KEN’S CORNER: Trump Is Saving America … From Itself
Commentary by TLB Contributing Writer: Ken LaRive
Take a look at his symbolism. Do you see what he stands for? He is a Marxist Communist, started by Zionists, originating during the Bolshevik Revolution… This ideology killed 60 million people, and was threatening not only Germany, but all of Europe. Of course you don’t know this because they won, writing your history books and teaching your children in university. These kids got this idea from a Communist teacher in a Marxist University.
I think this guy is in England, looking at the soap on the sink, but this ideology is the same as here in the states. It is called ANTIFA. They were a paramilitary part of the German government, and Hitler was fighting them. See the antiNAZI tattoo? Study the Russian Revolution, and how Zionism hijacked the Jewish religion. They are the fake Jews Jesus told us about in the Book of Revelation, “Beware of fake Jews who say they are Jews but are not. For they lie. They belong to the Synagogue of Satan.”
You had better sit down…
The Rothschild international bankers, and The Federal Reserve, have quadrupled our national debt since 2008… because they thought we are about to go belly up… They were sucking us dry, and to the last drop… money they can print out of thin air and put on the back of your future as debt, and there was nothing you could do about it, until now.
They didn’t think Trump would win. He saved us…
Their carpet baggers were about to swoop down on America and buy it all for pennies on the dollar. That’s what the virus was designed to do, but the Trump economy was too strong, and we survived it. Now they are sending out their thugs to divide us, just like they did 120 years ago, and a hundred times since… but this time they have been Trumped. Race is being used to divide us once again. We must drain the swamp. They see that coming, the writing is on the wall, and people are waking up… and they will do anything to survive, even burn America to the ground. They want a civil war. They want whites to kill blacks, right to kill left, the law against the lawless… and it is all masterfully orchestrated! President Trump Is going after the head of this snake. He is going to Drain the swamp.
They own our media. Manufacture arms for the military. Pharmaceutical out of China, the Federal Reserve, and there is 7.5 trillions missing from the Pentagon. One day before 9/11, Rumsfeld gave a speech saying that trillions were missing, and that was a decade before this… They are raping us blind, and President Trump is trying what he can to fight back, and stay alive. The last president who did was Kennedy… JFK and his brother RFK who was running for president…
From Q:
THE SATANIC AGENDA 21/30 EXPOSED FROM INSIDE!!
FACT: 179 COUNTRIES SIGNED (SECRETLY) FOR IT IN 1992!
THE FAKE P(L)PANDEMIC MUST KILL OUR ECONOMIES AS A START! THEIR NEW WORLD ORDER HAVE BIG PLANS FOR US!! ONLY IN THIS TIME, WE CAN STAND UP AGAINST IT! WWG1 WGA…Q
“Agenda 21” is an evil and sinister plan by the now shadow government the EU-VN and the 179 member countries, who are under obligation to implement its plans and programs (in the disguise of the catchy term known as “sustainable development”). Educate yourself and others!! Do your own research to grasp the gravity and depth of the evil consequences of these so-called “development” programs.
WHEN YOU LEARN ALL ABOUT THEIR SATANIC AGENDA 21 THEN SEARCH AGENDA 30! THEIR END GOAL IS WRITTEN IN STONE AND MUST BE DONE IN 2030.
It is written in stone…
The Georgia Guidestones are large granite columns on a hill in Elbert County, Georgia, USA. Sometimes they are called an “American Stonehenge”.
Built-in 1980, these pale gray rocks are quietly awaiting the end of the world as we know it. Called the Georgia Guidestones, the monument was for normal humans a mystery—nobody knows exactly who commissioned it or why.
UNTIL NOW!!!
There is a message on the granite columns, in which ten main points are displayed in eight languages. The report consists of clues to the survivors of a future apocalypse who must build a new and above all better civilization. The structure itself is simultaneously a compass, calendar, and clock.
The “Ten Commandments” on the stones are;
Keep the number of people below 500,000,000 (500 million) so that a balance with nature is achieved. Control reproduction in a way that improves health and diversity. Unites humanity under a new living language. Control drives, faith, tradition, and all things with moderate reasonableness. Protect the countries and peoples with fair laws and just courts. Let all nations settle their own affairs, but let them resolve their disputes before a world court. Avoid unnecessary rules and useless officials. Balance personal rights against social duties. Reward truth, beauty, and love, and seek harmony with the infinite. Don’t be cancer on this earth. Leave room for nature.

Seattle Mayor U-Turn, Plans to Send Police in to Dismantle CHAZ-CHOP
Occupiers have indicated that they plan to resist any attempts by the city to retake its property
BY
SEATTLE – Seattle’s Democrat Mayor Jenny Durkan has just announced plans to send police teams back into the capital’s East Precinct “Autonomous Zone” to dismantle the Black Lives Matter ‘CHAZ-CHOP’ occupation of seven blocks of the city. She did not present an exact timeline yet, but said this would happen in “the near future.”
To move has come following a double shooting which has already resulted in one fatality. Police arrived at he makeshift entrance o CHAZ-CHOP on June 20th to assist any victims and conduct a possible murder investigation, but were attacked and repelled by the occupying anarchist mob – preventing a proper homicide investigation form taking place.
In the first days of the occupation, Durkan brushed off calls to protect her city, saying that that was going to be a “summer of love” in CHAZ-CHOP.
Occupiers have indicated that they plan to resist any attempts by the city to retake its property, raising concerns about a potential armed standoff between anarchists and police.
Durkan made this surprise announcement with Seattle’s embattled Police Chief, Carmen Best. Like Durkan, Best has been accused of bias towards the Black Lives Matter political movement and came under heavy national criticism after she was seen coddling CHAZ-CHOP occupiers after she abandoned the city’s Capitol Hill district – effectively giving away her police precinct to the mob of ‘social justice’ protesters some three weeks ago.
Watch this video report from local NBC affiliate:
King 5 NBC News affiliate report: At a news conference Monday, Durkan said the city was working with community leaders to bring CHOP to an end after two weeks of occupation. The mayor said the violence was distracting from changes sought by thousands of peaceful protesters seeking to address racial inequity and police brutality.
City officials have not outlined the plan for dismantling the CHOP zone, but said there could be an overnight disperse order that would be enforced by community partners and not police. A 19-year-old man identified as Horace Anderson died after a shooting early Saturday in the CHOP zone. A 33-year-old man remains in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center. A 17-year-old boy was shot in the arm near Cal Anderson Park around 10 p.m. Sunday. He declined to speak with detectives. The teen was treated at the hospital and released. “It’s not only wrong, but it’s undermining and distracting from the message we’re hearing in the streets,” Durkan said in response to the shootings. “We cannot let acts of violence define this call for change.” Durkan said Seattle police need the East Precinct and will be returning soon. Officers left the East Precinct in Capitol Hill on June 11 after protesters occupied the area and demanded police reform. Chief Best said it was not her decision for officers to leave the Capitol Hill station. City officials did not announce a timeline for the reopening the precinct, but said police will return to the building with the public’s safety in mind. With the East Precinct being closed, SPD said police response times were up to three times longer than before. The mayor said she will present the 2020 budget to Seattle City Council this week. The newly changed budget proposal will include allocations for investing in Black and marginalized communities, mentorship programs, and summer learning for Black youth and providing additional resources for community engagement and policing. The city will also look at rethinking policing, which includes culture and funding. “It won’t be undone in a day or in any one city, but we must try,” Durkan said. “We must do better here. In Seattle and across the country.” ********* (TLB) published this article from 21st Wire with our appreciation for the coverage.

thelibertybeacon--2020-06-23--Masks Don’t Work: A Review of Science Relevant to COVID-19 Social Policy

Whenever I get an email from Costco , I answer and tell them – “ When you drop the mandatory mask wearing , I ’ ll be back.
” They never answer but I feel good that I made a stand .
In Wholefoods , masks are not mandatory but you wouldn ’ t know that when you walk in .
I see maybe two people not wearing one out of over a hundred .
I feel like I ’ m in a zombie movie .
It really makes you wonder why so many people are accepting this senseless idea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flu is far more serious and deadly .
It pains me also to see small children having to wear one and be socially distant .
What does that instill in them ?
That it might always be unsafe to be with others ?
Life threatening if you don ’ t wear a mask and be less than six feet away ?
At such impressionable ages , how much trust and joy in communication will be lost , even after these rules are lifted , if they ever are ?
Perhaps they have become @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the peaceful protesters are reversing that .
My viewpoint is not to be rebellious , although that personality trait is becoming mandatory itself if we want to stay alive and healthy these days ( minus looting , etc ) .
There is just so much evidence that masks do not work .

” Conclusion Regarding That Masks Do Not Work No RCT study with verified outcome shows a benefit for HCW or community members in households to wearing a mask or respirator .
There is no such study .
There are no exceptions .
Likewise , no study exists that shows a benefit from a broad policy to wear masks in public ( more on this below ) .
Furthermore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wearing a mask , because of the blocking power against droplets and aerosol particles , then there should be more benefit from wearing a respirator ( N95 ) compared to a surgical mask , yet several large meta-analyses , and all the RCT , prove that there is no such relative benefit .
Masks and respirators do not work .
Precautionary Principle Turned on Its Head with Masks In light of the medical research , therefore , it is difficult to understand why public-health authorities are not consistently adamant about this established scientific @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economic , and environmental harm from a broad recommendation to wear masks is significant , not to mention the unknown potential harm from concentration and distribution of pathogens on and from used masks .
In this case , public authorities would be turning the precautionary principle on its head ( see below ) .
Physics and Biology of Viral Respiratory Disease and of Why Masks Do Not Work In order to understand why masks can not possibly work , we must review established knowledge about viral respiratory diseases , the mechanism of seasonal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ influenza , the aerosol mechanism of infectious disease transmission , the physics and chemistry of aerosols , and the mechanism of the so-called minimum-infective-dose .
In addition to pandemics that can occur anytime , in the temperate latitudes there is an extra burden of respiratory-disease mortality that is seasonal , and that is caused by viruses .
For example , see the review of influenza by Paules and Subbarao ( 2017 ) .
This has been known for a long time , and the seasonal pattern is exceedingly regular .
( Publisher ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ references to studies here forward are found at the end of this article . )
For example , see Figure 1 of Viboud ( 2010 ) , which has “ Weekly time series of the ratio of deaths from pneumonia and influenza to all deaths , based on the 122 cities surveillance in the US ( blue line ) .
The red line represents the expected baseline ratio in the absence of influenza activity , ” here : The seasonality of the phenomenon was largely not understood until a decade ago .
Until @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pattern arose primarily because of seasonal change in virulence of the pathogens , or because of seasonal change in susceptibility of the host ( such as from dry air causing tissue irritation , or diminished daylight causing vitamin deficiency or hormonal stress ) .
For example , see Dowell ( 2001 ) .
In a landmark study , Shaman et al .
( 2010 ) showed that the seasonal pattern of extra respiratory-disease mortality can be explained quantitatively on the sole basis of absolute humidity , and its direct controlling impact on transmission @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
( 2007 ) demonstrated the phenomenon of humidity-dependent airborne-virus virulence in actual disease transmission between guinea pigs , and discussed potential underlying mechanisms for the measured controlling effect of humidity .
The underlying mechanism is that the pathogen-laden aerosol particles or droplets are neutralized within a half-life that monotonically and significantly decreases with increasing ambient humidity .
This is based on the seminal work of Harper ( 1961 ) .
Harper experimentally showed that viral-pathogen-carrying droplets were inactivated within shorter and shorter times , as ambient humidity was increased .
Harper argued @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the humidity ( “ viable decay ” ) , however , he admitted that the effect could be from humidity-enhanced physical removal or sedimentation of the droplets ( “ physical loss ” ) : “ Aerosol viabilities reported in this paper are based on the ratio of virus titre to radioactive count in suspension and cloud samples , and can be criticized on the ground that test and tracer materials were not physically identical.
” The latter ( “ physical loss ” ) seems more plausible to me , since humidity would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ particle/droplet growth and sedimentation , and all tested viral pathogens have essentially the same humidity-driven “ decay.
” Furthermore , it is difficult to understand how a virion ( of all virus types ) in a droplet would be molecularly or structurally attacked or damaged by an increase in ambient humidity .
A “ virion ” is the complete , infective form of a virus outside a host cell , with a core of RNA or DNA and a capsid .
The actual mechanism of such humidity-driven intra-droplet “ viable decay ” of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ studied .
In any case , the explanation and model of Shaman et al .
( 2010 ) is not dependent on the particular mechanism of the humidity-driven decay of virions in aerosol/droplets .
Shaman ’ s quantitatively demonstrated model of seasonal regional viral epidemiology is valid for either mechanism ( or combination of mechanisms ) , whether “ viable decay ” or “ physical loss.
” The breakthrough achieved by Shaman et al .
is not merely some academic point .
Rather , it has profound health-policy implications , which have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus pandemic .
In particular , Shaman ’ s work necessarily implies that , rather than being a fixed number ( dependent solely on the spatial-temporal structure of social interactions in a completely susceptible population , and on the viral strain ) , the epidemic ’ s basic reproduction number ( R0 ) is highly or predominantly dependent on ambient absolute humidity .
For a definition of R0 , see HealthKnowlege-UK ( 2020 ) : R0 is “ the average number of secondary infections produced by a typical case of an infection in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The average R0 for influenza is said to be 1.28 ( 1.19–1.37 ) ; see the comprehensive review by Biggerstaff et al .
( 2014 ) .
In fact , Shaman et al .
showed that R0 must be understood to seasonally vary between humid-summer values of just larger than “ 1 ” and dry-winter values typically as large as “ 4 ” ( for example , see their Table 2 ) .
In other words , the seasonal infectious viral respiratory diseases that plague temperate latitudes every year go from being intrinsically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simply to the bio-physical mode of transmission controlled by atmospheric humidity , irrespective of any other consideration .
Therefore , all the epidemiological mathematical modeling of the benefits of mediating policies ( such as social distancing ) , which assumes humidity-independent R0 values , has a large likelihood of being of little value , on this basis alone .
For studies about modeling and regarding mediation effects on the effective reproduction number , see Coburn ( 2009 ) and Tracht ( 2010 ) .
To put it simply , the “ second wave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consequence of human sin regarding mask wearing and hand shaking .
Rather , the “ second wave ” is an inescapable consequence of an air-dryness-driven many-fold increase in disease contagiousness , in a population that has not yet attained immunity .
If my view of the mechanism is correct ( i.e.
, “ physical loss ” ) , then Shaman ’ s work further necessarily implies that the dryness-driven high transmissibility ( large R0 ) arises from small aerosol particles fluidly suspended in the air ; as opposed to large droplets that are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Such small aerosol particles fluidly suspended in air , of biological origin , are of every variety and are everywhere , including down to virion-sizes ( Despres , 2012 ) .
It is not entirely unlikely that viruses can thereby be physically transported over inter-continental distances ( e.g.
, Hammond , 1989 ) .
More to the point , indoor airborne virus concentrations have been shown to exist ( in day-care facilities , health centers , and on-board airplanes ) primarily as aerosol particles of diameters smaller than 2.5 μm , such as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
( 2011 ) : “ Half of the 16 samples were positive , and their total virus −3 concentrations ranged from 5800 to 37 000 genome copies m .
On average , 64 per cent of the viral genome copies were associated with fine particles smaller than 2.5 μm , which can remain suspended for hours .
Modeling of virus concentrations indoors suggested a source strength of 1.6 ± 1.2 × 105 genome copies m−3 air h−1 and a deposition flux onto surfaces of 13 ± 7 genome copies m−2 h−1 by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the inhalation dose was estimated to be 30 ± 18 median tissue culture infectious dose ( TCID50 ) , adequate to induce infection .
These results provide quantitative support for the idea that the aerosol route could be an important mode of influenza transmission.
” Such small particles ( < 2.5 μm ) are part of air fluidity , are not subject to gravitational sedimentation , and would not be stopped by long-range inertial impact .
This means that the slightest ( even momentary ) facial misfit of a mask or respirator renders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or respirator entirely irrelevant .
In any case , the filtration material itself of N95 ( average pore size ~0.3−0.5 μm ) does not block virion penetration , not to mention surgical masks .
For example , see Balazy et al .
( 2006 ) .
Mask stoppage efficiency and host inhalation are only half of the equation , however , because the minimal infective dose ( MID ) must also be considered .
For example , if a large number of pathogen-laden particles must be delivered to the lung within a certain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , then partial blocking by any mask or cloth can be enough to make a significant difference .
On the other hand , if the MID is amply surpassed by the virions carried in a single aerosol particle able to evade mask-capture , then the mask is of no practical utility , which is the case .
Yezli and Otter ( 2011 ) , in their review of the MID , point out relevant features : • None Most respiratory viruses are as infective in humans as in tissue culture having optimal laboratory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a single virion can be enough to induce illness in the host • None The 50-percent probability MID ( “ TCID50 ” ) has variably been found to be in the range 100−1000 virions • None There are typically 10 to 3rd power − 10 to 7th power virions per aerolized influenza droplet with diameter 1 μm − 10 μm • None The 50-percent probability MID easily fits into a single ( one ) aerolized droplet • None A classic description of dose-response assessment is provided by Haas ( 1993 ) .
• @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) provided the first laboratory proof , in a virus-insect system , that the action of a single virion can be sufficient to cause disease .
• None Baccam et al .
( 2006 ) calculated from empirical data that , with influenza A in humans , “ we estimate that after a delay of ~6 h , infected cells begin producing influenza virus and continue to do so for ~5 h. The average lifetime of infected cells is ~11 h , and the half-life of free infectious virus is ~3 h. We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number , R0 , which indicated that a single infected cell could produce ~22 new productive infections.
” • None Brooke et al .
( 2013 ) showed that , contrary to prior modeling assumptions , although not all influenza-A-infected cells in the human body produce infectious progeny ( virions ) , nonetheless , 90 percent of infected cell are significantly impacted , rather than simply surviving unharmed .
All of this to say that : if anything gets through ( and it always does , irrespective of the mask ) , then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Masks can not possibly work .
It is not surprising , therefore , that no bias-free study has ever found a benefit from wearing a mask or respirator in this application .
Therefore , the studies that show partial stopping power of masks , or that show that masks can capture many large droplets produced by a sneezing or coughing mask-wearer , in light of the above-described features of the problem , are irrelevant .
For example , such studies as these : Leung ( 2020 ) , Davies ( 2013 ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( 2008 ) .
Why There Can Never Be an Empirical Test of a Nation-Wide Mask-Wearing Policy As mentioned above , no study exists that shows a benefit from a broad policy to wear masks in public .
There is good reason for this .
It would be impossible to obtain unambiguous and bias-free results [ because ] : • None Any benefit from mask-wearing would have to be a small effect , since undetected in controlled experiments , which would be swamped by the larger effects , notably the large effect from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ compliance and mask adjustment habits would be unknown .
• None Mask-wearing is associated ( correlated ) with several other health behaviors ; see Wada ( 2012 ) .
• None The results would not be transferable , because of differing cultural habits .
• None Compliance is achieved by fear , and individuals can habituate to fear-based propaganda , and can have disparate basic responses .
• None Monitoring and compliance measurement are near-impossible , and subject to large errors .
• None Self-reporting ( such as in surveys ) is notoriously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ belief that their efforts are useful .
• None Progression of the epidemic is not verified with reliable tests on large population samples , and generally relies on non-representative hospital visits or admissions .
• None Several different pathogens ( viruses and strains of viruses ) causing respiratory illness generally act together , in the same population and/or in individuals , and are not resolved , while having different epidemiological characteristics .
Unknown Aspects of Mask Wearing Many potential harms may arise from broad public policies to wear masks , and the following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used and loaded masks become sources of enhanced transmission , for the wearer and others ?
• None Do masks become collectors and retainers of pathogens that the mask wearer would otherwise avoid when breathing without a mask ?
• None Are large droplets captured by a mask atomized or aerolized into breathable components ?
Can virions escape an evaporating droplet stuck to a mask fiber ?
• None What are the dangers of bacterial growth on a used and loaded mask ?
• None How do pathogen-laden droplets interact with environmental dust @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • None What are long-term health effects on HCW , such as headaches , arising from impeded breathing ?
• None Are there negative social consequences to a masked society ?
• None Are there negative psychological consequences to wearing a mask , as a fear-based behavioral modification ?
• None What are the environmental consequences of mask manufacturing and disposal ?
• None Do the masks shed fibers or substances that are harmful when inhaled ?
By making mask-wearing recommendations and policies for the general public , or by expressly condoning the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scientific evidence and done the opposite of following the precautionary principle .
In an absence of knowledge , governments should not make policies that have a hypothetical potential to cause harm .
The government has an onus barrier before it instigates a broad social-engineering intervention , or allows corporations to exploit fear-based sentiments .
Furthermore , individuals should know that there is no known benefit arising from wearing a mask in a viral respiratory illness epidemic , and that scientific studies have shown that any benefit must be residually small , compared to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what is the point of publicly funded science ?
The present paper about masks illustrates the degree to which governments , the mainstream media , and institutional propagandists can decide to operate in a science vacuum , or select only incomplete science that serves their interests .
Such recklessness is also certainly the case with the current global lockdown of over 1 billion people , an unprecedented experiment in medical and political history .

Masks Don’t Work: A Review of Science Relevant to COVID-19 Social Policy
Preface by TLB Staff Author: Lucille Femine
Whenever I get an email from Costco, I answer and tell them – “When you drop the mandatory mask wearing, I’ll be back.” They never answer but I feel good that I made a stand.
In Wholefoods, masks are not mandatory but you wouldn’t know that when you walk in. I see maybe two people not wearing one out of over a hundred. I feel like I’m in a zombie movie. It really makes you wonder why so many people are accepting this senseless idea when most of them know the seasonal flu is far more serious and deadly.
It pains me also to see small children having to wear one and be socially distant. What does that instill in them? That it might always be unsafe to be with others? Life threatening if you don’t wear a mask and be less than six feet away? At such impressionable ages, how much trust and joy in communication will be lost, even after these rules are lifted, if they ever are? Perhaps they have become the fabric of social life. Hopefully the peaceful protesters are reversing that.
My viewpoint is not to be rebellious, although that personality trait is becoming mandatory itself if we want to stay alive and healthy these days (minus looting, etc). There is just so much evidence that masks do not work. One point that shows clearly how ridiculous they are in preventing infection is that germs are not partial to entering just the mask itself. They can make a grand entrance around the sides, the top and the bottom. Ever wonder about that?
I credit that valuable piece of data to one of our great patriots, Dr. Rashid Buttar:
Well, we made a breakthrough on June 20th at Trump’s first rally since Covid-19. Not many masks. This is one small victory in the many to come when the full “unmasking” of the cabal will be far more significant.

Masks Don’t Work: A Review of Science Relevant to COVID-19 Social Policy
By: Denis G. Rancourt, PhD
Masks and respirators do not work.
There have been extensive randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies, and meta-analysis reviews of RCT studies, which all show that masks and respirators do not work to prevent respiratory influenza-like illnesses, or respiratory illnesses believed to be transmitted by droplets and aerosol particles.
Furthermore, the relevant known physics and biology, which I review, are such that masks and respirators should not work. It would be a paradox if masks and respirators worked, given what we know about viral respiratory diseases: The main transmission path is long-residence-time aerosol particles (< 2.5 μm), which are too fine to be blocked, and the minimum-infective dose is smaller than one aerosol particle.
The present paper about masks illustrates the degree to which governments, the mainstream media, and institutional propagandists can decide to operate in a science vacuum, or select only incomplete science that serves their interests. Such recklessness is also certainly the case with the current global lockdown of over 1 billion people, an unprecedented experiment in medical and political history.

Here are key anchor points to the extensive scientific literature that establishes that wearing surgical masks and respirators (e.g., “N95”) does not reduce the risk of contracting a verified illness:
Jacobs, J. L. et al. (2009) “Use of surgical face masks to reduce the incidence of the common cold among health care workers in Japan: A randomized controlled trial,” American Journal of Infection Control, Volume 37, Issue 5, 417 – 419. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19216002
N95-masked health-care workers (HCW) were significantly more likely to experience headaches. Face mask use in HCW was not demonstrated to provide benefit in terms of cold symptoms or getting colds.
Cowling, B. et al. (2010) “Face masks to prevent transmission of influenza virus: A systematic review,” Epidemiology and Infection, 138(4), 449-456. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/epidemiology-and-infection/article/face-masks-to-prevent-transmission-of-influenza-virus-a-systematic- review/64D368496EBDE0AFCC6639CCC9D8BC05
None of the studies reviewed showed a benefit from wearing a mask, in either HCW or community members in households (H). See summary Tables 1 and 2 therein.

“There were 17 eligible studies. … None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.”

“We identified six clinical studies … . In the meta-analysis of the clinical studies, we found no significant difference between N95 respirators and surgical masks in associated risk of (a) laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection, (b) influenza-like illness, or (c) reported work-place absenteeism.”

“Self-reported assessment of clinical outcomes was prone to bias. Evidence of a protective effect of masks or respirators against verified respiratory infection (VRI) was not statistically significant”; as per Fig. 2c therein:

“Among 2862 randomized participants, 2371 completed the study and accounted for 5180 HCW-seasons. … Among outpatient health care personnel, N95 respirators vs medical masks as worn by participants in this trial resulted in no significant difference in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”
Long, Y. et al. (2020) “Effectiveness of N95 respirators versus surgical masks against influenza: A systematic review and meta-analysis,” J Evid Based Med. 2020; 1- 9. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jebm.12381
“A total of six RCTs involving 9,171 participants were included. There were no statistically significant differences in preventing laboratory-confirmed influenza, laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infections, laboratory-confirmed respiratory infection, and influenza-like illness using N95 respirators and surgical masks. Meta-analysis indicated a protective effect of N95 respirators against laboratory-confirmed bacterial colonization (RR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.43-0.78). The use of N95 respirators compared with surgical masks is not associated with a lower risk of laboratory-confirmed influenza.”
Conclusion Regarding That Masks Do Not Work
No RCT study with verified outcome shows a benefit for HCW or community members in households to wearing a mask or respirator. There is no such study. There are no exceptions.
Likewise, no study exists that shows a benefit from a broad policy to wear masks in public (more on this below).
Furthermore, if there were any benefit to wearing a mask, because of the blocking power against droplets and aerosol particles, then there should be more benefit from wearing a respirator (N95) compared to a surgical mask, yet several large meta-analyses, and all the RCT, prove that there is no such relative benefit.
Masks and respirators do not work.
Precautionary Principle Turned on Its Head with Masks
In light of the medical research, therefore, it is difficult to understand why public-health authorities are not consistently adamant about this established scientific result, since the distributed psychological, economic, and environmental harm from a broad recommendation to wear masks is significant, not to mention the unknown potential harm from concentration and distribution of pathogens on and from used masks. In this case, public authorities would be turning the precautionary principle on its head (see below).
Physics and Biology of Viral Respiratory Disease and of Why Masks Do Not Work
In order to understand why masks cannot possibly work, we must review established knowledge about viral respiratory diseases, the mechanism of seasonal variation of excess deaths from pneumonia and influenza, the aerosol mechanism of infectious disease transmission, the physics and chemistry of aerosols, and the mechanism of the so-called minimum-infective-dose.
In addition to pandemics that can occur anytime, in the temperate latitudes there is an extra burden of respiratory-disease mortality that is seasonal, and that is caused by viruses. For example, see the review of influenza by Paules and Subbarao (2017). This has been known for a long time, and the seasonal pattern is exceedingly regular. (Publisher’s note: All links to source references to studies here forward are found at the end of this article.)
For example, see Figure 1 of Viboud (2010), which has “Weekly time series of the ratio of deaths from pneumonia and influenza to all deaths, based on the 122 cities surveillance in the US (blue line). The red line represents the expected baseline ratio in the absence of influenza activity,” here:
The seasonality of the phenomenon was largely not understood until a decade ago. Until recently, it was debated whether the pattern arose primarily because of seasonal change in virulence of the pathogens, or because of seasonal change in susceptibility of the host (such as from dry air causing tissue irritation, or diminished daylight causing vitamin deficiency or hormonal stress). For example, see Dowell (2001).
In a landmark study, Shaman et al. (2010) showed that the seasonal pattern of extra respiratory-disease mortality can be explained quantitatively on the sole basis of absolute humidity, and its direct controlling impact on transmission of airborne pathogens.
Lowen et al. (2007) demonstrated the phenomenon of humidity-dependent airborne-virus virulence in actual disease transmission between guinea pigs, and discussed potential underlying mechanisms for the measured controlling effect of humidity.
The underlying mechanism is that the pathogen-laden aerosol particles or droplets are neutralized within a half-life that monotonically and significantly decreases with increasing ambient humidity. This is based on the seminal work of Harper (1961). Harper experimentally showed that viral-pathogen-carrying droplets were inactivated within shorter and shorter times, as ambient humidity was increased.
Harper argued that the viruses themselves were made inoperative by the humidity (“viable decay”), however, he admitted that the effect could be from humidity-enhanced physical removal or sedimentation of the droplets (“physical loss”): “Aerosol viabilities reported in this paper are based on the ratio of virus titre to radioactive count in suspension and cloud samples, and can be criticized on the ground that test and tracer materials were not physically identical.”
The latter (“physical loss”) seems more plausible to me, since humidity would have a universal physical effect of causing particle/droplet growth and sedimentation, and all tested viral pathogens have essentially the same humidity-driven “decay.” Furthermore, it is difficult to understand how a virion (of all virus types) in a droplet would be molecularly or structurally attacked or damaged by an increase in ambient humidity. A “virion” is the complete, infective form of a virus outside a host cell, with a core of RNA or DNA and a capsid. The actual mechanism of such humidity-driven intra-droplet “viable decay” of a virion has not been explained or studied.
In any case, the explanation and model of Shaman et al. (2010) is not dependent on the particular mechanism of the humidity-driven decay of virions in aerosol/droplets. Shaman’s quantitatively demonstrated model of seasonal regional viral epidemiology is valid for either mechanism (or combination of mechanisms), whether “viable decay” or “physical loss.”
The breakthrough achieved by Shaman et al. is not merely some academic point. Rather, it has profound health-policy implications, which have been entirely ignored or overlooked in the current coronavirus pandemic.
In particular, Shaman’s work necessarily implies that, rather than being a fixed number (dependent solely on the spatial-temporal structure of social interactions in a completely susceptible population, and on the viral strain), the epidemic’s basic reproduction number (R0) is highly or predominantly dependent on ambient absolute humidity.
For a definition of R0, see HealthKnowlege-UK (2020): R0 is “the average number of secondary infections produced by a typical case of an infection in a population where everyone is susceptible.” The average R0 for influenza is said to be 1.28 (1.19–1.37); see the comprehensive review by Biggerstaff et al. (2014).
In fact, Shaman et al. showed that R0 must be understood to seasonally vary between humid-summer values of just larger than “1” and dry-winter values typically as large as “4” (for example, see their Table 2). In other words, the seasonal infectious viral respiratory diseases that plague temperate latitudes every year go from being intrinsically mildly contagious to virulently contagious, due simply to the bio-physical mode of transmission controlled by atmospheric humidity, irrespective of any other consideration.
Therefore, all the epidemiological mathematical modeling of the benefits of mediating policies (such as social distancing), which assumes humidity-independent R0 values, has a large likelihood of being of little value, on this basis alone. For studies about modeling and regarding mediation effects on the effective reproduction number, see Coburn (2009) and Tracht (2010).
To put it simply, the “second wave” of an epidemic is not a consequence of human sin regarding mask wearing and hand shaking. Rather, the “second wave” is an inescapable consequence of an air-dryness-driven many-fold increase in disease contagiousness, in a population that has not yet attained immunity.
If my view of the mechanism is correct (i.e., “physical loss”), then Shaman’s work further necessarily implies that the dryness-driven high transmissibility (large R0) arises from small aerosol particles fluidly suspended in the air; as opposed to large droplets that are quickly gravitationally removed from the air.
Such small aerosol particles fluidly suspended in air, of biological origin, are of every variety and are everywhere, including down to virion-sizes (Despres, 2012). It is not entirely unlikely that viruses can thereby be physically transported over inter-continental distances (e.g., Hammond, 1989).
More to the point, indoor airborne virus concentrations have been shown to exist (in day-care facilities, health centers, and on-board airplanes) primarily as aerosol particles of diameters smaller than 2.5 μm, such as in the work of Yang et al. (2011):
“Half of the 16 samples were positive, and their total virus −3 concentrations ranged from 5800 to 37 000 genome copies m . On average, 64 per cent of the viral genome copies were associated with fine particles smaller than 2.5 μm, which can remain suspended for hours. Modeling of virus concentrations indoors suggested a source strength of 1.6 ± 1.2 × 105 genome copies m−3 air h−1 and a deposition flux onto surfaces of 13 ± 7 genome copies m−2 h−1 by Brownian motion. Over one hour, the inhalation dose was estimated to be 30 ± 18 median tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50), adequate to induce infection. These results provide quantitative support for the idea that the aerosol route could be an important mode of influenza transmission.”
Such small particles (< 2.5 μm) are part of air fluidity, are not subject to gravitational sedimentation, and would not be stopped by long-range inertial impact. This means that the slightest (even momentary) facial misfit of a mask or respirator renders the design filtration norm of the mask or respirator entirely irrelevant. In any case, the filtration material itself of N95 (average pore size ~0.3−0.5 μm) does not block virion penetration, not to mention surgical masks. For example, see Balazy et al. (2006).
Mask stoppage efficiency and host inhalation are only half of the equation, however, because the minimal infective dose (MID) must also be considered. For example, if a large number of pathogen-laden particles must be delivered to the lung within a certain time for the illness to take hold, then partial blocking by any mask or cloth can be enough to make a significant difference.
On the other hand, if the MID is amply surpassed by the virions carried in a single aerosol particle able to evade mask-capture, then the mask is of no practical utility, which is the case.
Yezli and Otter (2011), in their review of the MID, point out relevant features:
Most respiratory viruses are as infective in humans as in tissue culture having optimal laboratory susceptibility It is believed that a single virion can be enough to induce illness in the host The 50-percent probability MID (“TCID50”) has variably been found to be in the range 100−1000 virions There are typically 10 to 3rd power − 10 to 7th power virions per aerolized influenza droplet with diameter 1 μm − 10 μm The 50-percent probability MID easily fits into a single (one) aerolized droplet For further background: A classic description of dose-response assessment is provided by Haas (1993). Zwart et al. (2009) provided the first laboratory proof, in a virus-insect system, that the action of a single virion can be sufficient to cause disease. Baccam et al. (2006) calculated from empirical data that, with influenza A in humans,“we estimate that after a delay of ~6 h, infected cells begin producing influenza virus and continue to do so for ~5 h. The average lifetime of infected cells is ~11 h, and the half-life of free infectious virus is ~3 h. We calculated the [in-body] basic reproductive number, R0, which indicated that a single infected cell could produce ~22 new productive infections.” Brooke et al. (2013) showed that, contrary to prior modeling assumptions, although not all influenza-A-infected cells in the human body produce infectious progeny (virions), nonetheless, 90 percent of infected cell are significantly impacted, rather than simply surviving unharmed.
All of this to say that: if anything gets through (and it always does, irrespective of the mask), then you are going to be infected. Masks cannot possibly work. It is not surprising, therefore, that no bias-free study has ever found a benefit from wearing a mask or respirator in this application.
Therefore, the studies that show partial stopping power of masks, or that show that masks can capture many large droplets produced by a sneezing or coughing mask-wearer, in light of the above-described features of the problem, are irrelevant. For example, such studies as these: Leung (2020), Davies (2013), Lai (2012), and Sande (2008).
Why There Can Never Be an Empirical Test of a Nation-Wide Mask-Wearing Policy
As mentioned above, no study exists that shows a benefit from a broad policy to wear masks in public. There is good reason for this. It would be impossible to obtain unambiguous and bias-free results [because]:
Any benefit from mask-wearing would have to be a small effect, since undetected in controlled experiments, which would be swamped by the larger effects, notably the large effect from changing atmospheric humidity. Mask compliance and mask adjustment habits would be unknown. Mask-wearing is associated (correlated) with several other health behaviors; see Wada (2012). The results would not be transferable, because of differing cultural habits. Compliance is achieved by fear, and individuals can habituate to fear-based propaganda, and can have disparate basic responses. Monitoring and compliance measurement are near-impossible, and subject to large errors. Self-reporting (such as in surveys) is notoriously biased, because individuals have the self-interested belief that their efforts are useful. Progression of the epidemic is not verified with reliable tests on large population samples, and generally relies on non-representative hospital visits or admissions. Several different pathogens (viruses and strains of viruses) causing respiratory illness generally act together, in the same population and/or in individuals, and are not resolved, while having different epidemiological characteristics.
Unknown Aspects of Mask Wearing
Many potential harms may arise from broad public policies to wear masks, and the following unanswered questions arise:
Do used and loaded masks become sources of enhanced transmission, for the wearer and others? Do masks become collectors and retainers of pathogens that the mask wearer would otherwise avoid when breathing without a mask? Are large droplets captured by a mask atomized or aerolized into breathable components? Can virions escape an evaporating droplet stuck to a mask fiber? What are the dangers of bacterial growth on a used and loaded mask? How do pathogen-laden droplets interact with environmental dust and aerosols captured on the mask? What are long-term health effects on HCW, such as headaches, arising from impeded breathing? Are there negative social consequences to a masked society? Are there negative psychological consequences to wearing a mask, as a fear-based behavioral modification? What are the environmental consequences of mask manufacturing and disposal? Do the masks shed fibers or substances that are harmful when inhaled?
Conclusion
By making mask-wearing recommendations and policies for the general public, or by expressly condoning the practice, governments have both ignored the scientific evidence and done the opposite of following the precautionary principle.
In an absence of knowledge, governments should not make policies that have a hypothetical potential to cause harm. The government has an onus barrier before it instigates a broad social-engineering intervention, or allows corporations to exploit fear-based sentiments.
Furthermore, individuals should know that there is no known benefit arising from wearing a mask in a viral respiratory illness epidemic, and that scientific studies have shown that any benefit must be residually small, compared to other and determinative factors.
Otherwise, what is the point of publicly funded science?
The present paper about masks illustrates the degree to which governments, the mainstream media, and institutional propagandists can decide to operate in a science vacuum, or select only incomplete science that serves their interests. Such recklessness is also certainly the case with the current global lockdown of over 1 billion people, an unprecedented experiment in medical and political history.
