Cloth masks: Dangerous to your health? https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150422121724.htm If you search on Google for anything covid related, you get "fact check" after "fact check". All articles are usually dated after 3/2020. They've really tried to inundate the first few pages of SERP results with propaganda. But taking a cue from the NIH report on CV that was written in 2005, I've noticed that truthful articles regarding germs, masks, ppe, etc is anything 2015 and before. There are still papers/studies pushing evidence that masks work but before that date, I've seen more that disprove it.  I've heard today that people are starting to get staph and yeast infections from mask wearing and I wasn't surprised to hear that. A restaurant my wife and I go to every Saturday has masked servers. One of the girls, this last time we were there (a very pretty girl with great skin), pulled down her mask to itch and readjust it. We briefly saw her skin under the mask. It was covered in acne and red. Just where the mask sits. She has to know that the mask is causing it. But it's clearly required by the restaurant to keep the job. I still have yet to find stories and photos but based on what I saw myself, the epidemic of face infections and skin issues is right around the corner. We should compile and spread those far and wide, starting here on Voat as we start getting wind of them. So, I decided to search for reports of people and what masks are doing to them now that it's been long enough for health issues to develop. Of course, the first 3 to 4 pages of Google are saying infections from masks are rare or even never happen. But I went deep enough and find this article citing a study done in Hanoi in 2015 reported on by New South Wales. I know...Australia of all places. Here's the summary of the study: "Respiratory infection is much higher among healthcare workers wearing cloth masks compared to medical masks, research shows. Cloth masks should not be used by workers in any healthcare setting, authors of the new study say." While, even back then, the water was being carried for using masks for pandemics, it's honest about the efficacy of anything cloth. This would apply to anything that does not seal around your face with a tight rubber fit I would add IMO (e.g. medical masks that bulge out on both sides)
