The masks can inhibit spit droplets, which would provide a bigger dose of virus to someone who caught it in the mouth, nose, or eye. If you can reduce the virus dose to vapor-level, only, it would probably give your immune system an advantage, since it would get to handle a smaller dose, rather than starting out with a big one. But, I don't want to wear a mask, either, because the societal implications are worse than the likelihood of getting sick. Also, keeping a moist diaper on your face all day is not healthy, for obvious reasons.

While I do not suffer from the flu, I do suffer from seasonal allergies, especially when the weather is colder and drier than usual. I get them between late October and early December, without fail. Except this year.

The Japanese students that I teach English to even before the COVID epidemic had already told me that they wear masks during the winter season so as to lower the odds of contracting the flu, allergies, or common colds. I thought that that was an old wife's fable. My putting on the mask during this pandemic has taught me otherwise. I haven't suffered from my seasonal allergies even with my volcano near my house acting up more often than usual.

I think there's a reason why those societies have remained stable for thousands of years whereas the American society is crumbling after barely 200 years of existence. We have much to learn from them.

I have noticed the same. I always get the flu and seasonal allergies, except for this past year. I haven't had to buy allergy or cold medicine since for over a year.

Your Bishop is an idiot. It is not physically possible for a paper or cloth mask to prevent a virus 1000 times smaller than a hair to enter. It may be luck or something else he is doing but if he claims it is the mask, he is not only stupid, but a liar as well.

No it is an idiotic conspiracy theory that masks don't work. You have drunk the cool aid and been infected by the conspiracy theory.

If masks work to stop virus spread, why didn’t we wear them in 2018 when there were more seasonal flu deaths than 2020 covid deaths for the first few months?



If masks worked so well then why socially distance, close down “nonessential” employment, & other anti-Constitutional measures? Calling someone pointing out these unconstitutional facts a “conspiracy theorist” in not only ad hominem attack but also gaslighting taught you by CIA:



”CDC Says Once Again Breathing Can Spread COVID”
The truth is respiratory viruses are spread by breath.
Can you breath in & out when you wear a mask? Yes.
So, virus particles can also be spread in and out when wearing masks.

With anything you need to weigh the pros & cons... see if the cost is worth it. How harmful masks are, it’s not worth it, except in some cases like surgeons. The origin of medical masks began when medical students saw the professor’s spit land on patient undergoing surgery. But that is the exception. Generally masks harm more than help...

Yip the virus leaves the body through water droplets that we breath out - they are attached to the moisture droplets - hence masks stop them.
It is also a numbers game. I have done a lot of work in water filtration and purification. If there is fecal E.coli in the water in low concentrations people generally can drink it and not be affected, high concentrations - health problems including diarrhea. As children we were always told to cover our mouths when we cough - to prevent the spread of viruses. Wearing a mask gives extra protection, greatly reduces or eliminates the number of viruses we inhale and probability of a virus overpowering the body or getting into our cells.

Medial professionals have always warn masks - those that were lack in wearing them get infected. Images below from US/Australia during the 1918 Spanish flue pandemic.

so true. masks are useless.
it's just a front for their fake Plannedemic.

and 99% of the masks out there that people are wearing, are not even quality and rated to filter this small of a virus; ***
and some don't even cover their nose, and even wear them loose fitting. lol.
Then we have the issue of your eyes being exposed;
I guess everyone then needs to be wearing eye goggles to be sufficiently protected. lol.

and more like - "it's an idiotic conspiracy theory that masks DO work".
These same people are those that have been deceived and buy into the this scam and false sense of security.

you think the average mask is effective and protecting you from a virus this size,

"The average diameter of the virus particles is around 125 nm (.125 μm)"
The nanometer (American spelling) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth (short scale) of a metre (0.000000001 m)

So the coronavirus is about 0.12 microns in diameter


Occult Ritual Transformation and Coronavirus: How Mask Wearing, Hand Washing, “Social Separation” and Lockdowns Are Age-Old Occult Rituals Being Used to Initiate People Into a New Global Order
https://haveyenotread.com/occult-ritual ... ronavirus/

"The Japanese students that I teach English to even before the COVID epidemic had already told me that they wear masks during the winter season so as to lower the odds of contracting the flu, allergies, or common colds. I thought that that was an old wife's fable."

Those particular students might wear masks in their homeland, but I wish people would stop trying to give the impression that the Japanese, Koreans and Chinese all wear masks as a matter of course. There are far more of the population there who don't wear masks. They are worn mostly by the elderly and those who have allergies and other health problems. I'm not going to take the time to provide a bunch of links to prove my point. Just go to YouTube, look for some live web cams in the major oriental cities and see for yourselves.

Of course a mask will help to cut down on the spread of something, whether it's bacteria or boogers, and maybe even viruses. But, if you're going to go around shaming those without masks, hinting that they might be un-Christlike, or stupid, or whatever; all you're going to do is further divide your nations and peoples. In the USA they are just now ending a 4 years period which has broken families and communities along political lines, in some cases probably never to be healed. Is that really what we want to continue to do? I think our Governments would just love that to happen. Right now they have added more power to themselves than the last time opportunity arose, on September 11, 2001. Right now, every Government is learning that just by announcing a Health Emergency, they can by-pass Constitutions and Bills of Rights. They can limited gatherings, whether for protest or religious observance, and they are taking note as to how easily their populations are getting into line.

I don't thing this is going to end any time soon. Already, they are talking about taking a longer time than planned to bring the vaccines to the people. In my country, it was first April, and now that's been pushed to September. And now they are talking about new varieties of COVID-19, and repeated shots on a regular basis for multiple years. Britain is now planning COVID-19 passports that will need to be stamped to prove your immunity. Two years ago it was unimaginable that in the USA, where freedom is highly valued, that you might have to show "your papers" to the authorities, as you travel from State to State, or out of the country. Now that may come to pass. Other rights will fall as well; the right to free speech, to assemble, to be able to practice your religion without Government setting the rules. If things remain on course, we will be entering a new dark age in the West.

One final thought: It looks like the USA Government will now be controlled by the left, by the Democrats. They will legally be able to pass whatever laws those on the left want to pass, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop them. Look at Washington D.C. An unrulely demonstration (which had some acts of violence) is turned by the Media into an "armed insurrection". Any one with a cellphone at that demonstration is being tracked down and charged, even though a smaller demonstration happened in 2017 where protestors got into some Senate Offices. And any one associated with Donald Trump can lose their jobs and even their bank accounts. What unbelievable events occurring right before our eyes.

Lastly: People on the left kept talking about Donald Trump being a facist, just itching to throw people in jail, start martial law or even launch nuclear weapons. Think back to when he swore upon the Bible to protect the constitution of the USA. Folks laughed at the smaller attendance as proof of no support. Now look at Biden's planned Inauguration. He's going to have more than 25,000 troops to protect him from the very people he says he wants to represent, and much of the Capitol region will be off limits to those same people. Really, what looks more like a dictatorship, the four years of Donald Trump or the first day of Joe Biden? Kind of shows you what's coming down the line for the United States of America.

Okay, I'm done.

Yip the miming industry uses masks all the time to reduce dust inhalation - dust and smoke particles that are even smaller than the virus. Again the virus is exhaled and leave the lungs attached to moisture that is trapped by the mask. Pseudo fake science and charts is just to confuse people.

The masks are not the same. N95 masks have a space between the fibers that compare to the size of a chain link fence stopping a mosquito. A little research will prove that this is not the type of masks that miners wear. But aside from the foolishness of thinking an N95 mask works, one can simply read the label from the manufacturer that says it does not. In addition to which most of the masks that people wear are not even close to as good as a N95. If denim jeans will not stop the smell of a fart, there is not a chance in hell that it will stop a virus. And cotton masks are not nearly as thick as denim. You are simply pissing in the wind and liable to get wet if you don't stop. Your thesis is ridiculous.

He covers it pretty good - how masks are useless,
and on the symbolism ritual occult of the mask and initiation themes.

Good point about the spit droplets.

I understand that constantly wearing a mask can actually give people rashes, some of them quite severe.

Our Bishop is new, but I think he is going to be a 10 on a scale of 1-10. He misspoke and apologized humbly. He seems kind and very caring. I think he encouraged mask wearing because he just wants us all to be in church together. He probably hasn’t done any opposition research on mask-wearing yet.

Well, under normal circumstances, I would agree with you. However, we need to hold people in positions of trust to a higher standard. For instance if the neighbor kid is caught playing pee pees with your daughter of a similar age, would you view it the same as if it was your Bishop? I hope not. So it is when a lie that is a proven lie is told over the pulpit.

We live in a world that is being sifted. Part of the sifting process is taking sides with Satan (the deep state) or Christ. Seems like an easy enough choice. So an investigator attends an LDS church and is forced to wear a mask. He knows that the mask is a farce and now he knows that the Bishop is, also. Or maybe a young person not having a personal testimony as of yet, but has been taught LDS his entire life and so at least believes. He studies videos of world renowned doctors that deal with virus every day. Not just play doctors like Fauci that hasn't had an actual patient in 50 years. He learns that mask manufacturers all place a notice on the package and sometimes on the actual mask that the mask is not effective against covid. Gee, they ought to know, right? He learns that it is not even possible for a mask to stop a virus from passing through. So he goes to church and tries to educate the Bishop. The Bishop is rude and has no time for taking advice from a teenager. The Bishop doubles down and in Sacrament Meeting warns everyone that they will either wear a mask or not be allowed in. Now the kid has a choice to make. The Bishop is obviously wrong. The Bishop is not willing to listen to facts. The kid being wise for his age decides it is not in his best interest to take advice from those that are not competent to give it. He realizes that the church is made of liars and he wants no part of it. The Bishop is guilty of a crime that God says "It would be better for him if he were not born."

About half of the population thinks communism is a good thing. So there are a vast number of people that are not playing with a full deck. These people are easily fooled. People that are in a position of trust have an obligation not only not to sexually molest people, but to also not lie to them. Words like liar, idiot, or stupid, are rather soft words for a person that God says would be better off not being born.

I have 3 daughters who teach in-person High School Classes. They have all noticed a small fraction of the number of colds and flu this year with their students compared to earlier years. They also each usually get colds and flu several times during the year because of being exposed so much at school. This year, the 3 daughters have not been sick.

Draw whatever conclusions you want, but they believe that it is because of the masks and social distancing since that is the only thing different this past year from previous years.

It’s not the only thing different. We homeschool and we co-op (socialize) w other families. Nothing has changed for us. We probably are in contact more than others. People have been sick in our area but it was a few days and we are all up and running again. The last two years prior, we were hit w cold and flu hard. This year nothing, yet we socialize more.
Air sprays that some call contrails, I call chemtrails, have slowed down mucho much. Correlation doesn’t equal causation, I know, I know....but make of it what you want. But less sickness? No, It’s not because of the masks.

Fred wrote: ↑January 17th, 2021, 10:17 pmHowever, we need to hold people in positions of trust to a higher standard.

I agree with this.

At the same time, I think many (if not most) of these bishops and stake presidents are acting in ignorance. Yes, they could do their own research, but it probably doesn't occur to them that there is any other truth about masks. I think it probably stems from trusting authority far too much (whether religious, medical, or political), which is not good on any level.

I think D&C 50 applies here, though we can't tell the hearts and minds of others, so we don't actually know which camp these bishops and stake presidents reside in at the moment.

Each of us can choose to follow the path of the New World Order of the secret combinations or else the New World Order of Jesus Christ. The leaders of each plan claim the right to rule over the earth and all its inhabitants. They each promise peace and prosperity for 1000 years, and claim to eventually be victorious over the other. However, only one is pointing to the correct temporal and spiritual path for the righteous to follow. Which one will you take? There is no neutral path.

The general direction of the parallel paths of both nation and church is set because of past decisions and actions–just as the direction of our individual path is determined by the decisions and actions we make daily. Frequently, throughout our lives, we need to take a close look down our path and make sure it is leading to the place we want to go. Occasionally we may need to make a course correction based on the further light and knowledge we gain as we go along. But the best signpost along the way is the one that says, “Come follow Me.”

Someone is listening when you call–Just ask and He will understand.

However, only one is pointing to the correct temporal and spiritual path for the righteous to follow. Which one will you take? There is no neutral path.

The general direction of the parallel paths of both nation and church is set because of past decisions and actions–just as the direction of our individual path is determined by the decisions and actions we make daily. Frequently, throughout our lives, we need to take a close look down our path and make sure it is leading to the place we want to go. Occasionally we may need to make a course correction based on the further light and knowledge we gain as we go along. But the best signpost along the way is the one that says, “Come follow Me.”

Someone is listening when you call–Just ask and He will understand.

(Ogden Kraut, Parallel Paths, pg. 299-301)

Truth is so simple and plain and uncomplicated and REAL. Truth compels us to take action to engage or avoid certain things.
