My friend, Tyson Gabriel, is an expert on masks. P100 respirators stop COVID, but only for the wearer. No public health official knows that.
Tyson Gabriel is the smartest guy I know when it comes to masks. He did an excellent video series on showing that masks don’t work which you can watch here:
I spoke to him today and here are the key things you should know about masks.
- Cloth and surgical masks do absolutely nothing and N95 masks aren’t much better than that. They are basically worse than no mask since they lower your oxygen levels and can make you more likely to get infected with a respiratory virus. You can see the effectiveness against COVID here in this graph below which is from the highly acclaimed Bangladesh randomized trial done by Stanford and Yale. This is for purple cloth masks. As you can see, there is no difference. None. Nada. See Masks don’t work for more info on the two mask randomized trials.
- If you really want serious protection, get yourself a 3M 6000 or 7000 series half-face mask. The 6000 is the older model and is heavier duty. The 7000 is newer and a lot more comfortable. There are three sizes: small (7501), medium (7502), and large (7503). Generally, you’d get the large size if you are 6 feet tall or over. Here’s the sizing chart:
- The mask is sold without a filter. You’ll need a 3M brand P100 particulate filter, such as 3M 2091 to protect against COVID. For heavy-duty use, the 7093 filters are larger and more expensive, but more durable and last longer.
- These masks make it easy to both inhale and exhale. They will truly protect you from the virus and they are much easier to breathe through than a cloth or surgical mask (they are designed to allow you to maintain suitable oxygen levels).These are serious products.
- The airlines don’t allow these masks to be used on planes because they protect you, but they don’t protect other passengers since they aren’t filtered for the exhaust. If they filtered the exhaust, your oxygen levels would fall to unsafe levels. In short, the airlines will not let you protect yourself with legit protection. It’s illegal. They want to make sure we don’t stop the spread of the virus.
- So on an airplane, you must wear a cloth or surgical mask that doesn’t protect you or anyone else. It is the filtration systems on airplanes that are responsible for the safety record of flights (people sitting right next to an infected person could still be infected). The FAA has never figured this out. They probably never will. They will likely require these useless masks for decades. In short, the FAA is brain dead. If they followed the science, they would allow people to wear respirators, but only if they wanted to. These interventions should not be forced.
In short, the FAA is brain dead. If they followed the science, they would allow people to wear respirators, but only if they wanted to. These interventions should not be forced.
If you want a mask to protect you in other situations (or to protect grandma), the 3M respirators are the way to go.
If schools were actually serious about protecting students
If a school seriously wanted to protect students from COVID or any other virus using masks (which is not the best way), they’d require all students to wear a respirator, e.g., the 3M 7502 respirators with the 2091 filters. And boy, our classrooms would look really silly since nobody would be able to talk to each other. If you remove the mask to speak or eat, it’s all over; the protection goes out the window. But our kids would be safe!
Here’s what all the kids would look like:
The point is this: if you want to wear a respirator, you should be free to wear one. And if you don’t want to wear one, you should never be forced to wear one. Never.
There is no societal reason for forcing me to wear a mask to protect others. It simply doesn’t work that way. A “safe” mask (one that allows sufficient oxygen to function properly and doesn’t increase the likelihood of a respiratory infection) ends up only protecting the wearer, never the public (since the exhaust must be unfiltered).
So mask mandates are completely nonsensical. Anyone who wants protection can put on a mask. Problem solved.
There are over 3,243 public health officers. None of them have figured out that P100 mask protect people.
If you want clear proof of how totally inept the public health officers in America are, you are reading the right article. I don’t know of a single public health official that realizes that the only way to stop COVID with a mask is using a P100 respirator.
Instead, they all mandate toy masks (cloth, surgical, and N95) that provide no protection from viruses.
Our public health system is truly fu***ed up, there is no other way to put it.
The blind (the CDC) are leading the sheep (public health officers).
This isn’t just in the US. I don’t think they’ve figured this out in any country.
How I would handle the pandemic
If you were to ask me for my advice (which nobody is going to do), it would be very simple:
- End all mandates, lockdowns, and stop all vaccines immediately. Only if there is safe, sterilizing vaccine that has been tested for over 2 years, and has efficacy even after the virus mutates, then that could be considered to be used.
- End the liability protection for all vaccines now. Why should vaccines be a “protected species”? There is no basis in science for this.
- No one should ever be coerced into taking an injection or doing anything else to their body in order to keep their job, avoid taxes, or walk into a business.
- If you are worried about getting COVID, buy a respirator and have a nice day. Nobody should be forced to use interventions that protect themselves from death.
- If you get COVID, verify with a rapid antigen test, then use a proven early treatment protocol. Problem solved.
- Stop censoring doctors. Period. If you take away a doctor’s license, it should be based on patient outcomes, not what they say on social media.
- Call a halt to the “emergency.” There never was an emergency. We’ve known about effective early treatments since March 2020. It was incompetence at the CDC, FDA, NIH that caused the problem.
- Get rid of the corruption at the FDA, CDC, and NIH. That would be a good start. Tony Fauci, John Su, Tom Shimabukuro, Steven Anderson, Cliff Lane should be the first to be shown the door. Anyone who couldn’t find the safety signals in the VAERS system should go.
The whole pandemic response has been absolutely ridiculous and indefensible.
And anyone prominent on the pro-vax, pro-mask side who wants to debate me, you know where to find me.

The crap people are wearing doesn’t work, no further explanation needed.
I’ve had this problem with my new job. Forced mask wearing, so I got one infused with silver to prevent staph and strep from growing on it, so I don’t get an infection on my face or in my sinuses like other people that I know have.
Along comes an obese corporate Karen who tells me I can’t wear that without a doctor’s permission (I’m a bit asthmatic with allergies btw). SHE doesn’t wear the standard blue disposable, due to her skin condition apparently she got a ‘doctor’s note’. So now I’m adding to the BILLION already floating in the ocean that will take 450 years to biodegrade. Emailed America’s frontline doctors who were useless, I doubt my doc is going to help either.
I know people must do what’s necessary to make ends meet, but I’ve concluded that I will most likely never work for anyone again. I’ll figure out a way to generate income…or I’ll do without.
That obese corporate Karen…I would have gone ape-shit crazy on her ass.
I followed the route of not working for anyone the last 8 years, and I am better off than I have ever been. There is always a way. Many blessings on your endeavor.
Thanks, John. It really is a freer way of living, IMO. My regret is that I wish I had learned more useful skills. But…never too late to learn.
Firearms and fishing poles.
And if you learn to make a good corn whiskey, you’ll be WAY ahead of the game!!!
I’ll get right on that. Thanks for the tip.
Good mushrooms are a wonderful food source and super brain food.
Years of common-sense prepping. Getting debt free is the biggest, second is being healthy. My wife was a big worrier. I was, we’ll get by fine, and we did more than get by fine. Personal responsibility goes a long way, and remember to do what you love, and love what you do.
Old westerns is about all I watch these days. National Geographic and discovery got way to Commie/woke for me.
get a dr note, tell the dr that idiocy, inhaling microplastic and lack of O2 makes you dizzy and hyper aggressive.
i did.
Still believes there’s a test for covid, and probably that there was a pandemic.
Not sure about a thing called covid either, especially since pneumonia and the flu went away.
Yep, his premise negates the need for me to read any more of his articles in the future. It really gets exhausting reading authors like this.
I saw some headlines that dr. McCullough is being called out on the testing question. He has also been called out for recommending monoclonal antibody treatment (experimental).
I think he may be legit but still stuck in old world somewhat.
However I get tired of it too, for whatever reason they do it. Most believe there was a pandemic even with a less than 1% death rate.
He may be legit, but I’ve pretty much stopped listening to everybody. I don’t want half-truths. I want the full truth and the only place I know where to find that is my inner voice.
My inner voice is still full of shit half the time.
I go to the Word of God when I want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
God can speak to us through our inner voice. I know this to be true, because I was raised to be an atheist. It didn’t stick.
There is NO question but that God speaks to us through our inner voice.
Unfortunately, something else is able to do that as well.
Thus my remark about being full of shit half the time when talking to myself.
Learning to distinguish between the two is a major lesson mankind has to learn in this world. But tragically, the vast majority of mankind is utterly oblivious to this phenomenon or misunderstands it entirely.
You have a very good understanding, and of course we all have a lot to learn.
We all have that problem. The second voice is ego. The real inner voice has no ego is how you separate them.
“…The real inner voice has no ego is how you separate them…”
Ego means “I” and a key to this phenomenon is that our “I” is a tangled mess of light and darkness, day and night.
The separation of these two inner constituents of our being is the crowning achievement of mankind in this world, if it is done correctly and done in the name of our Lord. This is to do what we see God doing in Genesis chapter one. This is the first order of work when tending the garden within.
Our natural state is one of mingled-seed within: we are composed of both mankind, made in the image of God; and beastkind, emergent in the self-cannibalistic image of self-worshiping and self-serving rebellious animals. We are not one. Mankind abides in con-fusion. Some of us have even ceased to be mankind entirely and have become pure beastkind.
But God is ONE. Even the blood of Christ was not mingled within Him but remained unmixed within His veins and poured forth unmixed when His body was broken. He was the walking embodiment of the work of separation God performed in the Bible’s opening chapter.
The man who is able to understand this work and to see to it habitually and consistently, has made his calling and election sure. He has seen to his own salvation in fear (reverence) and trembling. This man has found the narrow gate.
I make no claim as to being such a man. My only valid claim is that I want to be such a man and have begun the process of learning how to become that man.
Well said. Working at it for 40 years plus, not counting my childhood.
RR – I see three voices at play. God’s, mine and the enemy of my soul.
Wonderful. The voice speaks to all who listen, in the whisper of the wind and the roar of the sea. The second time I met my wife to be, the inner voice told me that’s your wife. I was, really, say that again. We were married within 9 months. When you are living in God’s grace, the inner voice is very clear.
We used to have those respirators for our employees for them to use in dusty areas. OSHA forced us to remove them. To keep them we would have to keep records of respirator physicals, signed by a doctor, for every employee, conducted annually.
EXACTLY!
They are not trivial pieces of equipment that can be freely shared.
And no facial hair.
OSHA is about rules and written procedures, not about worker safety. the more rules and written procedures you have, the more useless enforcers you have to employ.
^^ This ^^
If you ever have to talk to OSHA, slip in the word “promulgate” a few times. They’ll get a woody.
Excellent summary.
Haggard said it best, “Stop The World and Let Me Off…”
Wearing masks to prevent respiratory disease was always indefensible idiocy. This article is insulting because it legitimizes the indefensible.
Also, it is only the cold and flu. Stop with the madness.
Here’s a nice article for you. Masks are worse than you can imagine. Brother-in-law passed out playing volleyball in his mask and had several stitches and a hip injury. Sports injuries, passing out, are common since people started masking.
Anyone can sense something like oxygen deprivation is going on within minutes of wearing a mask, and I personally always want to cough within minutes also (maybe because my mask is not a fresh one, or ??). Not normal and forget doing anything strenuous wearing one. My glasses fog up and I can’t see.
I had a real problem with masks, mostly at the gym or grocery shopping. You had to wear some sort of mask or you wouldn’t get in the door. I made an aluminum piece to go over the bridge of my nose, and rolled it into the edge of a bandana triangle. It held the bandana way off from my breather holes. Completely open at the chin. Worked great.
Now I just go naked faced, even though masks are back in fashion here. Some Karen’s have given me the hairy eyeball, but nobody says anything.
9. Stop paying hospitals for “Covid” deaths.
They would be out of business in no time.
I have several full and half face p100 respirators for painting and welding fumes, never crossed my mind to put one on for the RONA. It’s all BS. Back in March 2020 I bought about 100 Moldex and 3M N95. Selling them on ebay at auction for $20-50 each, I paid .50 each for them. Ebay kept taking down my listing for price gouging till I changed it to “.GOV Mind Control Devices”. Included two pair nitrile gloves and a copy of The Bill of Rights, free shipping too! LOL.
Awesome. Then the commies at Ebay were all in. LOL.
I wear a dust mask when I am doing demo or cleaning out the henhouse. I cannot think of any other reason to wear on unless I was to visit someone in an ICU.
It is amazing that there is virtually zero discussion of the effects on people wearing them as a full time prophylactic, both physically (bacteria build-up/reduction in fresh air intake) or psychologically.
The “Part 5” of the videos above discusses the “dirty details” and I think it addresses how filthy these masks have become… hanging out in our unused ashtrays or console.
Quite worth your time to view at least a minute or two of all six, I think.
What happened to all of those sue happy Americans? There’s enough evidence of the mask thing.
I would think that was a lie too but I talked to some in the past (people seeing for profit). More likely it’s cowardly lawyers.
“More likely it’s cowardly lawyers.”
Bingo. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Finally, someone in this big wide world of experts has gotten the answer to the Covid test question right! Yes, it’s the P100. (I know, it’s not right for everyone just like it’s not for everyone who paints. Some guys will go home with their nostrils filled with paint and think nothing of it. I think they’re retards but I would die, or at least skip a meal, for their right to be retarded.)
Even though this is the most important article published since the news of Covid was broken as it tells readers the cure for the Covid problem, there’s just one thing I would add: For those of us that have no use for the CCP or Wall Street, the p100 that I found after substantial research is made by Klein Tools and available online. Their mask is sleeker looking than 3M’s (you look like an attractive bug), very light, NOT made in China and Klein Tools is a privately held corp, not Wall Street.
