It makes no sense to argue against the person! The matter masks is not black / white (as most of other matters are not). One should argue against the references one has used to underline a statement! Masks are not masks. And situations to wear those are different. (Small rooms / out of doors etc) Self made masks are useless. FFP2 and FFP3 can protect. Proper use is important. And when referring to a study use reputable authors and peer-reviewed studies. There are study designs where they turn out being useless and there are study designs where they show effects. The question is always: How does the study design apply to real life situations? Is it sufficient to force people wearing one? IMHO no, it should be voluntarily. But that is just opinion. I am used to wear masks due to my job. They do protect in that way that they minimize risks at work. But when it comes to personal opinions we have our own. To fight is useless.
>Self made masks are useless. That's a stupid statement ......... wich self made ones ? ......... and why useless ? .......... You mean theoreticly not as effective ........... BUT ........... as you say ---- > ' Proper use is important. ' ........... The PP2 masks offer better protection because they have finer pores .......... if useed properly ............ BUT ......... the blue op masks are absolutely useless because they dont close onto the face properly ........ they're open on both sides of the nose , often also the cheeks ......... and sometimes under the chin ........... and look how many people ' cover ' their noses but not realy ............ when those people breath the air doesnt come through the mask ...... it comes in and out through those spaces .......... want proof ? ...... then look at people who wear a blue mask and wear glasses .......... the glasses often get steamed up ......... wich wouldnt happen if the masks were effective / usefull . We've been driven into actionism and ordered to wear expensive and useless blue op masks to stop a spike in infections ........... that wasnt caused because people use scarfs ......... it was caused because we always have more respiratory illnesses in winter ...... and ...... we just had crapmass where lots of people got together . = It would be better to ban crapmass than to force people to wear useless masks .
Using mask is unnatural. We are designed to breathe pure air without restrictions, in any form. Sooner or later we all gonna end catching the coronavirus, a matter of time. Fear to death... Poor humans.
No it's not a stupid statement. Professional masks have to undergo a quality control and they use professional machines (to darn in the threads), tissues and threads. When people are making own masks they use different tissues. Also to darn in the threads to assure it is tight is not given. You have no quality control at self made masks, especially at the seams and tissues. Yeah and use two condoms, too. No really. One is enough.
Why not three or four hey even five masks like one stupid woman down here in Mexicos Metro subway someone told... Better be safe than sorry! Covidiots. Even better super better more than better: STOP THE F* BREATHING NOOOOO!!!!????
Some would rather squash anothers opinion than to just let them have it. This never works. It just causes a lot of heart ache, and eventially it comes back on them and bites them on the ass. I get it though. It s the platform. You want everyone to stroke your cock, and visa versa. Well count me out on that one pal
I agree. They are a symbol of; keep your mouth shut, and do as I say. It s an experiment in controling the cattle we, as humans, are now. Im afraid this isin t going to end well.
Courageous doctors are at last taking a stand against the fear-based lies spread by the media. Below are actual statements by doctors holding current professional position. (Compiled by Kazuo Satoh) "The media is inciting abnormal fear. "To develop a safe vaccine within a year is impossible. "There are numerous pointers the novel corona virus could have manmade origins." Dr. Satoshi Ohmura, Nobel Laureate in Medicine "More serious than the illness and death caused by Covid-19 has been the psychological damage it has done, particularly in relation to children. It's proven that wearing masks has caused unusual and many-sided impairment (side-effects) in children physically, behaviourally, cognitively and emotionally." Dr. Shinjiro Honma "PCR testing is a source of countless ills and errors. Covid-19 is a manmade disaster. The virus has become thoroughly studied in terms of molecular geometry, immune response and clinical conditions. There are decisive differences between vaccinating against it and the influenza shot. This injection is wholly unnecessary. The medical technology has similarities with genetic modification techniques, and we won't know the true results until ten or twenty years later. Once you inject this vaccine, there's no going back. A possibility exits of lifelong side effects in terms of autoimmune disorders." Dr. Masayasu Inoue, Emeritus professor at Osaka City University "Masks lower immune resistance to Covid-19. The reason is the immune system derives its strength from breathing. The longer you wear the mask, the more strain you put on your immune system, and the easier it becomes to get infected." Dr. Ryoichi Obitsu "A state of emergency and self-isolation are not policies we should implement again." Dr. Takao Aoki (Tokyo Jikei University School of Medicine) "Every year over ten million people suffer from influenza, winter being the peak of infectivity, yet our medical system collapsing from it is surely impossible. In Japan, the yearly death toll from Covid-19 has been less than 2000, akin to the common cold, and incomparable to the death rate of influenza, which can be over 3000 in a single month. Taking this strain of the common cold as 'highly infective', we have admitted people with even mild symptoms to the hospital => 'we've run out of hospital beds' => 'people with serious symptoms can't be admitted to the hospital / we can't even perform regular surgery' => 'our medical system has collapsed'. Does this state of affairs not imply stupidity? The real question is not 'is our medical system collapsing?', it's 'isn't this system based on stupidity?' Dr. Keisuke Arai "With the highest number of hospital beds per person, and 1/100 of the number of patients in America, what does our collapsing medical system show to the world? That the death rate from Covid-19 in Japan is smaller than that of influenza is clear. Also, the deceased have mostly been the elderly with pre-existing health conditions; meanwhile children, who develop severe symptoms from influenza, are showing hardly any signs of illness at all. Covid-19 has indeed reduced the spread of influenza and possibly other more serious infectious diseases. What a kind sort of virus that is! This winter looks to become one of the safest years on record in terms of the spread of infectious disease. But despite all that, why self-isolate, why shut down the economy? We've never imposed self-isolation like that, even during rampant influenza like last year. So why now shut down the economy? Why force everyone to wear masks? Dr. Shinpei Ishii "Positive PCR test results do not mean actual infection. As long as we rely on PCR tests as the measure of infectivity the virus will never disappear, and the mania cannot be stopped. The more you think about this the more outrageous the whole mania becomes." Dr. Shosei Fujiwara "Wearing masks while talking we prevent transmission of virus microparticles, which inhibits build-up of immune strength and actually increases vulnerability in the long run. Forcing children to wear masks seems foolish. "When finding positive PCR results in medical facilities or schools we proceed to test everyone, and if more results are found we term this a virus cluster even if no illness symptoms are present. This spreads rumors and creates great alarm, but why are we doing this I don't understand. It sinks the economy, causes psychological turmoil, creates social distrust, and increases suicides beyond actual virus fatalities. Why are we doing this? Is it not time to stop this charade?" Dr. Nobuo Kaneshiro "Telling people to put on and take off masks during meals is nonsense. There's basic ignorance on how the virus spreads. "The situation now is very discomforting, as people dying of heart attack are labelled as victims of Covid-19. Using such doctor-invented labels to overwrite actual causes of death is impermissible I think." Dr. Reiji Goto "Using unreliable PCR tests to label people as infected is effectively spreading fake news, it's criminal. On the basis of positive tests, people are forced into isolation, and even their workplace contacts will need to be screened. This is a serious violation of human rights and negatively affects business and work. Also, masks don't offer protection against the spreading virus. Ineffectiveness aside, wearing masks for long is actually harmful. It causes chronic lowering of blood oxygen levels, thereby weakening the immune system. Bacteria, fungi and virus particles attaching to masks can also increase the risk of the infection spreading. Furthermore, after two hours of wear, hippocampus cells in the brain that are responsible for memory functions begin to die, so prolonged mask wear induces risks of cognitive impairment, as well as developmental disorders in children. There are concerns too that masks prevent young children from reading people's facial expression, which greatly hampers their psychological development and communication. Prohibitions against social gathering, close contact and touching encourage withdrawal from society. That's unwise. In the end, you can say, calls for 'new ways of life' call for lower immunity, and therefore an earlier death." Dr. Aki Kobayashi "Daily circulating reports are full of bias and lies. Till now, news of positive test results don't indicate how many tests were actually carried out. In medical school we are taught 'tests positive', 'infected' and 'symptomatically ill' are different things, but few seem to discern this right now. There's an abundance of reporting of appalling quality. To develop a proper vaccine, including clinical trials, takes over ten years, but now they are saying it's been accomplished in half a year. Are we going to ignore that long-held safety standards have not been met? We cannot allow patients being injecting with vaccines whose safety has not been established beyond doubt. I for one won't be injecting it." Dr. Toshiko Masaki "In mass media you hear daily that virus clusters have been discovered, mentioning schools and medical facilities, but ignoring the harm such reporting causes is irresponsible. 'Cluster!' is a very problematic label. It's as if we were dealing with criminals. Hearing government and medical experts issue top-down commands is also very discomforting. We should strive for balanced daily life with our heart at peace, so such negativity cannot confuse or manipulate us." Dr. Tsunehiro Takeda "'Test positive' absolutely does not equal 'infection'." Dr. Takenori Funaki "There is not a single well-advised vaccine. All vaccines contain various harmful substances." Dr. Atsushi Nakamura "Not only is it pointless to ask healthy people to always wear a mask, it actually facilitates the spread of the virus and clearly poses risks to health." Dr. Satoshi Nishida "Vaccination is a cause of many and serious diseases. It must be wholly rejected." Dr. Makio Ishikawa "Behind the outbreak of the third wave of Covid-19 is the tricky cycle amplification method of PCR tests. Repeating the amplification cycle over 40 times, we're obtaining results of infection from people without any symptoms, or from those with the common cold. Given that humanity has no experience with the currently developed DNA/RNA vaccines, we cannot rule out adverse future reactions in immunity or genetic development. One should not be injecting these vaccines!" Dr. Toku Takahashi "It's common sense that viruses and bacteria attach to masks that are worn for long, and that this raises the risk of spreading the infection. Why are experts not stressing this? Masks can be a source of the virus spreading, and aggravate the symptoms. In the end, making masks mandatory in many countries has probably backfired, further spreading the disease." Dr. Naoki Takebayashi "The common cold exhibits so much variation that you cannot vaccinate against it. The whole industry looks fraudulent. We should face this problem now, not after adverse side effects are already clear." Dr. Ryokuhei Manda "The unreliability PCR tests is not acceptable. My humble warning: staying on the present course, we are steering the entire world towards hell." Dr. Kazuo Komine "Not facing the deception surrounding the spread of the virus, while enforcing isolation, depressing the economy, bankrupting business, increasing unemployment and suicide - is this not what we're doing? It's criminal." Dr. Hotaka Sugita "The novel corona virus Covid-19 does not merit classification as designated infectious disease. This label prescribes disproportionate measures to the young who are no more in danger than of the flu. Also, it overwhelms our sickbeds by justifying admission to hospital of people with only mild symptoms who recover in a few days. Further, it also puts severe strain on our medical workers and deprives treatment from the elderly and those with health conditions who are in need. It is destructive to our medical system." Dr. Masato Kamikubo (Ritsumeikan University, Policy science dept.) "For people without symptoms wearing a mask is inadvisable. It makes it harder to breathe and increases risk of pneumonia." Dr. Tomoyoshi Date "We don't need to reimpose self-isolation, social distancing, or prohibition of the three C's (closed spaces, crowds, and close contact). We must adapt and live with the virus." Dr. Yasuhiko Kamikubo "They say if you get vaccinated you experience the illness in a light form. But the basic principle of physiology behind vaccination is antigen-antibody reaction, which works like lock and key. The question is, does it protect or not, does it open the door or not? You can say developing illness means its vaccine has not worked, so talk of vaccination and light illness is meaningless. The only way to experience illness in a light form is to have your immune system working properly." Dr. Yoshimi Tanaka "Carrying out PCR tests is meaningless. For accurate diagnosis they're about as good as talking fantasy or the occult." Dr. Yushi Matsumoto "Masks, excessive sanitation and isolation work to lower immune strength and spread the disease." Dr. Dan Erickson "Oxygen deprivation causes permanent neurological damage and harm to various internal organs. We should absolutely stop forcing them on children and adolescents. Lack of oxygen inhibits brain development, and once the damage has been done it's irreversible." Dr. Margarite Griesz-Brisson "It has been proven asymptomatic virus transmission does not exist." Dr. Robert Kennedy "There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians. It's outrageous. This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public. "This is not Ebola. It's not SARS. It’s politics playing medicine and that's a very dangerous game. "Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever. "It's simply driving public hysteria so all testing should stop, unless you're presented to the hospital with some respiratory problem." Dr. Roger Hodkinson (Pathologist/virologist, Fmr. Chairman of a Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada Committee)

Ho doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.01.25.428137 This article is a preprint and has not been certified by peer review [what does this mean?]. Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic has ravaged the globe, and its causative agent, SARS-CoV-2, continues to rage. Prospects of ending this pandemic rest on the development of effective interventions. Single and combination monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics have received emergency use authorization1,2, with more in the pipeline3–6. Furthermore, multiple vaccine constructs have shown promise7, including two with ~95% protective efficacy against Covid-198,9. However, these interventions were directed toward the initial SARS-CoV-2 that emerged in 2019. Considerable viral evolution has occurred since, including variants with a D614G mutation10 that have become dominant. Viruses with this mutation alone do not appear to be antigenically distinct, however11. Recent emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1.1.7 in the UK12 and B.1.351 in South Africa13 is of concern because of their purported ease of transmission and extensive mutations in the spike protein. We now report that B.1.1.7 is refractory to neutralization by most mAbs to the N-terminal domain (NTD) of spike and relatively resistant to a number of mAbs to the receptor-binding domain (RBD). It is modestly more resistant to convalescent plasma (~3 fold) and vaccinee sera (~2 fold). Findings on B.1.351 are more worrisome in that this variant is not only refractory to neutralization by most NTD mAbs but also by multiple individual mAbs to the receptor-binding motif on RBD, largely due to an E484K mutation, although some mAb combinations retain activity. Moreover, B.1.351 is markedly more resistant to neutralization by convalescent plasma (~11-33 fold) and vaccinee sera (~6.5-8.6 fold). B.1.351 and emergent variants14,15 with similar spike mutations present new challenges for mAb therapy and threaten the protective efficacy of current vaccines.

Something finally gets evidence (I thought in the past it should be that way...) This study is made from one of the most reputable capacity AKA John P.A. Ioannidis. Assessing Mandatory Stay‐at‐Home and Business Closure Effects on the Spread of COVID‐19 Effects of non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) Results and conclusion: Source:https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/eci.13484 Now it seems we have measures that affects constitutions and there is even evidence that they are not helpful.
This article is very interesting (although not peer-reviewed yet). They made pseudo viruses with designed individual mutations which did appear to have a look how they individually contribute to changes of affinities. With each mutation at the target site you lose efficacy of the measure that uses the target site. For the vaccines: Additionally you lose efficacy during time due to declining titers / levels. And: It depends on viral load. It's finally a respiratory system related infection. It is very important to have drugs like ivermectin. It blocks a mechanism (for instance IMPα/β1 transport) which is independent from such 'surface mutations'...to render ivermectin useless you need a complete systemic change (actually it would trigger a new pandemic then). The more that have been vaccinated the more escape pressure on the virus. Vaccinations support survival of the mutations which are 'different' to the target that has been used that day when the vaccines have been designed.
