   With such slim pickings you’d have thought this would have been featured?

      Gimp mask would be safer, especially with the nose holes sealed.

   John asserts that he is “not in any significant danger..once everybody else is wearing a mask”. Seems that his belief in the power of masks to stop the spread of respiratory viruses has taken on a religious fervor.

      better than the belief that masks reduce oxygen levels..

      Yes, religious fervour ususally deals in gradations of likelihood.

   Here’s an Evidence Based Scientific Analysis of Why Masks are Ineffective, Unnecessary, and Harmful

      Even for surgeons, masks mostly not useful

      Although wearing a mask during a clean surgery is unnecessary, there are other surgical cases in which surgical masks, eye protection, and face shields are still a good idea. For example, cases in which bone saws, drills, and other surgical power tools can expose the surgical team to splashes and splatters from the patient’s bodily fluids.

      If a surgeon were sick, especially with a viral infection, they would not perform surgery as they know the virus would NOT be stopped by their surgical mask.

            Plenty of peer reviewed studies shared in it too.

   So tried following the “citations” on that page. Some were Facebook links, few were even peer-reviewed. Then looked up this Jim Meehan character and found this:

   Reminiscent of Dolores Cahill using her professorial status to spread misinformation.

      So you don’t like the guy.

      But do you actually have any science to contradict what he is saying about masks?

         I could have sworn I had an unopened bag of it in the press but it seems I was wrong.

         Sorry, all out.

         :(

      If you can’t debunk his arguments then don’t bother commenting.

   The Pope was also against wearing condoms.
