The White House now concedes that COVID is spread primarily through aerosols. That is, in the air. Previously the CDC’s position was that COVID resided on water vapor. So, the narrative has changed yet again.
There’s a big difference between air and water vapor. A virus is 1 micron in size. More realistically, a SARS-CoV-2 virion is about 50–200nm, or 20% of 1 micron. The average size opening in your run-of-the-mill cloth/surgical mask is 80 microns.
I would hope you agree that something of 1 micron size (or smaller) can fit easily through something of 80 microns in size. So if a virus is spread through the air then that’s telling you that masks do absolutely nothing. They are for political theatre and control…nothing else.
Water vapor is about 62 microns in size. Although in theory N95 masks offer better protection and an argument could have been made for their use against water vapor, they still offer little protection against an airborne virus. Also, N95 masks need to be properly fitted in order to work as they should and very few people go through a proper fitting process before using them.
Masks were never proven to work. There was never any science behind the argument to support wearing them. In fact, most of the science supports reasons against their use as they’re unhealthy to wear long-term.
So if you’re still wearing a mask because you think it protects you from COVID, we have a course of action for you to take. First, remove the mask. Next, using your dominant hand swiftly smack yourself across your face. If you’ve left a red mark then you’ve done this step correctly. It’s time to wake up…stop being compliant for no reason.
If you’re someone who wears a mask alone while driving, you may require more smacks. We advise against this step when you’re actually driving. We care a lot.
