Search is your friend! Hospital workers wearing cloth mask suffer from significantly increased chance of bacterial infections. You are the one who needs education!

Yes, cloth masks, what 90% of people are wearing, which aren’t doing a damn bit of good.

I'd say more like 95%+. N95 masks or what the study calls "medical masks" even are 44% virus permeable. Guess this is why you would be kicked out of a level IV bio lab and laughed at for relying on either of the above.

" An analysis by mask use showed ILI (RR=6.64, 95% CI 1.45 to 28.65) and laboratory-confirmed virus (RR=1.72, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.94) were significantly higher in the cloth masks group compared with the medical masks group. Penetration of cloth masks by particles was almost 97% and medical masks 44%."

You’re kidding, right?? What you posted had ZERO scientific evidence that supports mask wearing by the general population.

What you call "Legit science website" cites no actual research to support any of it's claims, because with regard to cloth masks, there is none.

LMAO What you just called a basement blog is the only comprehensive study on the subject.

"Legit science": propaganda purveyed by the self-protecting priesthood. Peer Review approval is merely reward for perpetuating dogma. What we now have in control of medicine are an entire army of Trofim Lysenkos.

See John Rockefeller, Abraham Flexner, and the birth of Big Pharma, which usurped control of medical schooling and medical practice, in 1910. We have had medical tyranny by a self-appointed elite ever since. Medical "heretics" are punished for their "heresy".

How many awards in the physical sciences (including biology) have you garnered? I have garnered seven. How high is your intelligence quotient? Mine is well above 150.

I stopped going to "medical doctors" more than 25 years ago, when I nearly died under their care; I have since then have relied upon diet, nutrition, and Natural Law, and I have been far healthier than I ever was while following their profit-making directions.

Follow the money. Follow the power.

Follow the control.

"Hospital workers."

"Increased chance of bacterial infections."

Um, what do you think... hospital workers do, raise horses? Sounds more like... what would happen at a hospital, nothing to do with the mask. The only way to fully protect yourself at a hospital is to not go to the hospital.

Jesus, you do realize that that is IN ADDITION TO the failure to protect from viral particles.... RIGHT? Not only do they fail to protect from the virus but they put you at increased risk of bacterial infection as well.

If you read that study, they were comparing 3 groups: medical masks, cloth masks, and no masks. The cloth mask group got more infections than the non-mask group. So the point that this is in a hospital setting does not invalidate their result.
