I was sending masks to my paranoid family yesterday (I bought N95 masks while the Wu Flu was still only in China), and I saw that the masks with valves are “banned” in some areas because the unfiltered air escapes... If people actually used common sense, they would ask things like “If unfiltered air is a problem, how would a cheap non-filtering cloth mask actually protect a person?” Or “How can a non-filtering cloth mask protect other people from you if the disease can be airborne?” The left is creating pseudoscience narrative bullshit by over-exaggerating the effectiveness of the mask. Whenever the narrative changes for why a mask is important, they just roll with it and pretend that the new “facts” were the truth the whole time.
It is truly a sight to behold. Logic dictates that surgical style masks are good for keeping spittle and perhaps large droplets contained in the event of a cough or a sneeze. I would want my surgeon to wear a mask while operating on me.
But wearing a surgical style mask for about 30 seconds is enough for me to realize that they are useless for containing a virus. They leak like a sieve, they trigger me to sneeze more often than I would otherwise, I can't sneeze into my shoulder any more, the list goes on.
I also have a small supply of high end N95 masks. I was wearing them when the virus first broke out when people were "collapsing in the streets" in Asia. But I haven't bothered in months now.
The masks don't contain breath, it all just vents out of the sides and some even perforates through the mask itself. If this weren't the case, people simply wouldn't be able to breath. I don't see how venting through the sides of your face instead of at a downward angle like the nostrils are at is effective in anyway. If anything it seems like it might be worse.
And it's not like the mask "catches" the moisture or anything like that. Like sure, a negligible amount is left on the mask (that builds over time and causes pneumonia) but all the air flow rushing past the mask is still carrying most of it. This is acutely obvious to anyone who wears glasses since they tend to fog every breath unless you use adhesives or beat the metal thingie into place particularly enough.
Add into it that people are touching it constantly and then touching other things and just plain out wearing it incorrectly or temporarily removing it constantly, over-wearing masks, etc.. I just don't see how it doesn't end up being even worse.

This is one of the reasons I am black pilled.
