Erie Biologist Creates COVID-Killing Copper Mask reads the headline on Erie News Now.
An Erie woman has created a mask she says kills COVID-19 virus particles on contact. Dr. Phyllis Kuhn created an all-copper mask, made of mesh, after spending more than forty years in medical research. Kuhn and her company Kuhn Copper Solutions claim the mask is self-disinfecting and kills viruses, including COVID-19. She says the mask is non-absorbent and instantly kills the virus with its positive charge. "It actually traps pathogens," says Kuhn. "Pathogens, viruses, algae, bacteria - they're all negatively charged. These are positively charged. So, if they get on here, and hit and adhere, they're fried." 40 years of research...how impressive! On her website she says the mask deposits tiny amounts of copper atoms in the nasal area and claims it even self-disinfects itself within 10 minutes. Wow! The website is chock-full of 5-Star reviews from “real” customers who positively gush over the mask’s effectiveness. Wait ‘till Dr. Fauci hears about this; we will all have to get one. This product is right up there with all the other copper infused miracle products like socks, compression bands, bracelets, etc. I am quite sure her mask is destined to be the next “As Seen On TV” invention. It will be right at home with the “Popeil Pocket Fisherman”, “Shamwow” and my favorite…”The Chia Head”. This copper mesh mask is even sold on Amazon. Amazon used to be pretty reliable for proven products but nowadays they sell stuff from anyone and everyone without vetting them. They have as many counterfeit and cheap knock-off items as eBay but that is an issue I will reserve for another day. As for the “As Seen On TV” products, infomercial hucksters rely on lonely insomniacs with credit cards. There’s some sort of ambiance in every living room during those late night TV viewing hours that makes the allure of a food dehydrator or salad spinner irresistible. Snake oil salesmen have been around since the early 1800’s and although the marketing is now high tech, the products are just as effective as ever; emptying some poor sucker’s wallet! OK, gotta run; the UPS guy is at my door. Hopefully he has that Ginsu knife set I ordered :-) |
