The medical community not wearing masks is not safe, not intelligent enough to actually effectively care for you, cannot be trusted ethically in the charge of your care, and should be written off as reckless vectors of disease, chronic illness, and death at every level from EMT to MD/DO.

From the CDC to your general practitioner.

My doctor resigned in protest of unsafe working conditions, and his replacement is an unmasked clown.

Close to correct and yet completely misses the point. The solution to the inadequacy of surgical masks to prevent infection from an airborne virus isn't "no masks", it's proper N95 rated masks which are effective, not exclusively to but especially in high risk medical settings.

I got my information from a couple of Swedish doctors, the science about masks differs here from that in USA.

this is what I read:

...The filter size of a surgical mask is about 15,000-30,000 nanometers (nm), or one billionth of a meter, while a coronavirus is in the order of 60-130 nm. So the actual holes in the mask, or the distance between the fibers, are 1,000 times larger than the virus particle itself!

...Of course, the virus particles do bind to dust grains and also to small water droplets, but even these are much smaller (1,000 - 5,000 nm) than the filter size of the mask. If we consider that a surgical mask cannot be completely sealed either, it becomes even more obvious that they have no effect.

@otso @hannu_ikonen Those are all completely valid criticisms of surgical masks. They are not designed nor certified for protections from airborne viruses. N-95s work on a completely different different principle and actually do provide effective protection. I recommend the video I have linked here if you want to better understand how N-95s work.

>N-95s work on a completely different different principle and actually do provide effective protection.

we are talking about two different things,
when people talk about masks these days it has to do with Covid-19 in most cases.

you say that

>They are not designed nor certified for protections from airborne viruses.

I don't know about other uses, I am no doctor or nurse or anything

I am familiar with the mRNA vaccine critics like Robert W Malone, Steve Kirsch and others

they are falsely called for "Anti-vaxxers"

I have spread their propaganda and I still do.

@otso @hannu_ikonen Covid is an airborne virus and requires airborne virus countermeasures. The only masks we *should* be talking about in regards to covid are N-95 rated (or better). Talking about surgical masks in regards to covid makes no sense unless you're a time traveller from the first half of 2020.
@mnemonicoverload @hannu_ikonen

during these Covid years I never saw more than 5-10 people wearing masks here in Sweden
@otso @hannu_ikonen Masking was near universal here in Canada from mid-2020 until spring 2022 (and still ongoing in most healthcare settings).
