Review of Data on Masks

In the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal, vol. 26, no 5, May 2020, main articular, titled Nonpharmaceutial Measures for Pandemic Influenza in Nonhealthcare Settings – Personal Protective and Environmental Measures

Under the sub heading of Face Masks at least 15 distinct citations in the four paragraphs.

Conclusions are that the face mask is of no help for the following reasons:

  • Only masks rated N95 or P2 provide a finer filtration, and even then, there is no evidence that it helps
  • Most people, especially in low-income communities, are going to wear reusable non-surgical masks
  • People don’t wear them properly, and are lax in the protocols
  • Masks where developed to help keep a wound clean, not to prevent the transmission of influenza virus

The next section goes on to say that washing your hands helps with gastrointestinal illness, not respiratory illness

The World Health Organization sponsored this study, and it was carried out by staff members from the University of Hong Kong

The Cost of Lock-downs

Here is another study that shows the true costs and benefits of lock-downs and self isolation. The economy impact is staggering, and it only benefits those trying to drive more people to be dependent on the government, and become socialist. And of course this is not something that supports the narrative coming from the White House, or it’s administration, so of course it is not widely publicized by the major news outlets.

You can read about the economical costs, and lack of any true benefits, in this John Hopkins University study here.
