The reason lockdowns didn’t work in the United States or the United Kingdom is because they weren’t strict enough, according to many in the expert community.
Of course, their excuses have been conveniently ignored as China’s repressive zero COVID lockdowns have continued, with horrific consequences.
Now that mass protests have broken out in the country that “The Experts™” revered for their COVID handling, there’s a massive effort to disregard their own previous advocacy.
This is perhaps best exemplified by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who clearly used authoritarian measures to suppress the protests in his own country, while now supporting Chinese demonstrations.
The bewildering lack of awareness of their own hypocrisy seems to be a feature of COVID-obsessed politicians and public health authorities.
Another similar, oft-repeated assertion is that the failure of universal masking can be explained by the type of masks being used by the public.
Even though the CDC and Dr. Fauci explicitly claimed that wearing anything to cover your face would be effective at preventing transmission, many have now quietly dismissed that messaging.
Fauci specifically said that “cloth coverings work,” not just surgical or N95s. Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams famously suggested that rolling up a t-shirt in front of your face would be effective protection.
Yet public health departments and the media are now highlighting the importance of “high quality,” “well-fitted” masks.
Their desperation to justify masking has led to remarkably poor studies being released to support their anti-science messaging.
There is new research that has been released showing that masks are ineffective, regardless of type.
And it’s not just new research, it’s high quality research.
Finally, Another RCT on Mask Wearing
The Annals of Internal Medicine just published a randomized controlled trial comparing the ability of medical masks to prevent COVID infection to fit-tested N95s.
Importantly, this trial was conducted on healthcare workers who would be most likely to use masks appropriately.
To determine whether medical masks are noninferior to N95 respirators to prevent COVID-19 in health care workers providing routine care.
That trial design was also important as it was meant to determine whether or not N95 respirators were superior to “regular” surgical masks.
They examined 29 different health care facilities on multiple continents, from North America to Asia and Africa.
The percentage of healthcare workers testing positive for COVID in each group was tracked to determine how effective or ineffective higher-quality masking was in preventing...

You've been well and truly had.
ReplyDeleteThat "study" is utter horseshit. They didn't test N95 masks.
They tested people who sometimes have access to N95 masks. Which is like testing parachutes by looking at the death rate of people in the 82nd Airborne Division, because they sometimes have access to them.
Somebody in the 82nd dies in a car crash?
Parachutes don't work.
Guy falls off a cliff?
It's those damned worthless parachutes again.
That's the level of mental retardation behind this horsesh*t "study", and they tell you that right up front.
This is "science" by fucktards. Just because some dipshits got it published in a journal doesn't mean fuck-all about actual validity.
Maybe not falling for everything someone does as if it were an actual valid research project, rather than an excuse to score grant funding for dipshits.
Just saying.
Where does it address access?
DeleteThe protocol clearly states masks were mandatory at the facilities.
Hahahaha you funny
DeleteThe "Experts" can run as many mask trials as they like; it's all nonsense. The COVID virus measures 0.4 microns at its widest diameter; the most reasonable pore diameter in a mouth and nose covering for the average person walking at a reasonable rate/speed should be 50 to 100 microns if breathing is to proceed unimpeded (gaseous exchange in the lungs). This still allows the passage of the COVID virus, if present in ambient, to enter the individual's mouth and/or nasal passages.
ReplyDeleteErgo: a mask is a worthless device to prevent infection by the COVID virus. This has been known since the precise measurement of the virus.
Ergo: a mask is simply a control device.
QED.
If the masks worked then a million or so people in the U.S. would still be alive. I think what happens in this discussion is NOT do the masks work but does mandatory masking work. I could imagine that a good and effective mask properly fitted and worn all the time might reduce your risk It may only reduce it 10% or 20% but I could see mechanically how that could work BUT a mandatory mask rule with phony cloth and paper masks which are only worn when told to put them on or maybe a few minutes a day when you run into a 7-11 obviously isn't going to protect you. Those phony masks "may" be 7% effective but wearing them 2% of your waking hours is only 2% effective time 7% which is next to nothing.
ReplyDeleteMasks are most/only effective when worn by a surgeon to prevent them infecting an open wound OR by sick people with coughs to protect others from their sputum. And even then they are far from perfect.
The bottom line is IF masks worked THEN I could wear one all the time and never get sick. That is ridiculous and everyone knows it is ridiculous.
