CDC Begins Recommending Wearing Two Masks

Via ZeroHedge

We already know based on objective, impartial, empirical data, that there is effectively no difference in covid case counts/hospitalizations/deaths in states that mandate masks and business restrictions (such as North Dakota) vs states which do not (such as its southern neighbor).

So, perhaps while looking at this graphic, the CDC had a brilliant idea: ok, one mask does not work, but what about… two masks!

That’s right: starting Wednesday, the CDC (aka the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) began recommending that Americans wear two masks, or specifically a cloth mask over a medical mask to slow the spread of Covid-19.

The guidance followed the release of an agency study (because “scientists”) that found double masking can boost protection from aerosolized particles.

Whereas government officials previously said the CDC was waiting to gather evidence on double masking, they now appear to have a greenlight to mandate double-masking. The new study, part of the agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, also examined the efficacy of modifications made to improve the fit of a medical mask. Either double masking or tightening a mask’s fit reduced exposure to aerosols that could be infectious by about 95%, the research concluded.

“These experiments highlight the importance of good fit to maximize mask performance,” the authors wrote.

“There are multiple simple ways to achieve better fit of masks to more effectively slow the spread of Covid-19.”

The findings came from experiments done by the agency last month, which tested how double masking and changes to improve mask fit worked amid coughing, which the researchers simulated. Knotting the loops of a surgical mask and tucking in extra fabric near the face was found to reduce exposure, as was wearing a cloth mask over a surgical mask.

As a result, the CDC’s new guidance now recommends that Americans should ensure that masks fit tightly on their face and have layers, both of which improve protection.  There are several routes to do that, including wearing a disposable mask beneath a cloth mask or choosing a mask with multiple layers of fabric, according to the recommendation.

That said, double-masking with two disposable masks, or with a KN95, isn’t recommended.

“The bottom line is this: Masks work and they work best when they have a good fit and are worn correctly,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said at a White House briefing on Wednesday.

And while the CDC may argue that “the bottom line” is whatever it wants it to be, at least until it changes its mind in a month to suit some political interest du jour, the reality is that wearing just one mask has shown no tangible improvement on infection numbers.

In fact, none other than Dr Anthony Fauci said one week ago that “there’s no data that indicates that [double masking] is going to make a difference.”

But that was science in January. We now have February science. As a result, it’s time to reset the count and start with two…. then three masks…. then four…. until eventually we all will look like this…

… at least for a few minutes before everyone dies from asphyxiation.

Yet no one is talking about the recent study showing masking actually can increase the risk of lung cancer.

Study: Long-Term Mask Use May Contribute To Advanced Stage Lung Cancer


I guess that doesn’t matter.
This whole thing is a farce now.
Where are the biohazard bins that should be present everywhere to dispose of masks? In a hospital or medical office setting, ANYTHING THAT COMES IN CONTACT WITH BODILY SECRECTIONS IS CONSIDERED BIO HAZARD and thus must be disposed of in appropriately marked biohazard containers.
Nope. Used masks are blowing hither and yon, on the beach, the sidewalk, Walmart parking lots everywhere.
There is literally no way to effectively get anyone to wear any face covering the correct way to protect anyone from anything other than maybe the spittle flying out of an enraged Karen’s face.
Everyone is tired, so damn tired, of this.
All it would take is enough people to say “NO! We are not doing this anymore!” and voila! it would be over.
But now masking is on TV. Masking is in commercials. Designer masks are out there.
Two shitty, dirty masks are not better than one. It is just more crap to breathe in.
Land of the stupid.

That mask is giving you lung cancer…

From Guy Crittenden, who, for 25 years, edited the trade journal HazMat Management. (This was posted on Facebook.)

THAT MASK IS GIVING YOU LUNG CANCER

I happen to know a thing or two about masks and safety. Why? Because for 25 years I was the editor of an award-winning trade magazine called HazMat Management that covered such topics as pollution prevention and compliance with health & safety laws. We routinely published articles on masks, gloves, respirators and other forms of personal protective equipment (PPE). Now let me tell you a few things about that mask you’re wearing. And please note that what I’m about to share was also stated in the most recent edition of Del Bigtree’s program The Highwire when two OSHA mask experts spoke to the fact that the kinds of masks people are wearing were never (never!) designed to be worn for long periods and doing so is very harmful.

The blue typical mask depicted in the photograph contain Teflon and other chemicals. A Facebook friend reminds us: 1. Masks are “sterilized” with Ethylene Oxide — a known carcinogen. Many teachers in various school boards have been experiencing significant symptoms as a direct result of the effects of this chemical. 2. The masks contain (not sprayed with) PTFE which makes up Teflon along with other chemicals. I found and have posted the US patent to allow manufacturers to use PTFE as a filter in commercial masks… “breathing these for extended periods can lead to lung cancer.”

Don’t agree? Argue with the experts at OSHA, which is the main US agency, i.e., its Occupational Health & Safety Agency. These masks are meant to be worn only for short periods, like say if you’re sanding a table for an hour and don’t want to inhale sawdust. They don’t do anything whatsoever to stop the spread of any virus, and the emerging science of virology now understands that viruses aren’t even passed person to person. I know that sounds incredible, but it’s the case that the virus is in the air, you breath it in, there’s no way to prevent that short of living in an oxygen tent, and if you have a strong immune system you’ll be fine, and if you have a weak immune system you may have to deal with the effects of your immune system working to restore balance within your metabolism.

So let’s say you don’t wear the blue packaged masks, and instead wear a homemade cloth mask — the kind people wear over and over and hang on their rearview mirror and so on. Those masks are completely useless against a virus, and are also very dangerous. OSHA would never condone a person wearing a mask of this kind for anything more than the shortest time. Re-breathing your own viral debris is dangerous to health, and the oxygen deprivation children suffer wearing such masks all day will certainly cause brain damage. I’m not making this up. Again, you might say, well, Guy, you’re not a doctor. True, but I did edit that magazine for 25 years. That’s a long time and many articles on masks and PPE. I’ve attended numerous OH&S conferences and listened to experts discussing these matters.

You may hear people saying that surgeons and nurses wear masks like this all day. Um, no. No they don’t. They’re trained in the proper use of masks, which is to wear them in the OR, then dispose of the mask when they leave that room. Are you aware that operating rooms are actually supplied extra oxygen, to compensate for the reduction in oxygen flow from mask wearing? To my mind, it’s criminal (not hyperbole) to force children to wear masks all day. Setting aside the very real psychological effects, we’re going to have a generation of brain damaged children. Ever heard the expression, “Not enough oxygen at birth?” That’s a joke at the expense of a mentally challenged person, but that’s literally what we’re doing. And we’re told it’s to “keep us safe”! We’re told this by doctors who actually don’t know about PPE and laypeople who have no clue.

So, you can choose to believe me or not, but I was the editor for a quarter century of a magazine that had a strong occupational health and safety mandate, and I can tell you that the mask wearing currently mandated by governments and private businesses offers no health benefit whatsoever, in no way protects you or anyone else from any virus, and actually does you damage beyond wearing it for a few minutes.Got that? Good. Now please share this message and get the conversation going with parents, who must end this masking of children immediately. This is a very serious matter. And related to that, let me just state this doesn’t end for me when the lockdown ends or the masking ends. No, this ends for me when every politician and bureaucrat who inflicted this travesty, this crime against humanity, on the population of Canada (and other affected countries) is in the dock, and faces their misdeeds in a court of law.

And as for those of you who have put masks on young children, I will have a long memory on that score. A very long memory.

END NOTE: The CDC and WHO have acknowledged that asymptomatic people do not spread the virus, so the case for masks for such people is moot in the first place.

Is Your Mask Giving You Lung Cancer?

A lot of people better start pulling their heads out of their propagandized, brainwashed, dumbed down asses and their faces out of their Teflon Ethylene Oxide masks, or being a compliant, afraid of confrontation, lemming…is going to get real expensive.

If you are referring to Ethylene Oxide, a gas that is used as a sterilant for many sterile items, it outgasses nearly immediately after the sterilization process is complete. We used to use this gas to sterilize medical equipment coming back from hospitals before we repaired/refurbished it. I can guarantee that NOBODY is wasting any money sterilizing any of the masks anyone is wearing before shipping them out. There is NO CLAIM to sterility and the process is quite expensive. Now, I don’t doubt that containing and rebreathing all the bacterial and viral particles along with all the other waste the body expels on a daily basis, will destroy the lungs and cause serious issues (including potentially exacerbating cancer), but nobody is wasting ETOH (the abbreviation of ethylene oxide) on these cheap disposable masks everyone is wearing. And even if they were, the sterilization company evacuates their sterilization chambers with massive amounts of air and nitrogen to clear out any ETOH before their employees even go in to removed the product.

Yeah the CDC can shove their mask BS straight up their A**. That Quack Fauci wrote a fricken paper on how. Most people who died during the Spanish Flu actual pandemic, died from bacterial pneumonia not the flu. FROM MASK WEARING! These bastards should be rounded up and buried under a jail. This has nothing to do with any damned viruses, this is about Control and Demoralization. Period end of story and that lying bastards will not stop until they are stopped! Get it yet? Stop playing along and make it very well known to anybody with the power to stop this nonsense that you’re done playing along and want the liars prosecuted! And if the only people with power to intervene are people on board with the scam, make it glaringly clear that you know the truth and will not play their game anymore! This only stops when EVERYBODY stops playing the game!

I’m trying to find out where I can get some mesh fabric to make a mask out of. It’s been about 0 degrees F lately, so exercising outside hasn’t been feasible. The Y requires a mask but they don’t say what kind of mask. I’m thinking something like a basketball net.

I do wonder if or when the average American will ever figure out that they are being
totally and completely punked by their own government and the CDC (probably not).

The use of masks to prevent infection began over a century ago in surgical operating
theaters with the idea of covering the mouth and nose of the surgeon and attendants
(nurses & other docs) so as to avoid transfer of any germs from them to the open wound
area of the patient.

The Orr study 40 years ago (1981) pretty much disabused this notion, and showed that
wearing masks or not made no difference whatsoever in outcomes.

In point of fact, it showed that those surgeries in which NO masks were worn had
significantly fewer infections:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2493952/pdf/annrcse01509-0009.pdf

In that case they were worrying about preventing huge (relatively) bacteria from
entering the wound, and wearing masks made no difference.

But the current worry is about a virus, which is something that is measured in
fractions of a micron, that could easily pass through the interstices of virtually
ANY mask.

This mask wearing is purely psychological and is designed to appease the
weak-minded morans among us, and to reassure them that being in the Cult of
Hypochondria is a good thing.

And not to in any way justify this unbelievable steaming pile of BULLSHIT, but if it was THAT IMPORTANT, shouldn’t “studies” have been done back A FUCKING YEAR AGO before they started demanding masking (by the way, ANY MASK WILL DO, etc.). Just shows how much total and complete bullshit this whole fucking thing is. First Fauci with no mask wearing, then anything will work, then suddenly, when nothing is working, two, or three, or four…..

In a truly remarkable EUREKA! moment a leading scientist at the CDC reasoned thusly — “Since we’re already blowing smoke up people’s asses, how about we mandate they breathe through their asses??”

Anthony Fraudchi immediately launched Operation Fart Speed, and promised to have ATM (Ass To Mouth) tubes available for every American in six weeks.

Don’t poo-poo the idea.

The Fitzroy river turtle actually breathes through its ass. Not kidding, link below. It lives in the Fitzroy River Basin in ….. Australia.

Anyone who was in the service is used to the 670-1 grooming standards for men dictating shaving requirements. If anyone recalls their NBC training, proper M17 mask fit and seal was not only difficult, it was damned near impossible – even if you did shave properly immediately prior to putting one on.
A bad seal could literally mean “game over” with inhaled contaminants as the mask never had a positive over-pressure system to deter ingress of particulates in case of a leak or hole. Even in training you were taught a leak or hole in a truly contaminated environment meant you were incapacitated or dead. Looking back now this whole gaslight phenomenon of COVID masking is simply ludicrous and hopelessly insane because a cold virus isn’t on par with nerve gas.

As a bearded one, ever since the Vietnam era, I find it kind of refreshing after exposure to unknown people to pour half a handful of alcohol based mouth wash into a cupped hand and swish it over my unkempt and hairy mouth area, including the ‘stache. Should there be any of those little china bugs lodged on the surface or in the mouth/nose they will be goners as the alcohol fumes get ingested all the way down into the lungs. Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest.
