It's not a real medical journal, it's not peer reviewed, or apparently reviewed at all since it's in broken English and has grammar mistakes in the abstract. It's a place for a lone kook to dump baseless speculation and pseudoscience and pretend to have a publication.

Wow! Always people who will dig as deep as they can to try and discredit truth. Read the authors name, clearly English isn't his native language. Did you read the article or just try to discredit it? If you are going to call it baseless speculation and pseudoscience, I need you to go through the article and highlight every point that isn't backed up with data. Until you are being quite hypocritical.

The English is fine for a submission. I'm an editor of two (real) journals. Most submissions are by non-native English speakers. Most are better than this guy, but the English is fixed in the editing process. I was just pointing out that is obviously hasn't been reviewed at all. Not even the abstract. This is a just guy throwing out a hypothesis, which is the expressed purpose of the publication. And this publication has a reputation for providing a forum for kooks.

It's fine, there probably should be a place for kooks to throw something at the wall and see if it sticks. Sometimes they're right. But dropping this like "boom! here's a truth-bomb! proof!" is just silly.

Sorry, you "need" a lot of things, but I'm not going to go through it and highlight things for you.

"I need you to go through..." Sheesh. What a pompous dick you are.

Haha, you sit there and call it pseudoscience and baseless speculation but don't provide and specifics or counters to back up your accusations!

Unfortunately that's how science works. All science started as a theory.....

And I'm the pompous prick.

Multiple studies have shown that masks are effective at curbing the spread of COVID 19. The paper in the OP heavily cherry picks studies to conclude that masks don't work and does not provide any real explanation as to why someone would be better off in a room with someone shedding COVID 19 virus than they would with a mask. You really just have to believe in magic and ignore science to believe that a mask offers no protection. And all the stuff about masks being harmful is genuinely dishonest. The author picks some studies that generally look at oxygen deprivation and concludes that the same results will happen if you wear a mask.

Masks don’t work... if you can breathe through the mask it will not be a barrier to the virus.

Non response here shows this guy has no spine. He can't defend his point, so he's just going to not respond like a coward.

Pull yourhead out of your ass idiot, ok?

You do what sense dimmy. it;s not all about you slugger, what about that doesnt your dumb ass get?

You wear a mask, only ....me me me all about me......don't.

When you refuse to wear a mask you are saying 1 of 4 things.

1.) I am too stupid to understand basic science

2.) I am too frail and weak to wear a mask.

3.) I have severe psychosis where I am more afraid of pretend things than real things.

4.) I'm a jerk.

100% of the time it's #4.

I see someone not wearing a mask I always think.....what an idiot!

Wearing a mask ain't no big deal at all, anyone making a big deal out of it has never dealth with a big deal.

But in reality when you wear a mask you are doing so because you worry about your own image and are willing to force others towards more negative health outcomes to feel virtuous. In reality you do not care about others, you care only about yourself. If you truly cared about others you would respect people and let them make their own decisions and not guilt them into unhealthy situations.

Long term mask wearing causes pathogens to be trapped in your mask. One could speculate from there that this close proximity would lead to greater risk of infection, not reduced, and more infections would lead to greater spread of all sorts of pathogens ==> more illness

Please understand there is plenty of science (including all of the articles cited in the OP's posted article) behind the explanation that masks are not only ineffective at mitigating the spread of viruses but also worsen health outcomes. People claiming the need for masks is based on science are really the ones basing their views on assumptions and little to zero actual directly related scientific studies. The religion of "science" says mask-up, the real science says NOPE, bad idea for a long list of reasons.

1000 nanometers equals 1 micron

average size of covid virus 0.10 nanometers

average size of a pore in a cloth mask 8 microns

GET THE PICTURE ??? YOU SEE SIZE DOES MATTER

size of oxygen molecule = 0.3 nanometers, 25,000 times smaller than the mask pore, so obviously all oxygen makes it through the mask and Sham 69 is lying when he says masks cause hypoxia.

and all viruses make it through, also most bacteria (e coli is 1 micron), so Lead Foil Hat IV is lying by promoting the pro-maskers claim that masks trap pathogens.

Thank you for clearing that up for us.

Now respiratory droplets have a wide range of sizes, but mostly larger than the mask pores, but that has nothing to do with anything. All the viruses are just flying around free and clear on their own. They immediately leave the droplets like 0.1 nm porpoises and fly unimpeded to the next victim. Except they don't because they don't exist, it's just a fiction by Bill Gates and Fauci and the tri-lesbian commission to cover up the 5G scandal and inject us with nanobots so they can take over the world.

This is pretty simple minded here. Masks cause very slight build ups of CO2, the reduced PP of O2 causes hypoxia; it is all about air flow and mixing not pore size. The study above claims the masks basically breed growth on the inner surfaces of masks, and there are more studies out there; it actually should be obvious to people. Bacteria are large and get stuck in mesh networks. If they are on the inner side, they will get inhaled and exhaled over and over until eventually they adhere to tissue. On the nanobots, NO, there are no useful nanobots. We are not living in some sort of 2011 sci-fi post-apocalypse TV series. But, but image if in 10 years form now half of the world's population suddenly begins developing autoimmune responses to fatty tissues.....Don't underestimate the plan, the time is coming.
