1/8 #Mask: No proof of the effectiveness against viruses
Strong Evidence of ineffectiveness exists!
Authors try to support the narrative with observational studies, but neglect numerous observational studies that prove the ineffectiveness of masks, see 5/8jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
2/8 And they also question the gold standard and the highest scientific evidence, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the top publication of the highest quality
the systematic Cochrane Review from 2023, which prove the ineffectiveness of #facemasks. cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.10…
3/8 The basis for the evaluation of any medical intervention is randomised clinical trials (RCTs).
This paper summarizes the current status of RCTs on #masks and viruses in its introduction: cell.com/heliyon/fullte…
4/8 In addition, an overview of the problems of the studies that propagate an antiviral #mask effect is given in this paper (Introduction): cell.com/heliyon/fullte…
6/8 #Mask #Facemask
The World's leading scientific breathing experts commented on masks in their brandnew publication.
Their verdict is scathing! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…
7/8 A recent top study finds published articles claiming #masks work are "worthless", containing no actual valid data to support conclusions on #facemask effectiveness agains viruses. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
8/8 WARNING:
This JAMA #mask study comes from the former Head of CDC & quotes some CDC studies of very low quality
Those who are not very familiar with clinical trials should not draw inappropriate conclusions from this subset of data regarding face masks!jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

3/5 And there is evidence of the toxic effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) rebreathing from #masks, especially for children, adolescents and pregnant women.
2/15
scientific evidence for face masks to limit viral
transmission is contradictory and controversial.
A survey of the literature indicates that there is no strong support to show that face masks significantly reduce infection or transmission.
3/15
Based on the current, relevant scientific literature, the theory that face masks during pandemic played a significant role in stemming viral transmission is questioned. Overwhelming evidence leads to conclude that mandating masks is ineffective and obsolete.
Part 1 (to be continued) 1/4 Meyerowitz-Katz was wrong in his assertion:
"It appears clear from evidence..that government interventions, even more restrictive ones..are beneficial...and unlikely to be causing harms..." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
2/4 "Truth forgives small mistakes and inaccuracies, lies do not forgive a single one."
2/6🧵
Regarding CO2, circumstantial evidence exists that mask use may be related to current observations of a significant rise of 28% to 33% in stillbirths worldwide and a reduced verbal, motor, and overall cognitive performance in scores in children born during the pandemic
3/6 🧵
A significant increase in CO2 body levels in mask wearers under various conditions has been demonstrated by many scientific intervention studies
