Even if they worked (and study after study shows they don’t) the fact that you don’t have to wear one while you’re eating and drinking makes the whole thing a joke. Because of course Covid doesn’t spread then does it?! More troubling is the research that shows that masks are actually harmful to you because you’re inhibiting your oxygen intake, rebreathing CO2 and inhaling plastic micro-particles from the masks. Air crew should be suing CASA for making them wear them given the considerable harm to your health from prolonged use of masks.
There's a question of who made whom do what. More likely that the airlines made the employees do stuff, and the regulators did nothing, which is a whole other scenario in itself.
As for mask use, a UK carrier's policy re masks actually said that masks needed to be worn at all times on board, everywhere in the cabin unless eating or drinking. However, anyone in Business Class or First Class could remove their masks when lying down, which could have been the vast majority of any long haul flight.
That's the level of "quality" thinking throughout aviation in Covid. You cannot explain such a policy one way or the other. Keep eating and drinking or lie down and that's all OK.
It's an absolute disgrace that there is a mandate in wearing masks but zero scientific data supporting the decision. Which 'authority' should ensure a letter with reasons laid out for these decisions? Who, what organization takes RESPONSIBILITY for these edicts? Not even a contact number if a person wants further information or has questions? Instead a completely ad hoc situation where the blind follows (or leads??) the blind. This seems to the the gold standard of 'follow the science'. What a joke, but unfortunately Im not laughing.
Red pilling doctors. How. Can we send them a letter through each hospital in each city. 1. DOJ WHISTLE BLOWER HEARINGS. LINK. 2. PFIZER DOCUMENTS RELEASES most significant findings 1 through 4. Links. Significant adverse events medical literature, link. All cause mortality link. Insurance industry data. Link. Ask for volunteers from each city to track the Hospitals physicians, addresses and emails. Then do with nurses. Then do with spiritual leaders. Then do with school board trustees. Then do with teachers. When MSM spouts 24-7 lies we need to organize.
I spent 5 hours in the emergency room last month for a w/u that urgent care refused to do (not related to Covid or any respiratory issues). Long story short I was wearing a KN95 mask the entire time. I arrived at 1538hrs, they drew my blood at approximately 1802hrs, the only abnormal lab value I had was an elevated serum CO2 level. I am a nursing instructor at a college and wear that mask for 10hrs/day. So in only 2.5 hrs my CO2 level started to rise, imagine my level after 10 hrs.
I linked information regarding issues with chronic elevated CO2 levels as well as a German study done on children's CO2 levels wearing masks.
It's not rocket science, just common sense. I hope you are able to sue. If not I would demand CO2 monitoring if they are insisting you continue to wear masks.
I have collected hundreds of studies on the harms and ineffectiveness of face masks here: http://www.kathydopp.info/COVIDinfo/FaceMasks Note. I do not sell anything so did not purchase a secure server, so ignore your browser's security warning and go to the site anyway.
In the US face masks are an Emergency Use Only procedure, so may not be legally mandated. The unethical US CDC published a few biased studies purporting to show face masks are effective by ignoring some variables, and by cherry picking which locations to look out. When corrected, the findings of the US CDC do not hold up to scrutiny and the studies showing harms of face masks are plentiful.
