Hello everyone!
This is Post No. 3 on the public wearing of face masks. According to the most recent studies in both New York and the UK, scientists studying the prevalence of antibodies for covid-19 estimate between 70 and 90% of the population will likely already have antibodies. Please do check this up for yourself but the latter is includided in the article in Post 1, above, published in the Daily Telegraph. If we add to this the statement made by the Director of Emerging Diseases at the WHO on 8th June, who said it was extremely rare for asymptomatic people to be able to pass anything on. (This was then changed due to lobbying) then...erm....most people haven't got anything to spread.... However, this post is about the actual efficacy of the things and the effect on our own health, on those forced to wear them - ie benefit v risks to the majority.
1. Efficacy. The writer of this article worked as a nurse in recovery and operating theatres at one time, and has also worked for a major pharmaceutical company in microbiology. Medical grade masks are worn in operating theatres by staff with regard to cross-contamination. These masks will work for a certain period of time only, before needing to be changed. Thus the cloth and cheap masks being worn are of little use. In fact, viruses are so tiny you cannot see them under a microscope, unlike bacteria, so sure they are going to filter easily through a bit of material (should you have symptoms to actually pass on). And if a virus is also spread by touch, which it is, then again if you were hoping to protect yourself you would not only need to wear a medical grade mask and change it regularly, but also wear gloves and after you've touched anything, change the gloves. Articles and links to doctors and independent medical advice are below, but please do your own research - it is so important that you do. There are plenty of medical advisors paid for by governments and institutions who will now say we should wear them (after all this time, and with flights still landing from highly infected counties througout lockdown)... but have a look at who they are and who pays their mortgages first... We feel we cannot trust anyone at face value anymore - we must research this for ourselves. The doctors we are listening to are those who are sticking their necks out despite all the risks; along with those who are fully independent. We do however, also include a CDC link written in 2018!
2. They can and do cause hypoxia and will reduce lung efficacy. Have a look into this.... If you have the flu or a chest infection, then the healthier your lungs are the better and quicker your recovery. Without going into the stats yet, although we have them pulled from the UK Govt's own site and will publish those shortly, most people are walking around with antibodies, are asymptomatic, and are healthy. Put a mask on however, and very soon you are getting a reduced amount of oxygen. Not only that, but the masks are a moist breeding ground for bacteria and viruses to proliferate. And you are breathing them in.. inhaling these back into the system instead of out into the air to be replaced with oxygen.
3. End game. When does it end? We are looking at the psychology of this... so you get free when you get vaxed? We all feel, on our team, that now is the time to say enough is enough. Who are these people telling us what is best for our health? This could be over tomorrow if we said, no! So what about the vulnerable? Well, what about the majority? There should be a choice. If you want to protect yourself, you can wear a surgical mask and that is your prerogative. People with underlying conditions are always going to be susceptible to secondary pulmonary infections. There are also treatment combinations successfully used in other countries (notably India) but not here... Now that would take away an awful lot of the fear if you are in the 1-3% who might be hospitalised (nearly all in the over 80 and/or heart disease category). What's the percentage for a flu outbreak normally, by the way? Was that ever compared?
Summary:
If 80% at least, have antibodies, and asymptomatic people are extremely unlikely to be able to spread something they are not suffering from, and the treatment is now finally available ( ah, but it's so cheap when vaccines are around £477 a shot, we heard - we need to check that out).... then why the heck are we being deprived of oxygen? One more thought, something to consider, why would Twitter put out a
statment like this (July 2020) 'Everyone wear a mask or you don't get an
edit button!' They have 15 million followers on that account and most
were screaming for an edit button (for 140 characters or is it 280 now? -
anyway, hardly a problem) and demanding others wear a 'f***ing mask!'
So, are twitter informed doctors, virologists or medical advisors now?
Meanwhile the so called experts or paid govt advisors have chopped and
changed their advise so many times, it begs the question if we should
take a darned bit of notice anymore. On that note, here are some
interesting links from brave professionals who are speaking out
against this mandate, along with the aforementioned CDC advise! We also
recommend checking out Dr Bhuttar. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article
Matt
Hancock's mandate for the UK, using an 'urgent' clause to enforce face
covering. Please note the sections on exactly which establishments can
legally enforce this and which cannot. Also, that only 'partial'
protection is acknowledged. And finally, another important point is that
this was never drafted in Parliament. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/791/pdfs/uksiem_20200791_en.pdf
Stop Press:
"Netherlands
has decided not to mandate the wearing of facemasks in public, citing
the fact that there is no scientific evidence to suggest they are
effective against the spread of the coronavirus.
“From a
medical perspective there is no proven effectiveness of masks, the
Cabinet has decided that there will be no national obligation for
wearing non-medical masks” announced Netherlands Minister for Medical
Care Tamara van Ark.
In Sweden, meanwhile, senior epidemiologist Anders Tegnell declared that there is “no point” in wearing masks in public.
“We see no point in wearing a face mask in Sweden, not even on public transport,” Tegnell said.
Sweden, which has not even instituted a lock down at any time, appears to be seeing a downward trend in cases.
At the beginning of this week, Sweden announced just 398 new cases, down from 767 the week before and 2,530 one month ago.
‘The
curves go down, and the curves over the seriously ill begin to be very
close to zero. As a whole, it is very positive,’ Tegnell asserted."
