IT IS SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR MASKS TO WORK.

We have been hectored, harangued, and harassed into wearing masks, even though there is not one single, solitary, random controlled study that shows that they have ever worked. Not one.

But no matter. At the beginning of this p******c, Dr. F***i, the Oracle at Delphi to the regressive left, told 60 Minutes (on March 8), “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask.” Nothing about the actual science regarding masks has changed one little tiny bit since then.

The governor of Connecticut, a Democrat (big surprise there) named Ned Lamont has now issued his 70th(!) executive order dealing with c****av***s. (Nothing says leadership like an endless stream of dictatorial mandates.) His latest edict mandates that anyone who leaves home without a mask is subject to a $100 fine. And get this - almost anybody in state government can hand these tickets out to miscreants like they were lottery tickets.

The Commissioner of Public Health, who has absolutely no legal enforcement powers, can fine people a C-note. So can local health directors, district health directors, municipal chief executive officers, and even public safety departments at institutions of higher education. As David Horowitz would put it, he has “e-mask-ulated” his entire population.

There might be some justification for this if masks actually worked. But they don’t. They never have, and they never will. In fact it is scientifically impossible for masks to work. If we “follow the science,” as pro-maskers yammer about incessantly, then we would cancel every mask mandate in the country today.

Here’s the actual science on masks and respiratory illness, as Daniel Horowitz writes:

"Because the virions of c****av***s are roughly 100 nanometers, 1/1000 the width of a hair and 1/30 the size of surgical mask filtrations (about 3.0 microns or 3,000 nanometers), surgical masks (not to mention cloth ones) do not help...Surgical masks could possibly stop large droplets from those coughing with very evident symptoms, but would not stop the flow of aerosolized airborne particles, certainly not from asymptomatic individuals."

In other words, the pores in masks are 30 times wider and bigger than the v***s they’re supposed to catch. As one observer said, using a mask to protect yourself from a respiratory v***s is like trying to stop a mosquito with a chain-link fence.

Here is information from the CDC, which is the Vatican of v******y for anti-Trumpers. Last spring, after looking at 10 randomized controlled trials (the gold standard as far as Dr. F***i is concerned), we have this: “[T]he CDC, as late as May, was citing the 10 randomized controlled trials that showed "no significant reduction in influenza t***smission with the use of face masks."

If that’s not enough, how about this from The Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford: “(It) summarized six international studies which ‘showed that masks alone have no significant effect in interrupting the spread of ILI or influenza in the general population, nor in healthcare workers.’”

Here’s some more from Horowitz’s article: Swedish epidemiologist Anders Tegnell: the scientific evidence for mask-wearing to prevent C****-** is "astonishingly weak."

Netherlands Medical Care Minister Tamara van Ark: "From a medical point of view, there is no evidence of a medical effect of wearing face masks, so we decided not to impose a national obligation."

Public Health England concluded, "There is weak evidence from epidemiological and modelling studies that mask wearing in the community may contribute to reducing the spread of C****-**.”

Horowitz cites work by our own HHS, which concludes that wearing masks since they serve as bacteria traps, incubators, and t***sport devices for pathogens, might actually make you sick:

In June, HHS' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality funded a systemic review of all relevant randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on the effectiveness of mask-wearing in stopping respiratory infections and published the findings in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The conclusion was as clear as it is jarring to the current cult-like devotion to mask-wearing. "Review of RCTs indicates that N95 respirators and surgical masks are probably associated with similar risk for influenza-like illness and laboratory-confirmed v***l infections in high- and low-risk settings."

HHS looked at eight trials with over 6,000 participants and concluded:

“Compared with no masks, surgical masks were not associated with decreased risk for clinical respiratory illness, influenza-like illness, or laboratory-confirmed v***l illness in household contacts when masks were worn by household contacts, index cases, or both."

Quebec’s public health director, Horacio Arruda, said, masks "get saturated with moisture from the mouth and nose after about 20 minutes. Once they're wet, they no longer form a barrier against v***ses trying to come through or exit."

Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, an infectious disease doctor at UCLA, said wearing masks is all psychological, not physiological, biological, or scientific. Masks “only make you feel better.”

In other words, our manic obsession with masks is a matter of political science, not actual science. It’s voodoo v******y, not real v******y.

This is how Horowitz concludes his article:

“We have become emasculated as a society. We have become a people who are willing to surrender every morsel of our liberty at the ever-changing and capricious whims of ‘public health officials,’ even when they are appallingly contradictory and without any evidence justifying the 180-degree U-turn ... our passivity has allowed our entire country to become a Halloween nightmare masquerade every day, with no end in sight.”

This is from The Stand, published on 9-21-2020. It is an American Family Association site. If that bothers you, fine. Check out the sources of the quotes, and research them yourself. I continue to wear a mask when required by law, but I wear it a little as possible, and I resent being required to do so. Masks are practically useless, and are dangerous. My grandchildren are required to wear one NINE HOURS a day at school! They might as well be drinking ditch water.

Great Post!

I sent years working in an industry where respirators & mask were required, had to be certified to give breathing tests to see if employees could even wear them & fit the masks. The fit testing is a tedious process. Routine spot testing in the plants is too.

I tried to explain to people the different uses for masks & the short comings of them. The cloth masks people are wearing may be hurting them, condensing germs in the damp masks that would normally be exhaled.

The N95 mask, is not a mask, it is considered a respirator & no company can require an employee to wear one w/o testing. It is strictly designed to protect the wearer from particulates not microbes.

We wear masks where they are required out of respect for the store mangers & the store employees having to wear them. I wear N95’s when I am grinding metal. When I am welding I use a cartridge respirator.

Only time I wear a mask is when I'm going to a Dr appointment and I never cover my nose !

I've been Dr for high Hemoglobin which is not getting enough oxygen in my blood system and when I go to Walmart and places they tell me I'm exempt !

Junk science.

No, liberals science is JUNK science!
You guys are like bringing a horse drawn wagon to the Indy 500.

I'd love a politician to come on to my property and try to write and hand me a ticket.

Put on your mask coward. Actually we'd prefer a muzzle.

Nope. Check out the sources. However, feel free to wear or not, wh**ever you think best. It would be nice if you would give the rest of us that privilege. One other thought, though. If a conservative and a liberal are both shopping in a Seven Eleven, and the liberal is wearing a mask but the conservative is not, why does the liberal get enraged? I mean, if he is wearing a mask, then he is protected, regardless if the conservative is wearing a mask or not. Right? So why the anger?

Of course, I guess it could be the MAGA cap or the TRUMP 2020 bumper sticker.

As you said, masks give you a false sense of security while raising your CO2 levels and lowering your O2 levels. Did I come up with that alone? No, OSHA, WHO, CDC, HIPPA, ADA, AMA, NIH, UN, so many independent doctors and they say follow the science. Well here it is.

They h**e having their nose rubbed in the psyop their handlers perpetrated. That's if they haven't been so affected that they have headaches daily (oh sorry, that's my migraines), but a side effect of masks is depressions and headaches which at the extreme can lead to suicide.-science

Well if you commit suicide, they don’t have to v******te you to death.

I have refused to wear a mask since this thing started. The only place I have to wear one is at one grocery store that enforces "No Mask, No Service".

This draconian bulls**t is dehumanizing, it is turning us into a bunch of couch potato zombies. I ain't buying it.

Randy, you know that, I know that but I can't get into the hospital to visit my wife without having one on. Even most of the people working at the hospital, Drs, nurses etc. think the masks are a joke but unfortunately it's the law where I live.

I have to wear a mask from the door to table at a restaurant but once at the table don't need the mask. This is a let's see just how easy it'll be to control the masses and so far it's working for the invisible forces. Mike

If the 'demonrat-r**t-party' likes masks so much they should 'duck-tape' their klanteefa operatives mouths shut
