Should I Wear a Mask? What do 15 randomized studies say? Cochrane Review 2023

Masking for COVID? Should I wear a mask? Cochrane reviews are considered one of the best in evidence-based medicine. The medical community considers them the gold standard in medicine due to their methodology, thoroughness, and transparency. This past week they have updated their evidence on masking for influenza and COVID. It is based on randomized controlled studies not flawed, biased observational studies.

[@TheKinderdoc]

Thank you for this video. I am a 73 year old retired physician. Many years ago physicians were all required to attend a series of lectures on pandemic preparedness. I learned that regular surgical masks did little to nothing in prevention of contagion. When mask mandates came with covid pandemic, I was very skeptical, especially when the internet exploded with advice on making your own cloth masks (useless). Also, I was disgusted by how many people went around with their noses poking out over the top of their masks, or the mask hanging below their chin! I also noted constant touching and pulling at their masks, thus increasing contamination of their hands. I am aware of several studies that common cold viruses (many are coronavirus ) are primarily spread by touching, contact from contaminated hands. As a pediatrician, I saw thousands of children with colds, yet I rarely caught colds from my patients, due to careful hand hygiene. I thought all physicians should know these facts, and wondered why the medical providers and organizations did not speak out about this!?! I know that those who tried were bullied for doing so. 😬

Dr. thank you for speaking the truth! As a medic in the VietNam war, I was taught that a virus had no antidote, and you just had to outlast it, and the virus was much too small to be contained by the surgical face masks we used. The Medical profession went for the money that was offered for falling under the umbrella of untruths that the Government dumped on us, and if they wanted to get paid the big bucks, hospitals had to enforce the masking mandates. It has completely ruined the professions of medical personnel that fell for the crap, and chose to go with the money flow. Trust in the Medical community has been very badly compromised, and the real problem is that it won't be reinstated for generations because of the number of medical professionals who still subscribe to the foolishness of the masking mandates. Proof is that masks DO NOT stop the virus from spreading, nor do they keep one from being infected. Thanks again for being truthful.

Back in the 90's I was a paramedic, and one class we had to repeat every year to keep our license was to re-certify on the subject of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment). One of the very first things they teach you is cloth masks do NOT protect against viruses. Viruses pass through a cloth mask like water through a screen door. To illustrate how incredibly small a virus is, one instructor told us to imagine you are a virus, and and then imagine the buildings lining the roads are the fibers in a cloth mask. Now imagine walking down the CENTER of the street with your arms stretched out horizontally and try to touch the buildings on each side of the road with your finger tips. That's how easily a virus passes between the fibers of a cloth mask, almost like the fibers aren't even there.

People wore them because they were being threatened with fines and they didn't want the hassle of dealing with the authorities. I flew several times during covid, I never wore a mask, I was treated very poorly by airport security and the Police, I got some very interesting looks as I walked up the isle of the plane maskless, it's amazing how quickly people turn into sheep.

Their only purpose is to stop spit particles from hitting you or something your working on like maybe food prep when you are talking You are just as protected just putting your hand over your face. A surgeon doesn't wear a mask to protect you or him from a virus or disease but to not have spit particles going into a patient that he is operating on.

Hi Doc I'm a retired Firefighter and house painter on off days. I almost always used N95 masks when I would be prep sanding before putting a finish coat of paint on the trim. Now remember I was a Firefighter at the time so I used SCBA's almost every other day. I was personally fitted with a particular face mask so it would properly fit my face. The problem with the highly effective Self Contained Breathing Apparatus is that no matter how form fitting it is, when you turn your head your facial skin will deform and leaks occur. To combat that problem SCBA manufacturers started using Positive Pressure techniques. That is, when a leak occurred, and they ALWAYS DO, pressure in the mask was higher than the outside of the mask and so compressed air would flow out of the mask. That difference in Positive Pressure meant that no contamination would leak back into the mask. That is a life saving feature for Firefighters as we work in toxic atmospheres. Now with all that said, the next day I would go back to my house painting duties. I would put on a certified N95 mask and start prep sanding. At the end if the day, usually 7 to 8 hours of almost continuous sanding and use of an N95 mask, I would find a small trail of paint dust from sanding along the outside of the mask leading directly to the inside of each nostril. I tried for many weeks and probably months to stop that from happening. It is in my experience that the mask helped a little but, the end result was, I ALWAYS got paint dust in my nose and therefore into my respiratory system. Now, if we compare the particle size of paint dust, which BTW I we can actually see, to the vastly smaller size of ANY VIRUS, which one cant see without a highly sophisticated microscope, one can conclude it is FUTILE to try to keep out viral particles from entering into our respiratory system by wearing an N95 mask. So, I can say for me and my experiences, no mask, other than a certified SCBA utilizing Positive Pressure means, and fitted to the individual wearing it, would ever be protective enough to make any difference at all. I did not take the shot for Covid, and did not get covid. My years of study on the benefits of supplementation and the copious use of atomized spraying of Colloidal Silver into my nose, eyes, and throat while Breathing in, helped me, along with Trust and Prayer to my God for protection, was my go to intervention. Thanks for your views and analysis of these studies.

[@bhartley1024]

I remember thinking this in April 2020 as I was working on my boat in a boatyard, sanding blue bottom paint. Even wearing a dust mask, you still get dust in your nose. You blow your nose and it comes out blue. I don't understand how anyone who has ever done a dusty job with a mask on could ever think surgical masks could prevent covid.

[@simonsmith2492]

Hi, N95 filtering facepieces are better than loose-fitting surgical masks, but not perfect. Manufacturers cannot fit every facial size or shape even with a range of products, and for the highest protection, fit testing prior to use is best. Did this observation occur at work, where you were required to wear a respirator for the exposure that you faced? If so , then your employer should be following requirements set out in US regulations or Canadian standards covering medical evaluation, training, selection for type and appropriate size, fit testing - either with a bitter or sweet aerosol, or using an instrument, maintenance and record-keeping. A poor fit should be addressed under these protocols. If at home, you can possibly get improved fit by picking a size to best match your face, and donning and positioning straps in accordance with user instructions. You can assess fit with a seal check (blocking as much as possible and sharply breathing in or out) to see if there are any overt leaks before you use the product - manufacturers provide guidance on that and on adjustments to improve fit. Also changing the respirator if it gets obviously misshapen, dirty or hard to breathe through minimizes the chance of leakage around the seal. And being clean-shaven where the respirator contacts the face is necessary for a good seal. A better fit may be obtained by switching to a silicone or similar half-mask, which is more flexible than most filtering facepieces and can fit contours of the face better. Most come with one or two replaceable filters - N95s are available, but usually higher grade P100s are offered which have higher efficiency and protect against welding fume as well. Filters often last longer than a typical N95 filtering facepiece and can be replaced, while the mask part can be cleaned are re-used. For the long-term, such models may be more economical too, and if fitted with an exhalation valve, are often more comfortable. You can also fit them other types of filters, if needed, to remove odours for painting or varnishing jobs which N95s or P100s won't capture.

[@MsBiggles51]

@@johnbuchman4854 The studies only show whether something works, not how. There are interventions which are known to be effective, yet the mechanism remains unknown. This is the case for many medications for cancer to general anaesthesia drugs. In this case, respiratory diseases also spread when droplets land on a person's hands and they rub their eyes, mouth and nose, which could be why regular handwashing helps to reduce the spread. Covering the mouth any nose with cloth has only been studied here, yet other countries tried plastic face shields. It would be interesting to see if they have any effect. They might stop droplets from getting into the eyes, or just stop the person from touching their face. I personally doubt it would have a significant effect, but it would be nice to have evidence.

At the beginning of the Covid mess, I asked a friend who works in a bio lab questions about masks. They work with all kinds of viruses as well as other research. She said that when they are working with viruses the ONLY way to not get exposed is with full "hazmat" type suits. A cloth mask or paper mask cannot stop the tiny particles of viruses. Then on top of that she said that people going around with masks are actually "trapping" other things and that those types of masks if they are to stop anything such as pollen or dust, have to be changed quite often or they are useless as well. So, None of our family did the mask thing except to be able to enter a business and we kept full boxes of them as well as latex gloves in our car. I thought then that gloves were going to be much more useful as our hands touch so many things when we are out and about. When we exited a business the gloves and the mask were put into zip lock bags and thrown in the trash in our garage when we got home. We had one family member just starting cancer treatments with Chemo and Radiation. His cancer doctors advised him not to get the shots. Over the course of Covid and as recently as last spring all three of us tested positive and the only one that did have any symtoms at all was the person going through cancer treatments. It was not bad and he got over it in less than 8 days, myself and the other person in our home never had any symptoms at all even though we tested positive. So, my conclusion that masks are not helpful still stands and if it happens that businesses demand mask wearing to enter, I will go back to ordering most of what we need online and having it delivered. We are retired so it is not a problem to simply stay out of public unless really necessary to do so. None of us got the shots either and do not plan to do so. My daughter who has MS of the episodic type took the shots and her MS went from zero problems for years to now she has had three serious remissions since taking the shots. I begged her to not take them, but she fell prey to the panic. Now she wishes she had not taken them. It has now been found that not only blood clots, or cardiac problems have happened even causing death, but that anyone with a neurological problems such as MS probably should not take the shots. We keep our immune systems healthy y not eating junk, we get plenty of exercise and we also take supplements such as Vit D and Zinc AFTER we have had the right bloodwork done to determine if we are low on vitamins or minerals and we do so as our own family doctor directs us. The human body was created to self cure itself in most ways, so I am sticking with the Creator's plan of taking care of the body I have been given and not abusing foods or drugs that interfere with the body's ability to heal itself.

It had a typically 2wk symptom period. Never was able to go back and figure out what it was. But I only had symptoms for 1.5days. But our response was to let it run its course and burn itself out. That's when my fascination with infectious disease, quarantine, etc. began. Studying events like the Black Plague, Small Pox in teh Americas, Ebola outbreaks, and more. Why did I have symptoms for so short a time when everyone else was averaging 2wks? So I started studying immune systems and factors. I've kept up with this stuff ever since, multiple decades now.

All her vaccinated co-workers still had to wear a mask, so no advantage there - but they also all got terrible bouts of COVID which she avoided.

Oral Health Review had a great study on masks by dentists. The conclusion of the study found they didn't stop transmission of anything. This was in 2016 - and unfortunately they took the article about the study down during the pandemic due to "the climate" - in other words it would have been politically incorrect to leave it up. It's a black eye to OH that they took it down. It was an excellent article. Masks don't work for people in everyday life because the masks they were encouraging us to wear didn't stop viruses in the first place - and everyone isn't wearing the accompanying garb: booties, gowns, bonnets, goggles, gloves, etc., and are picking up the aerosols on their clothing, skin, hair, etc., and getting viral particles in other mucous membranes like eyes. they are also transferring viral particles and aerosols to other locations because they don't change like nurses and doctors in hospitals do. It's shameful that health officials didn't think about this when they were forcing masks on all of us. Someone should have known - or perhaps they did and just wanted to control us anyway.

No bullying, hectoring or intimidation should be allowed in any workplace but it does happen. The hand washing item is interesting. I have seen mask wearers constantly rubbing their hands on their faces and then handling items such as pens doorknobs etc, thus spreading infection by this route. It is part of mask protocol NOT to touch the mask once put on and to sanitise hands before and after donning and doffing the mask.

Most healthcare establishments have infection control programs, of which some kind of mask wear, under prescribed circumstances, is usually a part. Compliance is always an issue in such programs. But if compliance is good they can help to reduce infections, both to staff and between patients. The benefit is rather limited for viral agents, but those certainly aren't the only ones present in clinical settings. General public mask wear is useless at limiting aggregate infection rates though.

Pretty much every argument from both sides was centrally planned to be fall back after fall back each pushing towards the goals. Note it is a fall back that was used by the supposed opposition that was the preferable fallback to the one used by advocates. The chain link fence argument helps to promote tightening of the material which would increase the level of co2 breathed whereas the droplets argument undermines tightening. It is however the apparent position of the CDC,, WHO, NIH, NHS etc who are not here pointing it out. They are perfectly happy with the fallback of chainlink fence despite the negative impact of tight materials on health.

Thanks so much for this information. Three major harms of masks are (1) the political harm of compelling people to do an intervention which damages personal freedom, sometimes even using brutality and force tactics (2) the serious psychological harm of having everyone covering their face in public (and frightening millions into doing so in private as well). The worst damage would be to young people and very small children, but we are all harmed by not seeing human faces. Our social order is already very disconnected and mechanized, and masking only makes this terrible situation worse. (3) Last, masks have also proven to be yet another source of personal and political polarization which further fractures an already disunited country. I would point out that all three of these harms benefit political leftism, which serves as by far the most plausible explanation of why it was so heavily pushed by globalist types of politicians.

@@SALTYCOMBATDIVER-ExInstructor - Epidemiology/immunology is a complex not well understood field of medicine. Most Drs and their underlings have a rudimentary understanding at best. The general public knows very little. That’s how the purveyors bamboozled almost everyone and those that did understand were afraid to speak up. The pandemic was a well planned event.

A "new" strain of covid is running rampant throughout the nursing home I'm working at. I REFUSE to wear any type of face diaper. I work 3 - 11pm. At the end of my shift Saturday night I was running a fever, and when I got home my temperature was 102.5. I went to my doctor on Sunday afternoon and when I got tested, was positive for covid. Though the required covid test before my the start of my shifts on Friday and Saturday were negative. When I go back to work, I will still refuse to wear the face diaper. With the first round of the covid, it was almost 2 years after the mandatory lock downs, that I got that strain of covid, I spent 2 weeks in the hospital, on oxygen, and blood thiners, and have no idea where I was exposed. This time the symptoms are like a bad head cold. The only thing against me is that I'm also fighting my first case of shingles.

You're a sick person. If you're working with the elderly you should do anything you can that MIGHT POSSIBLY keep them safe, IT"S YOUR DAMN JOB. They are far more vulnerable than you are. Good luck with those shingles, you certainly deserve them.

I feel like I've been the victim of a confidence trickster and this now results in no trust of politicians, government agencies and all forms of media. I also feel a great deal of resentment towards those that had so much to say for themselves during the pandemic. You know the people that did all they could to silence, belittle, discredit and abuse those people that pointed out some unexplained anomalies, or the outright stupidity of many of the rules. These people behaved just like CPP foot soldiers.

It's time for Doctors to band together in large groups and make thier voices heard. If the compliance continues it will only give more momentum to those trying to control the masses for thier own sinister benefits. The longer this goes on the respect and trust levels for healthcare professionals will continue it's downward avalanche. Thanks Doc.

[@bobbycecere1037]

Doctors banding together in large groups to make their voices heard have already happened. Twice if I'm not mistaken. The first group declared publicly that racism is more of a danger than Covid19. The response to that information was to gather in the thousands in the streets to protest. (Yes - during a pandemic )That alone changed my perception of the disease.

[@bobbycecere1037]

The second group of doctors wrote the Barrington declaration. THEY were the ones following the science. They were mostly ignored and marginalized. The prominent doctors in the group were attacked viciously. They either lost their positions in prestigious institutions or were threatened with losing them. The medical industry literally turned on them. And now, years later, we know they were absolutely the correct ones

Have you read the links provided? The 2020 Cochran report states they have low confidence in the results due to low compliance with mask wearing and hand washing during the trials. Dr Moran never mentioned that and yet it is highly significant because high compliance is necessary for mask wearing to be effective. I wouldn’t trust what he says in his videos.

my own experience with masks > mask exempt due to COPD. Forced to wear one in hospital after a series of heart attacks, after 30 seconds the mask comes off because my nose started to bleed ! History > worked construction for 30 years. wore masks when sanding for paint. Painted 5 years and used the masks for that job also > When i did use them this is what i saw. Take the mask off at the end of the work day and BLOW the CRAP out of my sinuses that the mask DID NOT stop ! drywall dust, paint particles NOT stopped by the mask. My own experience is valid and reason enough to NOT use them ! You figure it out !

What I find so frustrating was the lack of consideration for the costs associated with mask wearing. As a high school teacher (who also happens to be an economist), I am acutely aware of the fact that we are social beings and that when we wear masks we impair our ability to connect and to communicate, which are essential to teaching and learning. Our so-called "leaders" failed an entire generation of children. They should be ashamed.

[@whomeverwherever]

I know of kids that refused to go to school, instead choosing homeschooling, due to the anxiety attacks mask-wearing caused them. All of this nonsense has been beyond evil, though I am a little glad more kids are now out of the corrupt school systems. They do, however, still need regular social interaction. It’s vital.

That small group of conservatives loves the Bill of Rights loves America and loves it.

It was maddening, but there were times back in 2020 where I couldn't find a clean mask in my car and I really needed to get something in a specific store that required masks. By April 2021 though I 100% refused no matter what. There are still some businesses I refuse to enter to this day because they turned me away when I refused to put one on even in mid to late 2021. It honestly gets my blood pressure up when I sometimes see a person still wearing them in 2023. I think those are the same idiots who wore masks by themselves in their cars. I suspect we'll still see people wearing them in 2030. It's scary how easily some people can be manipulated.

@@christr and despite all the touching and fidgeting that people do with them, they still think they are making them safe. And there are no "outside the lab" studies that show that they actually work to prevent viral infections whereas there *are* studies that show that they do not. I would expect to see some kind of radar blip in the case loads between when they were mandated by states and not mandated. The data is there for everyone to see, but they won't analyze it. And, the last I checked, there were still 400+ people dying each day from the 'rona, but apparently now, it's not a big deal for most people out there. Maybe that number has dropped now, but it is also a helluva coincidence that people shut up right when the Ukraine war started. It was literally overnight. But they kept saying to "follow the science". I also do not go to stores that harassed me into using them.
