Using data from 35 countries and 602 million people, peer-reviewed study confirms previous research and cautions use of face masks “may have harmful unintended consequences.”
A new peer-reviewed study entitled: “Correlation Between Mask Compliance and COVID-19 Outcomes in Europe” has demonstrated that use of face masks, even widespread, did not correlate with better outcomes during the COVID epidemic, based on data from 35 European countries with populations of over one million people each, encompassing a total of 602 million people.
The study noted that the average proportion of mask usage in the period investigated (October 2020 until March 2021) was 60.9% ± 19.9%.
Governments and advisory bodies have recommended and often mandated the wearing of face masks in public spaces and in many areas mandates or recommendations remain in place, despite the fact, the study notes, that randomized controlled trials from prior to and during the epidemic have failed to show a benefit to the wearing of such masks with regard to COVID transmission.
“Positive correlation between mask usage and cases was not statistically significant,” the study also found, “while the correlation between mask usage and deaths was positive and significant (rho = 0.351, p = 0.039).” That is to say, more mask usage correlated with a higher death rate.
The study used a variety of statistical methods to study correlation but “none of these tests provided negative correlations between mask usage and cases/deaths … Surprisingly, weak positive correlations were observed when mask compliance was plotted against morbidity (cases/million) or mortality (deaths/million) in each country.”
The study also noted that the public may have gained the impression that masks could be helpful due to the fact that mandates were usually implemented after the first peak of COVID cases had passed. However, it became evident that masks were not in fact helpful later that same year, when widespread mask usage does not appear to have mitigated the severity of the COVID wave of winter 2020.
“Moreover,” the study concludes, “the moderate positive correlation between mask usage and deaths in Western Europe also suggests that the universal use of masks may have had harmful unintended consequences.”

You mean like, wearing a face Mask makes you re breathe your bodies wastes and as you do, you will starve your vital organs of the life giving oxygen that that they need to survive and thrive.
Once you get below 90 % saturation you start to die via your organs who have been denied O2.
But what would I know, It probably is misinformation, Category 5.
So please do not accept the past science and embrace the New. Wear two masks and a Plastic bag pulled tight over your head.
Getting a headache take a tablet
Getting Faint, sit down and rebreathe your wastes
Getting Blue, take an anti depression Tablet

Fools, listen to the science … or not, It is your funeral
Could be that there’s a higher percentage of voluntary mask wearers who are injected, because it’s the vax.
Duh. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. Your nose is the most effective air filter there is.
But not if you make technology your god.
You think that impairing your breathing might have some harmful consequences? What a novel concept.
Just posted that same image on the “23 million” article (before I saw yours).
A great parody. Too bad it is a parody and not Scott Adams telling it across news papers in the land!
Not to mention the microplastics you are inhaling.

nanoplastic particles and lead, yummy
Mostly made in Red China, just like poisonous baby food and toxic dry wall, what could go wrong?
I’m betting that if the “Heath Experts” told the mouth breathers to place a dry cleaning bag over their head and tape it tightly around their neck with duct tape, at least 15% of the population would do it.
Big meta study not needed to know that. Depending on one’s belief system, if people needed masks they would have evolved one or been given masks by their Creator. We already have the most wonderfully made filtration system allowing for both breathing and disease resistance. Critical thinking has been nearly extinguished by our educational systems and addiction to state/media programming.
Do you wear shoes?
Do you wear a mask?
They could have saved whatever it cost to carry out this study and asked any person with a brain cell.
