The following report is from ABC News:
Any mask is better than no mask. But loosely woven cloth masks provide the least amount of protection and Americans in some cases might want to opt for higher quality masks like KN95 and N95 respirators, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wrote Friday in updated online guidance.
Wearing a highly protective mask or respirator may be most important for certain higher risk situations, or by some people at increased risk for severe disease.
The CDC stated
The updated guidance comes after weeks of health experts urging Americans to upgrade their masks in the face of omicron, warning that cloth masks are not effective enough at stopping the highly transmissible variant from spreading.
But with much of the public reluctant to wear a mask at all, the CDC recommendation stops short of calling on Americans to choose one mask over the other, maintaining that any mask is better than no mask. The CDC also argues that higher quality masks can be less comfortable, and if a person takes it off, they are left with no protection.
What I will say is the best mask that you can wear is the one that you will wear and the one you can keep on all day long that you can tolerate in public indoor settings and tolerate where you need to wear it.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the CDC director, told reporters this week
N95 and KN95 masks can be costly and harder to find, even as the U.S. government has built up a stockpile of 737 million N95s to ensure first responders don’t run out. President Joe Biden said this week he is developing a plan to make the higher quality masks more widely available.
Next week we’ll announce how we’re making high-quality masks available to the American people for free.
Biden said
In its earlier guidance, the CDC urged Americans not to purchase surgical N95 masks so as to save them for health care workers. However, it noted that “basic disposable” respirators can be an option so long as supplies are available.
While this latest guidance stops short of calling on people to wear a certain type of mask, it includes more information about why a person might opt for a nonsurgical N95 or a KN95. It also suggests wearing a disposable surgical mask with a cloth mask over it to improve the fit.
Some masks and respirators offer higher levels of protection than others, and some may be harder to tolerate or wear consistently than others. It is most important to wear a well-fitted mask or respirator correctly that is comfortable for you and that provides good protection.
The CDC stated in the updated guidance.

[20] O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: [21] Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:20-21
I have not worn a mask of any kind since this whole thing has started, and I am not going to start. I challenge these rulers and authorities to walk up and try put a mask on me. See how that goes.
I have covered these masks, of all kinds, in a detailed report exposing their laughable protection for illness.

[8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I’ll admit that I initially did the mask thing at the start when they made it mandatory here. But it was only when I was going to the store and buying groceries. However, the Lord showed me that it was wrong through your studies, brother Jacob. After praying about it and seeking the guidance from the Lord, I’ve since stopped from doing it, and repented of it.
I won’t be doing it again either. Fortunately I was able to get an exemption, which is lawful in my state according to their own rules. But ironically I haven’t even had to use it, since no one has stopped me and, asked me why I don’t have a mask on. I feel a bit foolish for caving in the first place.
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
It’s all good. It happens from time to time. In 2020 when I was writing “The Lord of Glory,” I had previously worked for my dad’s drywall company. During the summer I took a break from the book and helped him out for two days at this factory that needed a new room hung and finished. Both of us didn’t know it, but the state required mandatory temperature testing. Both of us groaned about it, but we did it anyways, and had our foreheads scanned. It was so retarded. But never ever again will I be doing that – though, states have scrapped that all together since then. If it were just me and had driven in a separate vehicle, I would have just left, but I ended up compromising. I asked God for forgiveness for it, cause it enraged me over it. Never again on ANY of this stuff.
So many stores wanted me to wear a mask, but I just turned around and walked out. Thankfully, there was this farmer’s market in the area that didn’t care, and a few other stores, so I frequented those.
Right now in the state of Indiana, it’s almost right back to where it was in 2020 with the sheeple wearing masks. They are littered all over the place: and no store is mandating it, but that’ll probably change within a few weeks..
God bless, brother, and thanks for the support.
I did the same thing sadly but I’d lower it every chance I got and remove it at times too, so it was baby steps for me. I HATE masks, all this masking social distancing crap it’s as scientific as a horoscope…and just as evil as one too.
God bless you too, brother, and thanks for the encouragement.
“…all this masking social distancing crap it’s as scientific as a horoscope…”
Haha that’s a good one, brother Andrew, I’m going to use that. Thanks for giving me a good laugh. God bless you!
Brother Jacob Im with you on that.I have never worn a mask the whole time the scam pandemic started and Im not about to start.I absolutely refuse to take a death shot or a test that could possibly give me something.I do not trust hospitals, doctors or the government.These people have no common sense whatsoever of course your gonna get sick if you wear a mask over your mouth and nose all day long it will cut your oxygen off which goes to your brain therefore that in itself can affect you.They are only doing this to kill off the population.Its a agenda to get rid of Christians to.Real born again Christians. We are a threat to them. They want to serve Satan their father…John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil,and the lust of your father ye will do.He was a murderer from the beginning,and abode not in the truth,because there is no truth in him.When he speaketh a lie,he speaketh of his own:for he is a liar,and the father of it.
Brother Jacob I did the same thing about the forehead temperture thing about a year ago.I went to the health department and the lady offered me a mask I said no thank you.I dont wear mask then she said she needed to take my temperature so I could go in the back and before I could think I did the forehead scan for my temperature. I could of kicked myself for that I will never ever do that again.Why do they have to do a forehand temperature scan anyway?
I believe it’s to get people conditioned for the MOTB. This is because I believe there will be some sort of scanner which which will be used in conjunction with it (the mark that is). I saw a video on Bitchute a while back of someone pulling apart one of those forehead scanners and it had nothing inside it, and still operated the same way giving out the same temperatures. It’s almost like a useless prop for this whole shamdemic.
What Dale said, to condition people for the mark. It will be upon and in the forehead, so they to get the masses onboard with that idea. They scrapped it though, so I figure they’ll bring it back some new way eventually.
Interesting that those masks are mostly made in China.
