Loipisdead doesnt like me either
here is a mask update
as psychopaths work to bring back masks more evidence arrives its bad for you. the topic is called the "foegen effect" there are alot of articles out there on it. I only posted a short one for your convenience. :)
Facemasks and COVID-19 case fatality rate
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349858647_Facemasks_and_COVID-19_case_fatality_rateexcerpt: The cause of this trend and the possible connection between long-term effects associated with SARS-CoV-2 and facemasks are explained in the theory herein by the ‘foegen effect’; i.e., deep reinhalation of pure virions caught in the facemasks as droplets can worsen the prognosis.
seems to be the same principle that results in bacteria phenomenon. the body breathes stuff out to get rid of it. but with a mask on you just breath it right back in.
the article concludes
This finding suggests that the use of facemasks in COVID-19 pandemic did contribute to an increase in the death toll counterintuitive of its purpose, making mask mandates a highly debatable epidemiologic intervention.
