Dr. Sherri Tenpenny: Masks Don’t Protect
Over the last several months, the battle lines regarding COVID19 have been drawn around the concept of masking. Wearing a mask has become a symbol of staying together, of “doing something” to protect someone from getting sick with this generally mild infection.
The behavior of those who obsessively wear a mask, and scream at others who don’t, seem similar to those who vaccinate their children but forbid unvaccinated children in their playdates. I want to respond the same to both groups: “If your mask is protecting you, why are you concerned that I’m putting myself at risk of the flu? ” (similar to “if your vaccines work, what are you worried about?”)
Wearing a mask has almost become nearly a cult-like participation and for some, masking seems to be a new fashion statement. There’s even a name given to those who refuse to wear a mask: bare face. Many governors have made masks mandatory, even if they have no legislative authority to do so.
I’ve spent the last two days combing the medical literature, search for scientific proof that masks do what we are told they do: stop the spread of infection and protect the person who wears the mask from becoming ill. After reviewing more than 50 articles, here’s what I’ve discovered:
- There are NO randomized, controlled trials (RCT) with verified outcomes that show a benefit to healthcare workers or community members for wearing a mask or a respirator. There is no such definitive study. Likewise, no study exists that shows a benefit from a broad policy to wear masks in public (documented below).
- Furthermore, if there were any benefits to wearing a mask, because of the blocking power against droplets and aerosol particles, then there should be more benefit from wearing a respirator (N95) compared to a surgical mask. There is not. Neither masks nor respirators protect; cloth coverings are essentially worthless.
- It should be noted that the surgical masks are primarily designed to protect the environment from the wearer, whereas the respirators are supposed to protect the wearer from the environment. (Balazy, et al).
- Coronavirus are <0.125 microns in size. Masks and respirators filter particles 0.30 to 0.80 microns in size. Masks cannot possibly work. No bias-free study has ever found a benefit from wearing a mask or respirator in this application.
The pdf document found Here: Masks-Final has detailed references to back up these assertions. It’s time for us to revolt against the tyranny of our “rulers” with science that supports our decision to breathe oxygen, eliminate carbon dioxide and support a healthy immune system.

Dr Sherri Tenpenny has been outspoken critic of voodoo vaccination since linking forced, experimental anthrax inoculations on US servicemen for Iraq War One, and the resulting, multigenerational Gulf War Syndrome, caused by the medical crime syndicate.
End monopolist directed pharmaceutical tyranny.

THE FACE BURKA: the same kind of basically arbitrary oppression as imposed by another religion.
The hypercapnia, increased blood CO2, that masks cause raises one’s heart rate, breathing rate and blood pressure and this, in turn, causes a sense of stress, which is simply not good for anyone. It is seriously underplayed that, for some, wearing a mask gives the wearer a false sense of security, making effective fools out of them for thinking so—sort of like having a rabbit’s foot keychain for good luck. For others, there is a clear sense of fear when they are wearing a mask and another is not, as it makes their mask seem extraneous in their minds. Then, there is the clear sense of oppression and having to kowtow to authority for its arbitrary imposition of a useless mandate. None of this is mentally healthy for the individual.
What would be the backlash if the government suddenly mandated that everyone had to wear blue jeans? It’s the same thing. Arbitrary and oppressive, but you can comply and virtue signal your sheeple status. From a practical point of view, since masks are essentially useless against an infectious virus, politicians find that forcing the wearing of masks is the most obvious form of virtue signaling, albeit useless and healthy for healthy people.

As I have said many times about the N95 respirator, it IS better than a surgical mask, but it is only expected to be “at least” 95% effective against the particles that it is rated for. That means it is allowing “as much” as 5% of it to pass. And as she says, viruses are much smaller than the mask is rated for. And the same goes for your exhalation. But take a look at most people that wear either type of mask. There is a metal strip in the top that you use to attempt to seal against your nose and bring the top edge down on to your cheeks. Most people never squeeze it, so wearing it is really only keeping their own spittle from flying since most of the air they are breathing in or out will bypass the mask as it flows out through the opening around their nose.
But on another subject, I recently watched a video saying that they were going to start testing a group of volunteers who were volunteering to be infected by the virus so that “scientists” could better understand the evolution of how the virus affects people, and how well the trial vaccines work. My question is WHEN did they isolate the virus and purify it? I haven’t heard of it happening, and as of as late as last week, I hadn’t seen any article that implied they had any more than found RNA pieces that they identified as probably being part of the virus.

Masks are a red herring.
99.9% of people infected with SARS-Cov2 won’t die and probably not notice they had been “infected”.
99.9% of the population has been quarantined for being healthy.
They really are the only stats you need to know.

Tom, do you have peer reviewed research to illustrate that the N95 respirator works.

Hi,
There’s one aspect of mask-wearing nobody seems considered yet. If we indeed are to be “reset” soon and if we are to be monitored, the face recognition software (I’m aware of) would not work very well with the entire population wearing masks, respirators, shields etc. I guess, that when that time comes, face covering may become illegal, not enforced.
Cheers,
JaKo

Why is there no mention here, that even if masks are effective, the virus can still enter through our eyes, so we should also be wearing goggles.
Personally, I think a snorkel outfit is best and with extended flippers we could automatically ensure social distancing. Politicians should be first to try it out.
