Popper's video: " Upon investigation, it was not Benjamin Fulford who wrote the letter to the editor. Apparently, it was written by Arthur Firstenberg and then directed to Benjamin Fulford. After a cursory search, I could not find where the letter was first published, so Pam Popper's statement that it was published in a medical journal could not be confirmed. I haven't yet had the opportunity to read the studies cited. For anyone interested, here's the text of the letter:
“As a person who went to medical school, I was shocked when I read Neil Orr’s study, published in 1981 in the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
Dr. Orr was a surgeon in the Severalls Surgical Unit in Colchester. And for six months, from March through August 1980, the surgeons and staff in that unit decided to see what would happen if they did not wear masks during surgeries.
They wore no masks for six months and compared the rate of surgical wound infections from March through August 1980 with the rate of wound infections from March through August of the previous four years.
And they discovered, to their amazement, that when nobody wore masks during surgeries, the rate of wound infections was less than half what it was when everyone wore masks.
Their conclusion: ‘It would appear that minimum contamination can best be achieved by not wearing a mask at all’ and that wearing a mask during surgery ‘is a standard procedure that could be abandoned.’
I was so amazed that I scoured the medical literature, sure that this was a fluke, and that newer studies must show the utility of masks in preventing the spread of disease.
But to my surprise the medical literature for the past forty-five years has been consistent: masks are useless in preventing the spread of disease and, if anything, are unsanitary objects that themselves spread bacteria and viruses.
Ritter et al., in 1975, found that ‘the wearing of a surgical face mask had no effect upon the overall operating room environmental contamination.’
Ha’eri and Wiley, in 1980, applied human albumin microspheres to the interior of surgical masks in 20 operations. At the end of each operation, wound washings were examined under the microscope. ‘Particle contamination of the wound was demonstrated in all experiments.’
Laslett and Sabin, in 1989, found that caps and masks were not necessary during cardiac catheterization. ‘No infections were found in any patient, regardless of whether a cap or mask was used,’ they wrote. Sjøl and Kelbaek came to the same conclusion in 2002.
In Tunevall’s 1991 study, a general surgical team wore no masks in half of their surgeries for two years. After 1,537 operations performed with masks, the wound infection rate was 4.7%, while after 1,551 operations performed without masks, the wound infection rate was only 3.5%.
A review by Skinner and Sutton in 2001 concluded that ‘The evidence for discontinuing the use of surgical face masks would appear to be stronger than the evidence available to support their continued use.’
Lahme et al., in 2001, wrote that ‘surgical face masks worn by patients during regional anaesthesia, did not reduce the concentration of airborne bacteria over the operation field in our study. Thus they are dispensable.’
Figueiredo et al., in 2001, reported that in five years of doing peritoneal dialysis without masks, rates of peritonitis in their unit were no different than rates in hospitals where masks were worn.
Bahli did a systematic literature review in 2009 and found that ‘no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative wound infection was observed between masks groups and groups operated with no masks.’
Surgeons at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, recognizing the lack of evidence supporting the use of masks, ceased requiring them in 2010 for anesthesiologists and other non-scrubbed personnel in the operating room. ‘Our decision to no longer require routine surgical masks for personnel not scrubbed for surgery is a departure from common practice. But the evidence to support this practice does not exist,’ wrote Dr. Eva Sellden.
Webster et al., in 2010, reported on obstetric, gynecological, general, orthopaedic, breast and urological surgeries performed on 827 patients. All non-scrubbed staff wore masks in half the surgeries, and none of the non-scrubbed staff wore masks in half the surgeries.
Lipp and Edwards reviewed the surgical literature in 2014 and found ‘no statistically significant difference in infection rates between the masked and unmasked group in any of the trials.’ Vincent and Edwards updated this review in 2016 and the conclusion was the same.
Carøe, in a 2014 review based on four studies and 6,006 patients, wrote that ‘none of the four studies found a difference in the number of post-operative infections whether you used a surgical mask or not.’
Salassa and Swiontkowski, in 2014, investigated the necessity of scrubs, masks and head coverings in the operating room and concluded that ‘there is no evidence that these measures reduce the prevalence of surgical site infection.’
Da Zhou et al., reviewing the literature in 2015, concluded that ‘there is a lack of substantial evidence to support claims that face masks protect either patient or surgeon from infectious contamination.
‘Schools in China are now prohibiting students from wearing masks while exercising. Why? Because it was killing them. It was depriving them of oxygen and it was killing them. At least three children died during Physical Education classes — two of them while running on their school’s track while wearing a mask. And a 26-year-old man suffered a collapsed lung after running two and a half miles while wearing a mask.Mandating masks has not kept death rates down anywhere. The 20 U.S. states that have never ordered people to wear face masks indoors and out have dramatically lower COVID-19 death rates than the 30 states that have
mandated masks. Most of the no-mask states have COVID-19 death rates below 20 per 100,000 population, and none have a death rate higher than 55.
All 13 states that have death rates higher than 55 are states that have required the wearing of masks in all public places. It has not protected them.
‘We are living in an atmosphere of permanent illness, of meaningless separation,’ writes Benjamin Cherry in the Summer 2020 issue of New View magazine. A separation that is destroying lives, souls, and nature.”

What Will It Take for Masks and Face Shields to End?

"STORY AT-A-GLANCE
According to Dr. Paul Offit, people will need to continue wearing masks and social distancing for “the next couple of years” even after a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available
A viral video shows the violent arrest of an Ohio mom at a local football game, ostensibly for not wearing her mask in the stands. The problem with arresting people for not complying with mask rules is that there’s no evidence to support the idea that masks prevent the spread of the virus
Face shields, recommended as an added layer to protect the mucous membranes of your eyes, are useless for the prevention of viral spread, especially if used alone in lieu of a mask. Masks with exhalation ports are also useless as they do not filter the outbreath
Flow visualization research shows that while face shields block the initial forward motion of the jet, expelled droplets move around the visor and spread out over a large area. Visualizations for face masks equipped with an exhalation port show droplets pass through the exhale valve unfiltered
September 18, 2020, the CDC posted updated COVID-19 guidance that, for the first time, mentioned aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2, saying “this is thought to be the main way the virus spreads.” It also noted that aerosolized viruses can travel farther than 6 feet. The CDC deleted these sections September 21, claiming they were posted in error. Aerosolized spread confirms the futility of mask rules

According to rotavirus vaccine developer Dr. Paul Offit,1 people will need to continue wearing masks and social distancing for "the next couple of years" even after a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available.

"People now see vaccines as a magic dust that's about to be sprinkled over this country and make this all go away. It doesn't work that way," Offit told MarketWatch, September 21, 2020.2

Offit, who sits on the Food and Drug Administration's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, said he's wary of a COVID-19 vaccine that may be rushed to market under pressure from the government.

The U.S. Health and Human Services' Operation Warp Speed has pledged to deliver 300 million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine by 2021,3 if not sooner.4 However, developing a safe and effective vaccine normally takes years and begins with animal studies.

The COVID-19 vaccines are all being rushed straight into human clinical tests, forgoing lengthy animal trials altogether. Vaccine makers are also being shielded against liability if people are harmed by the experimental vaccines.5

Early Warning Signs of Vaccine Dangers
Early warning signs that something might be amiss have already started emerging. As detailed in "Gates Tries to Justify Side Effects of Fast-Tracked Vaccine," results6 from Moderna's Phase 1 human trial revealed 100% of volunteers in the high-dose group suffered systemic side effects. Side effects included fatigue, chills, headache and myalgia (muscle pain); 21% suffered "one or more severe events."

A May 26, 2020, article7 in STAT news told the harrowing story of Ian Haydon, a healthy 29-year-old participant in Moderna's vaccine trial who suffered severe side effects requiring hospitalization.

While Haydon recovered from the side effects, which included a raging fever, fainting, nausea, muscle pain and generally feeling "as sick as he'd ever felt," just imagine what such side effects might do to an elderly person, an infant, young child or someone who is metabolically compromised or has an underlying condition such as a heart problem. For them, the reactions could be far worse and possibly fatal.

Disturbingly, in July 2020, it was reported8 that Moderna's 100-mcg dose vaccine — despite its 100% side effect ratio after the second dose — would proceed to Phase 3 trial assessment.

Like the Moderna vaccine, the AstraZeneca/Oxford University vaccine also appears to come with a shockingly high rate of side effects. Results9 from one of its Phase 1/2 studies published August 15, 2020, revealed a clear majority of participants experienced side effects, including fatigue, headache, muscle ache, malaise, chills and feeling feverish.

September 6, 2020, AstraZeneca paused its Phase 3 vaccine trial due to a "suspected serious and unexpected adverse reaction" in a British participant.10,11 The company did not divulge the nature of the adverse reaction.

However, The New York Times reported12 that "a person familiar with the situation, and who spoke on the condition of anonymity" said the individual" had been found to have transverse myelitis, an inflammatory syndrome that affects the spinal cord and is often sparked by viral infections."

September 12, 2020, the British Medicines Health Regulatory Authority gave AstraZeneca the go-ahead to resume its Phase 3 trial in the U.K., after an independent review found it "safe to do so."13,14

And here is yet another major surprise that hardly anyone knows. Offit warns there could be problems with Moderna's and BioNTech's messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines because they have extraordinary shipping and handling needs that include using dry ice. "We've never done that before in this country," he told MarketWatch.15 "Never."

Why Enforce Ineffective Mask Rules?


oMIhuCVGgIw

A viral video (above) posted September 23, 2020, features the violent arrest of an Ohio mom at a local football game, ostensibly for not wearing her mask in the stands.16 The video shows a police officer tasing Alecia Kitts at the two-minute mark.

Also clearly on the video is footage showing that the officer who tased Kitts had his own mask off, under his chin, from the time he tased her until he was walking her away in handcuffs. He only put the mask back on when someone in the stands yelled out, asking him where his mask was.

According to The Ohio Star,17 Tiffany Kennedy, a friend of Kitts who shot the video, said Kitts has asthma and had taken the mask off. Kitts' mask is visible in her right back shorts pocket in the video. Ohio coronavirus rules issued by Governor Mike DeWine require people to wear masks at outdoor events when 6-foot social distancing is not possible.

Not wearing a mask in Ohio is considered a misdemeanor. Penalties for failure to comply can include up to 30 days in jail and a $750 fine. While DeWine said his intent isn't to arrest people for noncompliance, he failed to veto a bill that would have reduced fines and banned jail time for noncompliance.

The fundamental problem with assaulting18 and arresting people for not complying with mask rules is that there's no evidence to support the idea that masks prevent the spread of the virus. In fact, the science tells us masks cannot block viruses.

SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter between 0.06 and 0.14 microns.19 Medical N95 masks — which are considered the most effective — can filter particles as small as 0.3 microns.20 Surgical masks, homemade masks, T-shirts and bandanas are even more porous.

At best, a mask may reduce the transmission of large respiratory droplets, but it does nothing to prevent the transmission of aerosolized particulates exhaled by asymptomatic or presymptomatic individuals with COVID-19.21 Health agencies' own research show it's a futile measure that only provides a false sense of security.

For example, the World Health Organization's June 5, 2020, guidance memo22 on face mask use states "there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID- 19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19."

Similarly, a May 2020 policy review paper23 published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases, concluded that "Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza."

This is highly relevant, as the influenza virus is about twice the size of SARS-CoV-2. If masks cannot prevent transmission of influenza, they certainly cannot prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Valved Masks and Face Shields Are Useless
JEy1cF2pMdM

Certain masks are more useless than others, with valved masks being among the worst, followed by homemade cloth masks. This includes both commercial cloth masks and N95-rated masks with one or two exhale ports. The reason for this is because masks with breathing valves do not filter the outbreath.

To be clear, while an N95-rated mask with exhale port will not protect others, it may, however, still offer some protection for the wearer. If you’re wearing a mask, N95-rated masks are the most effective choice. The caveat is that it must be properly fitted and put on and removed as instructed. Medical staff must go through fit tests24 for medical N95 masks, which makes them an impractical choice for the general public.

Face shields, recommended25 by Dr. Anthony Fauci at the end of July 2020, as an added layer to protect the mucous membranes of your eyes, are even more useless for the prevention of viral spread, especially if used alone in lieu of a mask (which is generally not recommended26).

Florida Atlantic University's College of Engineering and Computer Science video above provides a qualitative visualization of how masks with valves and face shields perform. As reported by Florida Atlantic University news desk:27

"Widespread public use of these alternatives to regular masks could potentially have an adverse effect on mitigation efforts. For the study,28 just published in the journal Physics of Fluids, researchers employed flow visualization in a laboratory setting using a laser light sheet and a mixture of distilled water and glycerin to generate the synthetic fog that made up the content of a cough-jet.

They visualized droplets expelled from a mannequin's mouth while simulating coughing and sneezing. By placing a plastic face shield and an N95-rated face mask with a valve, they were able to map out the paths of droplets and demonstrate how they performed.

Results of the study show that although face shields block the initial forward motion of the jet, the expelled droplets move around the visor with relative ease and spread out over a large area depending on light ambient disturbances.

Visualizations for the face mask equipped with an exhalation port indicate that a large number of droplets pass through the exhale valve unfiltered, which significantly reduces its effectiveness as a means of source control."

In related news, a Japanese simulation study found "nearly 100% of airborne droplets less than 5 micrometers in size escaped through the shields" and "about half of larger droplets measuring 50 micrometers found their way into the air," The Guardian reports.29,30

Why Did CDC Delete Aerosol Transmission Notice?
Interestingly, Friday September 18, 2020, the CDC posted updated COVID-19 guidance on its "How COVID-19 Spreads" page that, for the first time, mentioned aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2, saying "this is thought to be the main way the virus spreads."31

It also noted that aerosolized viruses can travel farther than 6 feet — which is logical seeing how aerosolized viruses can remain suspended in the air for hours — and that "indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk."32 However, the CDC then deleted the mention of aerosols and the possibility of spread beyond 6 feet the following Monday, September 21, saying a draft version of proposed changes had been posted "in error."33,34,35,36

If SARS-CoV-2 spreads primarily via aerosols, then requiring people to wear masks is illogical, seeing how they cannot filter out airborne viruses.
As reported by Forbes:37

"Before Friday's update, the CDC said large respiratory droplets (like from coughing or sneezing) at close range transmitted the virus, but now the now-deleted guidance added that 'small particles, such as those in aerosols' could infect people.

'There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet,' the now-removed guidance stated … Scientists say the new CDC guidance is important because cloth masks aren't designed to protect the wearer from aerosols."

The last sentence is a key one. Understanding that SARS-CoV-2 is aerosolized and can remain suspended in air "is important because cloth masks aren't designed to protect the wearer from aerosols." Masks also, of course, cannot protect others from aerosolized viruses exhaled by someone wearing a mask (or face shield).

SARS-CoV-2 Is Airborne, Which Makes Masks Ineffective
According to NBC News,38 that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne is "already well-known, according to infectious disease experts," so it's unclear why the CDC would not want that information on its website. In fact, it's been remarkably slow in acknowledging it.

One has to wonder whether its delayed acknowledgment and rapid removal of this information has something to do with the fact that, if SARS-CoV-2 spreads primarily via aerosols, then requiring people to wear masks is illogical, seeing how they cannot filter out airborne viruses. All a mask can do is limit the spread of contaminated respiratory droplets. This has been the argument against mask wearing all along.

Dr. Jill Weatherhead, assistant professor of infectious diseases at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, told NBC News that the admission that SARS-CoV-2 is aerosolized was "not surprising or jarring."39 The World Health Organization updated its COVID-19 guidance back in July to include aerosolized (i.e., airborne) transmission, at the urging of more than 200 scientists.40

Joseph Allen, an associate professor in the department of environmental health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, also told NBC News that "The scientific community has been raising the alarm about this since February, that airborne spread can happen."41 Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the school of public health at Brown University, commented on the CDC's deletion:42

"This is so destructive to this incredibly wonderful agency that we have loved and admired our entire careers. This is amateur hour."

Why Are They so Persistent With Mask Recommendations?
Considering the strong scientific evidence against it, why are governments so persistent in their recommendation of mask wearing? Clearly, for many, wearing a bandana or cloth mask provides a form of psychological defense, a way to feel less fearful because it feels like you're doing something to protect yourself and others. But it's a false sense of security.

Masks will not prevent you from exhaling or inhaling the aerosolized virus. Cloth masks are clearly also the least preferable option if you want to reduce the spread of infection, as their ability to block larger respiratory droplets is also limited.

In particular, N95 masks with airflow valves on the front should be avoided, as the valve lets out unfiltered air, thus negating the small benefit — the reduction in respiratory droplet emissions — you might get from a mask.43

But with COVID-19 fatality rates44,45,46 as low as they are, why would governments be pushing for a false sense of security? According to a September 2, 2020, study47 in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the overall noninstitutionalized COVID-19 fatality ratio is 0.26%. For those younger than 40, the infection fatality ratio is 0.01%, while those aged 60 or older have a fatality ratio of 1.71%.

The estimated infection fatality rate for seasonal influenza listed in this paper is 0.8%. So, the only people for whom SARS-CoV-2 infection is more dangerous than influenza is those over the age of 60.

Mandatory mask wearing, social distancing, lockdowns and business shut-downs are clearly completely unnecessary at this point, unless your goal is to increase fear, tyranny and transfer of wealth to the upper 0.001% who can benefit from collapsing the economy. The virus is in the air all around us, so you cannot avoid exposure even with a mask or face shield.

Remember back in March 2020 when they said we just need to slow down the rate of infection to avoid overcrowding hospitals? How did we go from that to now having to wear masks everywhere until every trace of the virus has been eliminated, even though a vast majority remain asymptomatic and don't even know they have the virus unless they get tested?

Overall, it seems mask requirements are being used as a psychological manipulation tool to encourage compliance with vaccination once a vaccine becomes available. It can also be viewed as a badge of submission to tyranny. I predict it is likely that, at some point in the future, a tradeoff will be offered: Mask mandates will be dropped provided everyone gets vaccinated.

By then, many may be willing to take just about anything as long as they don't have to wear a mask anymore — although some, like Offit, warn that masks may remain a requirement for years to come, even with a vaccine.

I would encourage you to read up on the many open questions relating to fast-tracked COVID-19 vaccines before making your decision. Overall, it seems the best way to avoid having to make such a devious trade is to engage in civil disobedience now, and go unmasked.

If civil disobedience feels disconcerting, keep in mind that in many areas, mask rules include the following exception: "You must wear a mask unless you can maintain a 6-foot distance." In other words, if you're without a mask and maintain 6-foot social distancing, you're still in compliance with the rules as written."

[Patient]

People sometimes get caught up in looking at statistics, videos, wanting proof beyond doubt. Sometimes I think a person should pause for reflection.

With covid, is it a virus or a disease? Cold and flu?

How much does a virus mutate? How could a vaccine work when a flu virus is mutating over time?

A long time ago I worked in a Hospital for quite a few years. We had to get the flu shot (and they called it a vaccine) every year at the beginning of the flu season.

Of course working with patients it felt right to get the flu shot - but most of us still got sic because the virus mutates.

I sure saw a lot of people in the hospital wearing masks - but it did not make a difference.

So we really need to understand what this mandate to wearing masks is about.

Neurologist: COVID-19 Masks Are a Crime Against Humanity and Child Abuse

"The following is a transcript of the highlights (by Henna Maria) from Dr. Margarite Griesz-Brisson’s recent extremely pressing video message, that was translated on-air from German into English by Claudia Stauber. Video at the end of the transcript.

by Dr. Margarite Griesz-Brisson and Henna Maria
Global Research

Dr. Margarite Griesz-Brisson MD, PhD is a Consultant Neurologist and Neurophysiologist with a PhD in Pharmacology, with special interest in neurotoxicology, environmental medicine, neuroregeneration and neuroplasticity. This is what she has to say about masks and their effects on our brains:

“The rebreathing of our exhaled air will without a doubt create oxygen deficiency and a flooding of carbon dioxide. We know that the human brain is very sensitive to oxygen depravation. There are nerve cells for example in the hippocampus, that can’t be longer than 3 minutes without oxygen – they cannot survive. The acute warning symptoms are headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, issues in concentration, slowing down of the reaction time – reactions of the cognitive system.

However, when you have chronic oxygen depravation, all of those symptoms disappear, because you get used to it. But your efficiency will remain impaired and the undersupply of oxygen in your brain continues to progress.

We know that neurodegenerative diseases take years to decades to develop. If today you forget your phone number, the breakdown in your brain would have already started 20 or 30 years ago.

While you’re thinking, that you have gotten used to wearing your mask and rebreathing your own exhaled air, the degenerative processes in your brain are getting amplified as your oxygen deprivation continues.

The second problem is that the nerve cells in your brain are unable to divide themselves normally. So in case our governments will generously allow as to get rid of the masks and go back to breathing oxygen freely again in a few months, the lost nerve cells will no longer be regenerated. What is gone is gone.

[..]I do not wear a mask, I need my brain to think. I want to have a clear head when I deal with my patients, and not be in a carbon dioxide induced anaesthesia.

[..]There is no unfounded medical exemption from face masks because oxygen deprivation is dangerous for every single brain. It must be the free decision of every human being whether they want to wear a mask that is absolutely ineffective to protect themselves from a virus.

For children and adolescents, masks are an absolute no-no. Children and adolescents have an extremely active and adaptive immune system and they need a constant interaction with the microbiome of the Earth. Their brain is also incredibly active, as it is has so much to learn. The child’s brain, or the youth’s brain is thirsting for oxygen. The more metabolically active the organ is, the more oxygen it requires. In children and adolescents every organ is metabolically active.

To deprive a child’s or an adolescent’s brain from oxygen, or to restrict it in any way, is not only dangerous to their health, it is absolutely criminal. Oxygen deficiency inhibits the development of the brain, and the damage that has taken place as a result CANNOT be reversed.

The child needs the brain to learn, and the brain needs oxygen to function. We don’t need a clinical study for that. This is simple, indisputable physiology. Conscious and purposely induced oxygen deficiency is an absolutely deliberate health hazard, and an absolute medical contraindication.

An absolute medical contraindication in medicine means that this drug, this therapy, this method or measure should not be used – is not allowed to be used. To coerce an entire population to use an absolute medical contraindication by force, there must be definite and serious reasons for this, and the reasons must be presented to competent interdisciplinary and independent bodies to be verified and authorised.

When in ten years, dementia is going to increase exponentially, and the younger generations couldn’t reach their god-given potential, it won’t help to say “we didn’t need the masks”.

[..]How can a veterinarian, a software distributer, a business man, an electrical car manufacturer and a physicist decided on matters regarding the health of the entire population? Please dear colleagues, we all have to wake up.

I know how damaging oxygen depravation is for the brain, cardiologist knows it for the heart, the pulmonologist knows it for the lungs. Oxygen deprivation damages every single organ.

Where are our health departments, our health insurance, our medical associations? It would have been their duty to be vehemently against the lockdown and to stop it and stop it from the very beginning.

Why do the medical boards give punishments to doctors who give people exemptions? Does the person or the doctor seriously have to prove that oxygen depravation harms people? What kind of medicine are our doctors and medical associations representing?

Who is responsible for this crime? The ones who want to enforce it? The ones who let it happen and play along, or the ones who don’t prevent it?[..]It’s not about masks, it’s not about viruses, it’s certainly not about your health. It is about much much more. I am not participating. I am not afraid.

[..]You can notice, they are already taking our air to breathe.

The imperative of the hour is personal responsibility.

We are responsible for what we think, not the media. We are responsible for what we do, not our superiors. We are responsible for our health, not the World Health Organisation. And we are responsible for what happens in our country, not the government.”

Why does no one freak out this much about the "no shoes, no shirt, no service" signs?

That's a really dumb question. So much so that I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are just being facetious and jerking people's chains for the fun of it.

There is absolutely no equivalency or comparison between the decision of private business owners to require shirts and shoes in a restaurant and the scam taking place vis-a-vis the so-called CV-19 global destruction of lives and economies. Among other things, the former is not a matter of criminal public policy, whereas the latter is.

[SubjectCCCIX]

Alrighty, thanks for the angry response.

Covid may genuinely be a scam, but would it change anything if masks never came into play? People would still be asked to stay home, they would still stay six feet apart, they would still close most restaurants and small businesses whether you introduce masks into the equation or not. Where law comes into play in your answer, If you could please direct me to an article or citing where someone was arrested for not wearing a mask, when they weren't making a scene or being a child when just simply being asked to wear one.

like what would happen if you didn't wear shoes or a shirt into a store, hence the correlation.

As far as I am concerned, I would say that masks are semi-effective/ineffective and I am willing to wear one so as not to scare sh!tless anyone under the yoke of fear.

I was with you and about to give you a thumbs up after reading the excerpt from 1937.
But I put the brakes on when I saw that you, like so many others, are willing to
obey your 'masters' with the excuse that you don't want to cause fear in others.

You need to look at the entire equation.
There is far more harm done to people worldwide with the face masks
(I could write a page of reasons) than the fear you might cause some by not wearing one.

Just two more weeks until Halloween folks!
All those young kids will be ringing your doorbell soon and
screaming out “Trick or treat!”.

Well it’s time to step up to the plate and give it to them.
Dip your hand into the treat bowl, pull out a CV mask, strap it on top of their Halloween mask (which will likely be sitting on top of their CV mask), all the while saying “It’s better to be safe than sorry!”.

At the very least that should get their parents thinking (or confused). :)

I suppose everything is a matter of degree. No one in their right mind wants to wear a mask for no reason. So its a matter of the substance of that reason.
I wear a mask when asked, in stores and such. But in other areas, the mask becomes a sign of ignorance in my eyes, way beyond the need or logic for it, driving in cars, windows up alone and many other instances.

And if the authorities say, wear masks for another year? do we all follow? only the infection rate is high. 99.9% dont get sick

[Luke Holiday]

MKUltra mind control survivor Cathy O’Brien on the CIA/military use of masks in controlling the mind – ‘My daughter was forced to wear one from aged two to control her breathing and perception.’ If you and your kids wear masks this is a MUST READ – please share

Masks are an obvious mind control device, and I am disturbed so many people are complying on a global scale.

Through the years when I’ve seen images of people in China wearing masks that control the air they breathe “due to pollution”. I knew it was as much of a population control mechanism of depersonalization as are burkas.

Masks depersonalize while making a person feel as though they have no voice. It is a barrier to others.

In MK Ultra Project Monarch mind control, Michael Jackson had to wear a mask to silence his voice so he could not reach out for help.

Remember how he developed that whisper voice when he wasn’t singing? Masks control the mind from the outside in, like the redefining of words is doing. By controlling what we can and cannot say for fear of being labeled racist or beaten, for example, it ultimately controls thought that drives our words and ultimately actions (or lack thereof).

Likewise, a mask muffles our speech so that we are not heard, which controls voice…words…mind.

This is Mind Control.

People who would never choose to comply but are forced to wear a mask in order to keep their job, and ultimately their family fed, are compromised. They often feel shame and are subdued. People have stopped talking with each other while media controls the narrative.

Mandating Control
Consider, too, how global education introduced that concept of “we’re all winners” in sports, classrooms, recess, etc. Competition was defused, and it in turn defused a sense of fighting back.

It is as if insurgents can do any violent thing they want because “we’re all in it together” wearing masks. Of course, this works well to mask identities of those breaking the law while further subduing those conditioned to not fight back.

Most importantly, those mandating masks literally are controlling the air that we breathe. That is why my daughter Kelly had to wear masks from the age of 2.

She and I had been MK Ultra conditioned that our abusers held the power of life and death over us. We had been programmed on levels that control heartbeat, eye blinks, and breathing like military special forces endure.

Even Reagan’s “favorite music group” was Air Supply which was used as a deliberate do-or-die trigger for me. Those in the know on MK Ultra recognized the mask as a signifier of robotic programming that they believed prohibited the victim from ever having the ability to think to talk.

The Choice is Yours
I hear daily from healed people who had been traumatized/PTSDed that cannot wear a mask without flashing back on ways their breathing was controlled- from ball gags and penises to water boarding.

Controlling the air we breathe is an ultimate force of power that controls life and death. Seeing media’s constant barrage of assault, murder, or arrest of those who do not comply compounds the control even more.

New World Order perpeTraitors know exactly what they are doing and so do I. Therefore, I remain confident in not wearing a mask while compassionately understanding why people have such a hard time taking off their masks!

Media-hyped fear mongering suggesting that anyone who does not wear a mask “does not care about others” is as polar opposite as violent insurgents are labeled “peaceful protesters.” People are encouraged when they see my smiling face and find hope that this “new normal” of wearing masks is our choice to comply or not. It really is up to us.

As always, the more you know the more you see and I have cause to see the reality of global mind control being implemented. Mind control has been and is the ultimate New World Order agenda for creating their slave society as per my testimony in TRANCE Formation of America.

Next on the agenda; stronger control over populations through vaccines tainted with microchips.

Make Your Voice Heard
The good news is that these criminals who lost control of our globe 2016 are arrogant and fail to consider the strength of the human spirit, which is the very reason I survived. We are now witnessing and experiencing a Great Awakening of global proportion as people wake up from years of mind control because, as always, perpetraitors overplayed and tipped their hand.

And humanity holds the winning card- strength of spirit!

Now, people must gather their strength of spirit, take off their masks while legitimately peacefully protesting New World Order vaccines, and make their voices heard!

Frontline Doctors Return to Washington D.C. to Dispel COVID Myths and to Offer Truth and Hope

"America’s Frontline Doctors returned to Washington D.C. this week for their second White Coat Summit."


meyMLYAX0Mf3


You can read about their first visit to D.C. last July, where they exposed the hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) scandal, here:

“Nobody Needs to Die” – Frontline Doctors Storm D.C. Claiming “Thousands of Doctors” are Being Silenced on Facts and Treatments for COVID
Their Press Conference on the steps of the Supreme Court back in July quickly went viral, and was promptly deleted and censored by Big Tech platforms such as Facebook and Google’s Youtube.

Health Impact News grabbed a copy before they were deleted, and published it on our Bitchute channel, where it currently has over 190,000 views.

They were back in even greater numbers this week, again giving an initial Press Conference in front of the Supreme Court.

Dr. Simone Gold, the founder of Frontline Doctors, gave the opening address:

Hello everybody. I am Dr. Simone Gold. I’m a board certified emergency physician and the founder of America’s Frontline Doctors.

I’m also a Stanford University educated attorney.

And we’ve come back with some of my group for the second White Coat Summit.

We’re here to speak to America just like we did on July 27th.

At that time we brought the American people truth and hope and optimism.

And we’re here to give you more truth and more reasons to be optimistic and to not live in fear.

There continues to be a great deal of disinformation and outright censorship.

Since our Summit, the censorship unfortunately has gotten worse.

Because of that, we’ve established a website: America’s Frontline Doctors, where you can find the truth, where the truth is not censored.

Today, we’re going to bring you information about masks, about lockdowns, about most importantly, early treatment.

Reasons to be optimistic. We’re going to dispel the myths.

Masks
I want to start with masks. And I start with this because there is a legal crisis, a Constitutional crisis, that we’re not recognizing. And it is, to some extent, personified by the forced, mandated wearing of masks.

Let’s not tip toe around the great big elephant in the room. The facts are actually not in dispute.

Masks are completely irrelevant in blocking the SARS-COV2 virus.

Prior to March 2020 there were no scientific journals that asserted that masks could keep out a virus.

A virus is 1/1000 the size of a hair.

Consider what our Emperor Fauci said when asked if he’s sure that masks work.

Now remember, he is not new to the game. This has been his life’s work for decades.

There was no chance that what he said was a mistake. And there was no chance that SARS-COV2 is different than any other RNA virus that he has made his life’s work.

Dr. Fauci said, “When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel better. And it might even block a droplet.

But it isn’t providing the perfect protection that people think it is, and often there are unintended consequences.”

What the New England Journal of Medicine, a premier medical journal, had to say about masks. The following: “It is clear that masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are lucky charms that may help increase health care worker’s perceived sense of safety and well-being.

Although such reactions may not be strictly logical, we’re all subject to fear and anxiety, especially during times of crisis.

Expanded masking protocols greatest contribution may be to reduce the transmission of anxiety.”

That is per the New England Journal of Medicine.

I will put it plainly to you, my fellow Americans, you have been lied to by the media.

Propaganda is not a new phenomenon. Thomas Jefferson said, “The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.”

And John F. Kennedy pointed out, “It does not matter if the propaganda had a sinister purpose. The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, but the myth persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.” "

Watch the full Press Conference:

[graciousb]

Why does no one freak out this much about the "no shoes, no shirt, no service" signs?

Because shoes and shirts are not necessary features of connection and interaction, unlike human faces. Humans need to interact with each other almost as much as we need food and water, and one can't effectively connect with a masked face. The ''failure to thrive'' syndrome doesn't just happen with infants who can die without human interaction and seeing faces, but it's also a grave threat to all of us, especially children and elderly.

[Satori]

This whole face mask issue has reminded me since the very beginning of this Dr. Seuss story.

https://bowmanatbrooks.weebly.com/uploads/8/3/8/3/838u73240/the-sneetches.pdf (https://bowmanatbrooks.weebly.com/uploads/8/3/8/3/8383240/the-sneetches.pdf)


THE SNEETCHESby Theodor Geisel (1961) Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches Had bellies with stars. The Plain-Belly Sneetches Had none upon thars. Those stars weren't so big. They were really so small You might think such a thing wouldn't matter at all. But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches Would brag, "We're the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches." With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they'd snort “We'll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!" And whenever they met some, when they were out walking, They'd hike right on past them without even talking. When the Star-Belly children went out to play ball, Could a Plain-Belly get in the game...? Not at all. You could only play if your bellies had stars And the Plain-Belly children had none upon thars. When the Star-Belly Sneetches had frankfurter roasts Or picnics or parties or marshmallow toasts, They never invited the Plain-Belly Sneetches. They left them out cold, in the dark of the beaches. They kept them away. Never let them come near. And that's how they treated them year after year. Then ONE day, it seems...while the Plain-Belly Sneetches Were moping and doping alone on the beaches, Just sitting there wishing their bellies had stars... A stranger zipped up in the strangest of cars! "My friends," he announced in a voice clear and keen, "My name is Sylvester McMonkey McBean. And I've heard of your troubles. I've heard you're unhappy. But I can fix that. I'm the Fix-it-Up Chappie. I've come here to help you. I have what you need. And my prices are low. And I work at great speed. And my work is one hundred per cent guaranteed!" Then, quickly, Sylvester McMonkey McBean Put together a very peculiar machine. And he said, "You want stars like a Star-Belly Sneetch...? My friends, you can have them for three dollars each!”
“Just pay me your money and hop right aboard!" So they clambered inside. Then the big machine roared And it clonked. And it bonked. And it jerked. And it berked And it bopped them about. But the thing really worked! When the Plain-Belly Sneetches popped out, they had stars! They actually did. They had stars upon thars! Then they yelled at the ones who had stars from the start, "We're exactly like you! You can't tell us apart. We're all just the same, now, you snooty old smarties! And now we can go to your frankfurter parties." "Good grief!" groaned the ones who had stars at the first. "We're still the best Sneetches and they are the worst. But, now, how in the world will we know," they all frowned, "If which kind is what, or the other way round?" Then up came McBean with a very sly wink And he said, "Things are not quite as bad as you think. So you don't know who's who. That’s perfectly true. But come with me, friends. Do you know what I'll do? I'll make you, again, the best Sneetches on beaches And all it will cost you is ten dollars eaches.” Belly stars are no longer in style," said McBean. "What you need is a trip through my Star-Off machine. This wondrous contraption will take off your stars So you won't look like Sneetches who have them on thars." And that handy machine Working very precisely Removed all the stars from their tummies quite nicely. Then, with snoots in the air, they paraded about And they opened their beaks and they let out a shout, "We know who is who! Now there isn't a doubt. The best kind of Sneetches are Sneetches without!" Then, of course, those with stars all got frightfully mad. To be wearing a star now was frightfully bad. Then, of course, old Sylvester McMonkey McBean Invited them into his Star-Off Machine. Then, of course from then on, as you probably guess, Things really got into a horrible mess. All the rest of that day, on those wild screaming beaches, The Fix-it-Up Chappie kept fixing up Sneetches. Off again! On again!
In again! Out again! Through the machines they raced round and about again, Changing their stars every minute or two. They kept paying money. They kept running through Until neither the Plain nor the Star-Bellies knew Whether this one was that one...or that one was this one Or which one was what one...or what one was who. Then, when every last cent Of their money was spent, The Fix-it-Up Chappie packed up And he went. And he laughed as he drove In his car up the beach, "They never will learn. No. You can't teach a Sneetch!" But McBean was quite wrong. I'm quite happy to say The Sneetches got really quite smart on that day, The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches And no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches. That day, all the Sneetches forgot about stars And whether they had one, or not, upon thars.


This is great VV. So apropos and fitting.

Those who do not and will not wear a mask will be easily identified and culled from the herd.

Heretofore it was difficult to distinguish a “good citizen” from a “bad citizen”, techno spying notwithstanding. At present there are mask dictates in most US states (and in other countries). If Biden is by hook and crook [s]elected to the office of US President, G-d forbid, and he has his way (which Fauzi and his handlers are pushing) there is a coming national mask dictate. If that happens it will be easy for the Stasi to recognize upon whose faces they need to stomp their black boots and haul away to re-education camps—or worse.

[DaveToo]

This is a very long thread so I imagine this has already been covered.
Even if it has, it would be worth mentioning again.
Especially to those who insist everyone should be wearing face masks now.

This is the warning that face mask manufacturers insert inside their mask boxes:

Mask warning:

"This product is not a respirator and will not provide any protection against COVID-19 or other viruses or contaminants.

Wearing an ear loop mask does not reduce the risk of contracting any disease or infection."

Medical Doctor Warns that “Bacterial Pneumonias Are on the Rise” from Mask Wearing (https://www.globalresearch.ca/medical-doctor-warns-bacterial-pneumonias-rise-mask-wearing/5725848)

“A group is suing Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum and Tulsa Health Department Executive Director Bruce Dart, saying the city’s mask mandate is harmful to healthy people,” reports Activist Post (https://www.activistpost.com/2020/09/oklahoma-doctors-claim-masks-are-harmful-to-healthy-people-and-file-lawsuit-against-mandates.html). The group includes business owners and two doctors who “are asking the city to immediately repeal the mask mandate which was passed by city council last month.”
At a press conference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=15&v=ZbmvCKcUNuA&feature=emb_title), optometrist Robert Zoellner said:
“…the fear factor has got to step back. This idea that I don’t want to give you something that I don’t even know that I have is almost at the point of ridiculous. Let’s use some common sense.”
Dr. James Meehan, MD followed by warning that mask wearing has “well-known risks that have been well-studied and they’re not being discussed in the risk analysis.
“I’m seeing patients that have facial rashes, fungal infections, bacterial infections. Reports coming from my colleagues, all over the world, are suggesting that the bacterial pneumonias are on the rise.

“Why might that be? Because untrained members of the public are wearing medical masks, repeatedly… in a non-sterile fashion… They’re becoming contaminated. They’re pulling them off of their car seat, off the rearview mirror, out of their pocket, from their countertop, and they’re reapplying a mask that should be worn fresh and sterile every single time.”
Dr. Meehan adds:
“New research is showing that cloth masks may be increasing the aerosolization of the SARS-COV-2 virus into the environment causing an increased transmission of the disease…”
In conclusion, Dr. Meehan states:
“In February and March we were told not to wear masks. What changed? The science didn’t change. The politics did. This is about compliance. It’s not about science… Our opposition is using low-level retrospective observational studies that should not be the basis for making a medical decision of this nature.”

there's a restaurant in my area that only BARELY does the mask thing, they are doing very well as this attracts a lot of customers

I was at a Halloween party last friday and there was a band and the place was packed!

But I can't help but wonder when some Karen will go tattle on them (I'm in a pretty blue area, so I guess it's a possibility). This mask thing has been a great "divide and conquer" tactic so far....

[Dorjezigzag]

I just noticed this today and thought I would share this for consideration.

In oct 2019 just before coronavirus was unleashed Grimes released a video for her song 'violence'.

This features her and dancers wearing masks like the type enforced for corona virus. The masks start coming in about 40 seconds. A particularly symbolic mask comes in at 2.40 as it has wings, the wearer is carrying a sword.

Grimes is of course the partner of Elon Musk and they recently had a baby together.

I guess it is possible the video has been altered more recently from its oct 2019 release but I'm pretty sure it has not from reading reviews at the time of its release.

apparently the video opens with the singer studying Sun Tzu's ancient Chinese military playbook, perhaps taking into mind the treatise's memorable advice: "all warfare is based on deception." although this seems to be strangely blured out on youtube.

Violence is a track from the concept album Miss Anthropocene about the anthropomorphic Goddess of climate Change: A psychedelic, space-dwelling demon/ beauty-Queen who relishes the end of the world... She’s composed of Ivory and Oil.

I feel so sad at seeing the very elderly who could only walk inch by inch or pushed in their wheelchair wearing a mask. They don't know it is killing them. Hong Kong has the highest proportion of old people in the world. I cannot help thinking the government wants to get rid of them. No talk of exemption. People are not told anyway and compliance is 100%. Students of all ages have to wear masks the whole day in school too. They will not develop a good intellectual capacity. Image a society of retarded people in the future.

This is happening when Hong Kong has almost no local infections per day. Zero to two most of the times and the death total stands at 103 or close to it for probably the last three months.

We routinely published articles on masks, gloves, respirators and other forms of personal protective equipment (PPE).

Now let me tell you a few things about that mask you’re wearing.

And please note that what I’m about to share was also stated in the most recent edition of Del Bigtree’s program The Highwire when two OSHA mask experts spoke to the fact that the kinds of masks people are wearing were never (never!) designed to be worn for long periods and doing so is very harmful.

The blue typical mask depicted in the photograph contain Teflon and other chemicals.

A Facebook friend reminds us:

1. Masks are “sterilized” with Ethylene Oxide — a known carcinogen. Many teachers in various school boards have been experiencing significant symptoms as a direct result of the effects of this chemical.

2. The masks contain (not sprayed with) PTFE which makes up Teflon along with other chemicals. I found and have posted the US patent to allow manufacturers to use PTFE as a filter in commercial masks… “breathing these for extended periods can lead to lung cancer.”

Don’t agree? Argue with the experts at OSHA, which is the main US agency, i.e., its Occupational Health & Safety Agency.

These masks are meant to be worn only for short periods, like say if you’re sanding a table for an hour and don’t want to inhale sawdust.

They don’t do anything whatsoever to stop the spread of any virus, and the emerging science of virology now understands that viruses aren’t even passed person to person.

I know that sounds incredible, but it’s the case that the virus is in the air, you breath it in, there’s no way to prevent that short of living in an oxygen tent, and if you have a strong immune system you’ll be fine, and if you have a weak immune system you may have to deal with the effects of your immune system working to restore balance within your metabolism.

So let’s say you don’t wear the blue packaged masks, and instead wear a homemade cloth mask — the kind people wear over and over and hang on their rearview mirror and so on.

Those masks are completely useless against a virus, and are also very dangerous. OSHA would never condone a person wearing a mask of this kind for anything more than the shortest time.

Re-breathing your own viral debris is dangerous to health, and the oxygen deprivation children suffer wearing such masks all day will certainly cause brain damage.

I’m not making this up. Again, you might say, well, Guy, you’re not a doctor.

True, but I did edit that magazine for 25 years. That’s a long time and many articles on masks and PPE. I’ve attended numerous OH&S conferences and listened to experts discussing these matters.

You may hear people saying that surgeons and nurses wear masks like this all day.

Um, no. No they don’t.

They’re trained in the proper use of masks, which is to wear them in the OR, then dispose of the mask when they leave that room.

Are you aware that operating rooms are actually supplied extra oxygen, to compensate for the reduction in oxygen flow from mask wearing?

https://healthimpactnews.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/School-Child-Wearing-Face-Masks.jpg

It’s criminal to force children to wear masks all day
To my mind, it’s criminal (not hyperbole) to force children to wear masks all day. Setting aside the very real psychological effects, we’re going to have a generation of brain damaged children.

Ever heard the expression, “Not enough oxygen at birth?” That’s a joke at the expense of a mentally challenged person, but that’s literally what we’re doing.

And we’re told it’s to “keep us safe”! We’re told this by doctors who actually don’t know about PPE and laypeople who have no clue.

So, you can choose to believe me or not, but I was the editor for a quarter century of a magazine that had a strong occupational health and safety mandate, and I can tell you that the mask wearing currently mandated by governments and private businesses offers no health benefit whatsoever, in no way protects you or anyone else from any virus, and actually does you damage beyond wearing it for a few minutes.

Got that? Good. Now please share this message and get the conversation going with parents, who must end this masking of children immediately.

This is a very serious matter. And related to that, let me just state this doesn’t end for me when the lockdown ends or the masking ends.

No, this ends for me when every politician and bureaucrat who inflicted this travesty, this crime against humanity, on the population of Canada (and other affected countries) is in the dock, and faces their misdeeds in a court of law.

And as for those of you who have put masks on young children, I will have a long memory on that score. A very long memory.

END NOTE: The CDC and WHO have acknowledged that asymptomatic people do not spread the virus, so the case for masks for such people is moot in the first place."

It is unfortunate that people are really programmed to believe MSM and the government. I see my friend post info about how wrong it is to wear the masks. He posts articles like the one in the previous post. He quotes doctors, etc. Each time he gets dozens of people attacking him and asking for some solid info....people are not recognizing that physicians with years of experince in the medical field are qualified to say that we should not be wearing masks.

Even though I was sick for 3 months because of some kind of flu, apparently not covid19, because the tests told otherwise, I still don't think masks are the answer. Rather I'm with David Icke and the others who believe that this is being used against us who don't want to believe in what they are trying force us, which is that we should wear a mask all the time. So this is what we're against right now and we should say **** you for all those who are trying to force this.

[Patient]

I have friends at work who have to wear masks in order to be allowed to work. They were healthy befor but the masks are making them sic. Not news to us but in order to earn money to live this is what we are forced to do?
I am honestly nervous due to the rumour/news that quarantine camps are being made...it will be people like me that end up in there...I am not going to wear a freaking mask to make myself sic.

[thepainterdoug]

Im seeing a real push in media and TV especially, to normalize masks as a permanent part of life from here on in. Its insanity.

People being portrayed in normal settings, alone walking or working , no one near them happily talking away with a mask as if this is now normal life.

It's coming. The ground is given up first through fear, then the belief it wont last , and then the normal acclimatization of it all . And thats how it all goes. All freedoms.

The look that I get from people when I am out and about and I am not wearing a mask - they look at me with fear, some are disgusted by me, others with a hateful glare.

It is like I am an escaped lunatic walking around like I am wearing the face makeup of the joker.

My wife had a women yell at her "you are going to kill my baby!"

END NOTE: The CDC and WHO have acknowledged that asymptomatic people do not spread the virus, so the case for masks for such people is moot in the first place."

This statement is both wrong and dangerous. Both CDC and WHO acknowledge asymptomatic transmission, and more than that, people are the most infectious (most able to transmit the disease) 1-2 days before the first symptoms.

It's one thing to debate whether wearing a mask will prevent you from getting sick (answer: Only a fitted N-95 or similar mask. These masks are called respirators). It's another to pretend that there is no science saying that wearing a mask will help you to not transmit, should you be infected. That's not only true, it's settled science.

But to say that CDC and WHO are saying that asymptomatic people don't spread the virus is dead wrong and dangerous. People generally spread the virus the most before they know they're sick. And wearing a mask prevents you from spreading the virus but not you from getting sick.

The mask thing is as follows: A respirator is any mask through which all of the air passes or any device through which all of the air passes before you breathe it. A mask is anything that covers all or part of your face. Only a respirator will keep you from getting sick, and it has to be fitted. A surgical mask or cloth mask does not have this as its purpose. It's purpose is to keep you from spewing if you cough or sneeze. Those spews reach 6 feet away from you. That is why there is a distance recommendation of 6 feet.

We have known these things about masks and respirators for a long time, and they have been part of public health and protocols for first responders for diseases like TB and meningitis for at least a decade and a half. We have to learn these things about BSE and in particular PPE in health care classes and pass exams on them to get certified.

Don't spread information that can cause someone else to get this virus. Everybody has a 20% chance of having a serious case. People with underlying conditions have 3x risk factors for obesity, 3x for diabetes, 2x for hypertension, etc. Someone you know and or love can easily be the one who codes.

You were doing well until this part (bolded).
Can you please provide references that back up your statement?

[Patient]

I would like to go back to "who has an isolated particulate of covid-19?" Because the CDC stated on their web page that they do not have one. This same question is being asked in the UK - not sure, but I think the people (some group) are pushing this question into the courts.

If this is indseed the case, why do we need a mask? Bill gates should wear a mask to hide his snickering smile - you can read his personality in his face. He is like a little kid who is lying to the teacher and having a hard time keeping a straight face.

[Old Student]

8 out of 10 have mild cases (CDC), 10-15% have severe (WHO). Identifying a serious case as one where you can't walk across the room and need some hospitalization, which is the opposite of the definition of 'mild' you get 20% have serious cases, of which between 50% and 75% of those serious cases are severe.

The 8 out of 10 is available, everywhere, e.g. WebMD (https://www.webmd.com/lung/qa/what-percentage-of-covid19-cases-are-mild).

In the first months of covid19, the medical adviser to the HK government + virologist Dr Yuen said on TV that this pandemic is going to stay in the world for a long long time. I wondered why he said that. Who could know how serious it was and who could predict such a thing? At that time, mandatory mask-wearing had not begun. These people give away too much in their talks. I am surprised people cannot see the conspiracy behind. Maybe it is just too big to disbelieve.

Yes, I'm seeing it too and some the messages are:

Get ready for the new normal, the great reset, the new world order, the 4th industrial revolution.

Wear a mask, avoid friends and isolate yourself, test, test, test and take vaccines. Then and only then will you be safe. How many will recognize the propaganda?


Normal people wear a mask and do it correctly. Non-normal people don't care about others, are out of touch or think they're better than everyone else.

Hello Old Student. Since some days here in France school going kids from 6 years on are forced to wear a mask. That is 8h per day and with months of lockdown announced. I am very upset because I have all the data of bacterial, neurological and psychological damage that is going to happen to them. I have seen the demonstrations showing how a mask will not stop a 0,06 till 0,16 micron sized virus to pass through it . That would also mean a mask will not stop schoolchildren from passing on a flu to each other. But I listen to your arguments.
If one is opposed to masks for kids you are heavily criticized that the kids will kill the elderly. Terrible that is even if I have a divergent opinion about the health state of these elders at risk.

You write also; Only a respirator will keep you from getting sick, and it has to be fitted
Could you please expand this argument and advise what must be done for kids not to pass on the flu or this socalled covid when visiting their grandparents? I also think of a definition or a brand of mask you are familiar with. Would it be sufficient for only the elder to wear a mask? We must restore the smiles to the faces of the children and reduce all terror. Thank you in advance.

[DaveToo]

Let's examine the 11,940,632 active cases today. (Nov 2, 2020):

11,854,880 (99%) are mild condition cases.
85,752 (1%) are serious/critical condition cases.


I think you would agree that there is a big difference between 20% and 1%?
A 20-fold difference!


And these are just the symptomatic cases!
When you factor in the 40% of cases that are asymptomatic, the number of serious/critical condition cases falls way below 1%.

[Old Student]

I am very upset because I have all the data of bacterial, neurological and psychological damage that is going to happen to them. I have seen the demonstrations showing how a mask will not stop a 0,06 till 0,16 micron sized virus to pass through it . That would also mean a mask will not stop schoolchildren from passing on a flu to each other. But I listen to your arguments.

I am not sure what "bacterial, neurological, and psychological damage" you are supposing to happen from wearing a mask. We don't have that data, apparently here, we do know that children below 2 are usually not very capable of wearing a mask, this also happens when administering supplemental oxygen and so in the U.S. at least, mask mandates do not require masks for that age group. But that is because it is impracticable not because it wouldn't help curtail the virus if it were.

In re 0.6-0.16 microns, there is this study in Lancet (https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf?pii=S2213-2600%2820%2930323-4) which talks about aerosol spread. It's conclusions are that non-mechanically filtered respirators filter 23% at 1 micron. It also discusses that 95% of spread (they were dealing with a hospital setting) was above 4 microns, and that between 2 and 4 microns, there were more Sars-Cov-2 virus strands detected by PCR than viable. They said only PAPR (powered air purifying respirators) were totally effective.

It's important to know how that translates to public health measures. You asked about my statement about respirators,


Could you please expand this argument and advise what must be done for kids not to pass on the flu or this socalled covid when visiting their grandparents? I also think of a definition or a brand of mask you are familiar with. Would it be sufficient for only the elder to wear a mask? We must restore the smiles to the faces of the children and reduce all terror. Thank you in advance.

A respirator is as I defined them before, a device that filters the air before it gets to the person breathing through it.

We have a tendency to call everything a mask, but an N-95 mask (called different things in different countries) is a respirator, a surgical mask is not. An N-95 has layers of special materials to filter the air and will keep particulates above 2 microns out with 95% probability. It is a fitted device -- for instance, it cannot function as a respirator on a man with a beard, and fitting consists of using the right size and putting it on and checking its seal (around the edges). Once done, this will filter out particles.

Other masks, cloth masks, surgical masks are really there to be shields. They prevent droplets coming from an infected person from disseminating by blocking them when they are mostly big and by changing their direction. The do not prevent a person wearing one from inhaling air that has not been filtered by them, they do not fit to the face. Their point in the current pandemic is to keep a possibly infected person from polluting the air around them with virus when they sneeze or cough or to some extent shout.

They are very effective for that, we have natural experiment data here in the U.S., because we're doing such a haphazard job on public health, coming out of states where the mask mandates were town by town since the most recent uptick started around U.S. Labor Day (1st weekend in September). The mandate towns have flat curves the non-mandate towns have sharp upward curves trending towards exponential.

Wearing one won't keep you from getting the virus, it keeps others from being infected should you be positive and not symptomatic yet.

Wearing respirators is something that is in most public health mandates in the world right now reserved for medical -- first responders, hospital workers. In the U.S., full PPE (cap, gown, mask, shield, gloves, booties) is reserved for those doing "aerosolizing procedures". That means principally those doing intubations.

As for "all the terror", this is a pandemic. Pandemics are or should be terrifying. That's how people gradually fall in line to stop them, in the absence of vaccines and definitive treatments. That's simple survival of the species, not some kind of plot, conspiracy, or other control thing. People should be terrified of a disease which might kill substantial numbers of people and could kill anybody. That's a survival mechanism and isn't actually wrong. The world has not been through one in a long time (in the developed world), it is very interesting that people here in the U.S. who immigrated from countries where that isn't the case have little trouble taking mitigation in stride. The mitigations in West Africa for Ebola were far more stringent. People who survived those have no problems with these mask mandates. Or the distancing. They've seen it work before.

My mother is having no problem with this, e.g., even though she is basically on total lockdown. She grew up when there were killer diseases and at one point caught one. Her mother was a "long hauler" (= permanent damage) from the 1918 flu pandemic. One of the people in my household comes from the third world. He finds the people who are complaining about masks to be babies who should grow up. I'm not that strict, but as a sidelined health care worker in this, I do find it strange that people are so upset about having to protect themselves and the people around them.

Edited from here;

Sorry, I was going to talk about the less than 1 micron aerosols and the public health around them. The public health for these is to isolate ventilation systems, and to quarantine people who are positive for the disease. What public health people worry about for aerosol spread is air conditioning (HVAC). The classic example of that is Legionnaire's Disease. The Army Corps of Engineers set up facilities here in the U.S. after the first spike in New York tri-state area. They did this mitigation, installing separate air conditioning in hotel rooms used for COVID patients, etc. If you go back to the SARS epidemic 2003, you can see some of those recommendations in WHO and CDC documents -- e.g. only transporting people in ambulances which have segregated compartments to minimize infections among ambulance crews, etc.

Quarantine requires an ability to test and contact trace. You might be able to do that in France, here in the U.S. right now, levels are so high that contact tracing is impossible, so we only have quarantine as a method around that.

[Philippe]

Thank you for your answer that helps readers to understand what motivates authorities to enforce this measure of mask wearing.

I will need to find time to search and counter check the source of information that there exist aerosol particles of 0.06 – 0.16 micron. At very first cross reading I do not see a mention in the Lancet report that they exist. That means that I have to accept that a respiratory mask may protect grandparents when receiving a visit from their grandchildren. (Even if I know theories that explain why the aged risk cases are so vulnerable)

On the other hand I am very annoyed that you do not have any access to reports of of bacterial, neurological and psychological damage that can happen to children from wearing masks. What kind of censorship is that ? I have pictures of a German laboratory test showing 82 bacteria colonies and 4 mold colonies on a mask worn by a child at school for 8 hours. I have a video lecture of a German neurologist who explains the extreme importance of oxygen for the brain cells of growing up youngsters. She warns for permanent damage and reduced cognitive abilities. As for psychological damage anybody can realize how bad it is for a child not showing its face and emotions, to mention only that. Dreadful.

Neither can I verify what you report from the USA:
The mandate towns have flat curves the non-mandate towns have sharp upward curves trending towards exponential. Do we have to understand infections registered with the very controversial PCR test ?

But what is also shocking is how you embrace the need of terror to make the population accept the rules. I can only agree that the general public can be very dumb but they can be very smart also. They are not cattle. Years ago I was activist against the terror from authoritarian mental health organizations that used electro choc treatment to cure widespread mental insanity. And they have been proven wrong It is visible now that we have health organizations using similar methods. How much is wrong with their science?

[Old Student]

Okay, first off, I don't know what the German document you are referring to is, it is most likely not censored here. But I would look just a bit askance, since we have had people run marathons in N-95s here to prove they do not restrict oxygen, and I have worn masks and N-95s before and can attest they do no such thing. As for bacteria buildups, on anything I would assume that's true, but so would be build ups on anything else they are wearing. So again, I'm not very inclined to believe the German document is a final word.

The report from the USA does not depend explicitly or implicitly on test methods, and the PCR test is more accurate than the rapid testing antigen tests. A natural experiment is an experiment that was not set up on purpose, but data that just occurs in the format of an experiment -- two groups that because of some event or circumstance, are comparable and one used the method to be tested and one did not -- the same as having a test and control group. This happened in several places in the Great Plains states because they have governors who were opposed to mask mandates, and the mandates ended up being imposed at the municipal level. Neighboring municipalities with or without mandates performed differently. There is no possibility of quarreling with such natural experiments, the data is what the data is.


But what is also shocking is how you embrace the need of terror to make the population accept the rules.
You misunderstand. What I was stating is that previous pandemics, especially those before the modern era of vaccinations and germ-based theory and its derived public health, naturally gave way at some point to distancing -- often very very cruelly -- and segregation of the populations that stopped the spread. One example is the Black Plague, but there are many others in the Americas from the "virgin population" pandemics during colonization.

Eventually, as a defense mechanism, members of the human species move to isolate and distance themselves from infected people perceived as contagious. At some point that distancing does actually decrease the spread and the pandemic ends.

It isn't the preferred method in modern civilization, it's cruel, and many of the shunning and distancing behaviors are cruel, and not always appropriate -- cf. religious scourges, inquisitions, witch burnings, leper colonies, etc.

But it does happen. Distancing and quarantine do work. Masks are a form of distancing in a way, they keep the droplets of a cough from landing on you. Washing your hands keeps it off your hands with which you touch your face and rub your eyes. For those of us drilled in PPE use, we mostly never touch our faces if we are wearing PPE, because it becomes instinctual. We always wash hands after removing gloves. We treat any liquids from a patient's body as the equivalent of infected blood.

So you just aren't going to convince people who have done even the lowest level of health care that this is all some kind of plot or hoax. It isn't. It needs to be treated the way we treat something like TB or meningitis. But then, most of us don't believe that needing to wear PPE because of a public health directive is nefarious or an infringement of some kind, it's what you do if you don't want people to get sick.

I would recommend anyone to listen to Judy Mikovits explaining a lot about what it is we are actually facing and why masks exacerbate some conditions:

Mask issue (for me) solved...

I am fortunate that I happen to have a medical condition that precludes my ability to where a mask... and because I am in the great state of Texas, if someone asks me anything about this, I can just tell them to call the number on the exemption - my Doctor, The awesome Dr. Lozano (who, by the way, has me on a great weight loss program where I once was 222 and today hit 188 (with 25 or so more to go) was such a great relief to discover. I fired my old doctor on the spot (she refused to share with me what treatment options she was open to if I somehow caught "the virus").

Is It Time for Full-Time Mask Mandates?

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Despite claims of having a pandemic plan in place, and despite having conducted a global coronavirus pandemic response exercise a mere 10 weeks before the COVID-19 outbreak, planners appear to have overlooked the most important part of pandemic planning, namely researching and identifying the most effective response measures
Universal mask wearing, like the lockdowns, has no basis in science. On the contrary, the available scientific evidence near-conclusively shows that mask wearing does not reduce infection rates
Recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data reveal 85% of COVID-19 patients had “always” or “often” worn a cloth mask or face covering in the 14 days preceding their illness
Despite lack of scientific support for universal mask wearing, Dr. Anthony Fauci now supports a federal mask mandate, saying “the data on masks speaks for itself”
The World Health Organization encourages universal cloth mask use, not because they’ve been proven to work best but rather because they encourage “cultural expression” and “offer a source of income for those able to manufacture masks within their communities”

"When you look at the timeline1,2 of statements about the pandemic made by government officials, public health spokespersons and media pundits who unquestioningly echo the talking points du jour, it’s a panoply of mixed messages to say the least.

This, despite former White House Coronavirus Task Force lead Dr. Anthony Fauci’s February 25, 2020, assurance that the U.S. was “reasonably well prepared” as it has had a pandemic plan in place “for years.”3

As noted in a Fox News article4 published in mid-April 2020, many of the statements have not aged well and, now, months later, the situation has hardly gotten any better.

Pandemic Planning Clearly Lacking in Key Areas

Despite claims of having a pandemic plan in place, and despite having conducted a global coronavirus pandemic response exercise a mere 10 weeks before the actual outbreak, the planners appear to have overlooked the most important part of pandemic planning, namely researching and identifying the most effective response measures.

Instead, the October 2019 “Event 201”5 pandemic preparedness exercise largely focused around how to censor “misinformation” about the pandemic and how to ensure compliance with whatever measures were dictated.

Aside from the wholly unscientific strategy of isolating healthy, productive individuals for months on end and closing the doors to small businesses while allowing shopping to continue in large box stores like Walmart, one of the most controversial pandemic response measures has been the mandating of mask wearing.

This measure, like the lockdowns, actually has no basis in science. On the contrary, the available scientific evidence near-conclusively shows that mask wearing does not prevent the spread of infectious disease.

Most studies have focused on influenza, and the results from such studies are more than sufficient since coronaviruses are about half the size of flu viruses. Hence, if a mask cannot prevent the spread of influenza, it’s illogical to assume they can prevent the spread of a much smaller virus, especially if it’s airborne.

Recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data6,7,8 seem to confirm this, as 71% of COVID-19 patients reported “always” wearing a cloth mask or face covering in the 14 days preceding their illness; 14% reported having worn a mask “often.”

Despite the dearth of scientific support — and despite the dramatic decline in deaths and improved treatments — many areas are now starting to insist on more stringent measures than were implemented during the height of the pandemic. Rather than moving forward, we seem to be moving backward. The obvious question is why?

Fauci’s Mixed Messages
Fauci has been a prominent public leader for the coronavirus response in the U.S., but his flip-flopping on issues have done little to guide the nation toward a resolution of the pandemic. This is particularly true when it comes to mask wearing.
NUHsEmlIoE4

In a 60 Minute COVID-19 segment aired March 8, 2020,9 Fauci said masks are “important for someone who is infected to prevent them from infecting someone else,” but that “right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks; there’s no reason to walk around with a mask.”

He also noted that “when you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask may make you feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.” He also pointed out there are unintended consequences of mask wearing that can increase your infection risk, things like touching your mask and then touching your face.

Overall, his message in March was that masks should be reserved for health care professionals. A couple weeks later, in early April 2020, he suddenly did a radical about-face and changed his messaging, urging people to wear cloth masks in public unless they could maintain a 6-foot distance from others.10

Mid-June 2020, when pressed about his turnabout on masks, he stated11 he’d initially downplayed the benefits of face masks due to concerns about personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages. The clear subtext was “I lied to you because I thought it was for the greater good.” If he is willing to lie about this, how can he possibly be trusted about other recommendations?

In March, he accurately confirmed that masks are ineffective and offer a false sense of security. Then, when he did recommend mask wearing, he recommended wearing the least effective mask alternative — cloth masks, for which there are no standards at all.

At the end of July 2020 — just days after getting caught at a baseball game with his mask pulled below his chin12 — Fauci started recommending the addition of face shields to protect the mucous membranes of your eyes.13 Then, October 23, 2020, he suddenly announced his support for a federal mask mandate to ensure nationwide compliance.14

Why? Not only has the science not changed — it still shows masks do not decrease infection rates — but a federal mandate also fails to take into account the level of threat in individual states or cities. What’s more, in a September 15, 2020, press conference, he stated that “a national mandate probably would not work.”15

Some areas have and are doing quite well in terms of infection rates, hospitalizations and deaths. Why should people in those areas be forced to wear masks even in the absence of a significant threat? (And that’s supposing masks worked in the first place.) As reported by CNN October 23, 2020:16

“’If people are not wearing masks, then maybe we should be mandating it,’ the leading infectious disease expert told CNN’s Erin Burnett Friday … Mask mandates may be tricky to enforce, but it might be time to call for them, Fauci said.

‘There's going to be a difficulty enforcing it, but if everyone agrees that this is something that's important and they mandate it and everybody pulls together and says, you know, we're going to mandate it but let's just do it, I think that would be a great idea to have everybody do it uniformly,’ he said.

As cooler weather comes, people need to ‘double down’ on measures that work, Fauci said. ‘Universal mask wearing’ is one, he said, as is keeping a distance from others and frequent hand washing.”

Mask Wearing — A Measure That Works?
Ironically, Fauci has stated that “the data on face masks speaks for itself.”17 Now, if we were all to agree that the data does speak for itself, then there would be no mask mandates because the data clearly do NOT support this measure for the public at large.

As noted by Denis Rancourt, Ph.D., a former full professor of physics and researcher with the Ontario Civil Liberties Association in Canada, all of the well-designed studies that have been published so far have failed to find a statistically significant advantage to wearing a mask versus not wearing one.

Even research published in the CDC’s own journal found no significant effect of face masks on the transmission of influenza, and research published in the New England Journal of Medicine in May 2020 noted that:18

“We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to COVID-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic COVID-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes).

The chance of catching COVID-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic …

It is also clear that masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are not only tools, they are also talismans that may help increase health care workers’ perceived sense of safety, well-being, and trust in their hospitals.

Although such reactions may not be strictly logical, we are all subject to fear and anxiety, especially during times of crisis. One might argue that fear and anxiety are better countered with data and education than with a marginally beneficial mask …”

Type of Mask Matters
gZ66wJFD3bs

According to Fauci, a slow-motion video (above) of an individual talking and sneezing with and without a cloth mask graphically illustrates that masks work.19

However, the devil’s in the details, and many are using cloth masks or N95-rated masks with breathing valves. As demonstrated in the video below by researchers at the Florida Atlantic University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science, masks with exhalation ports allow potentially infectious droplets to pass through unfiltered.

As such, these masks do nothing to protect others if you happen to be infected with the virus. As reported by Florida Atlantic University news desk:20

“For the study,21 just published in the journal Physics of Fluids, researchers employed flow visualization in a laboratory setting using a laser light sheet and a mixture of distilled water and glycerin to generate the synthetic fog that made up the content of a cough-jet.

They visualized droplets expelled from a mannequin’s mouth while simulating coughing and sneezing. By placing a plastic face shield and an N95-rated face mask with a valve, they were able to map out the paths of droplets and demonstrate how they performed …

Visualizations for the face mask equipped with an exhalation port indicate that a large number of droplets pass through the exhale valve unfiltered, which significantly reduces its effectiveness as a means of source control.”

JEy1cF2pMdM

Despite the fact there are clear differences between N95 respirators, valved N95 masks, surgical masks, homemade cloth masks, cotton bandanas and any number of other face coverings, health officials have been strangely mum about these specifics in their mask recommendations.

Even stranger, when the type of mask is mentioned in the recommendations, it’s typically been cloth masks, which clearly provide the least reliable protection of all. The World Health Organization, for example, encourages universal cloth mask use — not because they’ve been proven to work best but rather because they encourage “cultural expression” and “offer a source of income for those able to manufacture masks within their communities.”22

If public health officials and politicians continue with mask mandates, then informed citizens might question if current policy is intended more to scare them than follow the science. ~ Stanley Young, Ph.D.
If masks were in fact a key pandemic control measure, wouldn’t infection control be at the top of the list? As it stands, infection control is nowhere on the list of justifications for universal mask use given by the WHO.23

Many Experts Have Noted Lack of Scientific Justification
Quite a few experts in various fields have now spoken out about the lack of evidence to support universal mask mandates. Among the latest is Stanley Young, Ph.D., an applied statistician who currently serves on the Environmental Protection Agency’s scientific advisory board. In an October 14, 2020, article, he writes:24

“Dr. Mandy Cohen has told us we must wear masks in many kinds of settings. She told us that wearing the masks will help ‘fight’… SARS-CoV-2. Gov. Cooper has told us they are relying on ‘data and science.’ I am a scientist. I disagree.

Not long ago, I considered the COVID data our health experts were giving us. If masks were so effective, why were we not seeing improvement in the numbers? I decided to dive into the literature ...

I studied the studies and found one for influenza. The peer-reviewed meta-analysis study looked at flu viral transmission, using 10 randomized clinical trials. When you combine all 10, the study showed that the results are consistent with pure chance.

Just how did the researcher characterize their results? ‘The evidence from RCTs suggested that the use of face masks either by infected persons or by uninfected persons does not have a substantial effect on influenza transmission …

In pooled analysis, we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks.’ Adding up those infected while wearing a mask, 156/3495, 4.46%, and those infected while not wearing a mask, 161/3052, 5.23%, the results are consistent with chance.

I presented my opinion to Dr. Cohen and her staff. After some prodding, I heard from Mr. Fleischman, a senior official on Mandy’s staff. He provided me with another study that dealt specifically with the COVID-19 virus. Here is what I found.

The study he sent was a meta-analysis that looked at transmission of the virus. A total of 19 randomized studies were summarized. Here is what they had to say, ‘Medical masks were not effective, and cloth masks even less effective.’ They also noted that ‘… respirators, if worn continually during a shift, were effective but not if worn intermittently.’

Mechanistically, masks have always only been thought to stop large droplets. Transmission through very fine droplets cannot be stopped by ordinary masks. Most recently, the CDC has confirmed that the virus can be transmitted through fine droplets.

The meta-analysis that Mr. Fleischman had sent me supports this claim because, again, it showed no benefit to wearing masks. Incidentally, the Netherlands recently dropped the mask mandate saying the research did not support wearing them …

These two studies provide no scientific basis for one size fit all; if public health officials and politicians continue with mask mandates, then informed citizens might question if current policy is intended more to scare them than follow the science.”

Journals Refuse to Publish Negative Mask Study
Perhaps most egregious of all, Danish researchers recently conducted a randomized trial in an effort to prove the usefulness of face masks against COVID-19 infection but ended up proving the opposite. They now are complaining they cannot find a publisher. Peer review journals are simply refusing to accept the paper. Why?

The controversy has been covered in a Twitter thread25 by Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter. The study,26 which is currently only available in German, concluded tens of millions of contaminations can occur each day as people use the masks inappropriately, touch their faces and neglect to wash their hands.

For this reason, universal mask wearing may actually do more harm than good. This is clearly important information that should be disseminated to the general public, yet medical journals are shunning the paper, probably because it doesn’t align with their narrative that supports universal mask recommendations.

Undisclosed Mask Dangers
There’s also evidence to suggest chronic mask wearing can have other unintended health effects. For example, another paper27,28 that has yet to undergo peer-review suggests mask fibers can pose a health risk. According to this paper:29,30

“There is no biological history of mass masking until the current era. It is important to consider possible outcomes of this society-wide experiment … Masked individuals have measurably higher inspiratory flow than non-masked individuals.

This study is of new masks removed from manufacturer packaging, as well as a laundered cloth mask, examined microscopically. Loose particulate was seen on each type of mask. Also, tight and loose fibers were seen on each type of mask.

If every foreign particle and every fiber in every facemask is always secure and not detachable by airflow, then there should be no risk of inhalation of such particles and fibers.

However, if even a small portion of mask fibers is detachable by inspiratory airflow, or if there is debris in mask manufacture or packaging or handling, then there is the possibility of not only entry of foreign material to the airways, but also entry to deep lung tissue, and potential pathological consequences of foreign bodies in the lungs …

Further concerns of macrophage response and other immune and inflammatory and fibroblast response to such inhaled particles specifically from facemasks should be the subject of more research.

If widespread masking continues, then the potential for inhaling mask fibers and environmental and biological debris continues on a daily basis for hundreds of millions of people. This should be alarming for physicians and epidemiologists knowledgeable in occupational hazards.”

Another potential concern is related to the plastics used. For example, surgical masks are made of polypropylene,31 a known asthma trigger.32 If you have asthma, wearing a surgical mask could potentially worsen your condition.

“Mask mouth” — tooth decay, gum line recession and potent bad breath — is another effect dentists around the world have raised alarm about. Dr. Rob Ramondi, a dentist and cofounder of One Manhattan Dental told the New York Post:33

“We’re seeing inflammation in people’s gums that have been healthy forever, and cavities in people who have never had them before. About 50% of our patients are being impacted by this, [so] we decided to name it ‘mask mouth’ …”

Other common complaints associated with extensive mask wearing include fatigue, headaches, shortness of breath and anxiety,34 likely due to hypoxia (reduced blood oxygenation).35

According to Dr. Russel Blaylock, face masks “pose serious risks to the healthy,” as the mask can lead to a concentration of viruses in the nasal passages where they can “enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain.”

The Mask Conundrum
So, to summarize, while face masks, overall, do not significantly reduce infection rates, N95 respirators (those without breathing valves) are the most effective in terms of blocking respiratory droplets.

However, they’re also more likely to cause hypoxia when worn for hours on end. According to Blaylock,36 “It is known that the N95 mask, if worn for hours, can reduce blood oxygenation as much as 20%, which can lead to a loss of consciousness.” What’s worse, hypoxia is also associated with impairment of immune function.

“Studies have shown that hypoxia can inhibit the type of main immune cells used to fight viral infections called the CD4+ T-lymphocyte. This occurs because the hypoxia increases the level of a compound called hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which inhibits T-lymphocytes and stimulates a powerful immune inhibitor cell called the Tregs.

This sets the stage for contracting any infection, including COVID-19 and making the consequences of that infection much graver. In essence, your mask may very well put you at an increased risk of infections and if so, having a much worse outcome,” Blaylock writes.37

On the other hand, cloth masks and other types of homemade cloth facial coverings, which are most often recommended for the general public, are also the most useless in terms of infection control. So, what gives?

Consider Peaceful Civil Disobedience

KWqMADHBJd8

Clearly, most people are being bombarded with mainstream media propaganda that seeks to convince you that masks are necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19. So, it is entirely understandable that you would want everyone to wear masks because you believe they will save lives.

However, if you carefully evaluate the evidence, independent of the mainstream narrative, it is likely you will conclude that this recommendation has nothing to do with decreasing the spread of the virus but more to indoctrinate you into submission.

Most objections to mask-wearing requirements are not to the masks themselves, but to the mandate, and well-documented consequences such as oxygen deprivation should give anybody pause when considering a legal requirement of wearing masks in public.

We already see that most people wear masks in public regardless of mandates.38 But it is entirely irresponsible and unethical for governments to mandate such a practice on anybody.

In my interview with Patrick Wood, he provides compelling evidence that this has been a carefully crafted technocratic strategy that has been in place for the last 50 years or so. By submitting to these orders, we are likely setting the stage for inevitable mandatory vaccinations.

With COVID-19 fatality rates39,40,41 as low as they are, mandatory mask wearing, social distancing, lockdowns and business shut-downs are not only ineffective and unnecessary, but these measures are also contributing to a global economic collapse. It appears the only justification for this strategy is to increase fear, tyranny and transfer of wealth to the upper 0.00001%.

Remember back in March 2020 when they said we just need to slow down the rate of infection to avoid overcrowding hospitals? How did we go from that to now having to wear masks everywhere until every trace of the virus has been eliminated, even though a vast majority remain asymptomatic and don’t even know they have the virus unless they get tested?

I predict it is likely that, at some point in the future, a tradeoff will be offered: Mask mandates will be dropped provided everyone gets vaccinated. By then, many may be willing to take just about anything as long as they don’t have to wear a mask anymore.

I would encourage you to read up on the many open questions relating to fast-tracked COVID-19 vaccines before making your decision. Overall, it seems the best way to avoid having to make such a devious trade is to engage in civil disobedience now, and go unmasked.

If civil disobedience feels disconcerting, keep in mind that in many areas, mask rules include the following exception: “You must wear a mask unless you can maintain a 6-foot distance.” In other words, if you’re without a mask and maintain 6-foot social distancing, you’re still in compliance with the rules as written.

Oneness Versus the 1%
Low Zinc Levels Increase Risk of Death With COVID

[Old Student]

Not sure where your figures are from since they are way below the current U.S. case fatality rate. Sorry, it just isn't true that the rate at which cases get above mild is 1%. We have many more hospitalizations than that.

[Old Student]

Um, here's the Wikipedia entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Mercola#Views_and_controversy) for Dr. Joseph Mercola. He's "controversial" at best, a quack to most. Sorry.

But you should be able to see that from the "research" he cites: Breitbart? Fox News? He's purveying junk. Stuff about zinc preventing death from COVID has no basis. COVID attacks ACE sites. What does zinc have to do with that? It causes cytokine storms, what does zinc have to do with that?

And I already dealt with the supposed oxygen loss from wearing masks. It just doesn't happen. People who include this with their "science" are not scientists, they're quacks.

Answer to Old Student in Post #668

THIS IS AN URGENCY BECAUSE THE CRISIS IS TURNING ON THE CHILDREN. THAT IS MY PRIORITY TO GET ALL ARGUMENTS TO STOP THAT
Yesterday furious Tory MP Sir Charles Walker accused the government of “’criminalizing parents for seeing children and children for seeing parents”. The new measure in the lower school in France is being challenged by lawyer Carlo Brusa

I will temporarily advise that risk cases in grandparents wear N-95s when seeing grandchildren. But they must leave the children free of it. No harm or psychological breaking of future adults.
You are not informed and not “”inclined’” to listen to counter arguments. I also referred to neurological (possibly permanent) and psychological damage building up.

You keep referring to the great danger of this pandemic. When your scientists will have drawn up a list of all the harm that has been done to the body, all the toxicity, the poisons build up, etc you will see the real pandemic. This civilization has become a bunch of softies afraid of a virus. And the scientists just like the psychiatrists with their electroshock are hitting at the sick with terror and brutal measures. What is being enforced is scientific barbarism trying to cure the wrong epidemic.

You as a person who practices special meditation techniques should realize a couple of things more.
There exist energy and higher emotions levels where viruses or illness not affect persons. You certainly know the testimonies of priests or nurses that worked among leper persons or in infectious environments on the battle field and who were not affected.
Yes people can probably wear masks to run a marathon. As a meditation praticioner you also know of fakirs who eat iron and walk on fire. The spirit can do extraordinary things. My take is that it is extreme and quite crazy.
I wonder how you with experiments like "clear body" accept putting masks in your aura and etheric field. I would check in what heavy energies you really tap in with the practice to accept so much arguments for panic and brutality. Sincerely.

[Patient]

So you say that wearing a mask does not reduce oxygen intake?

Old student, I think you need to become a new student. Time for a new education.

[Old Student]

Yes, I've worn them for medical when necessary for years. They don't. I don't really need a "new education", you need to stop pretending that precautions taken for over 100 years for situations of mitigating infectious disease spread have suddenly become harmful because you don't want to implement them.

There are lots of respirators used in emergency medicine, and even more used in HAZMAT, fire, and in hospital settings. Suddenly, because someone turned wearing masks into a political theater thing, they are all harmful? Don't think so.

Nobody -- nobody -- is proposing that the general public wear N-95s which are the only "mask" out there for sort of daily PPE use. Those would be the most restrictive on your air supply if you were wearing them, and I've worn them for hours, the doctors and nurses in the ED and the COVID wards are wearing them for 14 hour shifts. No. They don't impede getting oxygen. Put one on, put a pulse ox on your finger and see for yourself.

As for other respirators, the only ones used in the field except for HAZMAT and fire are used to deliver oxygen, and those certainly don't impede oxygen intake at all.

As for non-respirator masks like surgical masks and cloth masks, no, they don't even stop air from getting in around the sides, let alone prevent it from getting to your lungs.

If you weren't getting enough oxygen, you would exhibit symptoms of hypoxia. Show me an article that documents anyone showing these, or a lower pulse ox reading.

[Old Student]

They would have no effect at all. I have a breathing problem that sometimes is present when I am sleeping and that does affect my clear body experiments in the following way: I get taught how to end the problem -- so far two techniques have been taught: Reaching inside and shaking my esophagus and trachea, and generating surges of nausea. Both work well, both are much easier to do when I am not having the problem than when I am. But I could easily do all of it with a mask on.


I will temporarily advise that risk cases in grandparents wear N-95s when seeing grandchildren. But they must leave the children free of it. No harm or psychological breaking of future adults.
You are not informed and not “”inclined’” to listen to counter arguments. I also referred to neurological (possibly permanent) and psychological damage building up.

You will advise that? Do you practice medicine?
You are making a mistake. Children should not visit grandparents if the latter are at special risk without quarantining first. As for not putting a mask on a child because of psychological damage, children are not the "bunch of softies" you are making them out to be. It is far better to mitigate and try not to spread this infection than to condemn these children to living year after year in this pandemic mode because a segment of society wants to rebel against settled science and do things that spread infection. Have you seen our U.S. statistics lately? That is what will happen in France if you let people free-for-all on mitigation. We've lost more people than in all the wars other than WWII and the Civil War combined. We're losing more than a thousand Americans a day. We have 100,000 new cases a day. We have hospitals overwhelmed with serious cases in six states. This place has become a hellhole because of "I don't want to wear a mask or refrain from large gatherings" babies.



You keep referring to the great danger of this pandemic. When your scientists will have drawn up a list of all the harm that has been done to the body, all the toxicity, the poisons build up, etc you will see the real pandemic. This civilization has become a bunch of softies afraid of a virus. And the scientists just like the psychiatrists with their electroshock are hitting at the sick with terror and brutal measures. What is being enforced is scientific barbarism trying to cure the wrong epidemic.

You worry about children being "sick with terror" but don't worry about people being dead with virus? On what planet is that humane? Only doctors take the Hippocratic Oath in this country by rules, but it stands as a given for those lower down on the medical totem pole. "First, do no harm." Screwing around with quack theories on the internet is doing harm. Us lower downs in the medical world have more exposure to BBP and airborne and droplet vectors than some others. We wear our PPE like a religion. If we don't, we get sick. Really sick. And none of us has died or become disabled from terrors of wearing masks or other PPE. I don't do emergency medicine, but I spent 15 years working along side those people. What sidelines too many emergency workers with PTSD is scenes that are both horrific and senseless. And having the whole world cave in on them like the NYC responders and medics had during March and April with morgue trucks and 15 CPRs a day and responding to find people dead in their homes of COVID is horrific. It's also senseless when the reason for it is people playing games with the health of others on the internet by spreading falsehoods.

I genuinely thought I was the only one who had this opinion. It's refreshing to see this post. It's not his wiki page that throws me off but his very own site. But I'll leave it at that, you're braver (or maybe more patient) than myself. People can do as they wish when treating their own bodies.

Oh my god I love you.

Joking aside I think there's a miscommunication between 'air' and 'oxygen'.

[DaveToo]

You worry about children being "sick with terror" but don't worry about people being dead with virus? On what planet is that humane?

Old Student I think you worry too much.
It would probably be worthwhile to get out more and smell the roses.

The all-cause morbidity numbers in most countries is the same as it has been for the past decade.
What officials are calling 'CV deaths' now is just smoke and mirrors, covering up deaths that would otherwise be attributed to other causes.

Answer to Old Student Post #677t

I respect your experience and the religious discipline you had wearing your N-95 masks.
If it is true for all circumstance and of enough value is another point.
Just notice the failure of making it respected on a large scale. It can only go wrong. So it is time to accept that and listen to other solutions that are offered and are working. How do you dare treating those as quackery? I stand by my opinion that we live in a scientific barbarism.
The enforcement now in France for kids in lower school has been well described by some mothers as a devious scheme towards forced vaccination of children. First you make the mask mandatory and then they will say you can only leave the mask if you get your vaccin. Please do some more study on the forum and see what that vaccin will do with humanity. Say to hell with the mask manipulation and choose freedom.

And another very very terrible thing I must say: the deaths you are describing in all their horrible details are unavoidable and will continue for a while as the baby boomer generation is having less and less life expectancy. No measure of lockdown, mask or vaccin will stop that or greatly postpone it, on the contrary.
Scream all you want , it is happening. The actual epidemic of poisoned weak bodies is taking its toll. Those at risk have little or no knowledge of holistic solutions to protect and purify their bodies.
As an old student you and many see how part of your society is on its deathbed . And like many persons before death they panic. Take the advice given to go and sniff some daisies and work on you spiritual condition. In my literature I reread every once in a while a chapter about dying by Ikeda Daisaku, the leader of the Soka Gakkai, the Japanese budhist movement and practice. I did not easily encounter philosophers who give good advice how to prepare for inevitable death and peaceful reincarnations.

I return to my forums to stop this mask wearing for children 8h per day in school. It is a useless serious crime against youngsters that can not defend themselves. I choose for real life for that generation. Thanks for your advice on N-95 mask for the grandparents at risk. People in my forums like it as a good diplomatic solution for grandparents and children. Do not accept lasting destruction of loving relations!

Um, here's the Wikipedia entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Mercola#Views_and_controversy) for Dr. Joseph Mercola. He's "controversial" at best, a quack to most. Sorry.

But you should be able to see that from the "research" he cites: Breitbart? Fox News? He's purveying junk. Stuff about zinc preventing death from COVID has no basis. COVID attacks ACE sites. What does zinc have to do with that? It causes cytokine storms, what does zinc have to do with that?

And I already dealt with the supposed oxygen loss from wearing masks. It just doesn't happen. People who include this with their "science" are not scientists, they're quacks.

It happens to be Wikipedia that is clearly compromised. That they have issue with Dr. Mercola simply emphasizes his information is quite valid.

[greybeard]

I wonder if those who advocate wearing a mask have personal experience of wearing one.
If not wear one for a whole week 8 hours a day with breaks for meals and see how they then feel about them.
They are recruiting people here (NHS) to teach people how to wear masks properly, to be sure they are a tight fit.
People are not trusted to do something as simple as donning a mask, it seems at great unnecessary expense to the NHS

Um, here's the Wikipedia entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Mercola#Views_and_controversy) for Dr. Joseph Mercola. He's "controversial" at best, a quack to most. Sorry.


Wikipedia? LOL!

Check out the Wikipedia entry for 9/11 and then get back to me to
tell me what you think of it. :)

[Old Student]

Wikipedia has its good and bad points. The point on Dr. Mercola is that he is not anywhere near an expert on infectious diseases, on mitigations and public health, or any of that end of the medicine spectrum. Maybe he's very good at giving massages and prescribing vitamins. No evidence of other genius.

He's also a receptacle for complaints about evidence-based medicine, though, and makes a good deal off of this. That's a problem, when someone becomes a professional lightning rod for peoples complaints about their own care.

I go back to when I worked as a mechanic: We had a lot of people who were very into their own cars. They would always come in and start a kind of macho showdown over who knew the most about cars. I had a single standard philosophy about it: Yep, you know a ton about your car, probably more than me. The difference is that in this job, I have to be able to work on all cars, not just yours.

In medicine terms, evidence-based medicine works the most of the time on the most of the people for the most of their ailments. In particular, since that is exactly what you want for control of a pandemic, it is the best source of information about how to do the epidemiology and the public health problem. You should listen to them on that one.

If you've got this or that ailment they don't seem to do well on, so be it. They don't, for instance, do very well on pain. On some chronic ailments, they lack the detail they have for communicable or infectious diseases. That's because their profession started, and was still up into the twentieth century, about curing sickness caused by disease.

But they're very very good on diseases caused by microbes. And pandemics are right in their 2000 year old tradition, not at the edges. So do I do alternative medicine for a nervous system disorder like my breathing problem? Sure. It works much better than what the doctors have down at the hospital. But do I think I know more than them about how to stop the spread of disease, and do I do my mandatory 2 year refresher on BSI and PPE. You bet. To do otherwise is to be playing Russian roulette with the microbes, and the microbes usually win at Russian roulette.

[Old Student]

I wonder if those who advocate wearing a mask have personal experience of wearing one.
Yup, they do. Take Fauci -- the guy worked on the AIDS and Ebola epidemics and on SARS. If you think you have to go through a lot wearing a mask for COVID, Ebola makes those precautions look like a walk in the park.


They are recruiting people here (NHS) to teach people how to wear masks properly, to be sure they are a tight fit.

That sounds like respirators, what the U.S. calls N95s. You people are lucky, there are nowhere near enough N95s available in the U.S. for everybody to have one, let alone change them out like they should. They work very will by comparison to surgical masks. And it isn't like nobody else wheres them: N95 stands for Non-petroleum 95% - they filter 95% of particulate matter at 2.5microns, and are for non-petroleum use. That last part is because they have them for petroleum use as well, N95s and P95s are worn in occupations other than medical, and yes, for 8 hour shifts.

[Patient]

Ok Old Student, help me with this....

It covid a disease or a virus?

Why does the CDC say that they have not isolated the particulate of covid-19?
The same has been said from the UK department of (medicine? I do not know what they are called.)

If they do not have have a sample of the virus, how do they make a test to detect it? What is it that they are detecting? If they are detecting basic cold/flu bugs then it seems that the covid numbers are being artificially inflated.

If they do not have a proper test, how can they make a vaccine?

When they are putting covid as the cause of death for so many people who did not die from covid (because the hospitals are getting money for covid patients), how are we to trust the medical people? The governments?


Hospitals all around the world have had huge lay offs of employees - strange during a pandemic. (FYI, I worked at a hospital for almost 10 years.)

We need sunshine and fresh air - we are humans of this planet. We need the sun and to breather fresh air.

Why do we all need to wear masks? I also read from very high seated medical scientists that the covid-19 particles can go through a mask like a mosquito going through a chain link fence.

Again, why are we being forced to wear a mask?

Who has isolated the virus in a lab? Anyone?

[Bill Ryan]

Who has isolated the virus in a lab? Anyone?

It's been isolated and fully sequenced 86,322 times. (Maybe more by the time anyone's finished reading this post! :) )


https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sars-cov-2

Below is what one such gene sequence looks like. (Each is very slightly different, because of mutations. That's why the labs keep sequencing it, to see how or if it may be evolving.)

But the reality of the virus is separate from many other issues connected with how the controls are being implemented and enforced. Two things are in play here:


A real virus, that was created in a lab (not all that deadly when well treated, but potentially more serious then flu)
A NWO initiative to restrict freedoms, travel and communication, and (maybe) enforce vaccinations.

You sound like a reasonably intelligent person Old Student so let's see if we can have a reasonably intelligent discussion.

I just returned from the supermarket of a large chain.
At the check-out counter I placed my items one after the other on the conveyor belt, all the while observing the
cashier.
She was standing behind a plastic shield and wearing a standard white face mask and plastic/vinyl gloves that all
cashiers of the store must wear.

I counted her touching her mask a total of 10 times during the time I waited to be served until I had paid.

If she was working for even one hour prior to serving me, she would have touched her mask at the very least 100 times.
Whatever deadly virus may have been making its way through her mask and onto her gloves could easily have
been lodged onto any number of the items I purchased.

My question.
Do you think I would be safer with:

A) her wearing her mask and touching it this many times during the checkout process? OR
B) her not wearing a mask and not touching her face?

[thepainterdoug]

B i think


b

[Old Student]

C) Wear the mask and not touch her face.

Medical first responders are, for instance, forbidden from wearing makeup on the job to prevent a very common reason for people touching their faces.

I never touch my face when I have gloves on. Same goes for when I have a mask on. But that's because I have, as I said before, mandatory class I have to attend in BSI every two years.

The person in the most danger at the supermarket is the person working there. But thanks for thinking about them.

If it is different because it has mutated, then it is not the original of course. So it seems the test is to detect a virus. That is how the case numbers are rising - anyone that has a strain of a cold/flu is now labeled as having covid-19.

Why does (or did, they may have altered it by now) did they have on the CDC web page about them "not having a particulate of the covid-19 virus)" so what did they have? It had mutated, so they can't nail it down.

Yes, the NWO is the problem. They are using masks as a tool. Using a virus to manipulate our rights and freedoms and destroying our lives. Sure the virus is a bad flue - I think there is a bad flu every year, that mutates along. This is why there is no cure for the common mutating flu/cold - so what is the vaccine for then? Another tool.

How are we to fight against this? Take apart the tools. Educate people that they are being manipulated.

Should we comply when we know things are wrong?

If you close your eyes and comply then you are closing your eyes to the other bigger worse parts. Look at Australia - that is the beginning of what they are going to try to do everywhere.

How can we sit back and allow this to continue? We should not.

[Bluegreen]

Notice how it changed from "Corona"

to

"Covid"

?

[Old Student]

This is bad logic, and it's conclusion is wrong information. The main test is called a PCR test, standing for polymerase chain reaction test. What they do is take the sample and aggressively reproduce any strands of RNA in the sample until they are big enough to identify. They then test for RNA fragments unique to Covid-19. So no, they are not just testing for "a virus" and no, a cold or flu will not cause a positive test.

Another tool.

More bad information. The masks mitigate the spread of the virus. The virus is not a "bad flu". It is not an influenza virus at all, it's a coronavirus. Those pictures you see with spiky balls? Those are pictures of a coronavirus, under a optical microscope the spikes look like a corona like on the sun during an eclipse. The flu does not mutate every year, we get a different wave of it every year from Southeast Asia. The different waves have different strains in them.

The flu is not a cold, a cold is not the flu. About 15-20% of colds are a (different) coronavirus. We don't develop lasting antibody defenses against the cold, in fact you can re-infect yourself with it. No immunity from having it means no vaccine possibility.

The last statement about the vaccine has some validity. We don't actually know whether a vaccine will work or for how long, so it is worth wondering if it will work. Those working on them say the efficacy may be low and we may have to keep getting shots until the pandemic is under control. Personally, I'm not holding out great hopes for the vaccine being more than 50% effective, but the scientists say that even with 50% effectiveness, they would be able to end the pandemic.

Please don't put out stuff that could be dangerous, like theories about what the disease is that aren't true. This virus attacks ACE sites -- angiotensin converting enzyme sites. Those are the things in the walls of your blood vessels that regulate your blood pressure. In the lungs and kidneys they are on capillaries, elsewhere just on blood vessels and lymph vessels. But that means it attacks everything in your body, your solid organs and lungs most, but everything where blood flows. Many of the "asymptomatic" cases, cases in which none of that list of symptoms they ask about at the clinic happen, have extensive damage caused by damage to their cardiovascular system.

This is a nearly perfect killer. The first SARS disease, which I suppose could be called Sars-CoV-1 now, in 2003 was more deadly and infectious but it was so lethal and infectious that it burned itself out by killing people before it was spread. This one spreads before it shows symptoms. But it is very damaging, unlike many other diseases, it attacks everything.

The western Big Pharma companies working on Covid vaccines released information a couple of weeks ago stating that their vaccines would not provide immunity for Covid.
So much for your statement of : "No immunity from having it means no vaccine possibility."

You keep talking about logic and misinformation. That is the reason I am pointing this out.

Old Student, I can appreciate that you have some knowledge about somethings that I do not. I am looking at the big picture. I think I am pretty good at seeing the big picture - I worked for a large multi media company (one of the top 10 recognizable brands in the world) and was responsible for the quality assurance of their products world wide. Why am I no longer there? Apart from other things, I have morals. The mask wearing is being used as a tool as is the covid-19 scare tactics.

The issue of mask wearing is much bigger than just the virus. It is one part of an agenda to change people's rights and freedoms.

The goal of the dark side is to dumb down the population so they no longer care enough to fight for their freedom. The pandemic stops people from gathering in public. If all of our communication is done through phones and the internet, then they can easily monitor and control it.

If this becomes the only way for us to communicate, what will you think happened to me if I stop replying? Did my power go out? What happened? I could be taken away and no one would know. Oh we have video footage - oh wait, I can't identify anyone because they are all wearing masks.

[onawah]

If you take Wikipedia's word on anything, you are not likely to find a lot of agreement among discerning members here on Avalon, anymore than if you take the word of Snopes or the Facebook or Youtube "fact checkers" who are so busy censoring what contradicts the Globalists' preferred narratives.
Dr. Mercola is very consistent in posting informed and well-researched articles.
If he was truly a quack, he would not have enjoyed the success he has for as long as he has, as one of the most read doctors online, nor would he be in danger of being censored now by TPTB, which he is.
Why you would associate him with massages is a mystery, though his cutting edge line of vitamins is quite good, and his research team does a good job of connecting dots for him that he might miss himself.
He associates with very credible whistleblowers and supports them by providing excellent interviews and a venue for them to share vital information.
If you want to see more credible evidence about how ineffective and harmful face masks are, you have only to go back and check out this very thread from the beginning, because other Avalonians have done a great job of finding and posting that here.
...As well as much credible evidence demonstrating how the "official" statistics about Covid are untrustworthy and are part of a fascistic Globalist agenda.
If you disagree with all that, you have probably joined the wrong forum, and I predict that you won't last long here on Avalon.
As for Fauci, I suggest you read this thread: http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?112453-Fauci&p=1388204#post1388204

Edited from here;
Sorry, I was going to talk about the less than 1 micron aerosols and the public health around them. The public health for these is to isolate ventilation systems, and to quarantine people who are positive for the disease. What public health people worry about for aerosol spread is air conditioning (HVAC). The classic example of that is Legionnaire's Disease. The Army Corps of Engineers set up facilities here in the U.S. after the first spike in New York tri-state area. They did this mitigation, installing separate air conditioning in hotel rooms used for COVID patients, etc. If you go back to the SARS epidemic 2003, you can see some of those recommendations in WHO and CDC documents -- e.g. only transporting people in ambulances which have segregated compartments to minimize infections among ambulance crews, etc.
Quarantine requires an ability to test and contact trace. You might be able to do that in France, here in the U.S. right now, levels are so high that contact tracing is impossible, so we only have quarantine as a method around that.

I go back to your described personal experience about N-95 facemasks in the operation room. You underlined being very religious about that. You said : if we did not we would get very sick (no evidence given).
Indeed my sources in France call it a dogma and tradition more than factual. Listen to this brief testimony about masks in the operation room by Dr Steven R. Gundry.
I notice again in my research that they only use surgical face masks in operation rooms.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/26pPYCKEb1Tf/

Now about the usefulness and the size of virus particles. Hereunder 2 scientific articles. The first one about the advantage of N95 respirators. And the second is an admission that the virus particles are tiny while at the same time saying that they are only carried by larger particles like droplets. You see how confusing and inconclusive all that is.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26952529/

Interpretation: Although N95 respirators appeared to have a protective advantage over surgical masks in laboratory settings, our meta-analysis showed that there were insufficient data to determine definitively whether N95 respirators are superior to surgical masks in protecting health care workers against transmissible acute respiratory infections in clinical settings.  © 2016 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors.

https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/06/16/politifact-claim-that-n95-masks-cant-stop-covid-19-particles-due-to-size-is-nonsense/

The COVID-19 particle is indeed around 0.1 microns in size, but it is always bonded to something larger.

Back to your safe environment in the operation room. Very alarming information is on my desk that will confirm the ridicule saying masks are protecting us in the hospital. The hospitals are fully equipped and saturated by dangerous wireless radio frequencies. Those will move through any masks you will admit, don’t you ? Radio wave sickness is well researched and has similar symptoms as what they call covid . Hereby an extract from a report :
Patients need to be kept away from all radiation in hospitals
Nurses and doctors in hospitals have no idea that all the wireless devices that are being used by
their wireless modern equipment, are also part of the online network.
They are also emitting microwaves in the room of the patients, and are making the patients more
sick and the person can die of this overdose.
That’s why so many people are dying all over the world, especially in modern and fully equipped
modern hospitals, where this 5G technology is being installed first.


I will not go in your recommendations for quarantine now. They are destructive and dreadful. You want us all living like crazy billionaire Howard Hugues ?
What is happening in France now with the enforced masks in the schools starting from 6 year old is very bad. I see the testimonies of mothers and fathers.
All that because of persons who dramatize the danger of viruses and germs. Can they even conceive what could be the real cause in the universe as laid down in the very distant past ?
Consider carefully because you will be remembered as a gatekeeper for this scientific barbarism.

[Old Student]

I go back to your described personal experience about N-95 facemasks in the operation room. You underlined being very religious about that. You said : if we did not we would get very sick (no evidence given).

This is not in the "operation room" it is on the street. At public events, and also sometimes at emergency shelters. Been there, done that. Sorry to disappoint.

A "report"? Your picture is getting clearer. This information is pure conspiracy theory and paranoia. The only implemented 5G is using 2.5GHz carriers, those have been around for years, it would be completely paradoxical if they suddenly started killing people in hospitals because they had been given a new name.

The masks work. They don't work perfectly. The vaccines for flu work, they don't work perfectly. The purpose isn't to perfect non-transmission in individual cases but to decrease it overall, so that the rate of transmission goes below 1-1 (one infected person infects on average one other person). Pandemics die out if that rate is achieved, the public health of this is to get there. Contact tracing, masks, social distancing, and washing hands can get us there if everyone works really hard, add in a vaccine and it gets a little easier.

You're whining about restrictions that would have made the people in West Africa during Ebola jump for joy because they were so light. Others, less fortunate than yourself, have worked their way through worse public health ordinances and survived just fine. One day, if that transmission rate is brought down far enough, the pandemic dies out. But sure as shootin' you aren't going to get there by conspiracy theories about the dangers of 5G.

[Ernie Nemeth]

Just want to clarify. The frequencies you talk of is not the only problem. It is modulation that is the concern. Modulating the wavelength and shape causes massive electrical and magnetic fields to arise. These fields are completely disregarded in North America, except as to how it interferes with the power factor and correction and mitigation techniques to overcome it. But that is power distribution, not air wave signals in the frequency bands. In those scenarios, electrical and magnetic fields are not taken into account in any way as it would lead to uncovering the major problems and detrimental health effects of our power systems in general.

In medicine terms, evidence-based medicine works the most of the time on the most of the people for the most of their ailments. In particular, since that is exactly what you want for control of a pandemic, it is the best source of information about how to do the epidemiology and the public health problem. You should listen to them on that one.

If you've got this or that ailment they don't seem to do well on, so be it. They don't, for instance, do very well on pain. On some chronic ailments, they lack the detail they have for communicable or infectious diseases. That's because their profession started, and was still up into the twentieth century, about curing sickness caused by disease.

But they're very very good on diseases caused by microbes. And pandemics are right in their 2000 year old tradition, not at the edges. So do I do alternative medicine for a nervous system disorder like my breathing problem? Sure. It works much better than what the doctors have down at the hospital. But do I think I know more than them about how to stop the spread of disease, and do I do my mandatory 2 year refresher on BSI and PPE. You bet. To do otherwise is to be playing Russian roulette with the microbes, and the microbes usually win at Russian roulette.

Good balance in your posts. My clinical qigong teacher has often cautioned my colleagues and I on jumping to either/or positions on the alternative and orthodox medicine divide.

There's some things doctors may not be so good at, like individual constitutional issues that differ from the majority. For approaches that do work on a wide meta level however, it's foolish to dismiss all of it. Considering that I've had to wear masks for 16 hours straight with a face shield and disposable PPE gowns, I find peoples reactions to wearing a mask for 20 minutes in a store to be rather silly.

I just recently took an American Airlines flight from Portland to Charlotte and then another flight from Charlotte to Tampa. On both flights nearly every seat was full. Midway through the first flight I went to the restroom and noticed nearly half the passengers had masks off or had their nose exposed. First flight was 5 hours, second flight two hours. In deplaning all passengers crowded together in the isles. There was zero social distancing. This is taking place every day all over the US.. If government was serious about the threat of Covid, airlines would be required to observe the masking and social distancing requirements in effect throughout many states. They are not. Yet these same requirements have forced numerous small businesses to close. The mask requirements cannot be about preventing the spread of disease, or they would be enforced on planes..(There is no real food service, so the crew does not move about the plane unless take off and landing duties are being met.)

Thanks Deborah!
I don't know about others here, but for me this is extremely helpful information!

First of all, I concur with all of your thoughts above.
There is a double standard at play here.

For the general masses, we are told face masks need to be worn whenever possible to prevent people from
catching CV and dying.

But if you fly in an airplane, when masks are theoretically even more important because of the close proximity of people, the airlines throw the official rules out the window!
They don't care. They go with the flow. The want their money. End of story (and they also know there's little risk to the passengers).

Nothing has changed since April/May (CV-wise) when the airlines were nervous about seating. Back then they staggered seats and made sure no two passengers were next to each other.
Now airlines are relaxing their standards (if not officially, at least in practice as you have demonstrated).

Now don't get me wrong. I have no problem with these new relaxed standards!
BUT.... announce them to the public at large. Let them know they won't be harassed on board the plane!

I would like to fly now, but refuse to be harassed by airports and airlines.

And what about the passengers? Especially at deplaning?
Are they not fearful of catching CV and dying?
Clearly not!!!

BTW as many people as possible should try publicize this to the MSM.
We need accountability of the airlines or termination of face mask rules. It has to be one or the other.
They can't have their cake and eat it too!

, I find peoples reactions to wearing a mask for 20 minutes in a store to be rather silly.

I was talking about useless and harmful facemasks (textile and surgical) for schoolchildren in France from as young as 6 years during 4 or 8 hours a day. They impose it for weeks and months. In the Netherlands they could make it mandatory everywhere and undetermined in time, even enshrined in the Constitution. They will make the lungs weaker and all resultant disease will be covid. You better wake up and fast.

I will give you my opinion on the mask, because with all the videos I have listened to on the subject. Believe me, that I put the mask on in these moments when I really have no choice, because how to do otherwise under the authority of a law?
I very often meet people walking in nature with masks, I do not understand why, since in nature it is not an obligation to put on the mask.
It's like these children, who have worn the mask all day, do not have the reflex to take it off when getting off the bus. I heard that a 14 year old child would have died because of the wearing of the mask, the hour is really serious for the children.
There was a study on the dangerousness of masks :facemask:

[ExomatrixTV]

⚠️ To me, wearing a mask is being complicit in a HUGE FEAR MONGER DECEPTION to virtue signal and help the LIES to continue endlessly ... To help the RIGGED Technocratic Computer Model Scare Tactics connected to a big push for eventually mandatory toxic ☠️ vaccines using mass psychological warfare ... In my view, the mask is a symbol that ultimately end up being worse than wearing a swastika in the 1930s.

For evil to triumph is not only for good people doing nothing but also for good people beLIEving the lies and act upon the lies as if it is "good". Without all of that corrupt powers that be would have no effect.

Can you share more information please? When are you ready because a rumor does not help.
It is urgent because you know the French government has now imposed masks on young schoolchildren but now also announced that they will start testing them on a large scale using the nose swabs!
I am involved in trying to wake up parents against the masks but sofar the only data I use to convince against the nose swabs for children is its danger to harm the Hemato-encephalic brainbarrier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood%E2%80%93brain_barrier )
What else is there? I have been trying to find independent researchers to verify if the swabs may be drenched with programmed nano particles. So far I find the nano particles warning more scaremongering than consistent.
We can not wait here in France to see if the USA restores freedom. Before anything positive reaches us the harm here will continue increasingly .

Large parts of the population is zombified by the masks. Turning against the small schoolchildren is waking up a small part of the mothers and parents. This crime is where the general mass may wake up, thats why I am supporting that revolt.

A new Danish study.


Effectiveness of Adding a Mask Recommendation to Other Public Health Measures to Prevent SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Danish Mask Wearers

A Randomized Controlled Trial

Henning Bundgaard, DMSc, Johan Skov Bundgaard, BSc,
Author, Article and Disclosure Information https://doi.org/10.7326/M20-6817



Abstract

Background:

Observational evidence suggests that mask wearing mitigates transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is uncertain if this observed association arises through protection of uninfected wearers (protective effect), via reduced transmission from infected mask wearers (source control), or both.

Objective:

To assess whether recommending surgical mask use outside the home reduces wearers' risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection in a setting where masks were uncommon and not among recommended public health measures.

Design:

Randomized controlled trial (DANMASK-19 [Danish Study to Assess Face Masks for the Protection Against COVID-19 Infection]). (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04337541)

Setting:

Denmark, April and May 2020.

Participants:

Adults spending more than 3 hours per day outside the home without occupational mask use.

Intervention:

Encouragement to follow social distancing measures for coronavirus disease 2019, plus either no mask recommendation or a recommendation to wear a mask when outside the home among other persons together with a supply of 50 surgical masks and instructions for proper use.

Measurements:

The primary outcome was SARS-CoV-2 infection in the mask wearer at 1 month by antibody testing, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or hospital diagnosis. The secondary outcome was PCR positivity for other respiratory viruses.

Results:

A total of 3030 participants were randomly assigned to the recommendation to wear masks, and 2994 were assigned to control; 4862 completed the study. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 occurred in 42 participants recommended masks (1.8%) and 53 control participants (2.1%). The between-group difference was −0.3 percentage point (95% CI, −1.2 to 0.4 percentage point; P = 0.38) (odds ratio, 0.82 [CI, 0.54 to 1.23]; P = 0.33). Multiple imputation accounting for loss to follow-up yielded similar results. Although the difference observed was not statistically significant, the 95% CIs are compatible with a 46% reduction to a 23% increase in infection.

Limitation:

Inconclusive results, missing data, variable adherence, patient-reported findings on home tests, no blinding, and no assessment of whether masks could decrease disease transmission from mask wearers to others.

Conclusion:

The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates, some degree of social distancing, and uncommon general mask use. The data were compatible with lesser degrees of self-protection.

Landmark Danish study shows face masks have no significant effect

19 November 2020, 7:45am

https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf04078f3cf7a9c30/bltf8be16c4308158ad/5fb577c909ed4c6f277ee42e/GettyImages-1229394682.jpg?format=jpg&width=1920&height=1080&fit=crop

Do face masks work? Earlier this year, the UK government decided that masks could play a significant role in stopping Covid-19 and made masks mandatory in a number of public places. But are these policies backed by the scientific evidence?

Yesterday marked the publication of a long-delayed trial in Denmark which hopes to answer that very question. The ‘Danmask-19 trial (https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817)’ was conducted in the spring with over 3,000 participants, when the public were not being told to wear masks but other public health measures were in place. Unlike other studies looking at masks, the Danmask study was a randomised controlled trial – making it the highest quality scientific evidence.

Around half of those in the trial received 50 disposable surgical face masks, which they were told to change after eight hours of use. After one month, the trial participants were tested using both PCR, antibody and lateral flow tests and compared with the trial participants who did not wear a mask.

In the end, there was no statistically significant difference between those who wore masks and those who did not when it came to being infected by Covid-19. 1.8 per cent of those wearing masks caught Covid, compared to 2.1 per cent of the control group. As a result, it seems that any effect masks have on preventing the spread of the disease in the community is small.

Some people, of course, did not wear their masks properly. Only 46 per cent of those wearing masks in the trial said they had completely adhered to the rules. But even if you only look at people who wore masks ‘exactly as instructed’, this did not make any difference to the results: 2 per cent of this group were also infected.

When it comes to masks, it appears there is still little good evidence they prevent the spread of airborne diseases. The results of the Danmask-19 trial mirror other reviews (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.30.20047217v2) into influenza-like illnesses. Nine other trials looking at the efficacy of masks (two looking at healthcare workers and seven at community transmission) have found that masks make little or no difference to whether you get influenza or not.

But overall, there is a troubling lack of robust evidence on face masks and Covid-19. There have only been three community trials during the current pandemic comparing the use of masks with various alternatives – one in Guinea-Bissau (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04471766?term=Bandim&cond=Covid&cntry=GW&draw=2), one in India (http://www.ctri.nic.in/Clinicaltrials/pdf_generate.php?trialid=45868&EncHid=&modid=&compid=%27,%2745868det%27) and this latest trial in Denmark. The low number of studies into the effect different interventions have on the spread of Covid-19 – a subject of global importance – suggests there is a total lack of interest from governments in pursuing evidence-based medicine. And this starkly contrasts with the huge sums they have spent on ‘boutique relations (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/vaccine-tsar-kate-bingham-runs-up-670-000-pr-bill-sjxmrz2bx)’ consultants advising the government.

The only trials which have shown masks to be effective at stopping airborne diseases have been ‘observational studies’ – which observe the people who ordinarily use masks, rather than attempting to create a randomised control group. These trials include six studies carried out in the Far East during the SARS CoV-1 outbreak of 2003, which showed that masks can work, especially when they are used by healthcare workers and patients alongside hand-washing.

But observational studies are prone to recall bias: in the heat of a pandemic, not very many people will recall if and when they used masks and at what distance they kept from others. The lack of random allocation of masks can also ‘confound’ the results and might not account for seasonal effects. A recent observational study paper had to be withdrawn (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.10.21.20208728v2) because the reported fall in infection rates over the summer was reverted when the seasonal effect took hold and rates went back up.

This is why large, randomised trials like this most recent Danish study are so important if we want to understand the impact of measures like face masks. Many people have argued that it is too difficult to wait for randomised trials – but Danmask-19 has shown that these kind of studies are more than feasible.

And now that we have properly rigorous scientific research we can rely on, the evidence shows that wearing masks in the community does not significantly reduce the rates of infection.

NEW ZEALAND MASKS DO NOT WORK

A minor rant :). Today I went to coffee place (just to pick up an order) and wore the required mask. I removed my mask as soon as I walked out to the parking lot. I noticed a group of 3 people standing around my car, talking and they were wearing masks (something I don't really get when we're outside - better to breathe fresh air than inhale the moist, warm germ-laden air under the mask). As soon as I approached my car, one of the masked guys aggressively erupted and began spewing an x-rated rant at me for not wearing a mask. He sure didn't hold back his opinion about my not wearing a mask even though everyone else had to and (many) words to the effect that I was a selfish bitch and so forth. He was ramping up to go nuclear on me so I hurriedly got in my car and left. I live in a rural community and often walk my dog in many forested areas, nature trails, etc. and sometimes pass people on these trails, all wearing masks...I don't get it!

Today, Nov 20, 2020, a grocery store that I had been shopping at since the plandemic started, without a face mask, warned me that I would not be able to return again unless I wore one.
'Cases' have been rising in Canada and the store decided to do something about it.

I wonder if they will rescind this decision when the 'cases' drop to below today's level (at a level that they did allow me to shop in their store without a face mask).

In my opinion of course; Going through this plandemic has shown us some new things - some of these we just hypothesized before - but people are programmed/brainwashed and it looks to me that those who are already "pre-conditioned" are easily programmable for any new agenda that comes along.

Scary. I had read in the past things about affecting people's minds through the hertz rate of a TV screen. Subliminal advertising is banned in some countries but in North America the restrictions have been lifted and the law around it is flimsy and easy to navigate around for the advertiser.

People can be affected in different ways very quickly. Now with so much social leisure activity and entertainment removed from our lives, people's stress levels are rising and people are more easily agitated.

When you look at a person wearing a mask, who do you see? So much of their identity is not evident. The amount of emotion that we usually see in a person's face is no longer visible.

The masks have to come off. People need to get the oxygen levels back up in their blood and brains.

[Eva2]

'When you look at a person wearing a mask, who do you see? So much of their identity is not evident. The amount of emotion that we usually see in a person's face is no longer visible.'

For sure - I'm not sure who and where this was posted but I recall someone making an astute observation about the psychological effects of wearing a mask - its a control mechanism that tends to depersonalize and disempower. It makes one feel more vunerable, helpless, insecure and dependent on another. The poster likened it to women with face coverings in "sects" where every aspect of their lives is controlled by men.

[Deborah (ahamkara)]

I live in Portland, Oregon. As I walk the suburban trails around my home the percentage of people in masks outdoors, socially distancing, is close to 90%. There is. Lot of fear and anxiety emanating from people, despite the evidence that transmission is NOT occurring out of doors on hiking trails. The local media is in near hysteria over the ever expanding new cases. We are back on a semi lockdown “pause”, with restaurants, gyms, yoga studios, indoor recreation areas, all closed. Governor Kate Brown today encouraged citizens to call police on families defying her Covid restrictions- especially for the holiday of Thanksgiving. Masks have become a visible symbol of group think. There use is extremely psychological. I feel sad when I see children riding their bikes with a mask. There is 100% compliance with mask wearing indoors at shops and businesses.

'Every day, it seems like COVID-19 laws get more and more bizarre. From mask mandates to arbitrary business closures, it has become next to impossible to keep up with the rule changes and their logic.

And now, they’re targeting churches!

Under B.C.’s new province-wide COVID-19 restrictions, churches and other places of worship have been forced to close in what our un-elected health officials claim is an attempt to curb the spread of the virus.

Yet restaurants, bars, and gyms remain relatively unaffected. How does any of this make sense?

That’s what brought me to Riverside Calvary Chapel this past Sunday, where worshippers chose to attend an indoor church service in defiance of the new rules.

A bylaw officer had been there all day to monitor the morning service before police arrived to issue the church a $2,300 fine! Not only that, but they also threatened to give out more fines if the church remained open.

Watch this video to see my interaction with the bylaw officer and police who came to issue the COVID fine.

B.C. church FINED $2,300 for in-person services, police CAN'T
EXPLAIN which order was violated

Let’s get this straight: people can go to Costco with no issues, but they can’t attend a church service to worship God?

What’s worse, the police weren’t even sure what order they were there to enforce! So, where did they get the authority to issue this fine?

Can Canada still be referred to as “the true north strong and free” if we continue to head down this path?

Freedom of movement, freedom of association, and freedom of religion have all fallen to the wayside because of these emergency measures, which are in direct contravention of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

We don’t think Riverside Calvary Chapel should have to pay this fine. Do you?

If we learned anything from our “Fight the Fines” civil liberties project, it’s that these fines won't easily stand up in court. And if you help us, we’ll make sure they never will.

Yours truly,

Drea Humphrey

P.S. We want to help as many people as we can fight these unconstitutional COVID fines. But we can’t do it alone — we need your help to crowdfund our lawyers and legal fees. We already have over twelve cases, but we won't stop until we defend every single Canadian who gets a lockdown ticket. And if you or someone you know received one of these ridiculous fines, please let us know at www.FightTheFines.com.

"STORY AT-A-GLANCE
The first randomized controlled trial of more than 6,000 individuals to assess the effectiveness of surgical face masks against SARS-CoV-2 infection found masks did not statistically significantly reduce the incidence of infection
Among mask wearers, 1.8% ended up testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, compared to 2.1% among controls. When they removed the people who did not adhere to proper mask use, the results remained the same — 1.8%, which suggests adherence makes no significant difference
Among those who reported wearing their face mask “exactly as instructed,” 2% tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 compared to 2.1% of the controls
1.4% tested positive for antibodies at the end of the month-long study compared to 1.8% of controls
0.5% in the mask group and 0.6% tested positive for one or more respiratory viruses other than SARS-CoV-2

The first randomized controlled trial1,2 to assess the effectiveness of surgical face masks against SARS-CoV-2 infection specifically — which journals initially refused to publish — is finally seeing the light of day.

The so-called “Danmask-19 Trial,” published November 18, 2020, in the Annals of Internal Medicine,3 included 3,030 individuals assigned to wear a surgical face mask and 2,994 unmasked controls. Of them, 80.7% completed the study.

To qualify, participants had to spend at least three hours per day outside the home and not be required to wear a mask during their daily work. At the end of the study, participants reported having spent a median of 4.5 hours per day outside the home.

For one month, participants in the mask group were instructed to wear a mask whenever they were outside their home. Surgical face masks with a filtration rate of 98% were supplied. In accordance with recommendations from the World Health Organization, participants were instructed to change their mask after eight hours.

Antibody testing was performed before the outset and at the end of the study period. At the end of the month, they also submitted a nasal swab sample for PCR testing.

What the Danmask-19 Trial Found
The primary outcome was a positive PCR test, a positive antibody test result (IgM or IgG) during the study period, or a hospital-based diagnosis of COVID-19. Secondary end points included PCR evidence of infection with other respiratory viruses.

Based on the adherence scores reported, 46% of participants always wore the mask as recommended, 47% predominantly as recommended and 7% failed to follow recommendations. So, what did they find? As you might expect, there’s a reason why the researchers had such a hard time getting this study published:

Among mask wearers, 1.8% (42 participants) ended up testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, compared to 2.1% (53) among controls. When they removed the people who reported not adhering to the recommendations for use, the results remained the same — 1.8% (40 people), which suggests adherence makes no significant difference.
1.4% (33 participants) tested positive for antibodies compared to 1.8% (44) of controls.
Among those who reported wearing their face mask “exactly as instructed,” 2% (22 participants) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 compared to 2.1% (53) of the controls.
52 participants in the mask group and 39 in the control group reported COVID-19 in their household. Of these, two participants in the mask group and one in the control group developed SARS-CoV-2 infection — a finding that suggests “the source of most observed infections was outside the home.”
0.5% (nine participants) in the mask group and 0.6% (11 individuals) tested positive for one or more respiratory viruses other than SARS-CoV-2 (secondary outcome).
Masks May Lower, or Raise, Infection Risk
All in all, this landmark COVID-19-specific study failed to deliver good news to those who insist face masks are a crucial component of the pandemic response. Masks may reduce your risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection by as much as 46%, or it may increase your risk by 23%. In other words, the preponderance of evidence still shows that masks have virtually no impact on viral transmission.

Another take-home point that you get from this study, which Del Bigtree points out in The Highwire video report above, is that the vast majority — 97.9% of those who didn’t wear masks, and 98.2% of those who did — remained infection free.

So, we are destroying economies and lives around the world, for what, exactly? To protect a small minority from getting a positive PCR test result which, as detailed in “Asymptomatic ‘Casedemic’ Is a Perpetuation of Needless Fear,” means little to nothing. As reported by the authors:4

“Although no statistically significant difference in SARS-CoV-2 incidence was observed, the 95% CIs are compatible with a possible 46% reduction to 23% increase in infection among mask wearers.

These findings do offer evidence about the degree of protection mask wearers can anticipate in a setting where others are not wearing masks and where other public health measures, including social distancing, are in effect …

Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 may take place through multiple routes. It has been argued that for the primary route of SARS-CoV-2 spread — that is, via droplets — face masks would be considered effective, whereas masks would not be effective against spread via aerosols, which might penetrate or circumnavigate a face mask. Thus, spread of SARS-CoV-2 via aerosols would at least partially explain the present findings …

The present findings are compatible with the findings of a review of randomized controlled trials of the efficacy of face masks for prevention (as personal protective equipment) against influenza virus …

Our results suggest that the recommendation to wear a surgical mask when outside the home among others did not reduce, at conventional levels of statistical significance, the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in mask wearers in a setting where social distancing and other public health measures were in effect, mask recommendations were not among those measures, and community use of masks was uncommon.”

Government Tyrants Double Down on Mask Mandates
The researchers point out that results could potentially turn out differently if everyone were wearing a mask. At the time of the study, Danish authorities did not recommend universal mask use and most Danes did not wear them. Hence “participants’ exposure was overwhelmingly to persons not wearing masks.”

That possibility, however, is a big “if,” and not sufficient to mandate universal mask wearing. Any claim to such effect is nothing but a wholly unscientific guess. Despite that, many local leaders are now doubling down on mask mandates, some even requiring them to be worn inside your own home when anyone outside the family is present and even if physical distancing can be maintained.5

As an example of extremes, a June 2020 Harvard University paper6,7 even suggested couples should wear face masks during sex. Others are tripling down on masks, recommending you wear two or even three at the same time.8 Former Food and Drug Administration commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb is urging Americans to wear N95 surgical masks whenever possible.9

Epidemic of Spineless Leadership
Missing entirely from most recommendations is common-sense health guidance known to improve your immune function and lower your infection risk naturally, such as supplementing with vitamin D, NAC, melatonin, quercetin and zinc.

As noted by Angela Rasmussen, a virologist and affiliate of the Georgetown Center for Global Health Science and Security, in a November 15, 2020, op-ed in The Guardian,10 our immune systems know how to handle the virus; it’s our politicians who have failed to cope with it. She writes:11

“Most of the evidence in both COVID-19 patients and animal models shows that the immune response to this is quite typical for an acute viral infection. Initially, the body ramps up high levels of IgG antibodies, but after the infection is cleared, those antibodies drop to a baseline level, which may be below the limit of detection of some serological tests.

Antibodies are produced by B-cells, a specialized type of immune cell that recognizes a specific antigen, or viral target. When an infection is cleared, B-cells producing antibodies convert from being plasma cells, which are specialized to pump out massive quantities of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies, to being memory B-cells.

These cells produce lower levels of IgG antibody; but, importantly they persist in the body for years. If they are re-exposed to SARS-CoV-2, they rapidly convert to plasma cells and begin producing high levels of antibody again.

There is no indication that most COVID-19 patients are not developing immune memory, and animals experimentally infected with SARS-CoV-2 are protected against rechallenge with high doses of virus …

Furthermore, antibodies are not the only important part of the immune system. T-cells are also a key component to the immune response. They come in two flavors: helper T-cells, which coordinate immune responses and facilitate immunological memory, and killer T-cells, which kill infected cells. Previous studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 infection induces robust T-cell responses.”

As noted by Rasmussen, the data collected on the responses of T-cells to SARS-CoV-2 infection “underscore that SARS-CoV-2 is not an anomalous virus capable of miraculous feats of immune evasion.”

No matter how strictly mask laws are enforced nor the level of mask compliance the population follows, cases all fall and rise around the same time. ~ Yinon Weiss
In other words, provided your immune function is normal, the virus is as vulnerable as any other virus and you’re not destined to die just because you develop symptoms. So, the reason we’re in the situation we’re now in, Rasmussen says, is not because SARS-CoV-2 is somehow different or more lethal than anything that has come before. We’re in this situation due to political failures.

Mask Mandates Have Had No Impact on Infection Trends
Other data analyses that add support to the Danish study’s results include Yinon Weiss’ work presented in his article12 “These 12 Graphs Show Mask Mandates Do Nothing to Stop COVID.” In it, he shows that states’ mask rules appear to have had nothing to do with infection rates, which is what you’d expect if masks don’t work.

Weiss points out that “No matter how strictly mask laws are enforced nor the level of mask compliance the population follows, cases all fall and rise around the same time.” To see all of the graphs, check out Weiss’ article13 or Twitter thread.14 Here are just a select few to bring home the point:

Masks Delay Inevitable Acceptance of COVID-19 Reality
What everyone needs to come to terms with is that we have a new respiratory virus in town — one that may stay with us indefinitely. The question then becomes, just how long do we lock ourselves in our homes and shun all social relationships?

How long do we neglect our children’s education and social development by keeping schools closed? How long do we leave our elderly family members to languish in isolation? A better part of the global population has essentially stopped living altogether, and for what? For fear of an illness that 99.7% of people recover from15 — an illness that is as likely to kill you as the seasonal influenza if you’re under 60.16

Data clearly show that COVID-19 has not resulted in excess mortality, meaning the same number of people who die in any given year, on average, have died in this year of the pandemic.17,18 Several studies19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26 also suggest immunity against SARS-CoV-2 infection is far more widespread than anyone imagined.

In an October 28, 2020, Wall Street Journal opinion piece,27 Joseph Ladapo, an associate professor at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine, points out that we really must accept reality and move on with life, unpredictable as it may be. He writes:

“By paying outsize and scientifically unjustified attention to masking, mask mandates have the unintended consequence of delaying public acceptance of the unavoidable truth.

In countries with active community transmission and no herd immunity, nothing short of inhumane lockdowns can stop the spread of COVID-19, so the most sensible and sustainable path forward is to learn to live with the virus.

Shifting focus away from mask mandates and toward the reality of respiratory viral spread will free up time and resources to protect the most vulnerable Americans ...

Until the reality of viral spread in the U.S. … is accepted, political leaders will continue to feel justified in keeping schools and businesses closed, robbing young people of the opportunity to invest in their futures, and restricting activities that make life worthwhile.”

There’s Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself
Hopefully, if you’ve been reading this newsletter, you’re no longer incapacitated with fear and are capable of making more level-headed decisions based on the data at hand rather than the fear porn published in the daily papers. For the latest news and top tips for combating COVID-19, check out my Coronavirus Resource Page.

Everything really points to this pandemic being overblown and prolonged for purposes that have nothing to do with saving lives and everything to do with “resetting” the global financial and power structures — none of which will benefit us.

The lockdowns are essentially just conditioning you to accept a radically new way of life — one in which we have limited ability to travel or work, one in which we’re conditioned to being partially or wholly dependent on a government handout, one in which we must submit to being tracked and surveilled with little or no right to privacy, one in which the government dictates how you can spend your time, where you can go, who you can spend time with and for how long.

Eventually, once the global economies are in irreparable shambles, the central banks will roll out a debt erasure program to solve all our problems. The price will be your humanity, your freedom. Will you pay it? Or will you resist the whole deviled scheme while you still can?"

HELP JOSHUA: Mall security TACKLES Canadian Forces member over minor COVID violation
By David Menzies | December 17, 2020


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWp4pJ0VFKk




Talk about a surreal shopping spree, thanks to yet more Wuhan virus insanity — and some overzealous security guards.

Earlier this month, Pickering, Ont. resident Josh Walker and his pregnant girlfriend, Samantha-Lynn Johnson, visited Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket to do a little shopping. The last thing Joshua expected to happen was for a half-dozen security guards to pile on him and then, later, to get criminally charged by the police.

The madness began when Joshua, who is a member of the Canadian Armed Forces’ Queen’s Own Rifles regiment, went to the mall’s food court for a snack. Joshua soon discovered that while the mall’s food court was open for business, patrons were not permitted to sit down to consume their meals. And this is when the trouble began.

Joshua says even though he wasn’t the only one eating his food in the food court, a mall security guard soon focused his attention on him. Both Joshua and Samantha-Lynn believe that Joshua may have been racially profiled, given that he is black.

Joshua says he complied with security’s request to pack up his food and leave the mall under escort of the security guards. Because Samantha-Lynn is 18 weeks pregnant, Joshua asked to leave the mall at the exit that was closest to the couple’s car — a request that was allowed. It was during the couple’s frog-march out of the mall that things veered off the rails – but thankfully, it was all recorded on a cellphone camera.

Here’s what unfolded: Joshua says a guard allegedly told them that if they didn’t leave, they would be charged with trespassing. This statement struck the couple as bizarre, given that they were already leaving the mall and heading toward an exit.

Joshua then made a statement on camera that seems to have triggered the guards. Said a giggling Joshua: “You have got the three f---ing stooges here. There’s Larry, Curly, and f---ing Moe.”

At this point, Joshua says he was pushed and shoved, and the video shows Joshua telling the guards, “Don’t put your hands on me, bro.”

That’s when one security guard states: “You are under arrest for trespassing!”

Joshua was then thrown to the floor. At one point there were six guards restraining Joshua, who was later taken to a York Region hospital for minor injuries.

But in the department of insult to injury, the following day, York Regional Police charged Joshua with intent to resist arrest under the Criminal Code and another charge of violating the Trespass to Property Act.

How can this be, given that the camera tells a completely different story?

As far as we can tell, Joshua was NOT in breach of the Trespass to Property Act. For starters, he was actively complying with the order to leave the mall premises. Joshua and Samantha-Lynn never broke the law; on the contrary, they were cooperating with the guards’ demand that they must leave. In that regard, the attempted citizen’s arrest on him was unjustified, unreasonable and illegal.

When Joshua likened the guards to the Three Stooges, somehow this justified physically stomping on a man? We think not. (Rebel News reached out to Upper Canada Mall for comment, but our request went unacknowledged.)

As far as we’re concerned, this was an egregious attack on an innocent man. We think Joshua deserves justice, so we are picking up his case on two fronts:

We plan to defend Joshua against the criminal charges;

Furthermore, we are going to launch a civil lawsuit against the security guards, the mall and anyone else involved.

Can you kindly help us go to bat for Joshua? Please visit HelpJoshua.com and, if possible, make a donation so that we can raise the necessary legal fees as we attempt to remedy a grotesque injustice.

This is pure fear conditioning for the sheep here in Ireland.

I am constantly dumbfounded by the amount of people wearing masks EVERYWHERE...on their own driving in cars, walking along a basically empty footpath, the surprising thing though is the zealous compliance by people in the 15-25 age group, I suppose these poor young souls have grown up with a more severe level of conditioning to blindly accept authority than any other generation.


Two months in jail for man wearing mask on head ‘like a hat’

Bus passenger refused to put on face covering correctly, citing ‘health reasons’ to garda

A Bus Éireann passenger who wore a mask on his head “like a hat” and refused to wear it properly for “health reasons” was sentenced to two months in prison by a district court judge on Thursday.

After hearing the evidence at Castlebar court in a case against Andrew Heasman (41), Carrowmore, Knock, Co Mayo, Judge Fiona Lydon said she was satisfied that all of the ingredients required to secure a conviction had been satisfied by the State.

The judge sentenced the defendant to the prison term for an offence of failing to wear a face mask on public transport at Main Street, Ballyhaunis, on July 14th last.

She took a charge of a breach of public order on the same date into account.

The defendant was accompanied in court – as a McKenzie friend – by the columnist, author and civil rights activist John Waters.

⚠️ To me, wearing a mask is being complicit in a HUGE FEAR MONGER DECEPTION to virtue signal and help the LIES to continue endlessly ... To help the RIGGED Technocratic Computer Model Scare Tactics connected to a big push for eventually mandatory toxic ☠️ vaccines using mass psychological warfare ... In my view, the mask is a symbol that ultimately end up being worse than wearing a swastika in the 1930s.

‼️ For evil to triumph is not only for good people doing nothing but also for good people beLIEving the lies and act upon the lies as if it is "good".

Things are getting out of hand in Canada. A woman called police and based on her tweet, there were 15 people in the park. The law is based on no more than 10 people involved in outdoor activities if they are from different households. So are the few people watching included in this count? How about a person walking their dog in the park at the same time?

The police said that there was 40, but in the pic and the video, no way can you estimate 40 people.

People are really very paranoid. I went to a mall yesterday to shop and I was stopped and given a short speech about how I was to conduct myself while in the store. The clerk even told me that there were "undercover health agents" so I best keep my mask over my nose. Really? Undercover health agents?

Even though in the legal description, you are exempt from wearing a mask if you have a medical condition that does not allow you to wear one the businesses are not complying with that. Most businesses will not allow you into the store without a mask regardless.

Common sense is completely gone. I can not go to another store because I can not handle the way people are acting. Clerks are practically escorting you around the store. Each time there is a debit transaction they are spraying and wiping sanitizers.

This article and video shows how ridiculous things are. 2 female police officers (sorry if I offend anyone by saying female, but I believe they are) are performing their job very poorly while another male officer just stands there and watches. I can easily draw conclusions why this scenario plays out the way it does, but I will let people see for themselves.

GoFundMe for our friends: "Arrested for Shopping Without a Mask"

Q7J7GGUzFlw
Meet Paula Gloria and Joe Barton, longtime residents of Woodstock, NY.

In November, they were arrested at a local health food store for shopping without a mask, despite both having medical disabilities and being exempt as per Governor Cuomo's rules. We want all charges against them dropped.

With the case still in the courts, it is with great sadness that Paula passed away from natural causes earlier this month.

The funds raised in their GoFundMe will cover legal costs as well as to help Joe get back on his feet from the devastating loss of Paula, his beloved wife of many years.

It will also help to bring media attention to the issue of how governments are robbing us all of our Freedoms and Constitutional and Bill of Rights.

R.I.P. Paula Gloria Barton:

I will admit I wear a mask when I go to town, which is not often but I do not wish to have a confrontation. Many places you cannot go in without one. I do not go to town often! Out here in the country when I occasionally run into another person they are not usually wearing a mask.
