Dear Ransomnote, I agree with Steve Kirsch on this, the CDC study is garbage.

A comment posted to Kirsch’s article:

“Debbie1 hr ago
I read the article on the CDC website about masks not working to prevent the spread of viruses. I couldn’t help but note the 3rd paragraph under the “Face Mask” section where it states “However, respirators, such as N95 and P2 masks work best when they are fit tested, AND THESE WILL BE IN SHORT SUPPLY DURING THE NEXT PANDEMIC. (emphasis added) Amazing how they seem to be sure there will be a NEXT pandemic and what supplies will be like at that time.”

His premise is incorrect; it is not one paper. It is multiple papers from various states and various hospitals.

And the results are consistent.

As they say, one is entitled to their own opinion but not facts. Many of these documents have been shared at FR.

I like Kirsch, but this commentary is revealing…

What about the other 41 states?

In a nutshell: CDC compared people who had been hospitalized for covid, but not immunized with people who had been immunized but not ill. The problem is that they chose a suspect cohort for comparing to immunization: that tiny fraction of the sick who were hospitalized (and of course, survived). The study chose only people whose immune systems had been incapable of surviving the first infection on their own, with those who were otherwise likely to be healthy.

It makes you wonder if there is a book available at the CDC employee bookstore, only for CDC employees, entitled “50 ways to skew a study to achieve the results management wants.”

It is titled: How to lie with Statistics. It is commonly available.

Of course, at the CDC, they may give advanced classes.

“CDC”? ... Isn’t that the organization that’s run by that woman (or whatever gender she picked) that’s always crying?
