So how small are viruses really? The short answer is very very very small! You need an electron microscope to see one. So this is nothing like water droplets, a grain of pollen or dust – which are like mountains in comparison. Now add to that – viruses are SO small – they can enter the human body via your eyes and even the pores in your skin! Now – if you want to think for yourself if a mask might stop something so small – imagine you took a long drag on a cigarette. Now image the lungfuls of air your about to expel are brightly coloured like the flare of a skydiver. Q; if you were to place a mask on your face and exhale – how long would it take for the air all around you and in the room to turn green – or whatever colour gas you have in your lungs – bearing in mind the colour you see in the air is mainly coloured water vapour – droplets that are infinity larger than a virus!
So why do surgeons wear masks?
Simple – bacteria are MUCH larger than viruses and wearing a mask minimises spread of water droplets in the air via sneezing and other facial material and land on an extremely exposed and often a literally opened patient. So what’s in the water droplets? BACTERIA. Yes – bacteria IS spread is minimised (not stopped) by wearing masks and bacteria are 1000’s times larger than viruses. You can easilly kill a patient by not wearing a mask via spread of bacteria that enters a patient that inhales it of is sewn up with virus on their tissues – but it will not stop your virus spreading to them if you have one. If you have a cold – don’t operate – simple as that!
Bacteria are GIANTS compared to viruses! “The smallest bacteria are about 0.4 micron (one millionth of a meter) in diameter while viruses range in size from 0.02 to 0.25 micron. This makes most viruses submicroscopic, unable to be seen in an ordinary light microscope. They are typically studied with an electron microscope.”
So why were masks prescribed when the super-high IQ and learned micro-biologists know that viruses can get through and around any mask in seconds?
Well – what would you do if you didn’t have the strongest spine in the box – and you knew that to say anything against would result in a lot of your superiors, fellow colleagues and all the medical companies related to your work losing millions – even billions of $$ in revenue – and you losing years of hard-earned professional status and income and perhaps even your practice thrown in the trash? I think we know the answer as to why more are not speaking up is obvious. There are few truly strong people left in the world willing to stand up for truth. Speaking the truth in many cases will get your fired, ostracised, excluded from society, ruined, removed from an institution that prefers its people to turn a blind eye, sometimes divorced, often as the old saying goes – the truth will get you killed. If you think that’s an over-statement – ask Jesus.
