From an obscure phenomenon, face masks became a central part of the COVID-19 psychological operation starting in March 2020.

Face masks were a relatively obscure phenomenon before the COVID-19 event started in March 2020; mainly used by doctors during surgery, in medical settings and somewhat popular in East Asia, mostly against air pollution. No studies of long term or widespread use of face masks had been done, for the simple reason that it was never considered a medically sound idea.

Points of note

Like the concept of lockdown and other parts of the COVID-19 psychological operation, the idea of forcing everyone to wear a face cover originates in the military/prison complex. Here from a 2008 demonstration protesting torture in the Guantanamo concentration camp.

The idea caught on and has multiple aspects, some of which are not fully understood, and might imply careful planning as part of a broader operation.

• For a start, the mask functions as a muzzle, physically and metaphorically gagging people.
• The masks turn people into faceless entities, the population into an undistinguished mass, which conspicuously fits with how the rulers of the world sees them.
• The policy confuses and disorients people, making clear thinking difficult.
• The masks function as a constant reminder of a medical danger that would otherwise not be observed. This has led to widespread insanity, with some people not having taken off their masks for years on end.
• The masks function as a reminder of the state's power over you.
• The masks function as a self-policing device, where people can monitor each other and social pressure will make people bow to compliance.
• The masks, which are supposed to be changed several times a day, hugely increase the rate of pneumonia and respiratory diseases.
• a. This contributes to the wanted COVID-emergency.
• b. Long-term weakening of people's respiratory systems might be a goal in itself.
• Masks function as a blackmail device, where good behavior (taking vaccines, allowing children to take the vaccine) will be rewarded with a promised removal of forced masks.
• A large proportion of masks contain graphene, a novel industrial material also present in the the PCR-tests and - allegedly - the RNA-vaccines and with insufficiently tested health effects.
• a. The thin and lightweight, yet tough and intractable particles "are notoriously worrisome in terms of the detrimental effects they can have on our health, particularly when breathed in…”.
• b. In addition, researchers from the EU Graphene Flagship project discovered that "injecting graphene oxide into a specific region of the brain silences the neurons responsible for anxious behaviour," making Jon Rappoport ask; "Are millions of people walking around in a sedated dumbed-down haze, because they’re wearing masks?"

Mask mandates

Full article: Mask mandates

After 2020, corporate media and some governments started pushing the idea that several layers of masks would be even more "effective"

Permanent mask wearing is being made law in countries.

In July 2021, Mayor of Washington DC Muriel Bowser announced a new mask mandate for everyone over 2 years old.

A pressing issue in American schools. The Williamson County Schools Board of Education in Tennessee voted to require masks for students, staff and visitors inside and on school premises. Parents are angry.

Studies on Safety and Efficiency

BBC journalist Deborah Cohen found out the WHO agreed to it because of political lobbying

As Swiss Policy Research pointed out "for decades, studies have shown that face masks don’t work against respiratory virus epidemics. But with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic and increasing political pressure, suddenly studies appeared claiming the opposite. In reality, these studies were a mixture of confounded observational data, unrealistic modelling and lab results, and outright fraud. The most influential fraudulent study certainly was the WHO-mandated meta-study published in The Lancet."

• A May 2020 meta-study on pandemic influenza published by the US CDC found that face masks had no effect, neither as personal protective equipment nor as a source control.
• A Danish randomized controlled trial with 6000 participants, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in November 2020, found no statistically significant effect of high-quality medical face masks against SARS-CoV-2 infection in a community setting.
• A large randomized controlled trial with close to 8000 participants, published in October 2020 in PLOS One, found that face masks “did not seem to be effective against laboratory-confirmed viral respiratory infections nor against clinical respiratory infection.”
• A February 2021 review by the European CDC found no high-quality evidence supporting the effectiveness of non-medical and medical face masks in the community. Furthermore, the European CDC advised against the use of FFP2/N95 masks by the general public.
• A July 2020 review by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine found that there is no evidence for the effectiveness of face masks against virus infection or transmission.
• A November 2020 Cochrane review found that face masks did not reduce influenza-like illness (ILI) cases, neither in the general population nor in health care workers.
• An April 2020 review by two US professors in respiratory and infectious disease from the University of Illinois concluded that face masks have no effect in everyday life, neither as self-protection nor to protect third parties (so-called source control).
• An article in the New England Journal of Medicine from May 2020 came to the conclusion that face masks offer little to no protection in everyday life.
• A 2015 study in the British Medical Journal BMJ Open found that cloth masks were penetrated by 97% of particles and may increase infection risk by retaining moisture or repeated use.
• An August 2020 review by a German professor in virology, epidemiology and hygiene found that there is no evidence for the effectiveness of face masks and that the improper daily use of masks by the public may in fact lead to an increase in infections.

Media

Inaccessible since 18 August 2021.

Forbes deleted an article by Zak Ringelstein titled "School Mask Mandates Mean Trauma For Millions Of Children" for an unknown reason.

Society

A Labour Party councillor virtue signals on Twitter and gets ratioed hard.

Masks have been used as a form of Virtue signalling.

Face masks have been used for self satisfaction. Society has used Fearmongering to normalise face masks, at the expense of human interaction.

Politics

Labour, Liberal Democrats and SNP mask up, Tories opt out. (Top Left); Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnell, Zarah Sultana wear face masks. So does Theresa May (bottom right). {Opposition benches above, government benches below}

On 18 August 2021, the UK Parliament was recalled due to the situation in Afghanistan; particularly the Afghanistan/2021 withdraw. The BBC noted that most Conservative Party MPs did not wear face masks despite it being under government public health guidelines.
