But are they wearing the homemade cloth masks? Those are the ones that are hard to breath thru. The paper ones, you wear for awhile and then throw away, not so with the cloth ones. But even with the paper ones, alot of people are not wearing them for extended periods, they just wear them to jog into the store, and then leave. Those masks usually get tossed on a passenger seat and are reused over and over again. so yeah, a trained professional is not going to wear theirs like that, but average people might.
The top of the seven masks is a cloth mask.
Yes, you do need to know how to use masks properly. That does not mean that properly worn masks do not work.
Your second link is about workers asking for N95s rather than surgical masks.
Your first link describes skin problems and increased breathing effort on exertion, not people getting life threatening health problems from wearing masks.
Yet another doctor says masks are harmful to children.
Bhattacharya is a professor of medicine at Stanford University. He’s a health economist by training.
...the evidence that children spread the disease even without a mask is that they’re much less efficient spreaders. It’s not like the the flu where children actually are efficient spreaders of the disease.
Studies have shown children who do wear masks often undermine their effectiveness by touching them and repeatedly taking them on and off. Because children don’t wear masks properly in many cases, the already-limited benefit is lowered even further, Bhattacharya said.
On the other hand, there are serious repercussions to child development when they and others around them are wearing masks.
“Children have developmental needs that require them to see other people’s faces. Learning to speak, for instance, requires seeing lips move. For slightly older children, they need to see people, the body, they learn body language, how to interact socially, by watching people. And when you ask them to wear a mask, you sort of cut that out. So you have harms on one side, and very little benefit on the other,” he added.

I fail to believe that children have no contact at all with people not wearing masks.

These lunatics have forced little kids to wear masks for over a year even though there is virtually no risk to children. There are not enough words in the English language to describe the selfishness of the mask cultists. They are happy to punish kids to protect themselves even when making toddlers wear masks doesn’t protect them one bit.
This is nothing new to anyone who has actually followed the science all along. Masks are nothing but theater making people feel safe. Everyone take off your bacteria trap and refuse to wear them. There is more evidence mask wearing is harming those people more than it helped with anything.
This study is even on the CDC and NIH's website. Why are those idiots not telling people this? Oh cause they would have to admit they have been wrong the entire time.
Healthcare workers have worn masks for extended periods during careers lasting years with no evidence any of them have experienced any adverse health effects.
I read that they did not wear them all day until now. ill have to find the quote.
"You may hear people saying that surgeons and nurses wear masks like this all day. Um, no. No they don’t. They’re trained in the proper use of masks, which is to wear them in the OR, then dispose of the mask when they leave that room. Are you aware that operating rooms are actually supplied extra oxygen, to compensate for the reduction in oxygen flow from mask wearing"
A better comeback would have been if that many masks let in enough oxygen, just what else is it letting in?
Yeah common cloth masks do not stop viruses. I think people forget how small a virus is.
