a recent study reported by the ncbi, which is under the national institutes of health, showed that masks do absolutely nothing to help prevent the spread of covid-19 and their use is even harmful.  nih published a medical hypothesis by dr. baruch vainshelboim.  noq report uncovered the study:  …a duckduckgo search reveals it [the study] was picked up by zero mainstream media outlets and big tech tyrants will suspend people who post it, as political strategist steve cortes learned the hard way when he posted a tweet that went against the face mask narrative. the tweet itself featured a quote and a link that prompted twitter to suspend his account, potentially indefinitely.  trending: "i went there for you my son" - j6 political prisoner chris quaglin was brutally beaten in jail and denied celiac-safe food - here is his heartfelt letter to his son on his first birthday -- please donate  the ncbi study begins with the following abstract:  many countries across the globe utilized medical and non-medical facemasks as non-pharmaceutical intervention for reducing the transmission and infectivity of [the] coronavirus disease-2019 (covid-19). although, scientific evidence supporting facemasks’ efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established. it has been hypothesized that facemasks have compromised safety and efficacy profile and should be avoided from use. the current article comprehensively summarizes scientific evidence[s] with respect to wearing facemasks in the covid-19 era, providing proper information for public health and decision making.  the study concludes (emphasis added):  the existing scientific evidence[s] challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for covid-19. the data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such sars-cov-2 and covid-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. these include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize [a] proper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.  here is the table for physiological and psychological effects of wearing a facemask:  here is the full study:  facemasks in the covid-19 era: a health hypothesis by baruch vainshelboim by jim hoft on scribd  what an absolute joke. america has been led down an insane path of wearing masks that according to this study don’t prevent the transmission of covid-19 and cause more health risk than ever imagined.  update: we reported this study was related to stanford university based upon the author’s bio in the report (cardiology division, veterans affairs palo alto health care system/stanford university, palo alto, ca, united states). however, stanford university now claims that dr. baruch vainshelboim was not connected with the university at the time of this study:
study results: facemasks are ineffective to block transmission of covid-19 and actually can cause health deterioration and premature death
