mech engineers take a 'fluids' course and i think it had a few hours on gas fluids..... not sure what nye got out of it.

if masks (medics use much better than the paper) work then medics would never have gotten the vaccine!

all the virus needs is to attach in mucus and work in to the blood nearby.

bill is embarrassing, those who believe him are naïve. i went through gas mask training in the usaf. the eyes (tear duct mucosa) are a path for infection as well as chemical attack. the military mask is strong filter, the eyes in tight goggles..... we were taught how to don and remove to minimize exposure, not trivial!

paper or cloth masks do not filter, and intake is not going to be without all the .06 micron viruses with in reach of the suction... the eyes would absorb as well.

the image of ppe working in medical use is false as they use well fitted n95 or better with eye protection, disrobe in a decontaminating setting and we saw infections in that sample group.

population observations show no or negative correlation of mask mandates, implying more masking is less than useful.

influencing people to think masks work may increase people exposing themselves in environments they have no protection.....

more vaxxes to sell!

And lets not forget medical facilities generally have engineering controls (negative pressure rooms for example) that help mitigate aerosols and/or airborne pathogens. Ventilation (which is actually effective) was barely mentioned at all.

"influencing people to think masks work may increase people exposing themselves in environments they have no protection..."

And then some ask how masks can cause harm...false sense of safety.

"My mask protects you, your mask protects me" is probably downright criminal. This lured many folks in the risk group into a false sense of safety, and continued performing activities with a high risk of contagion.

Same with “I got vaccinated to protect everyone around me.” And “we’re in this together.” Doh

Possibly if it 'blocked air flow really effectively', the wearer would drop dead. Which sort of sums up the thought behind the whole thing. 'Masks work' if the populace is completely stupid.

Exactly, air has to come out somehow. In one of Emily's videos, she is wearing one of those medical grade N95. Surprise...smoke still leaks outside.

Do you know the breakdown of infection acquisition? I read somewhere recently that the majority of transmission occurred in homes, hospitals, and care facilities from extended and intimate contact.

I don't think we really understand how this virus is transmitted. Some people with infection don't transmit the virus to anyone, even with higher viral load as evidenced by symptoms. Some people go on to infect many people. It's very strange.

The world shut down because asymptomatic infected people were spreading contagion to unsuspecting grandmas, which was a bold face lie...and they knew it. For a time, we were told that contact transmission was a big risk, and idiot "doctor experts" demonstrated how to wipe down groceries safely. Now we're told useless masks are the answer.

How does this virus transmit from person to person? And what really happened in Wuhan, Milan, and NYC?

IDK but stopping it is an inside job, not outside. Don’t be a fat ass. Don’t eat junk. Don’t skip your vitamins and supplements. Don’t miss doing exercise of some kind. Don’t be a scaredy-cat. And especially don’t listen to the “experts.”

What are good supplements and vitamins?

Low vitamin D3 leaves are associated with poor Covid outcomes.

Isn’t that interesting? I take that one.

Also a good marker for metabolic diseases like obesity.

I am so proud to know Emily! She is a major vox clamantis in deserto here in Massachusetts.

Which is exactly what all of us have expected all along.

I'd like to see that woman's demonstration running 27/7 on the Times Square jumbotron. All the Little Red Guards would shit the bed.

Nye makes my skin crawl. Just like that DeGrasse Tyson. Well paid pseudo scientism.
