Is one of the 49 the CDC one where they phoned up people, asked if they'd had covid and asked if they thought they had worn their mask as much as they should have? lol.

Meanwhile in Switzerland, they're abandoning the jabs for almost everyone now. Even high risk people are no longer recommended to get the jab. Only with the authorization of a doctor can high risk Swiss access the jabs. For everyone else, they will simply be unavailable. The media in the US has given this little to only token attention. Meanwhile the CDC is pushing for six month old babies to get the jabs and the FDA is about to authorize a seventh dose of the drug.

The study found that masks alone are insufficient, but work when paired with other health measures. 
It's nothing surprising, especially given that COVID precautions are basically gone now. 2 of my grandparents died of COVID they caught in the hospital after going for unrelated reasons.

Only self-contained bottled air in pressurized suits and a total sanitation and disposal of said suits after use "works".

I'm not talking about 99.99% effectiveness. Not even propaganda man on TV claimed anything ridiculous like that. If it reduces the chance to get infected AND/OR the chance to infect others by, say, at least 20% that would mean it's working. The number is kind of arbitrary but a 20% reduction seems significant enough setting unrealistic expectations.
So by this definition, do these masks work or not?

Truth. 
Hitler should have focused on Soviet Union first, gotten UK and Japan to help destroy it. 

Once conquered it, taken China, and given it to Japan. Then formed an alliance with USA and helped USA take over all of North and South America (bout two weeks). 

UK could have had all Africa, with agreement to export to USA, Germany, Japan. 

USA, UK, Germany then could have turned on Japan and easily taken east Asia from them, relegating Japan to making superior electronics. 

World would be at peace, with USA, UK, Germany controlling it all. 

But noooooo Hitler and Roosenfeld in USA had to fuck it all up.

my old doctor died and now i have to get a flight physical with a new doctor for the first time, they just email'd me saying i have to wear a mask. 
i've never worn one before, where do you buy this garbage and how much microplastics am i finna inhale?
also lmao when 200 passengers and all the flight crew had to wear masks and i just ignored it, never got the vax either, when my boss said i had to, i just told him "hey i got that vax" next time i saw him an that was that.
