WND 10-29-20… “12 graphs show mask mandates don’t stop COVID”
Not
sure where I found this, but it “showed up” and I see it as another
excellent article that demonstrates the non-necessity for wearing masks
everywhere (and please note that I am not implying that CV-19 does not exist or is not potentially harmful).
“A dozen graphs charting the number of COVID-19 cases in countries and U.S. states confirm the conclusions of recent studies that mask mandates have no effect on the spread of the disease.
“Yinon Weiss, a tech entrepreneur and U.S. military veteran who holds a degree in bioengineering from the University of California at Berkeley, pointed out in an analysis for The Federalist that after the initial panic over predictions that millions of Americans would die, the [CDC] currently estimates a COVID-19 survival rate of 99.99 percent for people younger than 50.
“He cited a summary by the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University of six international studies that “showed that masks alone have no significant effect in interrupting the spread of ILI or influenza in the general population, nor in healthcare workers.”
“…a study of health-care workers in more than 1,600 hospitals showed that cloth masks only filtered out 3% of particles. An article in the New England Journal of Medicine stated “wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection” and that “the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.”
“…a recent study published in the British Medical Journal found the sweeping lockdowns lead to more COVID-19 deaths and a prolonging of the pandemic than if the government were to let herd immunity build up in young populations…
“Austria required masks about 10 days after its cases began to go down. Currently cases are four times higher than when Austria mandated masks.
…France… has a 1,000% higher rate of cases despite having one of the highest mask compliance levels in the world.
…Spain [cases were] were near zero when its mask mandate began and now are 1,500% higher.
…United Kingdom’s cases also are more than 1,500% higher [After three months of requiring masks].
…Belgium… [may have] highest rate of cases in the world [required masks shortly after the British did]
…Italy… one of the strictest mask laws in the world, but cases skyrocketed immediately after the mandate went into effect.“Weiss found similar results in Ireland, Portugal, Israel and many other countries.”
