face masks
fail to protect the healthy from getting sick, but they also create
serious health risks to the wearer. The bottom line is that if you are
not sick, you should not wear a face mask.

"Critics were quick to point out that this argument made no scientific
sense. While the virus itself can cause neurological damage in some
patients, its not because they re-breathe infected air trapped by a
mask€”a claim popularized by the conspiratorial YouTube documentary
Plandemic. Additionally, an April 2020 study in Science found that
surgical masks €śsignificantly reduced detection of influenza virus RNA
in respiratory droplets and coronavirus RNA in aerosols, with a trend
toward reduced detection of coronavirus RNA in respiratory droplets.€ť"
Using a quack to prove something merely proves you are a quack.
She's too stupid to be a quack.
Did you ever decide to look at the paper's cites?
Seems to me the scientific method is not in
you two. Just political correctness. And when
she eats your lunch the proper way with actual
science, you call her names.
