It Is Scientifically Impossible For A Mask To Protect You

Transcript:

Bryan Fischer here with today’s Life and Liberty Minute. During this coronavirus pandemic we have been lectured repeatedly to follow the science. Good advice - as long as it’s science and not science fiction. We’re constantly being hectored to wear masks. But science tells us it’s impossible for masks to protect us from coronavirus. That’s because the pores in the masks are far too large to stop the virions that cause the infection. These virions are roughly one hundred nanometers in size, and it only takes one to cause an infection. But the size of surgical mask filtrations are about three thousand nanometers, thirty times too large to stop an infection. As somebody said, stopping a virion with a mask is like trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence. So wear one if you must - just be realistic about the amount of protection you’re getting.
