Not peer reviewed and reads extremely politically charged. I'd hardly call this science.

  Agreed. Also, if respirators don't work, how come there isn't a mass infection among doctors treating COVID-19 patients worldwide?

This doesn't even look like a "pre-print", it's worse than that. Also the text is written more like an angry internet comment than a proper academic text. In his "review of the medical literature" none of the articles talks specifically about the Coronavirus, instead talks about the Influenza virus. They have very different sizes.
