Pierre Kory, USA Today, July 1, 2020, one of the self-professed "five smartest guys in the pandemic::
"The fact that the maximal exhaled viral load of infected persons occurs before the development of actual symptoms should concern all who might come into close indoor proximity with maskless presymptomatic 'super spreaders'."

Here is an extended pull quote from PIERRE KORY, your Joe Rogan starring FREEDOM WARRIOR:
👇
As intensive care unit specialists in New York City, we are concerned about the increasing rates of COVID-19 infection, which may once again overwhelm our hospitals, in parts of the United States.
The severity, morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 must be re-emphasized to all, both young and old, as it spares neither. To avoid a catastrophic repeat of the initial surge, we recommend a population-wide intervention — a significant increase in the use of N95 masks — that might allow for a safer reopening of the U.S economy.
SARS-CoV-2 was thought to be primarily transmissible via large fluid-filled droplets generated by coughing or sneezing. Those droplets usually travel short distances before falling and will not reach another person practicing social distancing nor penetrate standard (cloth or surgical) masks.
However, it has recently been determined that a major mode of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is via aerosol droplets, exhaled by presymptomatic, asymptomatic or symptomatic persons. These small aerosol particles remain airborne indoors for extended periods and can infect those nearby who inhale them into their lungs.
We believe that the lack of emphasis placed on the prevention of aerosol droplet transmission is a major contributor to the rising case numbers in many areas of our country.
What can be done to prevent the inhalation of these aerosols and therefore reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2? The only mask that can prevent aerosol-size droplet inhalation is an N95.

Too few Americans wearing masks
Here is the key: Standard masks, although only partially effective in blocking inhalation of aerosols compared with the near perfect blocking performance of medical grade N95 masks used in hospitals, are highly effective at trapping the large droplets exhaled by infected people.
These large particles downsize to aerosol size after emission when they undergo evaporative loss. Although standard masks are imperfect in both blocking or trapping, their combined performance when worn by both infected and noninfected persons leads to a low likelihood of transmission.
The key point is that, for standard masks to be effective, there needs to be near universal wearing of these masks by all persons when in any poorly ventilated, air-recirculated, confined indoor, or highly congested outdoor environment. Conversely, emphasizing mask wearing in fresh air outdoor settings has no epidemiologic support and thus makes little sense.
Unfortunately, in some parts of the United States, the proportion of citizens routinely wearing standard masks in at-risk environments is nowhere near what's required to prevent spread. The fact that the maximal exhaled viral load of infected persons occurs before the development of actual symptoms should concern all who might come into close indoor proximity with maskless presymptomatic “super spreaders.”
Would it perhaps be better for everyone to wear masks proudly in all public spaces (with air gaps, breathing holes, mesh for comfort and health) with a short url printed on them to a very simple and friendly website showing all of the contagion study results/ virology control experiments etc?
The problem with non-mask wearers was always that they could never communicate their reasons for not wearing a mask. But what if masks became the new 'subversive' T-shirts......free billboards for the masses?
Unfortunately, we live in a country full of sheep Peggy. After all you have done to help humanity during this despicable and satanic hoax, those of us who understand are still in the minority. I live in a small city called Massillon, Ohio. I am surrounded by neighbors who fell for the hoax hook line and sinker 5 years ago despite any and all information I would present to them. All they watched (and still do) is the MSM propaganda machine. They all took shots (and now have health problems) and they ignored every video or article that I showed them from so many people who know the facts, including you. The election will be stolen again in no uncertain terms and again, the sheep will sit back and do nothing. Apathy and ignorance is what put us in this position and sadly, I won't say here what it will take to save this country, but it certainly is not voting or complying with illegal edicts. And unless Americans understand what the true patriots understood about tyranny over 240 years ago, the American Experiment will come to an end.
San Francisco now is a toilet with shit piling up on the streets, hat they really need to hand out is nose-plugs. They also prevent proper breathing, but at least they help against the stench.
Let's get down to the basics. Ordering medical treatment, medical device, medication, or therapy, is the purview of a medical doctor or physician. The unelected bureaucrats ordering such medical intervention is essentially practicing medicine without a license. That is a crime! FDA, CDC, NIH, FAUCI et al, Governors, State Health Departments, they all need to be held to account for their criminal actions. Government at any level has no business in the practice of medical care. Indict and Defund them all!

My son was severely punished by his “Catholic” high school in a Feb 22 mask protest. His video of kids cheering went viral and was reposted by conservatives. The school publicly shamed him and after 6 weeks when the isolation and shame was too much we had to withdraw him from the school. My one regret is going along with the hogwash for 300 days but it was the only way to try and keep our lives as normal as possible and it was anything but normal. I lost a lot of “friends” and coaches, teammates and 95% of the people we associated with never spoke to us again. The blind disregard for facts and truth and the adherence to a political agenda was appalling. I pray daily that the evil doers at St. Viator HS in Arlington Heights, Illinois and the community members who allowed public shaming of students are held accountable by God. I never want to see this happen again. As a parent I still deal with the trauma daily and although my son is a functioning college student today, it’s been a long, painful road.
Hey there Peggy- as an icu nurse for many years the fit test is not what you describe… fit testing is usually done once a year by the hospital admin as a check the box precaution - it’s a procedure which involves the nurse applying and securing an N95 mask/once the mask is on- a hood is put over your head with a small opening- saccharin sodium dihydrate is then sprayed into the hood and if you can taste it- it means the mask is not sealed correctly. In the hospital, N95 masks are used to protect nurses from Tuberculosis and other airborne contagions. In addition to the N95,
the hospital usually provides the patient a room with reverse isolation which includes special filtration of air into the room- it’s not a perfect system but put in place to hopefully decrease the chances of contracting TB…
If you stay perfectly still while wearing the mask- no facial movement that is, you may have a seal, but it’s practically impossible…wearing the N95 when it’s properly fit tested is very uncomfortable and hot but can be done for short periods of time..… Having to wear it all day would be HELL.
As a side note, I quit nursing in 2021 when they pressured us to get the jabs- so I’m not pro jab or mask- but I thought you might like to know what the fit test consisted of… the admin definitely doesn’t care about our heart rate or any shortness of breath the mask might contribute to… they just want to cover their asses.
Make way once again for the virtue signallers! 🙄

I don't do mask from day one
Mental
Is there any way to get The Healthy American or Peggy Hall as a podcast? Love the stories and videos but I have more time to listen to it. Thanks
Thank you! Yes, best is to listen to my youtube videos as a podcast.

Prob the new "gmo flying syringes" they've been dropping over the country.
They likely don’t need voter ID either
And Ohio State University has decided that no healthcare worker should receive a shot - just all the other people. You can’t make up this stuff!!!
Question medical advice given out by government 'agencies.' Period.

At the 2 hr 26 min 30 sec mark....I went over how an entire middle school class identifies as trans.
