As far as the Covid plandemic went, the facemask fetish irritated me greatly, since I knew from my career in nursing, at least until marriage and children, that masks were fragile and failed. There are may reasons for his, but the main one is that masks get contaminated quickly and need to be regularly replaced, which usually they are not done by non-health care professionals. The ordinary people often keep the same one on all day, which comes to concentrate the viruses in the fabric.
It is therefore no surprise to learn that a study by Norwegian researchers found that Covid infections were higher in those wearing facemasks, compared to those seldom or never wearing them, by 40 percent. This questions the adoption now of face masks in hospitals in South Australia and Western Australia, where we can be sure that not all wearers are going to be observing proper procedure, and in any case, other studies have questioned the utility of such masks, such as a major report in the Cochrane Review last year.
