Study proves that wearing a mask in the classroom ensures a safe and secure environment! Not for your kids, for pneumonia-causing bacteria.
Masks may be ineffective, but at least they make things worse!
But forced public masking was a good thing, right? https://t.co/koqkwebh4f

A group of parents in Gainesville, FL, concerned about potential harms from masks, submitted six face masks to a lab for analysis. The resulting report found that five masks were contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and fungi, including three with dangerous pathogenic and pneumonia-causing bacteria.
Do you know what the mortality rate is for the elderly admitted to a hospital with Covid?
11.0%
Want to know what it is for pneumonia?
30.0%
Out: Wear a mask or you hate grandma.
In: Wear a mask because you hate grandma.
The study was a very small one, consisting of six masks in total. Four were the surgical type and two were cloth with one being worn by an adult. Brand new unworn masks were tested as a control along with a T-shirt one of the children had worn.
The face masks studied were new or freshly-laundered before wearing and had been worn for 5 to 8 hours, most during in-person schooling by children aged 6 through 11. One was worn by an adult. A t-shirt worn by one of the children to school and unworn masks were tested as controls. No pathogens were found on the controls; samples from the front top and bottom of the t-shirt found proteins that are commonly found in skin and hair, along with some commonly found in soil.
Although small, it appears to have been well done and the tests were performed by a credible lab. (Report here.)
It also confirms pretty much what everyone who still retains critical thinking skills has known from the beginning.
Not only that, but the results weren't even close.
Half of the masks were contaminated with one or more strains of pneumonia-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with one or more strains of meningitis-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. In addition, less dangerous pathogens were identified, including pathogens that can cause fever, ulcers, acne, yeast infections, strep throat, periodontal disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and more.
Oops?
Keep in mind, these kids weren't touring the Wuhan Institute of Virology, or visiting Hunter Biden for the weekend. They were in school.
This is what was found in the masks:
Some commenters have pointed out that this is no big deal as many of these pathogens were likely harbored by the wearers themselves in the first place.
Nothing to see here, we truly are all awash in a sea of bacteria, and fungi. The only difference is that we're collecting all those organism and concentrating them in a warm and moist medium in which they can flourish and reproduce unabated while held in close proximity to our noses and mouths.
Why, is that a problem?
These results were tested on fresh masks worn for just one day. Can you imagine the results if tested on the typical mask as actually used? You know, the cloth mask you forgot to wash the night before, or week before, or perhaps never and you don't recall it being green when you bought it?
Or how about the "disposable" mask that you use day after day until the ear loops disintegrate or you notice the bacteria flourishing in the folds has advanced to the point of having developed a written language and and is engaging in a primitive form of agriculture.
That's why real-world results never live up to the ideal, because the real world is never ideal. In the real world, masks don't slow the spread of COVID.
One day we will look back on all of this and realize everything we were told was a lie.

Masks Didn't Slow COVID Spread: New Study https://t.co/AdU4jGgF2u
Speaking of COVID, care to take a guess as to what they didn't find on the masks?
Although the test is capable of detecting viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, only one virus was found on one mask (alcelaphine herpesvirus 1).
So, to recap: In order for children to be in the classroom, we are having them wrap their faces in paper and fabric Petri dishes soaked in pathogens in order to protect them from a virus that isn't in the classroom, or if it is in the classroom, isn't being stopped by the masks anyway.

More like science and witchcraft.

That's the difference between "science," and "sCieNCe."

It's mind-boggling how many people still believe that masks prevent the spread of covid. Most of them are totally unaware of any evidence to the contrary, and they call you all kinds of unflattering names if you cite public health experts who say masking is ineffective at best.
