Trump killed NIOSH, the ones with labs that test masks.
There go masks. Your doctor will spread germs during your surgeries now. Hope MAGA enjoys the bacteria. |
OMG, no one can make these ineffective masks anywhere else on the planet.
We are all going to die |
I am sure we can figure this out stop being dramatic. |
Why should we have to "figure it out"? |
With tariffs? LOL You'll be paying 245% more for anything made in China, if you even trust their masks without the testing... |
FYI, Surgeons don’t wear N95 masks during surgery. They wear regular masks. |
I'm still going to pay whatever they cost and use them, especially when I travel or am around the elderly. I got Covid on a long plane flight last year, unknowingly passed it on to several relatives, and one of them died as a result. |
There are many different types of masks doctors wear. We wear n95’s when we treat certain diseases. TB, in particular, requires the use of an n95, and due to the dismantling of USAID, it’s just a matter of time before we see surges of multi drug resistant TB here. You can rationalize your brains out, but in a world that has experienced sars, mers and covid, and is always at risk for the next pandemic, canceling pandemic research, canceling medical research, stripping health departments to the bone, and canceling safety regulators is the height of stupidity. Not to mention, leaving the WHO. The U.S. strategy is, “Let’s just close our eyes and hope nothing bad will happen to us” |
I guess a lot of untested products will hit the market now
I am still mandated to wear n95s at work, I had best stock up |
Doctors don't wear N95s. |

Well this is a lie. Take this crap over to Fox. |
Duh. Regular masks are so you don't accidently infect the person you are operating on. They also wash their hands before surgery. |
i just bought a bunch with a 2028 expiration date. Supposedly they’re still pretty effective after the date.
I don’t use them too often right now, but who knows what other fun things will be floating freely in the coming years. |
Just because the United States is abandoning scientific research does not mean that will happen in the rest of the world. There will be scientific advances to fight infectious disease and we will just get the solutions from other countries instead of ourselves. |
