I thought about this, and I am working on some that have messages that are more visually subtle. "TRUMP2020" in a repeated pattern, that one actually has to look a little harder to see. Message is there but less likely to trigger violent leftist mouth breathers. I have similar patterns that are very explicit about what should be done to Inslee and Bill Gates, et al.
In the beginning he said that, but later he changed his opinion when he learned the virus was more airborne than first thought. That's what smart people do, they learn from things and are able to change their opinion. Even Dr Marc Siegel on Fox News said the same thing.
Apparently some of these masks, such as the N95 mask, can hamper breathing and lower oxygen intake if worn for long periods of time. Face masks can also worsen a person's health if they have a pre-existing lung condition.
This is not a scientific study. It is a biased, and politically motivated article, which is easily determined by not only the language used, but some of the misinformation stated in the article.
Add to that, the people who are “harmed” the most by the masks, the COPD and lung fibrosis patients, are also the quickest to die when they contract COVID-19. Quite the dilemma. Any idiot could tell you that these people should not be wearing masks for more than a short duration of time, unless they are wearing their nasal cannula underneath the mask. In fact, we find that patients using a nasal cannula under a mask have even higher oxygen saturation’s than people who wear the nasal cannula without a mask, because the mask traps the oxygen that the nasal cannula provides, allowing them to breath the oxygen, not only through their nose, but through their mouth as well.
Go ahead and believe TV people, since TV people tell you to wear masks.
Obey the TV people!
This is an advertisement for a device that adds oxygen to the mask, in effect, doing the same thing as the nasal cannula does for the COPD and pulmonary fibrosis patients when they wear a mask.
This article also completely contradicts, your the next article you posted, where it says....

We’ve all become familiar with the value of surgical face masks in both preventing infection or, in the case of an already infected person, in preventing further spread of the disease.

A cluster randomised trial of cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare workers
Your Hanoi study here was funded by the 3M Corporation. The largest producer of medical grade masks. Which might account for all the flaws cited in the study.
But lets pretend for a moment that this conflict doesn’t exist. It does not prove what you claim it proves. It does not prove that “the N95 medical type masks are the only masks that are significantly effective in stopping some virus spread.” It does not prove that “ The cloth masks that much of the public are using are not effective at all.”
If the study is to be believed, and that is a big “IF” considering the flaws of the study, then all it proves is that the cloth masks are not very effective in preventing the wearer from being infected. It does not prove, or even intend to prove, that It is not effective in preventing an infected wearer from transmitting the virus to others. But it should be obvious to anyone with even a modicum of common sense, that sneezing or coughing into the air, will contribute to more exposure than sneezing or coughing into a cloth mask.

If you believe this garbage then I have some words for you: MASK IT OR CASKET! Your choice!
The N95 DOES protect the healthy from getting sick, if worn properly. This is why doctors and nurses wear the N95 when working. N95 is called a respirator. It is not called a "face mask".
Non health care workers aren't asked to wear N95s because the N95s are supposed to be available for health care workers, due to a shortage. However, some people that aren't in health care choose to wear them if they are able to get one. They help protect the wearer from getting sick if fitted properly. When fitted properly, the N95 is not supposed to allow the wearer to breath air from around the sides of the mask. 95 means 95% of particles are filtered.
Below FDA link explains the difference between N95s and surgical masks.
I show this video and the Fauci/60 minutes video to everyone who mask shames people. What if you have asthma or bad allergies and can’t breathe with a cloth mask on?
The mask-shamers are annoying as hell. Bet a million bucks 6 months ago, these same mofos shaming non-mask wearers used to never wash their hands after using a number 2 in a public restroom, go shake hands with someone and then go eat food all day without washing their hands. Now because they read some CNN article, they are now experts at how viruses spread. F all the way off with that.
