I remember searching for this mythical 'science' at the time.
Lots of articles about virus particle size (much smaller than dust particles the N-95s are meant to filter out), how masks work etc (so major nono is having gaps around the edge). Of course cloth masks are useless, if not dangerous because stuff gets trapped in there.
The only thing that 'might' work is helmets with imported air, but there are still confounding factors, such as when and how you take the mask on and off, and risks of contamination from hands - LOL at those continually touching their mask to put it back on their noses. touch, touch, touch,
Not even the heralded N-95 masks will work, even as they restrict your breathing severely.
So, a PAPR (powered air purifying respirator) would work, provided you are also wearing a suit and hood to block all other vectors (ears, eyes, indirect contact from hands etc.) and provided you are using a proper P100 filter.
However, the problem is that even a P100 can be penetrated. If viruses are 0.1 microns or smaller, which they are, then they can penetrate through a P100 filter, which can only block around 0.2 microns and higher.
For comparison, an N95 blocks 5 microns or bigger. Which is a COLOSSAL difference.
So with a PAPR, using the proper filter, you'll probably still see some penetration. So then it comes down to keeping your intake as uncompromised as possible, because the positive pressure the PAPR creates will prevent infection through the respirator gaps itself.
I am unsure if there is a chemical cartridge that works in tandem for viruses like an OV P100 does for organic vapors.
But most of this is moot, of course, as most people grabbing a mask are not financially stable enough to afford a PAPR. Those things are expensive.
But an N95? A cloth mask? Hah. A P100 can't even stop them on its own.
And yet the US military reimposed them on Nov. 30th. This is the classic lull used by tyrants throughout history so as to give them time to secure reinforcements for the next operation. Another example is the Dutch farmers, who thought they won the nitrogen emission/use dictate the government imposed. It was only a lull for the government to establish reinforcements. Now, they are going to take 3000 farms. Decapitating all those responsible for the tyranny is the only way. Do you think the white farmers of the South Africa might have been a dry run for this?
Brandon Smith* at Alt-Market has been pointing out/predicting for some time that this will go in waves, because it's precisely how an abuser controls their victim (he is pretty good at tying in how narcissists behave both in personal situations and government etc). E.g. abusive boyfriend mistreats girlfriend, then lets up, they make up, she feels it's her fault and is glad to be back to "normal" (which ratchets towards "worse" as the abuse/control go on) etc. Like this is classic pattern of how this stuff works.
So we are likely seeing the next wave starting to swell, absolutely, and it will be a bigger wave this time.
*Edit: I don't agree with all his conclusions. He thinks Q is BS for example. But he's had really good analysis/predictions around the Covid stuff.
The victims will be punished more severely each time because they show a pattern for violating the rules. Even though, it's the same rule over and over again
Fauci coauthored a paper in 2008 claiming that bacterial pneumonia, brought on by MASK MANDATES, was the cause of the majority of 'Spanish Flu' deaths 100 years ago.
The CDC's webpage on the topic last time I bothered checking it had a list for ~18 papers it claimed supported mask efficacy. Not one was a prospective randomized clinical trial. They presented a long list of the scientific equivalent of circumstantial evidence and inference as if it were "proof". It's not.
My simple test at doctor's offices is this: "please show me the box with the masks. I'd like to see that the mask you're using is FDA approved for the purpose of stopping viral transmission." All you need is that statement. It's not legal to put it on the box without having proven it. So, let's look at the box and see what it says.... and inevitably, there is a statement that says the mask does not stop viruses, because that statement is also required by law. Usually that ends the discussion.
Masks don't work because THE FUCKING BOX SAYS THEY DON'T. Why won't anyone present these basic arguments instead of going all round the houses in these hearings and depositions.
And still the lame brain health “professionals” follow orders and are still masking, instead of demanding the administrators show proof they work and don’t do harm to the lungs, throat, and oral cavity.
I used to tell that one to Normies. "Well, if you were REALLY serious about not getting something.... you'd wear eye protection." I wanted to see if I could get them in a full hazmat. They were all too lazy and only wore the masks.
Because there aren't any.

Yes I meant imported air, not air filtration, as in carrying a tank, or connected to a hose to outside.
There are lots of science papers on masks. I don't know where Dr Fauci is looking.
Oh wait, he was looking for papers that said masks are useful?

"Brandon Smith" sounds familiar to me. Did this dude once work for InfoWars? I think he left a long time ago because of AJ's bullshit.
Not sure. I discovered the guy/his site from ZeroHedge feed.
It's all about demoralizing.

LOL I thought you were kidding.
But you were not!

WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW EVIL THIS GUY IS?

And still the lame brain health “professionals” follow orders and are still masking, instead of demanding the administrators show proof they work and don’t do harm to the lungs, throat, and oral cavity.
Was he asked about the studies that prove they are harmful... especially to children?
I remember Fauci recommending eyewear too, seeing if it would take. The public seemed to ignore his suggestion so he dropped it.
I used to tell that one to Normies. "Well, if you were REALLY serious about not getting something.... you'd wear eye protection." I wanted to see if I could get them in a full hazmat. They were all too lazy and only wore the masks.
Let's not forget this classic

Throw this mental midget criminal into a 3x3 foot jail cell. Don't worry, he'll fit.
Anyone have a twitter post of this where the leftists chime in; I would love to see that :) (but they probably just run and don't even post to it)
