Wearing face masks have been a controversy since the covid-19 virus broke out last year in the United States. I have personally told everyone I know that the masks are ineffective. I have previous schooling studying biology and anatomy and physiology in college. I also have an associate degree as a medical assistant. Until now, I haven't really done any further research to back up my claim about this subject until now. Here are some of the things I have come across.
"Masks and respirators do not work. The main transmission path is long-residence-time aerosol particles (< 2.5 μm), which are too fine to be blocked, and the minimum-infective dose is smaller than one aerosol particle." Basically, the virus is way too tiny to be blocked without cutting off air to the nasal passages completely. It can and will go through anything as long as you're able to breath, even if it's uncomfortable and constricted when wearing a mask. The immune system is far more capable of taking care of a person effectively than a face mask can. Anyone who has studied pathology knows that we have been given a remarkable alarm known as the immune system by our Creator, which keep viruses and bacteria from getting in the body. The body also has white blood cells that attack and combat anything that happens to make its way in.
Masks are more harmful to someone than effective when it comes to protecting people from viruses. "Children aged 5 years and under should not be required to wear masks. This is based on the safety and overall interest of the child and the capacity to appropriately use a mask with minimal assistance. Cloth masks allow 97% of viruses to go through them. Medical masks allow 44% of viruses to go through them. N95 masks should not be worn more than 1 to 2 hrs so that migraines do not develop." Not only do they almost ineffectively keep viruses from coming in but they also cause hypoxia and hypercapnia. Hypoxia is low oxygen and hypercapnia is too much carbion dioxide in the blood. "A more recent study involving 159 healthcare workers aged 21 to 35 years of age found that 81% developed headaches from wearing a face mask." These headaches are caused by both of the conditions I mentioned above. Some people even pass out while others end up vomitting after wearing them for extended periods of time.
Not only that, but research has shown that masks can also make worsen a person's condition if they wear the mask when they are sick. "When a person is infected with a respiratory virus, they will expel some of the virus with each breath. If they are wearing a mask, especially an N95 mask or other tightly fitting mask, they will be constantly rebreathing the viruses, raising the concentration of the virus in the lungs and the nasal passages." Some of the virus gets expelled out of the mouth, but a lot of it gets breathed back in after exhaling. "In essence, your mask may very well put you at an increased risk of infections and if so, having a much worse outcome."
There is a lot of fear about getting sick with this virus and it is because the media on TV has ostracized this virus into being extremely dangerous, which it is not. Granted, there have been some deaths from covid-19 and my heart goes out to the people who have lost loved ones to this virus. People have been dying from various viruses since the beginning of human civilization. Viruses and bacteria were created before people and there are some good bacteria we have in and on our bodies that we can't live without, which can be killed by using too much hand sanitizer and washing your hands too often.
Covid-19 isn't anything to fear. The thing I fear is people not being educated about how a virus works. Don't believe everything you see and hear on TV because unfortunately, a vast amount of it is false and untrue. Do your own research. If this virus was anything to be feared, by this time, about one-third of the world population would already be wiped out like the Spanish Flu of 1918 and the Black Plague before that. There is no way to stop the spread of the virus once it's airborne. The best way to protect yourself is to buy things that boost your immune system like zinc, echinacea, colloidal silver, etc.
