When mask mandates were in place we had around 2,000 deaths.

12 months after they were removed we have over 17,000 deaths.

Masks didn't work - sure they didn't. Idiots.


You're an idiot that's why you believed they worked.



People wearing masks 2000 die, people not wearing masks 15,000 die - just do the math.

Nice to finally see policy made on evidence instead of emotions from the bedwetters.

No not so much.

Four that made a difference: distance, lock downs, Masks and vaccine.

But Vaccines were still in place for the 15,000 deaths so it wasn't that.

Yes indeed.

But I'm sure the "cohort" are too stupid to realise why it happened when it does.

There is no evidence masks work with covid.

The mask mandates were bullshit the only thing they achieved was giving the gullible a warm feeling our politicians were doing something.

Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses


30 January 2023



Objectives

To assess the effectiveness of physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of acute respiratory viruses.

Medical/surgical masks compared to no masks
Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza/SARS‐CoV‐2 compared to not wearing masks

N95/P2 respirators compared to medical/surgical masks
The use of a N95/P2 respirators compared to medical/surgical masks probably makes little or no difference for the objective and more precise outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza infection
Restricting pooling to healthcare workers made no difference to the overall findings.

masks didnt do anything

except poison the planet

disgraceful stuff

how dare they

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) study, in USA about 89 billion medical masks are anticipated to be required to respond the COVID-19 as this crisis is likely to persist for some time (Xiang et al., 2020). Further, the plastic innovation hub has identified that the domestic demand for the mask in UK is around 24.37 billion per year (Liebsch, 2020). As of February 2020, China has raised its daily production of medical masks to 14.8 million. The Japanese ministry of finance, trade, and industry recorded that more than 600 million face masks required per month of April 2020 (Fadare and Okoffo, 2020). The increasing use of mask significantly increases the production of mask and it consumes higher amount of energy. A study by Klemeš et al., 2020a,b shows that a mask production consumes about 10-30 Wh energy and releases 59 g CO2-eq greenhouse gas to the environment. Further, ever increasing uses of face mask also increase the landfill and medical waste. Most of these face mask wastes contains either polypropylene and/or polyethylene, polyurethane, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyacrylonitrile, which add plastic or microplastic pollution to the environment (Akber et al., 2020). This indicates that current ongoing pandemic, increases the environmental pollution and negative impact to human and animal health.

In the US where they acted like masks didn't do anything over a million died.

All the countries combined who took masks seriously lost way less people.

A lot of people (myself included) would like to know why masks are treated like poison in Australia?

Might have a lot to do with a population that don't seem to be able to think any further ahead than their next Bali holiday and governments and media that have sold the majority of the population on the idea that masks and other life saving measures are restrictions instead of protections.

And, let's not forget the big role business played in all this - for example, overseas tourists would be more likely to book a holiday in a country which doesn't have mandatory masks in all indoor settings, public transport and planes, etc.

(When my aunt and I go to Belmont Forum we usually make a point of sitting outside the Flight Centre near Aldi in our KN95 masks for a while so the staff and customers can see us - other people seem to do the same, I've noticed. Might have something to do with the Flight Centre CEO being one of the greedy business people who pushed to have the borders open and threatening to sue WA and other States if they hadn't).

Countries that were more vaccinated had a much better result than those that were less vaccinated.

This is evident form figures from the US where more vaccinated states did much better than less vaccinated states.
america did worse than the world average where it should have done better.

I put this down to some people putting a political aspect on covid when it is a medical issue.
Some people would oppose whatever the other 'side' recommended.
That mindset boggles my mind. It's beyond stupid.

It's like the gun owners mentality.

Just so. The Superior Man gets his teeth whitened and has cosmetic surgery. If his hair falls out, he gets a scalp reduction. He works on his tan. If he goes gray, he uses Hair For Men - whatever it takes to stay totally awesome.

Your chode just puts on a mask.

Deplorable.

"Unattractive people are MORE likely to keep wearing face masks in post-Covid era, study suggests"

Unless they have a time machine to visit this "post-Covid era" how would they know that?
