The recommendations by the CDC and the WHO are not based on any studies of this virus and have never been used to contain any other virus pandemic or epidemic in history. When a person has TB we have them wear a mask, not the entire community of non-infected. Non-infected people need not wear a mask. It is also instructive to know that until recently, the CDC did not recommend wearing a face mask or covering of any kind, unless a person was known to be infected, that is, until recently. And, as you have seen, there is no conclusive evidence of their efficiency in controlling flu virus transmission. Any recommendations, therefore, have to be based on studies of influenza virus transmission. Russell Blaylock, MDĪs for the scientific support for the use of face mask, a recent careful examination of the literature, in which 17 of the best studies were analyzed, concluded that, “ None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.” 1 Keep in mind, no studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on transmission of the COVID-19 virus. There is growing evidence that the treatment protocol issued to treating doctors by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mainly intubation and use of a ventilator (respirator), may have contributed significantly to the high death rate in these select individuals.īy wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain. Only a very small number of people are at risk of a potentially serious outcome from the infection-mainly those with underlying serious medical conditions in conjunction with advanced age and frailty, those with immune compromising conditions and nursing home patients near the end of their lives. This is somewhat of an unusual virus in that for the vast majority of people infected by the virus, one experiences either no illness (asymptomatic) or very little sickness. Little has presented itself after intense study of this virus and its behavior to change this perception. When this pandemic began and we knew little about the virus itself or its epidemiologic behavior, it was assumed that it would behave, in terms of spread among communities, like other respiratory viruses. One of these measures is the wearing of facial masks, either a surgical-type mask, bandana or N95 respirator mask. With the advent of the so-called COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen a number of medical practices that have little or no scientific support as regards reducing the spread of this infection. In some jurisdictions, all citizens must wear a face mask if they are outside of their own home. Many employers are requiring all employees to wear a face mask while at work. Costco, for instance, will not allow shoppers into the store without wearing a face mask. The bottom line is that if you are not sick, you should not wear a face mask.Īs businesses reopen, many are requiring shoppers and employees to wear a face mask. Russell Blaylock warns that not only do face masks fail to protect the healthy from getting sick, but they also create serious health risks to the wearer.
