This is incorrect congressman. You may remember from medical school that masks reduce the spread of infections. In fact during COVID, masks have been shown to reduce the chance of infection by up to 83%. The better the mask, the better the protection.
WHY is the Biden administration arguing in federal court to FORCE masks back on to every commercial flight? This administration is completely out of touch with reality. Masks on planes do NOTHING! Totally useless!!

Infection for the patient? I don’t think you have Grade A evidence for that. Maybe you want to protect your nurse/lover’s hands with rubber gloves Dr. Halstead?

I suspect people still wearing masks also take other actions to prevent spread like staying home as much as possible, avoiding getting close to others, etc.

Thank you Jon for proving beyond a doubt that you are innumerate. If this garbage *survey-based* study with all sorts of confounders and whose results were not even statistical significant is the best evidence you can provide, you shouldn’t be opining on masks. Sit down.

Your figures are not backed up by the data. Masks have been one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated.

What a joke. Go back to dust off your research methods textbook from school and identify the methodology of this study... then acknowledge it has no scientific rigor whatsoever.

This is exactly how this works. The CDC promotes a trash study on masks not b/c they believe it but b/c it has an infographic they want to send out to politicians, who then point to it in their press conferences.

While that is true, Biden administration is not arguing for the benefits of masks
Its arguing to keep the exec power to flip-flop mask guidance, which that federal judge took away
No judge stopped Biden educating public on mask efficacy, they choose to be anti-mask

The fewer "aerosolized droplets" that contain the viral particles from entering the body, the better the odds of avoiding worse outcomes
1.N-95 mask has proved to be the HCW's most essential weapon.

N-95 masks work very well when worn properly. It is especially important for getting on and off when cabin air is off.

Lots of confounding variables there: how do you account for the less travel, less public interaction, more handwashing, and other behavioral shifts among those who mask ???

Masks really helped slow the spread in China, with its most recent wave. Give me a break.
Near 100% mask compliance in China and look at their astronomical positive case numbers...... Study that.

DR. Reiner , Why do you waste your energy trying to educate Twitter docs who got D or F in high school biology/ chemistry and physics? They decry science, but want “ best science “ when admitted to hospital or need surgery for themselves or family. Such hypocrites.

Correlation does not equal causation. Latest and largest Yale study shows cloth masks reduced covid symptoms by 5% and surgical masks 12%.

People who wear N95 masks all the time are also more likely to rarely leave home, order everything online and hide from life.

Agreed. I’m suspect of Ronnie Jackson’s medical bona fides. "Primum non nocere," do no harm, yet he persists to advocate in favor of harmful behavior. We can’t silence his bad advice, but the Medical Board can certainly revoke his certification.
