Data shows people who wore masks got covid more often.
Experts are baffled!
People who wore protective masks were found to be more likely to contract COVID-19 infections than those who didn't, according to a recent Norwegian study.
Among individuals who “never or almost never” wore masks, 8.6 percent tested positive. That rose to 15 percent among participants who “sometimes” used masks, and to 15.1 percent among those who “almost always or always” wore them.
Adjusting for factors such as vaccination status, the study determined that individuals who sometimes or often wore masks had a 33 percent higher incidence of COVID-19, compared to those who never or almost never wore masks. This jumped to 40 percent among people who almost always or always wore them.
Exactly. I know I repeat myself a lot, but I don't know who is reading. I taught patient care; including the proper use of a medical mask, germ theory, sterile technique, and proper use of PPE. (personal protective equipment)
Them pushing for everyone to use a mask is how I KNEW they were lying 100% about COVID.
Once a mask is donned, the wearer can not touch the face of their mask with their grubby hands. Even if worn properly, a mask protects against bacteria, not viruses. Bacteria are roughly 100x larger than viruses on average. A virus isn't much more than a very complex molecule it is so simple. A virus is not a living thing it is so simple.

Not with a mask we didn't. In this case, an improperly used mask is worse than doing nothing.
Of course lay people touch the face of their masks and re-use masks. A mask is not a magic shield. I does not KILL viruses. A mask becomes a "fomite" when used improperly. fomites - objects or materials which are likely to carry infection, such as clothes, utensils, and furniture
This works much better; particularly with winter coming. Be careful what you touch (like handrails), wash your hands frequently, and keep that "booger hook" out of your nose as there is little protection against pathogens once they get into your nose.
