Say you have a cold, or a flu.
Walk into your dental clinic and ask them for a simple cleaning.
Their reply my friends is simple.... NO.
Masks the doctors and assistance wear are referred to as PPE(personal protection equipment).
If masks are so safe, then why would they deny you treatment during your cold or flu?
Simple. THEY ARE NOT SAFE.
They only work against blood splatter and such...
In the dental field we are dealing with all kinds of things, skin, bone, blood.
And the one thing masks cannot do is protect US from a pathogen or viral loads inside a patients body.
Dentists and their assistants already deal with LOADS of aerosols made from the drills we use on a daily basis. You would be mind fucked to see a dental room under a blacklight after an appointment.
MASKS DO NOTHING.
Share with your crazy Karen Libtard to get her to test and comfirm.
I taught patient care, including the proper use of a medical mask.
You are correct that that they’re aimed at blocking blood splatter and such.
Here is the kicker though. Do masks KILL pathogens? No. They block/capture them. This means that you cannot touch the face of the mask after you put it on. This also means you must DISPOSE of the mask properly when you take it off. You cannot re-use it. You can’t stick it in your pocket. Doing so only transfers the pathogens somewhere else.
Used incorrectly, masks become fomites which then can propagate all sorts of pathogens. (not just COVID)
