All participants wore masks for about 30 minutes and then walked for 6 minutes, still wearing the face coverings. Using standard blood tests, researchers found no differences in levels of oxygen or carbon dioxide circulating in any of the participants' systems.like COPD may be best served by wearing masks.
"If you have a respiratory disease, you're at a much higher risk of contracting an infection, whether it's Covid-19 or the flu or any other respiratory problems," said Dr. Farrah Kheradmand, a pulmonologist and professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, who was not involved with the research., which are recommended for health care workers.
"We believe our data will help mitigate fears about the health risks of surgical mask use and improve public confidence for more widespread acceptance and use."
Yawn 🥱 Give it a rest now. LiberalPrivilege
Then it would seem to not work correctly then.
I disagree. Just like protests do not spread Covid-19, but church, nightclubs, amusement parks, sport gatherings, motorcycle rallies, etc. do spread it? The bias and behaving like us commoners are ignorant is what makes me realize the US needs a massive revolution!
Much of the Nation is months ahead of your world. You continue to post as if COVID is in control. In the NYC, DC, LA world it may be but much of the Nation has moved on and sees YOU as the ones behind. You live in a bubble. They are Blue ones.
The only reason you even need an article like this is because you keep kowtowing to the lowest common denominator in our society. They've already proven they don't listen to facts, you think throwing more numbers at them is going to change anything.
Sure....that's why people with respiratory issues are exempt from wearing them for covid.
No kidding
If they don't restrict air then how in TF do they possibly restrict viruses? Think people. It is like using chain link fence to keep mosquitoes out. Stupidity.
Studies also show they harbor dangerous germs and bacteria inside after just a few hours of wearing one. You're essentially creating a breeding ground for germs!
primadonna001 Hope this was an unpaid study!
Absolutely an idiot if you believe this
😂😂😂😂
For just a moment, I thought you might have been referencing a report that includes studies done in Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, France and Spain. Nope. Just a couple doctor groups in West Palm Beach FL.
What idiot would believe this in the first place? No mask is air tight.
Perhaps that’s why there are not MILLIONS OF DRS AND NURSES DEAD FROM WEARING MASKS FOR HOURS UPON HOURS EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK!
And it doesn’t give me a headache either. If I believe them.
ThisTwitIsLit I wear them, but it does cause me anxiety. It does cause discomfort of my breath. Anecdotally, I have experienced it.
And, nor does it protect you from getting COVID
No kidding? As if we couldn’t look at all the surgeons and nurses in this country and not know that.
No shit.
But for people with breathing problems like me, wearing a mask IS difficult and it feels like you can't breathe. I wear my mask every time I'm in public but I hate hearing these stories where they say it's not an issue for people with breathing issues. It is!
BS. depends on the mask used. I take mine off when working out, sucking in fabric is not healthy. News for ya, science if you can smell through your mask, it will nor stop the super small virus molecules.
Nor does it protect you from COVID-19!
Nor do masks prevent you from getting Covid
Only ignorant lack of knowledge think masks are bad... Because some misfit dysfunctional said it... Wear yours and stay safe. 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
Engineering tells use masks will only work for the particulate rating they are designed for. Does your mask work against COVID? If you do not know the particulate rating of, the mask vs the threat, the odds of it working is extremely low.
Something people with common sense already knew
No shit? Did you consult the thousands of health care workers who spend thousands of hours wearing PPE continuously, who suffer no ill effects to come to this brilliant fucking deduction?
Fuck that study...me that wears the mask I know it restrict my oxygen intake...I don't need your fucking studies to know that.
More of the main stream media lying to the public. It’s nothing new
Study not really needed for that fact, but the ignorant have made it so.
Not to contradict the importance of wearing a mask, but I worked through out the lock down earlier this year in the UK.A colleague nearly passed out, and was sick, and an ambulance was called. She'd been wearing a mask most of the day, and was breathing in co2. It had no filter.
Funny. EVERY. SINGLE. STUDY showed concerns about excessive CO2 inhalation in ventilated mask industry UNTIL. COVID. Now those studies have been scrubbed. Isn’t that strange?
There are thousands of nurses and doctors who have asthma and wear a mask every day. Also, if you have some kind of respiratory disease, it should be common sense to wear a mask: Covid is a respiratory illness.
I live Hiw networks gave become medical professionals, psychologists, scientists. They stopped counting oatients in ICU, numbers of deaths? Now it’s all about number of cases and masks, I look at us all & try to project in 10 treats what the kids will say looking back
Duh
You mean to tell me that someone had to spend money on a study for this? In other news, scientific studies have shown that at least 99.985% of people that have died were exposed to dihydrogen monoxide.
Uh! YES!, they do restrict oxygen intake
Fake News
100% HORSESHIT here by the LEFTWING Democrats owned media.
even for athletes while running? Why don’t i believe you?
Be a Patriot. Wear a mask. 🦅
Tell that to the RVAT2020 Its pretty clear that TheDemocrats wear masks. They are much smarter. THEY DON'T WANT TO DIE. Don't wear your masks see if we care.
If O2 can get through, why not the virus as well?
Publish this again and again and again. Ram it home. But it ain't news.
Bullshit
This has been known for decades. We wear masks for entire 12-hour shifts or longer. It gets hot. It can be a small annoyance. But, it's life-saving. For some, anxiety convinces them they can't breathe, but that's physiologically untrue.
Surgeons wear mask for hours on end doing something that requires a well oxygenated brain. This fake issue should never have gotten traction. A lot of Americans are dead due to the vanity of Trump who turned a personal decision into dangerous political idiocy
You cannot blame the public for being confused and lacking trust given the mixed messages. It's not as if the issue hasn't been raised before. California CLEARLY thought CO2 was an issue in long term wearing, and advised accordingly.
Then why do I find myself gasping for air all the time?
1918 to 1920 THEY wore a mask so that you could be born and be an Embarrassment to their sacrifice!
Somehow I don’t believe you.
Notice how you have no f'ing information on virus' This is a joke.
That’s why it’s so difficult to breath with one. It’s not safe.
I go to Public pools wearing a facemask. I haven't drowned yet. I believe one must lead by example
But they do make me breathe in my stanky breath
It doesn’t filter out oxygen (duh) IT RESTRICTS AIR FLOW.
If you Nazi Maskers are so hellbent on having 2 masks between you and the next person, feel free to wear two just in case the rest of us don't have one handy ... MaskKarens
I wear a mask in and out of places and quite a bit with my job. It restricts my breathing therefore It must affect my oxygen! It’s fine but it’s not good. I love to comply to keep myself and others safe.
theSopranoist Duh
False. And we’ve known for decades that they also don’t prevent the spread of a virus the size of .07 micrometers
Lies! ANYONE WITH A PULSE OXIMETER can check this!
I'm sure it's all in my head that I start to feel weak and queasy 10 minutes after wearing a mask. If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. If you are afraid of me for not wearing a mask stay home.
Dang it’s tiresome that select people think they get to decide how another is affected. It’s so, well, so DemoRAT of them.
Well, we all know what demographic this study was for
Breaking news. From two centuries ago.
Don’t keep explaining it to anti maskers
I remember a time The United States of America was considered a power house of intelligence and innovation.
It's because most of the maskholes complaining about it are a bunch of mouth breathers 🤷🏻♂️
The real question is: where can I get a bike-o-kart? That looks fun!
Of course it doesn’t. Any doctor or health care worker could have told you that.
DON'T BE SELFISH! Anyone worried about covid should STAY HOME! Masks and social distancing are killing the economy, forcing businesses into bankruptcy and driving people to the point of suicide. Don't require others wear mask, just stay home. Don't be selfish, STAY HOME!
Perhaps, but now I get ear pressure pain everytime I fly. Rebreathing your own stale air is unhealthy and disgusting.
Be transparent and full fact disclosure please! Alcholic beverages cannot be sipped wearing a mask! Need a straw!
Small businesses can't make a profit with a third the revenue due to social distancing and masks. Those being hurt are those who can least afford it, very often minorities. When did Dems stop caring about minorities and become the party of large corporations? LatinosForTrump
I can't help but wonder how many antimask covidiots think they are being deprived of oxygen and breathing in carbon dioxide when in reality... they are merely smelling their own bad breath in their mask? 🤔
Let's protect ourselves by putting on our masks whenever is necessary.
Covid has 99.9% survival rate. Small businesses can't make a profit with a third the revenue due to social distancing and masks. Those being hurt are those who can least afford it and very often minorities. Americans will always choose freedom over fear.
Nor has wearing masks ever shown to prevent viral infections, so I guess we’re all done here. They’re used for prevent bodily fluid exposure.
Masks don't work.
No f*cking sh*t. This has always been known by every doctor for all time.
How is it for casual hook ups?
Nor does it stop virus molecules like covid from passing trough!
Those anti-maskers would be very upset if they could read
Nor does it prevent catching or spreading covid.
WHY do we even have to keep repeating this? The anti-masker nuts won't listen and the rest of us already get it.
No shit
It's been proven time and time again. Doesn't matter to those who get their facts from 'doctors' (in alternative medicine) and Facebook memes.
I have asthma, I breathe fine with a mask. When I get cold, then I start to have problems. When I get bronchitis I end up at the ER because my nebulizer isn't enough. Staying safe, never had pneumonia which I can only imagine how bad that would be. Covid-19 will probably kill me.
Can't wait for the news report that water is wet
Good news. One less excuse for people who refuse to wear a mask.
My mother-in-law bless her soul, was a bit of a hypochondriac, but she did have allergies. she wore mask everywhere she went! People were looking at her back then. she would fit in now! I’m relieved she doesn’t have to see the world as it is now.☹️ 👵🏼❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
JuddApatow
Let me guess? Wearing a blindfold doesn’t hamper my vision either? You assholes are unbelievable...
blakehounshell I'm sure the MAGA Facebook trolls will all post retractions now that a study has been completed.
Tom_Winter That because they are so porous that O2 flows in well...... oh wait, that means Covid can pass through easily too...🤷🏻♂️
It’s like people don’t know what fabric is...
Same “studies” that has up MARINATING IN RAT POISON since the 50’s great perception “Guss”...
KatyTurNBC Training masks exist for a reason, to make you 'workout your breathing' and adapt, any impediment to breathing acts to some extent as a training mask. Science is never black or white, unlike half-assed 'journalism'.
If it’s not restricting those small particles then it’s not stopping COVID. It’s just the religious cloth of those who are scared and too stupid to take real precautionary measure.
If masks do not restrict the amount of oxygen coming in or cause a build up of carbon dioxide how do they keepthe virus in or out?
Duh!
This really should have gone into more detail about what type of cloth masks were measured. There are so many different materials and plys. Guarantee some cloth masks restrict oxygen intake more than others.
JuddApatow Why is this still a question?
realDonaldTrump see you still can breathe even with all that hot air you blow out.
lisaling A nurse debunked this myth a few months ago by showing the results of different types of masks. You should find her and credit her.
A summary of this article 👇
AlexFlumTV Yes, surgeons and surgical staff have known this for quite some time.
It’s a study that is probably funded by Bill Gates
KatyTurNBC The only people who believe that nonsense are TheDumbestAmericans, unfit to operate even a teaspoon without competent assistance.
KatyTurNBC Y? Y ON EARTH IS A STUDY NECESSAY Wearing of masks began in 1897, “a piece of gauze tied by two strings to the cap, sweeping across the face to cover the nose & mouth & beard”.
JuddApatow We should not waste our time with studies to debunk idiotic claims made by moronic trump supporters.
BS
MonicaPerezShow freedomactradio lol these people say anything
Then why is it difficult to breathe in one?
Talk to optometrist. They are seeing a large number of ulcers in the eye because of carbon dioxide flowing into the eye because of mask wearing.
In your headline you forgot, 'nor does it stop a small virus.'
Nor does it protect you from Covid. And yes, I wear one anyway.
Try waking up with shortness of breath and chest pain. No heart attack or Covid19. It’s due to wearing a mask for some people. Not everyone is the same.
So what legitimate reason “medically” is there for NOT WEARING A MASK. (Asking cause I remember attending MC accident where rider’s head was everywhere and his wallet had a doctor note saying a helmet gave him headaches.
Masks off!! MasksOffAmerica MasksOff
You forgot the part that it does not prevent you from getting the dreaded wuhan corona virus.
My body says this is false Lmao
We already believed this to be the case but now there is overwhelming evidence to support it. Great, now will you WearAMask ?
Nor does it restrict the amount of virus you inhale or exhale. 🤷🏼♂️
Depending on the level of pressure kneeling on someone's back still allows them to breathe even though they say they can't.
Bull shit
Total BS! I wear it and know I the impact of mask. Your study is propaganda!!! NBC fake news trying to convince me the sun rises in the west.
Then WHY do I have trouble breathing when wearing one? Masks- covering the face with cloth is NOT natural or good for anyone!
No shit. Signed, every surgeon, surgical nurse, and OR tech.
Well, kinda already knew that since doctors and nurses haven't been passing out for generations.
The Karen's of the world will never believe this.
...nor do they protect you from the Coronavirus
Bull! It’s not natural and WILL have an effect on the lungs years to come! Especially, the morons that put masks on their toddlers!
Zero competitors in the 2020 Tour de France wore mask while competing in the race. I think world-class athletes might know more about this than nbcnews.
twigstories Yes, this actually happened.
deebitch65 I had a lung operation four years ago they removed part of my lung I wear a mask eight hours a day I have no problem
They also don’t stop the spread of Covid.
grantstern Meanwhile in Florida DeSantis equated people fighting the return of students to classrooms as the “flat earthers of our day.”
Why does everyone I know have difficulty breathing with them on, then?
Mask don't prevent covid
i’m guessing a confine place has no effect on oxygen level. lol can we tie them up and tape them in plastic bags ?
Everyone who isn’t a trump supporter knows this.
Obviously. Or surgeons and surgery nurses would all have health related problems. They wear masks for hours on hours in surgery. 😷😷
JAMA called masks a talisman. wash your hands. Keep your distance.
These ppl are a disgrace lying to the ppl every day
Until other studies show it does.
Whoever did this study should try reading, with a mask on, to a room of 7th graders- half online and half in the room. I thought I would pass out.

Has anyone tested the content of the disposable masks coming from China? I’m hoping it’s not another Chinese Drywall fiasco.
Yeah smart people with reason k ew that already - BIG SIGH!!!
Ok, so the test proved that the lungs are efficient at processing the air it gets. What it does not show is the effort it took. For someone with asthma, a mask makes it harder to breathe. Does that mean don't wear a mask? No! Just don't act like some people don't have it harder.
Bullshit
Show me one of those masks. Dont get me wrong Im not one of the morons who do not wear a mask, I truly believe they protect you. But I also believe they do restrict your oxygen intake.
Me: Sir, please wear your mask over your nose. 30 y.o. male w mask on his chin signing docs at my outdoor, curbside office table: No, I can't breathe with it on bc I have asthma. Me: I too have asthma *wears 😷 and sweats her ass off, but never complains
Surgical staff everywhere: 'you don't say...'
Or do they protect you from contacting Covid!
Only idiots thought this, hope they can read.
So air gets through just fine... but not the virus?
THE COMMUNISTS ARE TRYING TO CONTROL US, AND TAKE OVER AMERICA. WAKE UP!!!!!!
But what about these studies....
Do they increase work of breathing? If not then you aren’t being protected. Surgical mask and cloth coverings are useless.
And if you want gorgeous masks check them out here. WearAMask and make it ours . Retweet and share.
srobinson2020 That we have to study this to convince the dumb ass MAGAs is ridiculous. How have surgeons functioned all these years? Dummies and covidiots.
They are also safe for children 2 years old. This no one under 10 crapola is just that. You got a kid that walks, they can safely wear a mask.

If masks truly reduce oxygen then why can surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists wear them for hours at a time? While making critical decisions for a patient's outcome?
You mean Plandemic was wrong? Shocker!
🙄 duh; this didn’t need to be studied.
Says all of us nurses who have worn masks for 12 hours at a time for years.
Duh..
!
No shit.
A lot of us knew that already... but, damn those deniers.
Properly made surgical masks may not be harmful as it is designed to allow sufficient intake of oxygen but I have purchased masks where it is quite difficult to breathe(thru). As to cloth coverings, I have some that I did not use because of a strong smell of chemicals
You know what does fuck with your lungs… Covid
That must be why I haven't passed out or died from wearing a mask for 10 hours at work.
Surgical staff everywhere: 'you don't say!'
Apparently protesting police doesn’t spread the virus either right MSDNC?
...but, they are uncomfortable as hell.
LOL, my neighbor just told me only 4 got COVID from the WH event...my response, “uhhhh no, 12 including the President.” Her reply, “I highly doubt it, Fox News only reported 4. You should probably stop watching other news companies.” Her name is Karen. 😂🤦🏻♀️I hate FOX NEWS!
Neither does a pillow pressed firmly over your face I suppose.
Nor does it protect from any virus 🙄
But wut bout them 5g towers. You aint talkin bout those are ya?
If masks work why are there still lockdowns
No shit 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
IOW - Stop being stupid.
Study shows it does restrict drinking and eating.
This just in, science. Guess who's always been wearing a mask and is COVID free?🤔 👇
In other news: water is wet
Then why do people feel sick wearing one.
No shit...
I take my O2 level wearing a mask and not wearing one , it most definitely does. By at least 5 points . ANYONE THAT HAS A PULSE OXIMETER CAN CHECK IT THEMSELVES
Muslim women and many Saharan men cover their faces and have been breathing clean.
Literally have seen weird masks out there that make no sense. How could anyone use half of their BRA for face mask?
Why is this still even a fucking thing in the age of near unlimited information? Oh yeah, stupid people exist.
FakeNewsMedia
Bullshit, a fake study.
StinaSternberg
BS, of course it dies. FU
Every fool who claims wearing a mask compromises their breathing— would they rather try a ventilator?
As a mask wearer; I’ve been restricted oxygen during heavy work while wearing a mask. Case closed. Still gonna wear it...but, just saying.
Dr.s and nurses could have told you that. They've been wearing them all day for years.
They crazy there is a big difference breathing through the mask especially the cloth ones. You can feel the difference in the amount of air. Why if I am in a store and no one is around I uncover the nose.
No shit
Keep trying to sell that lie. That’s like saying earmuffs don’t effect hearing.
And based on journalist getting from rose garden nor does it prevent Covid. Nor does a negative test.
thelogicalbird What was this study? Looking around and seeing thousands of masked people moving around without falling over dead?
Check this out on Wakelet - via wakelet
Which most of us non idiots already knew.
....nor does it protect you from airborne pathogens. Ur welcome
Dude. I wear a mask all the time and I will first hand tell you it gets difficult to breath. It's not bad to the point I'm willing to risk others health by not wearing it but anyone will tell you it restricts some breathing.
the only reason covidiots don’t wear a mask is... they have bad breath and can’t stand smelling their own 💩 truth
That's carbon monoxide we breath out. And I've gotten dizzy and also a few head aches from wearing a mask too long.
What about Staff infections On children's Faces
Actual studies show NBC is not news after all
Also, it does not protect against ANY virus.
No shit. - doctors
We all know. Even the President .
Shhhhhhhhh! Don’t interrupt a Republican while they’re thinning the herd!
They don't stop Covid19, either.
Such a shame Western knowledge is way behind the Chinese on breathing matters.
New World Order shills! You're not going to win the war. 160 mil people in these countries don't give a flying f about your effing masks, and they are doing fine. Down with the fascist NWO!
Yet another alert for the uneducated. As Trump would say, 'sad'
Ok ok ok but what if you’re... stupid? Like incredibly stupid? Is it then ok to print fake medical exemption cards from the internet that claim that you medically can’t wear a mask to show to employees at the grocery store when they ask you to put on a mask? What about that?
Obviously not. I ran, biked and climbed in a mask. If you can't breathe in a mask it's because you are in terrible shape or have a serious lung disorder
Good luck telling these facts to the MAGA crowd. KeepAmericaSick MakeAmericaSickAgain
FACT CHECK: That's why people get overheated and light headed when they were them for prolonged periods of time.
Why would you need a study for this? Medical professionals wear these while performing complex procedures and surgeries all day long.
Did Kamala drop her mask?
與智慧人同行的，必得智慧； 和愚昧人作伴的，必受虧損。 箴言 13:20 CUNP-神 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20 KJV
Carbon dioxide will diffuse through pulmonary fibrosis, think the mask is ok
A 30 minute test? Wow, now do four hours like people at my place of employment have to do. This is a stupid study with a small amount of people for a short time.
Why?
Nor does it stop carina virus.
Nor does it help slow the virus.
Yes it does You are spearing false information that threatens our health.
Citing one study that used 30 people who wore masks for 30 minutes and draw a definitive conclusion from that? Also telling how every mainstream news org is saying the exact same while vaguely citing “researchers in Miami” as their source.
I deleted my Facebook awhile back, but have family and friends on there, it would be beneficial to post this on there every 5 minutes.
Wear a fooking mask. WearAMask
'No shit.'- everyone with half a brain.
Interesting
I heard that trash bags are effective.
Why do we need a study to confirm something that we have known for centuries?
BS. After about 20 minutes I develop headaches and nausea from wearing a mask. Listen to someone talk and you can hear them struggle to breathe. This year, this independent will be a single issue voter, voting against a mask mandate.
The proof that your assertion is wrong is simple to prove. Take a person with COPD and measure blood O2 level. Put a N95 style mask on them. Wait 5 minutes and measure again. O2 will drop. Fake news YOU.
I hear they mitigate the spread of respiratory disease
Yes it does. Wearing a mask for one day gave me a severe sore throat
Yeah like wearing a mask 8-12 hours a day 5 days a week didn’t already prove that?
Neither does not wearing a mask, and they don’t keep the virus from spreading either...
Every doctor and nurse ever breathing a sigh of relief 🙄
This is incorrect and should be removed by Twitter. It absolutely restricts the flow of air. That is actually the entire supposed point of wearing them!!
Since you are exhaling about 98.6 degrees, it is like wearing a face heater though. 😐
Any studies state the opposite? Why did you choose to present this study? FYI I don't need a study to know that covering my mouth and nose with a cloth will hamper my breathing and restrain the flow of oxygen. I hear it from people everyday. I CAN'T BREATHE IN THIS THING
Bandanas or N95. Masks are not uniform.
Condensation is a breeding ground for fungi and bacteria. Making your kids or asthmatic's wear one all day is deadly.
