It appears research papers pertaining to mask efficacy regarding covid are implementing the same circle jerk were used to seeing in MSM. While trying to find sound peer reviewed data on the actual size of SARS-Cov2 virus as it relates to the filtration capabilities of various facial coverings/masks etc. attention is drawn away from the size of the virus (.07-.09um or micron according to NIH.gov) and the “studies” or mainly, theories revolve mostly around water droplets or aerosols in the 5um to 100um range. These theories then cite other theories portraying as scientific fact but no sources can be found for conclusive evidence proving masks actually work.
Job has gone back to mandatory mask wearing while in county owned/leased businesses (issued by county administrator via memorandum) for visitors and workers alike. Facial buffs are acceptable as well as surgical masks, n95 etc.
I happen to work in a county owned building and am provided a bullshit surgical style mask that sits on the box it is not a medical device and only use to protect against common every day environmental pollutants (made in China) and the n95 is a UNIAIR SH9550 which on the box sts is only capable of filtering 95% of particles 1um and bigger (also made in China). Employer has given no direction for OSHA standards regarding time limits for wearing such a respirator/mask. So many laws are being broken and we dropped the state of emergency in august of last year.
I was looking on NIH website as well as pubMed but they all seem to be spewing out the same bullshit.
Can any anons point me in the direction of better sources of information please. I plan to present the findings at my next union meeting and need to present it in a way that normies and blindness sheep can follow but having a hard time finding a “smoking gun” per-se as the water droplet “theory” seems to easily counter my argument regardless if it has been proven or not. Also trying to find a work-around to the “even if it’s 1% effective, it’s better than no mask” bullshit excuse.
I was thinking about the harmfulness of continued use for that last argument I.E. increase viral and bacterial load of the wearer as well as increased CO2, decreased O2, decreased T-cell formation leading to weakened immune system leading to more employees being sick. But, I believe this is precisely what (((they))) are trying to accomplish with these mandates.
Maybe I should look into filing a claim on the county administrators bond as well as the commissioners.
