No one has responded to a single one of the dozen studies I posted. I can't say I'm surprised, people are invested in their placebo mask saving them and being forced to confront the fact that it won't do anything is too much for people being driven insane by media hype.Nothing unconstitutional about ordering masks be worn during a pandemic.
The error is your post has already been pointed out.
The notion that science has determined that masks are going to save us from Chinese Coronavirus (or any other disease) is utter tosh. Anyone telling you science is settled on any issue should raise a red flag. On masks, science isn't close to settled.
The British Journal of Medicine says cloth masks are 97% useless. A cluster randomised trial of cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare workers
A study of the more serious 1918 flu pandemic showed masks useless. The American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) from the American Public Health Association (APHA) publications
Another study shows cloth masks useless compared to surgical masks. A cluster randomised trial of cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare workers
Other studies show cloth masks useless compared to surgical masks, even the latter are questionable. They include:

Simple Respiratory Protection—Evaluation of the Filtration Performance of Cloth Masks and Common Fabric Materials Against 20–1000 nm Size Particles
Masks are associated with oxygen deprivation and increased rates of infection according to these studies:
[Effect of a surgical mask on six minute walking distance] - PubMed
"Exercise with facemask; Are we handling a devil's sword?" - A physiological hypothesis - PubMed
Healthcare personnel exposure in an emergency department during influenza season - PubMed
The physiological impact of wearing an N95 mask during hemodialysis as a precaution against SARS in patients with end-stage renal disease - PubMed
Respiratory consequences of N95-type Mask usage in pregnant healthcare workers-a controlled clinical study - PubMed
A 2015 British study on surgical masks revealed masks don't really protect patient or surgeon very much. And that's in sterile settings. Unmasking the surgeons: the evidence base behind the use of facemasks in surgery
Finally, one New England Journal of Medicine editorial acknowledged the uselessness of masks but demanded universal masking nonetheless less for its placebo effect. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372
There is plenty of evidence out there that masks and mask mandates aren't working and in fact are causing harm. They're a placebo to make you think you're protected and to make politicians look like they're doing something when they're in reality doing nothing.
Do your own research.
Chinese Coronavirus
Must people be racist and call it that?
That isn't racist, we've been calling diseases from their orgins for decades. Spanish flu, German measels, West Nile virus, Ebola, Sars etc.
Dr. Russell Blaylock
The question is, what is the purpose, and why the desire to refer to it as the China Virus?German measels aren't the measels people typically think of. It's also called rubella.
I'm not buying the racist argument. The virus originated in China, it's no different than a dozen other diseases that have been identified by their original place of discovery. This isn't something old done centuries ago, Ebola, Sars and West Nile virus are relatively new. There isn't a racist hiding in every refrigerator.
Exhalation is not merely water vapor, it holds toxins the body gets rid of through the lungs. With masks these are partially rebreathed. Also mask strain the diaphragm promote claustrophobia. All of this is immunosuppressive. Masks in my view are useful for preventing blasts from coughing and sneezing, and from normal exhalation when people are close to each other. Otherwise, useless and even harmful.
Wow the Center For Disease Control's studies are garbage to you! Like I said, it's pointless to argue.Do you mean this guy?
The quack behind the MSG scare is still stoking fear for profit
Yeah, won't believe a word out of his mouth!
As for the rest of your post, it's downright garbage, because its misleading!

Bye!
Well, I gotta say this one last thing. Germs and viruses haven't changed in their responses to masks or "antiseptics" in the last month, or at any time. The CDC studies stand for this year, last year and next year and into the future in general. But if you don't agree, oh well. Wear your mask and cover everything with the chemicals the CDC says are useless. Up to you.Bye!

Why don’t you stay home if you’re scared of a virus?
It makes sense that someone would stay home if they are afraid of a virus or of people transmitting a virus to them.In other words, this is 'murica, how dare you infringe on my perceived rights when it comes to a pandemic!
It makes sense that someone would stay home if they are afraid of a virus or of people transmitting a virus to them.
One of your studies say that it is 3% effective.....What is the harm in doing something that gives you an extra 3% chance of saving your life?And I'm telling you study after study after study tells us masks are useless. They're a placebo and nothing more. You aren't protected if you or I wear a mask.
