“Facemasks in the COVID-19 era: A health hypothesis” by PMC/US National Library of Medicine/Med Hypotheses
This paper reads in part,
The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize prosper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.

“Facemasks in the COVID-19 era: A health hypothesis” by Baruch Vainshelboim for the National Library of Medicine
Abstract. . .
. . .Although, scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established. Is has been hypothesized that facemasks have compromised safety and efficacy profile and should be avoided from use. .
Conclusion
The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize prosper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.

““I Do Not Recommend That You Wear a Mask” – Fauci Tells Woman Face Masks Do Not Protect Against Covid #FauciEmails” by Larry Johnson for The Gateway Pundit
This report reads, in part,
In an email dated February of 2020, Dr. Fauci is advising a woman not to wear a face mask because they don’t protect against the virus.
“Masks are really for infected people to prevent them from spreading infection to people who are not infected rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection. The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material. It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you,” Fauci wrote. “I do not recommend that you wear a mask, particularly since you are going to a very low risk location. Your instincts are correct, money is best spent on medical countermeasures such as diagnostics and vaccines.”
Recall, Fauci flip-flopped on mask-wearing several times throughout the pandemic.
On March, 8 2020 — Dr. Anthony Fauci advised healthy Americans against wearing face masks.
In April 2020 — The CDC said Americans should be wearing face masks for the COVID.
In May 2020 — Dr. Anthony Fauci and the New England Journal of Medicine have admitted that masks are little more than symbols. Virtue signaling.
On January 25, 2021 — Dr. Fauci told healthy Americans to wear two masks instead of one.
And then one week later…
On January 31, 2021 —Dr. Fauci backtracked on that insane idea of wearing multiple masks.

“Dr. Gottlieb Now Admits Cloth Masks Don’t Provide Protection Against Covid-19 (VIDEO)” Cristina Laila for The Gateway Pundit
Now it’s okay to say this?
Dr. Scott Gottlieb – former FDA Commissioner-turned-member-of-board-of-directors of Pfizer on Sunday said what we’ve known all along: Cloth masks do not protect against Covid.
“Cloth masks aren’t going to provide a lot of protection. That’s the bottom line. This is an airborne illness, we now understand that” Gottlieb said to Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan.
How many immunocompromised people died because they were lied to about the efficacy of cloth masks?
How many people were banned from social media for saying cloth masks don’t provide protection against Covid?

At this stage of the pandemic, cloth masks don’t provide much protection against COVID-19, according to @ScottGottliebMD. pic.twitter.com/pvX5McVnzX

Scott Gottlieb also said that parents should decide if their children receive a COVID-19 booster.
“I certainly don’t think schools should be mandating boosters. I think this should be left up to the discretion of parents and their physicians. You know, it’s going to depend on the individual circumstance,” Gottlieb said during his interview on Face the Nation.

“CDC Updates Mask Guidance, Says N95 Masks Provide the Most Protection Against Covid-19” by Cristina Laila for The Gateway Pundit
We’re nearly two years into this mess and the CDC is just now admitting cloth masks don’t really work.
Although the CDC said N95 masks offer the best protection, they said people can still choose to wear a cloth mask if it fits properly.
“Masks and respirators (i.e., specialized filtering masks such as “N95s”) can provide different levels of protection depending on the type of mask and how they are used. Loosely woven cloth products provide the least protection, layered finely woven products offer more protection, well-fitting disposable surgical masks and KN95s offer even more protection, and well-fitting NIOSH-approved respirators (including N95s) offer the highest level of protection.” the CDC said.
The CDC said a shortage of N95s is no longer a concern and clarified that “surgical N95s” should be reserved for healthcare settings.
Biden on Thursday announced at-home Covid tests and face masks will be available to Americans “for free.”
The high-quality (highly uncomfortable) N95 masks are supposed to be thrown away after one use so who is going to be paying for the millions of masks that need to be replaced daily?

“Masks now optional for employees, customers following White House announcement” by Staff Writer for Delta Airlines
Effective immediately, masks are optional for all airport employees, crew members and customers inside U.S. airports and on board all aircraft domestically, as well as on most international flights..
…We are relieved to see the U.S. mask mandate lift to facilitate global travel as COVID-19 has transitioned to an ordinary seasonal virus.
Regarding the above, the Washington Post published, “Delta rewrites statement that called covid-19 ‘ordinary seasonal virus’” in which they wrote,
After backlash on social media, Delta Air Lines has walked back a comment falsely claiming that the coronavirus, which continues to account for more than 35,000 new cases per day, has become “an ordinary seasonal virus.”
The airline made the comment Monday in an announcement stating that it will no longer require masks — a move several U.S. airlines have made after a federal judge struck down mask mandates in public transportation settings.
Delta Air Lines rewrote the statement on Tuesday after a number of people — including public health experts — accused the carrier of spreading misinformation. The announcement now reads that the airline is “relieved” to see the mask mandate lifted as the coronavirus “transitions to a more manageable respiratory virus — with better treatments, vaccines and other scientific measures to prevent serious illness.”
