Mask wearing does help reduce community transmission

Interesting video. Resurrection of an odd factor. In terms of life reaching 50 gets people over the first hurdle. Far more likely to achieve old age.

That one hasn't come out of the cupboard for a very long time. What an excellent time to bring it up again.

I've just tested positive. So my turn to find out what it is like.

I don't want to say much in case it gets worse. Murphy etc.

Just like a cold or flu tough - afraid it's not for me. Feeling rather knocked about at the moment.

All cause mortality across the world didn't increase in 2020, it is now though, since 2021, in fact the most vaccinated countries, such as Portugal and Israel are seeing problems with both Covid and increased mortality figures. Masks are a waste of time, every historical study on them has failed to show any benefit, and not all surgeons wear them either, but when they do, they change them every hour and wear them in a controlled environment.

without evidence you are stating opinin as fact

unlike me

face masks do work:

Face masks for COVID pass their largest test yet

A rigorous study finds that surgical masks are highly protective, but cloth masks fall short.

Additional empirical evidence from a recent randomised controlled trial (originally published as a preprint) indicates that mask wearing achieved a 9.3% reduction in seroprevalence of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and an 11.9% reduction in the prevalence of covid-19-like symptoms

Tik Tok isn't the source, it's just the hosting platform, it's irrelevant to the information being posted on it, it just presents it.

it is relevant -tik tok allows any old sh1t

not compared to pre vaccination they arent

and not all surgeons wear them either, but when they do, they change them every hour and wear them in a controlled environment

a weedy strawman

surgeons are not concerned with the spread of a virus

face masks do work:

So since you appear to claim to be the font of all knowledge on the topic of masks...

Given that China/Asia has a fairly long history of mask wearing (which has essentially become the 'social norm'), most 'virus' outbreaks apparently originate from that region...

Could you explain why?

 

[Notch7]

Presenting 'empirical evidence' from the same people promoting the lie isn't very compelling to be honest.

Please provide the evidence that nature.com and British Medical Journal are promoting lies


You are just a conspiracist theorist and your only argument is: "my information is better than yours"

 

[Notch7]

, as that's what all the historical data says

no it doesnt

and you havent provided any historical data so its just your opinion which is wrong

 

[denso13]

every historical study on them has failed to show any benefit

No they don't.

 

[denso13]

Just a little something for you to ponder on, I know why, lets see if you do?

Source?

 

[denso13]

it was to measure compliance and promote fear.

No it wasn't.

 

[denso13]

most 'virus' outbreaks apparently originate from that region...

You don't believe covid exists, so in your world there were no outbreaks and therefore masks are useless.
