WHO: You Do NOT Need to Wear a Mask
The World Health Organization admits there is no scientific medical reason for any healthy person to wear a mask outside of a hospital. Sadly, our corrupt politicians and mainstream media only relate the bad news.
If you do not have any respiratory symptoms, such as fever, cough, or runny nose, you do not need to wear a medical mask. When used alone, masks can give you a false feeling of protection and can even be a source of infection when not used correctly.
The most recent press announcement is at www.who.int
Update & Correction (January 26, 2021): Our apologies for omitting a reference for the above. The following is added as evidence on current WHO advice:
Last month (December, 2020) WHO issued the following advice that masks are only of some benefit if used in conjunction with a range of other measures and of limited value.
WHO tells us that:
“…the use of a mask alone, even when correctly used (see below), is insufficient to provide an adequate level of protection for an uninfected individual or prevent onward transmission from an infected individual.” [1]
As Dr Joseph Mercola, who analysed the WHO advice pointed out in WHO Admits: Not Clear Masks Prevent Viral Infection’
“….the literature rather strongly suggests the usefulness of masks depends on a significant number of factors — type, fit, length of use, purpose and circumstances — which are effectively impossible to account for in public universal-masking policies.
The science, contrary to the ignorant platitudes we are bombarded with, has NOT proven that universal masking is effective for viral containment, and has instead provided substantial grounds for skepticism of such a policy.”
[1] ‘Mask use in the context of COVID-19 Interim guidance’, December 01, 2020, https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/337199/WHO-2019-nCov-IPC_Masks-2020.5-eng.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y
Update January 30, 2021:
So angered that our original link to the latest WHO press announcement did not contain a specific suggestion for people not to wear masks USATODAY and other haters have been on our case saying we ‘lied’ and WHO did not say you did not need to wear a mask.
Well, to all you misinformed haters, you are clearly not good at checking your facts because in December 2020 WHO stated that:
“…the use of a mask alone, even when correctly used (see below), is insufficient to provide an adequate level of protection for an uninfected individual or prevent onward transmission from an infected individual.”
Moreover, Dr. Mike Ryan, an epidemiologist who specializes in infectious diseases and public health and who is the executive director of the WHO health emergencies program is on record stating that:
“WHO stands by recommendation to not wear masks if you are not sick or not caring for someone who is sick. There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there’s some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly” (source).
USATODAY have written to us saying they are going to do a ‘fact check’ hit piece on us. We gladly welcome them addressing this important topic and will be delighted to offer further scientific evidence that mask wearing is nothing more than a ‘talisman’ and will likely do more harm than good for healthy, uninfected wearers.

It is a pity that you cannot give the time in the video where this statement was made. I found a discussion on masks at about 44min and did not make the statement you claim. It said masks are part of a number of measures that work together.

??? It is in the paper that is linked. Actually in whole context it is even worse. LOL
A mask
alone, even when it is used correctly, is insufficient to
provide adequate protection or source control. Other
infection prevention and control (IPC) measures include
hand hygiene, physical distancing of at least 1 metre,
avoidance of touching one’s face, respiratory etiquette,
adequate ventilation in indoor settings, testing, contact
tracing, quarantine and isolation. Together these
measures are critical to prevent human-to-human
transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

This is written in the linked PDF:
“In areas of known or suspected community or cluster
SARS-CoV-2 transmission:
WHO advises that the general public should
wear a non-medical mask in indoor (e.g. shops,
shared workplaces, schools – see Table 2 for
details) or outdoor settings where physical
distancing of at least 1 metre cannot be
maintained.
If indoors, unless ventilation has been be
assessed to be adequate
1
, WHO advises that the
general public should wear a non-medical mask,
regardless of whether physical distancing of at
least 1 metre can be maintained. “

* Is breathing air with less than 19.5% oxygen content dangerous?
* https://www.bitchute.com/video/7o9AnLo3PoFc/
* The rulemaking record for the Respiratory Protection Standard clearly justifies adopting the requirement that air breathed by employees must have an oxygen content of at least 19.5 percent. A lesser concentration of oxygen in employees’ breathing air could endanger them physiologically and diminish their ability to cope with other hazards that may be present in the workplace. The rulemaking record also demonstrates that any workplace atmosphere controlled at or near your recommended minimal oxygen level of 100 mm of mercury at sea level (equivalent to about 13 percent oxygen at sea level) is not safe and healthful for all employees. Exposing employees to partial pressures of oxygen that approach 100 mm of mercury at sea level leaves them with no margin of safety from potentially debilitating effects, which could appear suddenly and without warning.https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/2007-04-02-0#:~:text=The%20rulemaking%20record%20for%20the,of%20at%20least%2019.5%20percent.

Wow! Right on the WHO website it says wearing a mask around other people is advised.
I expect better from PSI.

The WHO website says you should wear a mask IF you cannot maintain physical distance. It is perfectly possible to do that in many shops.

Bruce— If you believe anything on the WHO website you are being brainwashed..
The UN is totally pushing for the NWO and the “Great Reset” political agenda.

Exactly Allan. Most people (my wife included) unquestioningly assume that those nice men in ‘the government’ (including the UN) surely have our best interests at heart and could not possibly misinform us. Hah!
Here’s the IPCC (another UN agency) ‘man-made-warming’ scam exposed in under 5 minutes …

We must ask ourselves who controls the UN. That’s where the problem lies.

Dear John O’Sullivan;
You wrote: “In a telling admission made on January 22, 2021, the World Health Organization now say there is no scientific medical reason for any healthy person to wear a mask outside of a hospital.”
Do we have to go through the 1 hour and 9 minute video to find this admission by the WHO?
Did the WHO put this in writing, and publish this (such) information somewhere recently, like in the past three days?

I watched parts of the video . I didn’t hear anything about masks but depressing to hear them doubling down on fear. All based on a fraudulent PCR test. They should be hauled in front of a court… quickly.

Hi John O’Sullivan.
This on todays Fox News supporting much of what has been exposed by PSI with further evidence. Naughty little mischievous Fauci .
“Steve Hilton investigates origins of COVID-19, links to US commissioned research.”

Hi John. Please make sure you see the 15 minute Fox version as some other news outlets carry the video but edit out all the juice to make it nearer to pulp only.

Hi Dr. Dennis.
Copy and paste the reference below to your search space, bang “enter” and you will find the Fox video.

Please can you provide the timestamp to where they say what you claim ? I do not hear them say you do not need to wear a mask ? if anything , around the 44 – 49 min mark they say that they recommend a 3 layer mask – this article is incredibly misleading

Replace the mask as soon as it becomes damp with a new
clean, dry mask
THis is the one nobody follows. Think of the number of masks you would need to bring if you were going to be in public for hours. LOL.

details) or outdoor settings where physical
distancing of at least 1 metre cannot be

If indoors, unless ventilation has been be

So a web search for WHO-2019-nCov-IPC_Masks-2020.5-eng.pdf and search that document and you will find the exact quote that they are saying here. I havent watched the video but the WHO clearly states “However, the use of a mask alone, even when correctly used
(see below), is insufficient to provide an adequate level of
protection for an uninfected individual or prevent onward
transmission from an infected individual (source control). ”
public Health Canada states the exact same thing for masks.

Yes, everyone knows this. It’s just another measure such as washing your hands. If I didn’t know I was infected and I was walking around the grocery store, I’d feel better to know I at least attempted to protect others from my infection by wearing a mask.
It “is insufficient to provide an adequate level of
protection for an uninfected individual or prevent onward
transmission from an infected individual”. I don’t think there is anything outside of a hospital environment that is. Nobody should be expecting that.
It covers the mouth/nose of people who do not know they are infected. This marginally reduces their distribution of vapor in their exhaled breath.
Isn’t even marginal prevention courteous to the people around you in public spaces?

Why the lie??? I just watched the video — there was nothing about not needing to wear masks where you said it would be, not there, not anywhere. I keep asking myself–Why this big lie? The video was mostly about how to deal with the new variants and the vaccine roll out–keep up with the same interventions, like washing hands and masks, stay focused. And the concern that the vaccine won’t reach developing countries. I just don’t get why you would make up this stuff. That’s what I keep coming back to. Why are you lying to us?
