I really don't get why people want to spread infection.
Mask wearing does three things:
It prevents you from spreading infection.
It prevents you from getting an infection.
If you do become infected, you get a smaller dose of viruses, and you are better at fighting off the infection.
Now that we now know vaccinated people can spread Corona viruses, this is important
This is a no brainer
THIS is a no-brainer...we should NOT wear masks because....
- Masks adversely affect respiratory physiology and function.
- Masks lower oxygen levels in the blood
- Masks raise carbon dioxide levels in the blood
- SARS CoV-2 is armed with a “furin cleavage site” that makes it more pathogenic
- Masks trap exhaled viral (and other) pathogens in the mouth/mask interspace, increase viral/infectious load, and increase the severity of disease
- SARS CoV-2 Becomes More Dangerous When Blood Oxygen Levels Decline
- The furin cleavage site of SARS CoV-2 increases cellular invasion, especially during hypoxia (low blood oxygen levels)
- Masks may increase the risk of contracting Covid-19 and other respiratory infections
- Wearing a face mask may give a false sense of security
- Masks compromise communications and reduce social distancing
- Masks Worn Imperfectly Are Dangerous
- Masks collect and colonize viruses, bacteria, and mold
- Wearing a face mask makes the exhaled air (respiratory plumes) go into the eyes
- Face masks and stay at home orders prevent the development of herd immunity
- Face masks are dangerous and contraindicated for a large number of people with pre-existing medical conditions and disabilities
