I have never agreed with mask mandates and agree that cloth facemasks are close to useless in stopping Covid, BUT this conclusion is utter nonsense. If it were true, you'd have a whole lot of very disoriented, sick and chronically ill surgeons and dentists in the country.

So Phizer is claiming the injection is 100% effective in children 12-15 years of age?

Do they have clinical test results from this age group?

How do they know this?

I live next door to a trauma nurse and up the street from a cardiologist and a endocrinologist and all of them peel and discard their masks immediately upon existing a hospital room. Additionally, these folks are predisposed to the reality of mask wear in everyday life, so they can hardly be compared to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that's being asked to mask up 24/7. There absolutely are impacts to this ridiculous mask mandates. What they end up being specifically, we'll know in a few years.

Yes, really. I've been a dentist since 1990. I can guarantee you that I spend more time every week wearing a mask than the overwhelming majority of people who have been masking since Covid. When a dentist is doing a procedure or a surgeon is in the OR, they are often masked for hours at a time. Several colleagues and I have done informal tests with pulse oximeters while wearing N95 masks for several hours straight. No effect whatsoever on O2 saturation. I know the meters aren't perfectly accurate, but they could sure as heck detect a level of hypoxia that would be harmful.

Again, mask mandates are stupid, but you aren't being poisoned by wearing one out shopping.
