This analysis summarizes 42 studies on the efficacy of masks. Even though it was written in July it is still very relevant today, especially concerning the recent mandates and dangerous recommendations being dictated to us through the mainstream media with regards to wearing multiple masks.

At this writing, there is a recent surge in widespread use by the public of facemasks when in public places, including for extended periods of time, in the United States as well as in other countries. The public has been instructed by media and their governments that one’s use of masks, even if not sick, may prevent others from being infected with SARS-CoV-2, the infectious agent of COVID-19.
A review of the peer-reviewed medical literature examines impacts on human health, both immunological, as well as physiological. The purpose of this paper is to examine data regarding the effectiveness of facemasks, as well as safety data. The reason that both are examined in one paper is that for the general public as a whole, as well as for every individual, a risk-benefit analysis is necessary to guide decisions on if and when to wear a mask.

Out of the hundreds of millions (or billions) of people around the world wearing masks for lengthy periods of time, I wonder how many will suffer long term affects. The medical establishment and big pharma may be getting a lot of new, otherwise healthy customers. Between damage from masks and these new vaccines, we may be looking at a new boon for the medical industry. (And a dismal time for much of humanity.)
