The Foegen Effect: Why Face Masks Increase the Death Rate of COVID-19 - Zacharias Fögen MD
"My study on masks has finally appeared in the prestigious journal Medicine.
My study, based on the U.S. state of Kansas..: case mortality was significantly lower in counties without mandatory masks. Mandatory masking increased case mortality there by 85%.
The reason for this is what I call the Foegen effect: deep re-inhalation of condensed droplets or pure virions which were trapped in the mask as droplets can worsen the prognosis. Each of these steps has been documented in the literature.
A peer-reviewed study in the journal Cureus shows that there is no association between mask compliance and case numbers in Europe, but there is a statistically significant positive association between mask compliance and deaths. This means: more mask use, same number of cases, but more deaths."
