How come CNN isn't reporting this?

Trump doesn't want to hear about that. He would tell this patriotic American to go back to his country.

Tom Hanks turned off his comments. Chrissy Teigen deleted 60k tweets. HRC deleted 30,000+ emails. 'But they're all innocent and have nothing to hide' BS pizzagate Pedowood

Coronavirus particle size is .125 micron, N95 mask if worn properly filters to .3 micron, you’re masks aren’t stopping the election year virus. Plandemic

Thanks to this great SOUL--- the N95 face mask creator. The HUMAN race owes him A GREAT DEAL.//// 'Sir, Carry on please for our sake. THANKS Be To GOD for having created you...'

Trump will be attacking him now, claiming he invented the masks to make him look bad.

Thank you Mr Tsai

Does all manufacturers around the world use same technology in N95 masks. Isn't there any pilferage. These days N95 phrase is being increasingly used to befool the public.

That magical mask republicans think is so shitty it can’t stop a virus, yet made so well it blocks life saving 02 and keeps in C02.

America

Any questions?

Pls help thai people spread this we need our democracy back🙏🏻

Thank you...if only we had more people like him Real heroes

I was taught not to start sentences with “But”.

For people who don't wear masks is a New Fool

And does it actually stop 4 microns and below? Just a question.

But democrats faked numbers for political gains

I agree that people who are against wearing a mask are selfish because it is not just about you, when we are all in this fight against the Coronavirus and the COVID 19 disease together.

''Some people said, I don't care. I do not need to wear a mask,' he said. 'That is very selfish because you expose your germs to other people.'' This! People seem to think that, if masks help others more than the mask wearer, masks are useless. But helping others is the *point*.

Great American 🇺🇸

Taiwan is a province

He was probably cringing when media was saying not to wear a mask at all up until March. Our 20 years of coronavirus transmission wasn’t clear I guess. After the medical staff got their N95 masks a “lightbulb” moment happened with science and they deemed the masks to be good!

Pathetic

Sure

In the early years of the HIV epidemic, I volunteered fulltime live-in for a year at a hospice, I would sterilize my mask putting them in a bin with a humidifier filled with hydrogen peroxide till they were damp and let them dry. I dont know how effective it was but I was trying.

Great person

A true hero and American. If we can come out of retirement to help out. The least we could do is wear them and help do our part.

We stan!!

Mask one big hoax from the agency who brought you the zombie apocalypse 🧟‍♂️

True Patriot💕

Because thats whats heroes do and its what decent humans do. Cheers to you! A role model adults need right now lol

Great. But the focus should be on who created the virus. China.

Wow, We need more people like him who can help the world

Replace a confederate statue with Peter Tsai one. He has saved millions of lives.
