Even more evidence that nobody should wear a face mask
First of all, they don't work. Second of all, they are detrimental to your health.
I recently updated my Bangladesh study mask article to add two new resources of interest.
A paper published in JAMA in 2019 showed that surgical masks and N95 masks were completely ineffective against the flu. They both offered the same amount of protection, i.e., none. This is of course why nobody wears them to stop a virus. In fact, the surgical mask actually performed slightly better than the N95 mask in the study. How can that be? It’s obvious: both masks offered no protection whatsoever so it was a wash and the differences were simply random.
This tweet by Robin Monotti summarizes a new study done in Germany showing that masks cause unsafe levels of CO2 with devastating health consequences that the CDC doesn’t want anyone to know about. Read more.
STOP PRESS: Covid-Masks filled with graphene oxide..! Hi Steve, there's a March 2021 article online which says that the masks, mostly manufactured and imported from China, contained 'graphene oxide' which is toxic, as you may know. Canada's recalled them but everybody else continues to wear them, even in New Zealand, many years later. Allegedly the graphene oxide kills SARS CoV-2, according to 'industry' science, i.e. the manufacturers themselves (ha..!): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8233064/ . Here is the article: https://medium.com/edge-of-innovation/how-safe-are-graphene-based-face-masks-b88740547e8c. Plus, hand sanitizers are unregulated in New Zealand. I washed my hands once with one and I went to the emergency the next day, as I had Covid-like symptoms. Sadly, at the hospital, they gave me a PCR test as well, saying it wasn't a PCR..! I continued to have a runny nose for three months from the exact prickly point where it went in, on one side of the nose. The PCR may contain nanobots, according to research I did.
And another one:
"This Morning (TV) dental expert Dr Uchenna Okoye died from a bleed on the brain as her family said they are heartbroken 'her beautiful, full life has been cut so short'. ... A coroner's report, obtained by the MailOnline, has revealed Dr Uchenna's cause of death was a 'subarachnoid haemorrhage', sparked by a ruptured blood vessel - known as an aneurysm - which caused bleeding in the space between the brain and the tissues which surround it."
And in the medical journals:
"... there are increasing reports of various types of stroke including ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke, as well as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) after COVID-19 vaccination. ... Ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)23 have been reported after COVID-19 vaccination. "
