The massive evidence against facial masks
I just came across this photo, celebrated by more than 8K people on Quora:
It’s pretty hard to pack 3 fallacies and serious misinformation into one short sentence, but she actually managed it 🤦♂️😱
- she believes that tiny pieces of plastic will protect her from viruses
- she does not understand the harm caused by facial masks
- she thinks that the rejection of face masks has something to do with a belief in a god instead of a scientific education
- I’m extrapolating, but I bet that she thinks that the anti-COVID products from Pfizer, Moderna, Astra-Zeneka and Johnson&Johnson will protect her from COVID
- she does not understand how absolutely essential guns are for the protection of life and liberty, but I’m going to ignore that, for now; I’m Swiss; we own guns
Sooo much to unpack 🙄
I studied physics and IT. I wrote expert systems for DuPont for protective work clothing for dangerous environments in the 1990s. I had to go through gigantic lists of dangerous substances and understand what level of protection was required for each threat - chemical, physical, biological.
None of the suits DuPont had in their lineup would have been acceptable for biohazard protection.
This is what you need as protection against viruses: a biohazard suit level 4 with independent air supply!
NOTHING else will keep out viruses!
Surgical masks are completely useless as protection from any kind of infection! The only use for which the CDC recommended them before 2020 was as source control:
Respiratory Protection vs. Source Control - What’s the difference?
Source Control: Unlike respirators,masks are not designed to reduce the particles that the wearer will inhale and are not evaluated by NIOSH for their effectiveness to protect the wearer from airborne hazards. While there are many different mask designs available, they typically do not form the necessary seal against the wearer’s skin or have the appropriate level of filtration.
You wear a mask if you are sick and sneeze or cough so it will limit the particles you spread with droplets. But droplets are almost completely irrelevant. You’d have to be really unlucky to swallow a droplet or to wipe your face with droplets on your hand.
Interestingly, this is exactly what Fauci initially said, matching the scientific evidence. His message then suddenly changed for entirely political reasons:

Respiratory viruses will be exhaled by infected people and thus enter the air around them. The mask will do nothing to stop this. It will not stop viruses floating in the air from entering other people’s respiratory system.
Forcing healthy people to wear masks is completely pointless.
This study from 1980 demonstrated experimentally that tracer particles exhaled by a surgeon ended up all over the wound without even going through the mask, which is exactly what anyone with knowledge of fluid dynamics would expect:
The efficacy of standard surgical face masks: an investigation using "tracer particles" - PubMed
Most of the airflow goes around the edges of the mask!
Even if the mask itself could block viruses (it cannot, the grid is about 2–3 orders of magnitude too wide to stop viruses or bacteria), that is irrelevant, as they don’t even need to go through the mask.
Here is the CDC’s own warning not to wear facial masks as protection against smoke, as smoke particles go straight through the mask - and if smoke particles go through, so do bacteria and viruses! QED
While N95 masks are apparently closed on the sides, the space between the skin and the mask is still as wide as the Grand Canyon, for pathogens and even the tighter weave of an N95 mask will not block viruses. The claim is that they attract viruses via electrostatic effects, but they do not hold smoke particles, so I doubt that they will hold viruses.
Here is a medical doctor demonstrating that smoke goes right through facial masks, unhindered, after explaining how infections actually occur based on airflow, which can carry viruses inside an office - and facial masks will make absolutely no difference!

This study from 1991 showed that there was a decrease in post-operative infections when surgeons did not wear masks:
Postoperative wound infections and surgical face masks: a controlled study - PubMed
"It has never been shown that wearing surgical face masks decreases postoperative wound infections. On the contrary,a 50% decrease has been reported after omitting face mask”
The problem of contamination of facial masks among healthcare workers is well known. Imagine how much worse it is for untrained individuals who do not even handle masks in the most professional way…
So what’s the evidence after 2 years of facial mask wearing? We could read this in the media:
The astonishing data that proves masks don't work
as Covid cases in Singapore and New Zealand OVERTAKE Australia despite SUPER strict mandates: 'They don't matter'
One of the most extensive studies, to date, examined 35 European countries and compared their outcome in terms of infection rates and COVID deaths vs the mask compliance and enforcement:
Correlation Between Mask Compliance and COVID-19 Outcomes in Europe
Conclusion
While no cause-effect conclusions could be inferred from this observational analysis, the lack of negative correlations between mask usage and COVID-19 cases and deaths suggest that the widespread use of masks at a time when an effective intervention was most needed, i.e., during the strong 2020-2021 autumn-winter peak, was not able to reduce COVID-19 transmission. Moreover, the moderate positive correlation between mask usage and deaths in Western Europe also suggests that the universal use of masks may have had harmful unintended consequences.
In other words, not only were facial masks completely useless, they were actually harmful!
So what harm could facial masks inflict?
This German study from 2021 showed a large number of extremely negative effects - please note the list of experts and institutes which participated in this study! - this is very serious and cannot be dismissed:
The list of harmful effects is way too large to copy. They go from respiratory problems, to the absorption of microplastics, the collection of pathogens on both sides of the mask, psychological problems, learning disabilities in small children who cannot see lips moving etc. I’ll let you read the study!
So basically face masks are completely useless and even outright harmful! This was evident, to me, the second they started telling people to wear masks.
And I’ve barely scratched to surface of the massive evidence!
As for the “vaccines”… this nightmare has only just begun.
I have a list with more than 1000 scientific studies - all from top notch journals (Nature, PubMed, BMJ, NEJM etc.) - about severe (!) adverse reactions to the entire range of anti-COVID “vaccines” (mRNA or Vector). That is way more than even professionals can absorb.
I’ll just focus on the latest data from Singapore, where a study just found that cardiovascular problems from the Pfizer mRNA “vaccine” do not affect 1 in 500K, not 1 in 20K, but 1 in 43 adolescents!!!
Cardiovascular Effects of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine in Adolescents
The most common cardiovascular effects were tachycardia (7.64%), shortness of breath (6.64%), palpitation (4.32%), chest pain (4.32%), and hypertension (3.99%). Seven participants (2.33%) exhibited at least one elevated cardiac biomarker or positive lab assessments. Cardiovascular effects were found in 29.24% of patients, ranging from tachycardia, palpitation, and myopericarditis. Myopericarditis was confirmed in one patient after vaccination. Two patients had suspected pericarditis and four patients had suspected subclinical myocarditis.
Let me repeat, this is not new - it has been documented in multiple studies that these products cause heart problems. This information has beens systematically suppressed by social and mainstream media - one of the biggest scandals in history!
Considering that the risk of suffering any serious consequencs from COVID for healthy adolescents is almost non-existent (1 in 500K to 1 in 1 Million), it is pure evil to inject them with products that can cause severe health issues and might even kill them outright.
“Mild” myocardites is not mild at all - damage to the heart muscle is permanent. It does not heal.
As this German study from 2009 found:
Myocarditis: Early Biopsy Allows for Tailored Regenerative Treatment
Non-fulminant active myocarditis has a mortality rate of 25% to 56% within 3 to 10 years, owing to progressive heart failure and sudden cardiac death, especially if symptomatic heart failure manifests early on
So basically, most adolescents who were given mRNA “vaccines” now live with a potential death sentence over their heads…
The lockdowns have been shown to have had only disastrous consequences with no net benefits:
A Literature Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality - II
FUREY: New Canadian study breaks down 'ineffectiveness' and harms of lockdowns
My main question is: why do people keep believing “authorities” that are known to be either incompetent or corrupt to the bone?
None of this is new - as reported even by the far-left Guardian, in 2009 WHO had push governments to spend billions on totally unnecessary vaccines against the Swine ‘flu:
Report condemns swine flu experts' ties to big pharma
Wouldn’t it be high time to demand scientific evidence before accepting any kind of “measures”?
I have no idea how this kind of shopping restrictions were supposed to make sense:
Switzerland
Canada
France
So this was not localized madness, it was planned and internationally coordinated. I am 100% sure that those who imposed this nonsense knew perfectly that it was pointless. It was never intended to “stop a virus”. The point was to inflict maximum pain on the people so that they would be willing to get “vaccinated”. Which is totally illegitimate.
We now know that the “vaccines” do not prevent infection, do not prevent transmission and it is highly questionable if they really prevent severe illness. We also know that they can cause severe health issue, especially in young people.
The people who pushed this need to be prosecuted!
