Note: The tyrannical, lying, politically-correct Big Pharma has shut down the study, despite not being able to refute the facts in it. You can still understand the significance of this helpful and truthful study here. And see this analysis of this unscientific censorship from Retraction Watch.
Here’s our original SaveCalifornia.com blog:
As you know, Big Pharma, Big Government, Big Media, and Big Tech are hiding the truth about mask effectiveness, telling you to just obey and mask up whenever they order you to do so.
Yet published on the website of the National Center for Biotechnological Information (NCBI), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is evidence that destroys claims that face masks for the general public are effective at blocking Covid (or other viruses).
The study, authored by Dr. Baruch Vainshelboim of Stanford University and published by the medical journal Medical Hypothesis, is carefully documented. For example, it explains what people who smell smoke through masks already know:
According to the current knowledge, the virus SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 60 nm to 140 nm [nanometers (billionth of a meter)] [16], [17], while medical and non-medical facemasks’ thread diameter ranges from 55 µm to 440 µm [micrometers (one millionth of a meter), which is more than 1000 times larger [25]. Due to the difference in sizes between SARS-CoV-2 diameter and facemasks thread diameter (the virus is 1000 times smaller), SARS-CoV-2 can easily pass through any facemask [25].
This honest study reports what the establishment won’t — that face masks are both useless and harmful:
The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such as SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemasks can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize proper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.
The American Institute of Economic Research (AIER) commends this courageous study, writing:
The paper appears in the midst of an ongoing effort on the part of Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden, and others to normalize and universalize mask wearing, even as many states are repealing their mask mandates with public support. The evidence that doing so has had any effect on the trajectory of the virus is scant at best. The most commonly cited study from the CDC barely finds a 0.5% difference in transmission rate over 20 days and 1.8% after 100 days. The longer the time the more variables are a concern; a simply and extremely weak correlation between two data points stretches credulity, especially when used to push a radical masking of the population.
In addition, many aspects of our emergent mask culture are implausible, such as the idea that you don’t catch or spread Covid while seated and eating and can thereby be unmasked but standing and walking are too risky and therefore require masks. As to wearing them outdoors or even alone on a hike in the woods, does one even need to comment?
Given that masking of healthy populations for long periods of time is a new policy, it is astounding that the media and scientific journals decided within a matter of months that the efficacy of the practice could not be questioned or studied, nor its adverse effects discussed.
Anyone who thinks that “science” is settled after a year of implementation of a mechanism that ostensibly reduces disease spread does not understand the meaning of the word. Science is a process, by which new information and evidence are incorporated as they are discovered. Anthony Fauci and Andrew Cuomo are exploiting the term “science” to convey to the public that certain beliefs cannot be questioned, and they are being assisted by big tech platforms like YouTube, which obviously seek to control the parameters of the discussion.
No matter how many times these people repeat the word “science,” they are promoting precisely the opposite of science: dogma. By contrast, Dr. Baruch Vainshelboim is pushing us to think more broadly and fundamentally, in a way that connects with pre-2020 intuition, and for this he deserves immense credit, as does Medical Hypothesis for having published this paper. Both make a courageous attempt to analyze the costs of adopting universal masking, which is to say advancing real science.
ACTION: Please copy and paste this face mask information into emails and flyers and give to as many people as you can (you can’t post this on leading social media platforms without being suspended).
“It’s time to say enough is enough … I urge everyone in America to throw away their masks, demand their schools be open, and burn your vaccine passport if they try to give it to you.” Republican U.S. Senator Rand Paul, M.D., of Kentucky
The “lockdown” idea is new — and unproven, until now. As you know, “lockdowns” violate your God-given liberties and trample your hard-won, hard-defended U.S. constitutional rights. And they didn’t stop Covid transmission. Yet these inhuman, unconstitutional, unnecessary lockdowns have been very successful in dehumanizing people, depressing children, ripping away American birthrights, stealing livelihoods, and destroying and redefining life as we know it.
As destructive as lockdowns are, mask mandates are even more devilish — preventing you from buying or selling without one. The Anti-Christ would be proud. Even otherwise reasonable people imposed masks on themselves and upon others. This was the cult-like result of depending on unscientific, politically-correct authorities. Sadly, most people haven’t heard the real virus science proving tyrannical orders to “lockdown,” “mask up,” “social distance,” and “disinfect surfaces” don’t work — and aren’t permitted under the U.S. Constitution.
And now, the ultimate goal of the New Communists: a worldwide “health” database enabling them to keep track of you, permit you, limit you, and give you permanent status as a “number.”
None of this is needed
and only fools want it. So be wise and courageous! Resist these “new
normals,” which dehumanize you and your family, and trample your God-given
liberties and constitutional rights.
Orange County is the epicenter of the threat of “vaccine tracking” in California. What’s happening is this establishment-run county wants to develop tracking software, so tyrannical companies will use it to ban principled people who don’t take the vaccine due to health concerns from traveling on a plane, train, or bus, or from entering sporting events or other entertainment venues, and even from shopping (if big store chains adopt this unnecessary and unscientific ban).
Because Orange County’s public health officer, Dr. Clayton Chau, is trying to make his county’s “vaccine database” the model for California and beyond, it’s very important for you to add your voice against it.
SaveCalifornia.com received this latest alert from Orange County activists, which we’re providing to you. Please take action, no matter where you live.
However, if you live outside of Orange County, please leave your voicemails during non-business hours, do not leave your address or contact information, and do not reply to anything you receive from supervisors’ offices. This suggested letter can also provide talking points for you to write elsewhere (especially on Orange County media outlets).
CALL TO ACTION
Orange County is “piloting” a vaccine passport program via the Othena App. The OC Board of Supervisors met on April 13, and approved $3.8 million in taxpayer money to fund “vaccine verification” development for the app despite hundreds of residents demanding not to.
PLEASE CALL AND EMAIL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD
Andrew Do 714-834-3110 Andrew.Do@ocgov.com Doug Chaffee 714-834-3440 Fourth.District@ocgov.com Katrina Foley 714-834-3220 Second.District@ocgov.com Donald Wagner 714-834-3330 Donald.Wagner@ocgov.com Lisa Bartlett 714-834-3550 Lisa.Bartlett@ocgov.com
I am calling/writing to add my voice to the many Orange County residents who have already opposed your approval of expanding the Othena App to include infrastructure for “vaccine verification.” Aside from the blatant violation of HIPAA, by using taxpayer dollars to fund this tech infrastructure development, you are by, by default, allowing businesses to use this “Composite passport” technology to medically discriminate against the very people who are paying for it. On Tuesday, April 13, many residents demanded you put a stop to this development and you proceeded against the will of the people.
We the People request the following action with regards to the app development:
Effective immediately, cancel the contract between the OC Health Care Agency and Composite Apps, Inc.
Effective immediately, suspend the emergency order for the county. Under this order, you have signed over your elected power to one person, Health Director Chau. He has mismanaged and abused the authority granted to him long enough.
Effective immediately, I request the resignation or termination of Health Director Chau for implementing this contractual agreement to weaponize the Composite App technology against the very people paying for it. It was done in secret, it is medically discriminatory, and is a gross misuse of taxpayer dollars.

“…fight the urge that’s sweeping the globe to mandate people taking an experimental biological agent. This is a big fight we have on our hands. It’s not really the government first that we’re concerned about. We’re very concerned about private businesses mandating this — employers, schools, and travel, airlines in particular. You can imagine if all the airlines got together — the CEOS — and said, “you know what, we’re just going to mandate this” — the six biggest ones got together and said that. It’s just like the masks, right? You can’t avoid their mandates. This is a very big problem.” Dr. Simone Gold, founder, America’s Frontline Doctors, in January 2021
