Abstract
Extensive evidence in the literature supports the mandatory use of facemasks to reduce the infection rate of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which causes the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). However, the effect of mask use on the disease course remains controversial. This study aimed to determine whether mandatory mask use influenced the case fatality rate in Kansas, USA between August 1st and October 15th 2020.

This study applied secondary data on case updates, mask mandates, and demographic status related to Kansas State, USA. A parallelization analysis based on county-level data was conducted on these data. Results were controlled by performing multiple sensitivity analyses and a negative control.

A parallelization analysis based on county-level data showed that in Kansas, counties with mask mandate had significantly higher case fatality rates than counties without mask mandate, with a risk ratio of 1.85 (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.51–2.10) for COVID-19-related deaths. Even after adjusting for the number of “protected persons,” that is, the number of persons who were not infected in the mask-mandated group compared to the no-mask group, the risk ratio remained significantly high at 1.52 (95% CI: 1.24–1.72). By analyzing the excess mortality in Kansas, this study determines that over 95% of this effect can solely be attributed to COVID-19.

These findings suggest that mask use might pose a yet unknown threat to the user instead of protecting them, making mask mandates a debatable epidemiologic intervention.

The cause of this trend is explained herein using the “Foegen effect” theory; that is, deep re-inhalation of hypercondensed droplets or pure virions caught in facemasks as droplets can worsen prognosis and might be linked to long-term effects of COVID-19 infection. While the “Foegen effect” is proven in vivo in an animal model, further research is needed to fully understand it.

Great find ^ ^ ^

And still there are doctors and medical facilities that REQUIRE A MASK TO EVEN ENTER THEIR BUILDING. Media and Pharma are the biggest evils in this plandemic.

I had to check the date on this post below to make sure it wasn't oh, two summers ago...nope, these imbeciles continue this idiocy - hopefully if their beloved masks don't kill them, their jabs will.

I am sure the designer masks are more better...

Anytime these dumb fucks want to glorify and stylize something like this you know they are beyond help. Additionally, I see these people wearing masks improperly and thinking they are really doing something. Masks don't work when worn properly so wearing one improperly is a further waste of time yet so many are doing it still. I am baffled. The young kids are so indoctrinated it is mind boggling. Imagine if a real virus hit and they acted as they do. They would be really fucked.
