Last updated May 19, 2022 Note: I have done months of research. You can't possibly draw a legitimate conclusion of your own without reading/watching ALL of the information and everything linked, below. That will take days if not weeks so please don't write to me "hey you are wrong" without assimilating ALL of the information below. Testing Positive (From the CDC Website) A positive test result shows [that] you might have antibodies from the virus that causes COVID-19. However, there is a chance [that] it means that you have antibodies from an infection with a virus from the same family of viruses (called coronaviruses) such as the one that causes the common cold. I guess you know what this means. Yes, most of those new "asymptomatic" cases could simply have had a cold in the recent past. May 2021 Mask Research Document https://vaxxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Masks-Final.pdf What do masks accomplish? They effectively weaponise your breath by converting large droplets into small droplets that carry farther on prevailing air currents. Particles larger than 5 micrometers (the diameter of a human hair can be from 17-181 micrometers) do not go down into the lungs but are caught up in the mucus that lines the nose and the back of the throat. The particles are then swallowed and the acid in the stomach kills most of the organisms. If the particles were too small they would be inhaled into and exhaled from the lungs before they can settle down on the inner surfaces of the lungs. An effective aerosol must have particle sizes between 0.5 and 5 micrometers. These aerosols are invisible, do not have any odor, and can remain in the air for long periods of time depending on the weather conditions. So when you cough or sneeze in a mask you blast some droplets through the "sieve", making them small enough to pass through the "sieve" worn by others. And, of course, they are blasted around the sides of the mask at great velocity. www.atsu.edu/faculty/chamberlain/bioterror/weaponize.htm Does a mask do anything useful? It's easy to test your own mask. Vape droplets (glycerin) are larger than the droplet size required to carry a viron. So simply breathe in vape and breathe out through your mask. If any droplet escapes (it takes only ONE viron to cause infection) then the mask is useless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ6k1RHE4QA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh8WVN-JbMY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=almtH9kipl0&t=1m16s Masks: the results are in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3vY2LyQn1A Mask Test Videos https://twitter.com/MarkDice/status/1312810470449979392 Mask Study https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/4/e006577 Standard hospital mask designed to block spittle and bodily fluids. Also available in blue. The mask has two layers. Front outer layer magnified 400x Rear (inner) layer magnified 400x Notice the random placement of fibres and the number of large holes between them. Even if you double or triple the numbers of layers, the holes are still the same size. It just becomes a little harder to draw air through them. Rear (inner) layer magnified 4000x At this magnification, you still could not see a virus. In fact a virus is so small that you would not see it at 10,000x because it is smaller than the wavelength of visible light! The only way to see it is with an Electron Microscope, which is capable of much higher magnification and resolution. The argument that I've heard is "but the virus is carried through the air in large droplets that can't get through the mask". The answer to this (in case you don't know) is "so what happens after a few minutes when the droplet evaporates and you suck in the viruses that it was carrying?" This page shows electron microscope pictures of Covid-19 at approx. 100,000 magnification: https://www.sciencealert.com/this-is-what-the-covid-19-virus-looks-like-under-electron-microscopes So, if you imagine that any such mask will prevent the passage of millions of viruses, I have a bridge that you might be interested in buying. And, regardless of its filtering capabilities, if it doesn't seal perfectly to the face, it won't even keep dust out. Some masks have a one-way valve. When you breathe out, your breath exits via the valve without passing through the mask material. This type of mask protects the wearer from large dust particles and pollen (provided that it seals to the face) but it doesn't prevent the wearer from spreading any infection.

A group of parents in Gainesville, FL, concerned about potential harms from masks, submitted six face masks to a lab for analysis. The resulting report found that five masks were contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and fungi, including three with dangerous pathogenic and pneumonia-causing bacteria. No viruses were detected on the masks, although the test is capable of detecting viruses.

In the Annuals of Internal Medicine, April 2020, "neither surgical nor cotton masks effectively filtered SARS-CoV-2 during coughs by affected people." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1755436516300858 According to a University of New South Wales, the widespread use of masks by healthcare workers may put them at increased risk of respiratory illness and viral infections, and their global use should be discouraged. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-04-masksdangerous-health.html In the British Medical Journal 2015, "Over three times, the risk of contracting influenza-like illness if a cloth mask is used versus no mask at all." Contaminated masks and masks holding moisture and pathogen retention can increase the risk of infection. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4420971/ A 2016 study in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology found 97% of particles penetrated cloth masks, and 44% of particles penetrated medical masks. They reported that cloth masks are only marginally beneficial in protecting individuals from particles less than 2.5 micrometers. https://www.nature.com/articles/jes201642 As referenced in the New England Journal of Medicine, the size of Coronavirus particles varied between 0.06 micrometers and 0.14 micrometers. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2001017 Cloth and surgical masks do not have a fit test. When worn, gaps around the edges allow small particles to enter the respiratory system.

"For the prevention of transmission of swine flu this type of mask is ESSENTIALLY WORTHLESS". "Surgical masks will not block aerosolized particles as small as a droplet containing influenza virions from entering the airway. They essentially stop only spittle from a surgeon's mouth and mucous from a surgeon's nose from inadvertently dropping into a wound." __ There is zero scientific evidence that wearing a mask, especially for more extended periods, protects us. However, several studies found significant problems with wearing one. Side-effects range from headaches to increased airway resistance, carbon dioxide accumulation, hypoxia, to more severe complications. So, in summary, mask-wearing can be dangerous and is shown over and over again to be ineffective. It appears that masks are more effective in helping to spread illness, by providing a surface for viruses to collect on, like carrying a petri dish in front of your face. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, if wearing a mask poses a mental or physical risk, there are exemptions. DO NOT mandate them to attend school, and DO NOT teach the masses to hate and shame those that do not comply. This conditioning leads people to be more willing to follow irrational orders and do things without questioning authority, or logic, in the future. When there is a risk, there should always be a choice. __ Police Raided Judge's House After He Prohibited Masks in School www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/04/german-police-ransack- About Face Masks https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7680614/ CDC study: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article Fox News On Masks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDuCvys1JXI Netherlands says "No Proven Effectiveness" And Masks are Pointless - Sweden https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/swedens-top-epidemiologist-see-no-point-wearing-masks Evidence of Mask-Induced Brain Fog [February, 2022] https://brownstone.org/articles/evidence-of-mask-induced-brain-fog More than 150 comparative studies and articles on mask ineffectiveness and harms Mask Article https://alliebethstuckey.com/2021/08/13/kids-covid-and-masks/ Science & History of Masks in Medicine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHQ7zDNXKj0 Dumbing You Down https://thecritic.co.uk/face-masks-make-you-stupid Mask Evidence "not so strong" - UK https://www.rt.com/uk/499429-evidence-masks-effective-not-strong E=MASK-ulation https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/horowitz-lied-to-dramatically-about-masks Masking The Truth https://naturallyhealthynews.com/masking-the-truth J Xiao, E Shiu, et al.

I know I'm about to burst your "google doctor degree" bubble, but here goes nothing. So Masks? I am OSHA 10&30 certified. I don't really know WHY OSHA hasn't come forward and stopped the nonsense BUT I want to cover 3 things: 1. N95 masks and masks with exhale ports 2. surgical masks 3. filter or cloth masks SO, upon further inspection, OSHA says some masks are okay in one situation and not okay in certain other situations. If you're working with fumes and aerosol chemicals and you give your employees the wrong masks and they get sick, you can be sued. * N95 masks: are designed for CONTAMINATED environments. That means when you exhale through N95 the design is that you are exhaling into contamination. The exhale from N95 masks are vented to breathe straight out without filtration. They don't filter the air on the way out. They don't need to. Conclusion: if you're in Target and the guy with Covid has a N95 mask, his covid breath is unfiltered being exhaled into Target (because it was designed for already contaminated environments, it's not filtering your air on the way out). * Surgical Mask: these masks were designed and approved for STERILE environments. The amount of particles and contaminants in the outside and indoor environments where people are, are CLOGGING these masks very, VERY quickly. The moisture from your breath combined with the clogged mask will render it "useless". IF you come in contact with Covid and your mask traps it, YOU become a walking virus dispenser. Every time you put your mask on you are breathing the germs from EVERYWHERE you went. They should be changed or thrown out every "20-30 minutes in a non sterile environment." * Cloth masks: I can't even believe I'm having to explain this, but here it goes. Today, three people pointed to their masks as they walked by me entering Lowe's. They said "ya gotta wear your mask BRO". I said very clearly "those masks don't work bro, in fact they MAKE you sicker". They "pshh'd" me. By now hopefully you all know CLOTH masks do not filter anything. You mean the American flag one my aunt made? Yes. The one with sunflowers that looks so cute? Yes. The bandanna, the cut up t-shirt, the scarf - ALL of them offer NO FILTERING whatsoever. As you exhale, you are ridding your lungs of contaminants and carbon dioxide. Cloth masks trap this carbon dioxide the best. It actually RISKS your health, rather than protect it. The moisture caught in these masks can become mildew-ridden over night. Dry coughing, enhanced allergies, sore throat are all symptoms of a micro-mold in your mask. -Ultimate Answer: * N95 blows the virus into the air from a contaminated person. * The surgical mask is not designed for the outside world and will not filter the virus upon inhaling through it. INSTEAD, Its filtration works on the exhale, (Like a vacuum bag, it only works ONE way) but likely stops after 20 minutes, rendering it useless outside of a STERILE ENVIRONMENT. (They DO NOT work in public ... not even a little bit). * Cloth masks are WORSE than wearing NO mask!!!!! It's equivalent to using a chain link fence to stop mosquitos. The CDC wants us to keep wearing masks. The masks don't work. They're being used to provide false comfort and push forward a specific agenda. For the love of God, research each mask's designed use and purpose, I bet you will find NONE are used in the way of "viral defense." So, just like EVERY Flu season: Why? Because masks do not work. * Occupational Safety & Hazard Association cited. The top American organization for safety. They regulate and educate asbestos workers, surgical rooms, you name it. I know, facts suck. They throw a wrench into the perfectly (seeming) packaged pill you are willingly swallowing. Facts make you have to form your OWN OPINION, instead of regurgitating someone else's, and I know how uncomfortable that makes a lot of you. If your mask gives you security, by all means wear it. Just know it is a FALSE SENSE of security and you shouldn't shame anyone into partaking in such "conspiracies." If select politicians stopped enforcing it, no one would continue this nonsense. Don't drink the kool-aid." __ As an RN, my first thought when seeing the very first people to mask up, was that the people wearing the masks thought it was a novelty. It was suddenly cool to mimic those in the medical field. I saw the same behavior within my own family, starting with the 20 year olds who thought it was so cool to accessorize with their leopard print, rhinestone encrusted, and completely ineffective fabric masks. I came to the conclusion that these people, who obviously weren't cautious about their overall health, are putting on these masks and thinking that it makes them look smart. After talking to and attempting to educate these people, my opinion was validated. Despite the simplicity of the process, there's a proper procedure for donning and doffing a mask. While it is a "no-brainer" to be cautious about transfer of infection anytime you touch your mask, people everywhere were readjusting their masks 5-6 times per minute then touching everything else, including their face, nose, mouth, and eyes. Instead of promoting infection control, these people have become LITERAL super-spreaders of all sources of disease. MSM continued to promote fear of this virus at every turn, but proper infection control measures were NOT part of the conversation for those pushing their false ideology regarding masking. Everywhere you go, masks litter everything. If infection control was the primary reason for instituting these ridiculous mask mandates, the CDC and state public health agencies FAILED miserably! It is inherently OBVIOUS to those who still retain the ability to think critically that the purpose of widespread masking was to increase the spread of all types of disease, then utilize high replication count PCR testing to falsely attribute all infection (and lack thereof) to Covid-19. I can't wait for the day that #FraudulentFauci is thrown in prison. He, along with the MSM and DNC, have POISONED our families, friends, and community. God help us!
