Do these people really need to be working there? They’re idiots. Masks don’t work but keep wearing and maybe wear 2. WTF.

There has to be folks out there that can replace them. But then again, it’s a government agency. A massive one. Folks that live in and around Atlanta may have had the opportunity to drive by the place at some point. Place is YUGE!!!!!!!

Lots of government, civil service types.

Then again, the place kind of gives me the creeps and I hope that whatever is in the basement, never gets out.

.... but they increase dermatologic disease,
pneumonia, and possible adenocarcinoma.

AND ChInA is making money hands over feet selling
the masks (it is the new ‘opium’-payback as well
as biowarfare).

... so the masks will continue.

Masks will continue to sell as long as people are buying them. As more people get vaccinated, mask hysteria compliance will decrease. Pretty soon only medical professionals and dedicated Karens will wear the masks, and eventually most state will drop the mandate.

Very suspicious of the “studies” that demonstrated the value of wearing masks. Modern science unfortunately has been corrupted by grant seeking phonies who publish narrative compliant articles in jounals controlled by not very critical editors and publishers that adhere to the narrative. The Left reveres Lysenko.

I went to the CDC to read the actual report. And this headline is the opposite of what the report says. The CDC does state that masks work—but the statistical evidence shown is very weak. The margins of error show that the positive effect is quite minimal.

I have one mask in the car. I put it on when I must enter a place that requires one and take it off as soon as I am outside.

I once worked in a hospital and every so often had to enter a room that was in ISOLATION. The paper shoe covering, paper gown, paper hat and mask. When I left the room all of that went into a red hazardous material can (to be burned).

If this virus is so deadly, where are all the red hazardous material cans to put the used mask in? They don’t exist. Matter of fact I am seeing a lot of mask just tossed on the ground.

Thus proving conclusively that wearing masks is not about controlling Covid. It is about controlling people.

Now SlowJoe is wearing two masks — a black one, with a white one underneath. What a dork.

Follow the money. What country benefits from selling more masks and crippling the manufacturing of their biggest competitor?
I bet it didn’t take you long to figure out who is pulling the CDC strings.

Jim Hoft doesn't understand p values and statistical significance. P values less than 0.05 are statistically significant.

Here is the report: Association of State-Issued Mask Mandates and Allowing On-Premises Restaurant Dining with County-Level COVID-19 Case and Death Growth Rates — United States, March 1–December 31, 2020

Properly wearing masks in short specific circumstances helps prevent the spread of disease.

Among other things:
Most people don’t wear their masks properly, nor take them off properly. Mask mandates push people to wear them for too long and towards compromise of what little gain comes from the mask. Even wearing a mask, there are many ways to negate the benefits.

The CDC is not staffed with clinicians. They are run entirely by polidiots.

Wear your slave mask, slaves! Don’t you know that soldiers will sometimes hesitate to shoot a woman begging for mercy unless she’s just a faceless thing?

With its over 200 network requests after waiting the Pundit page to load you would think it would actually provide something more substantial than a link to Twitter, findings you can actually copy and link that actually goes to the study itself. And you could have at least provided the image (you are normally allowed at least 300 words) but thanks for at least the assertion.

Best method is to follow people around, with and without masks, and find out how many get it and spread it. Nothing else could be better. This study didn’t do it.

But the DANMASK-19 study did, 6,000 people. Results? No statistical benefit from wearing masks. Game over.

One would need to be able to examine the methodology to be sure, but if the reported p-values are accurate, they indicate a statistically significant finding. Note however that statistical significance is not the same as practical significance. With a high enough sample size, even trivial differences can reach statistical significance, which appears to be the case here.There also is a potential problem with the design which appears to report multiple t-tests on the same samples. This can result in alpha slippage, undermining the significance of the results.

This and similar mask studies come as welcome news to “those who have ditched their rabbit foot in favor of a face covering as their preferred amulet for overall protection.”
