Best way to avoid bad COVID (besides vaccinations and clean air)? Wear, not a mask, but a crushed rotting toad on your head: nobody will come close, you be safe. The voodoo mask people, who call toilet paper on their face, “science”, will be repelled. I am glad to repel those who confuse voodoo with science.
An INCONCLUSIVE review article on masks was published by CDC, in September 2020, 4 months before the OUTLAWING of most mask types in Europe. Uncritical masks partisans naively brandish it… but they did not read it… Because if they had, they would not talk about it as if it were a reference… https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7293495/?fbclid=IwAR2D6cbIj7Mq_GdzxJpAYCEk32l30ylSh2Auxm1gVVsIdPMhymEzetw7N6E
Here is its (inconclusive) conclusion of the CDC in said article. (In the meantime numerous studies have shown masks and grandly named N95 respirators, to be mostly INEFFECTIVE… While CLEAN AIR from HEPA filters and ventilation did reduce viral loads… Even the new York Times did its own study concluding HEPA and ventilation worked.)
“7. Conclusion
Researchers have speculated that both droplets and aerosols generated from non-violent and violent expirations of SARS-CoV-2-infected people may be responsible for the airborne transmission of COVID-19 disease. However, more research work should be conducted to understand the behavior of virus-laden droplets and aerosols in different environmental settings, especially confined spaces so that the transmission of COVID-19 pandemic in the built environment could be fully ascertained. The case studies found worldwide indicate that the behavior of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been unprecedentedly unique with more survival and viable rates in the air and believed to linger in the air for an extended period. The challenge before many healthcare workers in combatting the disease would be a daunting task unless proper administrative, clinical, and physical measures are taken within the healthcare settings. Inter-disciplinary research on the behavior of the SARS-CoV-2 virus needs to be conducted to prevent COVID-19 disease from spreading worldwide.”
Oh, by the way not one serious scientific paper shows that “masks” are effective with children and COVID. As usual the overriding reasoning is the same: COVID is like smoke… Same size, one hundred nanometers. Masks’ efficiency is computed in micron, not nanometer. It takes one thousand nanometers to make one micron. Actually surgical masks are made of plastic, polypropylene, typically, and are made to intercept the spherical cells of Staphylococcus aureus, a bacteria, which are one (1) μm in diameter: one micron, ten times the size of the SARS CoV2 virus.
A MD objected: “Masks aren’t torture. Not everything we do generates aerosols.“
Well, for the sadomasochists, torture is pleasure. I had a friend Larry Stark, a MD, PhD, and endowed with many other prestigious positions (professor of neurology, optometry and electric engineering at UC Berkeley and UCSF). He was very defiant of Medical Doctors, saying, basically, that they did not know how to think, as they confused cooking recipes, statistics and genuine mental creativity.
So some doctors told me masks could not possibly hurt, so we may as well use them. However, there are severe medical consequences to masks. One can break limbs because one could not see a defect of the ground (I know personally one case). There are allergies, especially for children. After I run, I absolutely cannot wear mask for quite a while, I suffocate. Masks introduce fibers in the lungs, etc.
Because of intense smoke in the burning Sierra Nevada, I use so called N95 “respirators” twice (they kept some of the AQI 400 smoke out). But had to remove them promptly because I nearly broke limbs within 100 feet (I run cross country, bad mountain trails).
The BS about masks has incited authorities to forsake what works: clean air. CLEAN AIR, like clean water, will one day be the norm. It is technically feasible (HEPA).
Where I am located, mask obsessed PUBLIC schools did NOT invest in clean air: they had decided that masks were the panacea, all they needed, and those who did not wear them, “spread the disease”… Let all children wear masks, and COVID will go away. That was science, according to those public schools…
Well, in Marin County, one (non-vaccinated) teacher with COVID infected 26 MASKED children (the closer to the teacher, the more infected). That’s just one example. The incompetent, rotten governor had only talked and given orders about masks, although HEPA filters are very cheap, and he has a budget surplus of 100 billion dollars… Enough to cover all of California with HEPA filters…
Finally, the San Francisco school board just decided to invest in CLEAN AIR. Too little, too late. Classes are getting full of COVID, even in my daughter public school. Conclusion: COVID, and masked children are forced to go back home.
So it is back to the real truth: in California authorities do not mind if public school close and private schools stay open. Last year the corrupt governor had his four children going to in-person private school (Newsom made two million dollars from his eleven Getty companies) . Meanwhile, “Black Lives Matter” people had children not going to school….
Long live the masquerade…

Summary What is already known about this topic?
The SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant is highly transmissible. Prevention guidance in schools varies by jurisdiction.
What is added by this report?
During May 23–June 12, 2021, 26 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases occurred among Marin County, California, elementary school students and their contacts following exposure to an unvaccinated infected teacher. The attack rate in one affected classroom was 50%; risk correlated with seating proximity to the teacher.
[The CDC deduced from that that masking should be “included”… But once again CDC failed to mention HEPA filters and ventilation…]

Interestingly, although I agree with his list, the author does not seem to know about a subtle point relative to COVID: the virus has three entry points we know of: olfactive neuronal system, lungs, intestine. That has to do with ACE2 receptor equipped cells. The most dangerous is the olfactive entry, one would guess, because the virus gets directly into neurons, and then from neuron to neuron… where the immune system cannot reach (except in dramatic cases: Alzheimer, rabies, herpes, shingles, etc.). So what do masks do? They slow the air flow inside the olfactive area, by a factor of up to 5, some studies claimed. Thus they make it more likely that the SARS CoV2 will enter through the brain…

To assert that masks are useful, there should be evidence to show they are. In my opinion, a polypropylene mask is useless because if the virus is stopped by it, it does not adhere to the mask, and it will be swept through with further air. In my opinion, a thickish loose woolen mask (where the air can’t take a straight-through route) with the wool coated with something like a carrageenan (or other sulphated polysaccharide) would be better because the protein on the virus spikes, if it touches the carrageenan, it gets stuck, and then the carrageenan will kill it. Now, at least it might achieve something.

In a HEPA filter, the virus gets glued by Van Der Waals forces… To believe a slick one millimeter of polypropylene can stop an aerosolized virus much smaller than the polypropylene mesh is thoroughly idiotic, and a testimony to the will to become a sheep, trust in derelict authorities, lack of common sense and no scientific judgement.
My daughter’s public school is fanatical about masks, it requires students to wear masks even outside. However casual observation show it does not have CLEAN AIR. So of course now they have COVID all over. There is not one scientific paper even lying about mask efficiency, claiming masks work, in a school setting. This being said, of course I want my surgeon to wear a mask.

Conveniently forgetting to mention that the teacher who infected all those kids was unmasked in spite of the school requirement (maybe a “freedumber”?)
Conveniently forgetting to mention that the size of the virus vs masks does not matter when the main benefit of it is stopping droplets of already infected persons (in particular when speaking, see teacher case)
Do you really believe that health authorities across the world are not aware of that simple fact? You present it like you did strike gold …
Are you aware that for a breakthrough infection
to occur you need a significant viral load, there are studies on the estimated number, masks are useful to reduce the probability! of this by lowering the chance of an (masked) infected persons droplets, which obviously can contain significant amounts of the virus, reaching the eyes or the respiratory systems of another human.
Also, you fail to accurately depict the downsides of masks, most important of which is a false sense of security, resulting in disregarding distance rules or other common sense measures like regular or constant ventilation. Plus people tend to not replace them , constantly touch them or wear them incorrectly …
You are obviously very bright, please stop being part of the problem.
I’m very sorry to hear that your daughter got denied what is essentially a core human right , education. This would make me furious as well. Even more so when the schools of the rich are allowed to stay open.

I answered pedantry on many of these issues. The USA has the highest official death count of COVID, in the world. Non essential travel from US to Europe is right now prohibited. Most Americans wear masks in a way, or of a type, which is scientifically known to INCREASE transmissibility. My daughter’s mandatory mask public school in California seems an example: she is officially quarantined, tested every day…
But we are living among the insane: democrats promote “save our progress” speaking of governor Newsom, who kept public schools closed for 18 months (but not the private schools, to which his 4 children go).
Funny that you detail the downsides of masks which alluded to, and are precisely the CORE OF THE PROBLEM.
Here is the start of 2020 essay on masks:
MASK MASQUERADE KILLS
5 Votes
Mask Masquerade A Masked Massacre. Now Unmasked:
Abstract: Masks were mandated everywhere in countries were the pandemic got subsequently out of control: what could have gone wrong? Well what if masks, instead of reducing the pandemic, augmented it? “Anti-scientific” scream hysterical lemmings without any scientific education, nor any attempt at any reasoning whatsoever! One would indeed expect anti-scientific lemmings to read no scientific literature whatsoever. But so-called “experts”? Scientific studies have shown that masks can quintuple (multiply by five) virus transmission (and the reason is increasingly understood). Those types of masks are the most common in California, December 2020, and should be made unlawful right away.
More broadly, the mask craze has led a naïve public to assume it was protected when it was not, and thus incited the public to engage in legal, yet very dangerous activities, where the virus gets in the air, floats around, and penetrate masks. The public would not have otherwise engaged in these activities, if the public had realized that the virus was floating around, and just used its common sense… instead of being hypnotized by masks fostered by an elite of greedy, power crazed exploiters with various biased interests that it is urgent to expose… for health, political, moral and philosophical reasons!
The Western elite, as it is, by enacting ineffectual, counterproductive, or even iniquitous laws, such as mask laws, or closing public schools, while keeping private schools open, is responsible for the COVID massacre, and should be criminally charged: there are advanced countries with few, or basically no COVID cases or deaths. Hint: no masks in Australia.
Philosophically speaking, the deadly mask craze is an example of intellectual fascism: an idea from authority, right or wrong, is adopted, because it is the law. A famous example of laws against civilization were racist laws of the Twentieth Century, such as forbidding “colored” persons in the front of the bus. Indeed, what if the law is criminal? Where is the possibility of conscientious objection?
Practically, and in the most pragmatic way, I am saying that, when one goes into confined, non-HEPA filtered air with strangers, one is NOT protected from the coronavirus, mask or no mask, and whether others or oneself wear them, or not.

On the point of the schools, most states in the world kept their schools open… All the time. Some countries such as France closed schools for a few weeks, a couple of times, but then closed ALL schools, public or private. Plutocrat governor Newsom in California chose to tell me I must wear a mask in my private residence and close my public school, while he and Pelosi do not wear masks during plutocratic events, reception, restaurant, hairdressers, etc… and send their children and grandchildren to private schools for the hyper wealthy, where tuition can be as much as the family income, while I have to contemplate the worst refugee homeless camps… in the WORLD???? And that’s progress??? Meanwhile taxpayer money went to help Newsom’s companies…

SACRAMENTO — Companies affiliated with California Gov. Gavin Newsom received nearly $3 million in federal loans created to help small businesses survive the pandemic, more than eight times the amount originally reported, according to newly released information from the U.S. government.
Nine businesses tied to Newsom’s PlumpJack Group split the nearly $2.9 million in loans through the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, according to new figures released last week. The governor put his business holdings into a blind trust before he took office last year and so would not have participated in the decision to obtain the loans.
It was a surprisingly large loan, said Project On Government Oversight senior policy analyst Sean Moulton. The nonpartisan independent watchdog is tracking $1.6 trillion in overall pandemic relief spending, with the Paycheck Protection Program the largest single program.
“It seems to be a small business, but it got a lot of money. I’m not sure how the company justifies taking that much money when there were a lot of companies looking to get assistance,” Moulton said. “You hope they’re using it wisely because there’s an opportunity cost there — that money didn’t get used for another small business that may be out of business now.”
He said Newsom “certainly runs the risk of encountering some public perception problems” over the loans.
The governor already faces criticism for sending his children to private schools for classroom learning as most public schools remain closed and for dining in violation of his own rules with 10 lobbyists and others at the pricey French Laundry restaurant in Napa in early November.

Hi Pedantry!
Thanks for the comment, it pleasantly remind me of old times…
By wearing a COVID swamp on their faces, COVID laden individuals do not protect others. Just the opposite. Many masks types AUGMENT INFECTIVITY BY A FACTOR OF FIVE. That’s why they are unlawful in Europe!!!!!!
The problem is that most people are too dumb, too scared, and too much like sheep to read the scientific literature.
I wrote maybe 10,000 words on the scientific literature on masks.
Stupid doctors wrote to me telling me the CDC contradicted me. They had not even read the CDC papers…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sent them back the conclusion of the CDc review on masks of September 2020. Those presumably dishonest idiots had nothing to say. They got so small in their minds, they did not even unfriend me…
The CDC is one of my main sources. Also direct articles in top journals (which I personally subscribe to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even get FREE subscription, due to my service to… Science…)
Even idiots should be able to understand that “experts” in the West (Japan excepted) understood not enough. Millions of deaths should be enough of a proof. Some countries had very few deaths. Without even a mandatory mask law…
Most of these people died because they were told masks protected them… WHEN THEY DID NOT!
You say: why are you against masks, just as they said in the Middle Ages, why are you against god, and they gathered in churches… In 1348-1350… No nobles died from the Plague, because they enjoyed clean air. The air below a mask is so little clean, some patients are getting deadly asthma (an MD told me yesterday).
How stupid can one be that one would believe a one millimeter polypropylene mesh on the micron scale would stop a 100 nanometer virus? Which can infect neurons in the olfactive bulb directly? Dogs smell COVID at a distance! Differently from the manipulated imbeciles I have a physics PhD and my spouse has a biophysics PhD, worked at NASA for years, and we both taught or had research positions at some of the top research universities. Actually we have been scientists our entire lives….
I am also an original MODERNA investor, from when it was a startup, so I need no lesson about what science could work. I am not just MODERNA vaccinated… and I cannot wait for my booster shot. I also use virus removing HEPA filters, and call imbeciles, imbeciles, out of moral duty, in this futuristic morality that I embrace, having created it, it’s my child. Others can follow bin Biden down the oblivious abyss of mental degeneracy… Help women by giving them to the Talibiden…
Oh, by the way, a most cynical point of view of using DELTA as a form of mandatory, and ineluctable vaccination is perfectly imaginable. So what’s the big stress about? Intelligent people get their natural booster shot, and idiots perish… A moral tale…

That’s missing the point entirely. The purpose of masks is to prevent expulsion of spittle, which might contain the virus, into the surrounding environment. To protect you. Not to protect me.
There’s a reason that surgeons wear masks when operating on their patients’ innards.
But I fear that this is falling upon deaf ears. You seem to have convinced yourself of your position, and knee-jerk respond to any suggestion that maybe you need to rethink. There’s a name for this cognitive bias, but it escapes me at the moment.

I want my surgeon to wear a mask. Masks are effective with stopping bacteria, and surgeons wear special masks, in a special way, for a special time.
You keep on missing the point: SARS CoV2 is not transmitted by spitting on people. But by AEROSOL. This was already the case with SARS1.
A E R O S O L. That means the virus is floating in the air. A Tulane University study for CDC November 2020, which I linked to, said the virus was floating indefinitively in the air…
Masks don’t stop aerosols.
DNA can float in the air, BTW, and the presence of animals of rare species can be detected that way.
Flu is best transmitted in the average with 1,000 viral particles. That optimal transmissibility number in unknown for COVID.
You obviously read nothing I wrote, confuse microns and nanometers, bacteria and viruses, etc… And then accuse me of cognitive bias!
In California there are stupid masks mandates all over. Including in school. Very strict. Guess what? Several classes we know of, including my daughter, are “quarantined”, with active COVID… and they mandated (the school) that she be tested everyday (masked children have COVID in classrooms, in spite of masks and HEPA filters they supposedly have).
Your usage of the cliché: “Masks protects YOU”, is interesting: it is an End of Debate Cliché (DBC). DBC is a method, like “God Is Great! You fail to read what I said: most masks types were OUTLAWED in Europe (say in France). Why? Because they aerosolize the virus, from spittle to gas, augmenting transmission at least 5 (FIVE) times. Many scientific papers have shown this.
The USA, thanks to Fauci and his lying CDC, and NIH (headed by loud Christian Nobel Collins), is the country with the MOST official COVID deaths. They obviously did a poor job, and reverted 100% several of their orders. Taking guidance from stupid, ineffective liars: not recommended for wisdom…

I hear you about the “gene-based” or “genetic engineering” language. And I don’t know why vaccine skeptics often use that language. I understand the argument AGAINST that language.
OTOH, I don’t see Kirsch making any arguments based on the misunderstanding that one might think may be implied in the language. His arguments are wholly “other.”

Just for the sake of argument about language, however, I’m wondering: Is it truly invalid to speak the US approved vaccines (which INCLUDE the Janssen/J&J VIRAL-vector vaccines) as NON-genetic? After all, whether inserted via mRNA or an adenovirus, what these vaccines do is modify the CODING of the DNA, don’t they . . . so that our cells produce spike proteins? So isn’t that a form of genetic manipulation?
(I haven’t gotten into the cellular biology of the vaccines to find out whether my understanding is accurate. But if I remember my old high school-level biology, I thought that the RNA/mRNA helps the body code DNA . . . and it is the DNA that controls the production of proteins. . . . [????])

The Astra Zeneca Oxford vaccine modifies DNA, and makes it produce spike protein.
The mRNA vaccines short-circuit DNA altogether, sending instead instructions to ribosomes to make spike protein directly. There is no DNA involvement. After production the mRNA disappear. Moreover, this is synthetic mRNA, with some base replaced, not found in nature…
The present Internet is such that, the more absurd the idea, the higher the probability to create a following.
