The French government has warned that homemade cloth face masks may not adequately protect people from the new and more-infectious coronavirus variants.

French officials warn cloth masks may not be effective against Covid variants. They are worried more-infectious strains will bypass home-made protections. Advisers say surgical and professionally-made masks should be used instead.

We are fighting a virus NOT participating in a fashion show. Anything less than a surgical grade mask should not be used!

will29803 The fear porn continues

The only thing they are good for is to prevent being harrassed by the authorities and the panicky public.

Because they are useless against any virus.

Masks should be banned full stop

People still believing this crap need their head read.

Here I edited for you: Fabric masks may not protect you from any covid varients.

They never protected from the first variant either. In fact masks do fuck all. Evidenced by the fact we have all been wearing them Since March 2020 but the second wave when we are wearing masks is worse than the first wave when we didn’t! Clueless

Psst... Cloth masks didn't protect against the old varients, either!

This has been known in the scientific community for months, DM. Didn't quite suit the press narrative though I imagine?

Another load of bollocks

They don't protect against any virus! FFS!

because they don't protect against any viruses

who'd have thunk it that a fashion accessory was not fit for purpose.

They don't work against any of them. They don't work.

Well I’m completely shocked.

when will they get everyone walking around in full hazmat suits? or would a fish bowl over me 'ed be ok?

Well you don’t say 🤔

BOLLOCKS. No mask protects from ANY virus.

Of course they don’t

What are you supposed to do? Put your head in fucking concrete?

Can we see the evidence they used with masks on the old variant?

Fabric masks don't protect anyway

Oh what a surprise masks don’t work!

This seems to be about squeezing out the competition, not about health.

No surprise

Product should be sold

Of course they don’t. Thinking people knew this from the beginning.

Its time to start wearing Burqas. God works in mysterious ways. 😁

This is what happens with state sponsored panic. It turns people into thick as pig shit. Now they actually believe it works for one variant and not another. Meanwhile 1.5 mil died of TB in 2019, a nasty airborne virus. And masks were nowhere to be found.

🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏 no shit sherlock! get them to fk and let us live our lives! on the outside natural healing world

They didn't protect from any variant as was shown by the Danish mask RCT

😂😂😂

I thought we were always told masks are no protection but just MAY help slow transmission by catching our sneezes etc

Cool so let’s stop wearing them.

No shit Sherlock 😂

There is no virus

On the other hand a lucky rabbit foot is as good as a medical mask.

Yeah just screw the kids over even more, fill the planet with tonnes of plastic masks

Like if the other types would 🙄

No shit 👍🏼

Is it smaller than the last strain?

True. It didn't protect from the old ones either. Masks are useless against viruses. Get the net, man.

ThemysciranJZ They don't protect from any.

That’s all the eBay shops out of business 😂

UK Common Sense Expert replies: Masks only help muppets. No type of mask helps a non muppet.

Oh no....I do hope the cut up t-shirts still work

For crying out loud, we already know that masks do NOT protect from covid full-stop. That much is warned on the packaging! Aside from that, the evidence of fabric masks having ANY discernible effect against airborne viruses is sketchy at best. Plus there's nothing to protect from

🤣 NO face masks work with ANY variant of anything!

Let me guess. Some corrupt government adviser is going to recommend every citizen is issued with a biohazard suit and it just so happens can be supplied by a firm he / she knows🙄

Face masks don't protect from the old variants either.

Newsflash geniuses, they didn't protect from the old one😃

I don't listen to any medical advice from France...not since they said smoking prevented covid.🤔

If Covid is half the size of a smoke particle... why don’t firefighters enter blazing buildings with their Wilkos paper mask on?

And yet you have another article saying they work and reduce the R rate. So which is it? 😂

Quelle suprise

Translation: They are all useless, but bacterial infections are rising from the homemade ones and no money is being made from them, so we want you to think this way now...

Masks don't work - nothing else needs to be said.

One step closer to admitting they’re of limited, if any use?

It even says on the box, that the masks don't protect against the corona virus, like the vaccine manufactures saying that it doesn't stop people catching Covid or passing it on! But still the idiotic sheep obey 🐑

I think the a surgical mask is a medical grade type. The less orange the better the material.

No shit Sherlock!

Baz warns that anyone who takes the media seriously is in danger of becoming a hysterical sheep

Or indeed the old variants...

lol

Well I never.

Next thing next year's public inquiry will tell us that they had zero effect.

It is claimed that masks block the exhalation of droplets, not the virus. Unless droplets have suddenly changed size with a new variant, then the work as well as the did before. Or as poorly.

If they don't protect from 'new Covid variants', they don't protect from Covid. Full stop.

We all knew that already. So now we can buy the expensive ones, that will not protect either?

No masks work, it's a total farce.

Who could have guessed

So the mask knows which variant it is? Amazing.

Top advice👇👇👇

Well that’s because they don’t protect you from anything!

Not even spotty fabric masks? oh noes

Oh, great. Now we're going to have virtuous yummy mummies walking round like the SAS.

If people want to protect themselves, wear an N95 or FFP3 and goggles. And leave the rest of us alone.

The gaslighting and abuse continues

🙄

When are we going to realise the virus is in the AIR...that’s why random people are getting it even when they wear masks 🤔

All masks make any virus worse.

They didn't protect against the original variant so no change there!

We told you this last summer

Of course they DON'T! especially when one considers that the size of the Virus is similar to the size of the atoms that the oxygen in the air is made of,in fact they could aid & facilitate contagion by accumulation of viruses on the mask & us breathing them in or touching them!⤵

No shit Sherlock

As cases have risen everywhere they’ve been mandated it looks like they don’t prevent any. Perhaps they make it worse?

Oh well guess we’ll just go back to living a normal life then? ✅✅✅

We are obliged to wear them in France. It is not a choice for anyone over the age of 6 ..

Of course it won't, since it didn't from the other ones.

They never really worked.

Cloth masks don't do anything period.

French people are sometimes lost

Lol who needs masks 🙄😳

Be fair .... any Virus

I don’t think masks work anyway, however what’s changed between the variants to say they won’t work for the new variant but will work for the original variant? Are they basically saying masks actually don’t work at all?

Right on cue here they come....

Duh

We can see where this is going: mandate a certain type of mask next and roll on $$$$$ for selected companies 💰💰💰

They do not protect from any variant.

Variants? What a joke. They don't protect against COVID, period.

If U have less than 1k followers like me Follow for a follow bck ASAP

SHOCK

Any mask protect ?

The masks have never worked

Guessing there’s no science behind this. Ffs. Cloth and paper ain’t gonna stop a tiny microscopic virus 🦠

the virus didn't change its size also mask can't stop it

No shit

Should we try plastic then ? That'll cure everything !!!

Crazy. Are they seriously saying that paper thin ‘surgical’ masks are any more effective than thicker cloth ones? There is no longer any effort to argue science on masks. This is purely about standardisation and control.

We already knew that. Much less effective than medical masks.

It Will.. but they're basically useless... U need a vaccumcleaner bag

They didn’t work against the old variant so ye

But if the virus can enter through your eyes as some reports said the face masks are not used to protect the wearer but rather to stop the wearer from spreading the virus themselves. Just like doctors have been wearing face masks for years so as not to infect their patients.

Not too long ago no masks whatsoever protected from the virus with decades of peer reviewed studies to prove it.

The mask resistant strain 🤣

Dang... Now what?

Like they protect you from any variant 🤣🤣🤣🤣
