> [Ontario, Canada- Covid Cases Drop/No Masks Worn](https://pennyforyourthoughts2.ca/2022/05/30/ontario-canada-covid-cases-drop-no-masks-worn/)



**Let’s follow up on the above the real world observation:**

https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/05/26/counties-with-mask-mandates-had-higher-covid-19-death-rates/ 

> The observational [study](https://journals.lww.com/md-journal/Fulltext/2022/02180/The_Foegen_effect__A_mechanism_by_which_facemasks.60.aspx) – “*The Foegen Effect: A Mechanism by Which Facemasks Contribute to the COVID-19 Case Fatality Rate*” – was published in *Medicine* in February 2022, [authored](https://zachariasfoegen.wordpress.com/about/) by German doctor Zacharias Fögen.
> 
> The paper analyzed ***“whether mandatory mask use influenced the case fatality rate in Kansas”*** during the time period of August 1st, 2020 to October 15th. Kansas was used for comparison because the state allowed each of its 105 counties to decide whether or not to implement mask mandates, with 81 counties deciding against the measure.
> 
> ***“The most important finding from this study is that contrary to the accepted thought that fewer people are dying because infection rates are reduced by masks, this was not the case,”*** summarized the paper.
> 
> ***“Results from this study strongly suggest that mask mandates actually caused about 1.5 times the number of deaths or ∼50% more deaths compared to no mask mandates.”***
> 
> The study also posited a potential reason for the disparity in risk ratio (RR) for dying from COVID-19:

> 
> **They bypass the bronchi and are inhaled deep into the alveoli, where they can cause pneumonia instead of bronchitis, which would be typical of a virus infection.”**
> 
> “These findings suggest that mask use might pose a yet unknown threat to the user instead of protecting them, making mask mandates a debatable epidemiologic intervention,” concludes the paper.
> 
> The study follows [another](https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/05/16/study-finds-correlation-between-mask-compliance-and-covid-deaths/) recently published analysis of international data showing the same relationship between COVID-19 and masks.

**Mask wearing dropped in Ontario, Canada = Covid cases drop. However, lung cancer rates will surely increase**.
