No surprise to me, at all. Talked about these masks being ineffective last spring.

And of course, this say's nothing about eye protection.

Scientists or lab techs don't walk into a "bio" lab where they do do work on contagious pathogens wearing only a piece of cloth over their mouth and nose.

If this virus were as dangerous as they say it is, there would have been a mandate to wear an N99/N100 properly fitted mask along with proper eye protection beyond glasses/sunglasses.

I’m guessing Mr, Rucker, like the people he quotes, didn’t actually read the article. It reported no data or original analysis, and merely reported the work of others, almost none of which involved the effect of widespread mask-wearing on COVID infection and death rates,

I read it, and noticed the complete lack of originality in it. Here is the first two paragraph of the publisher’s description of the guide for authors written by the journal itself:

“The purpose of Medical Hypotheses is to publish interesting theoretical papers. The journal will consider radical, speculative and non-mainstream scientific ideas provided they are coherently expressed.”

A lot of people are already certain of everything, are simply looking for support for their point of view, and stop once they’ve found some.

Exactly what we’ve known, all along.

Big tech denying this being posted, even though it comes from one of their own outlets.....says it all.

I like the saying, “wearing a face mask to prevent Covid-19 is like using a chain link fence to keep mosquitos from flying onto your porch!” Ineffective and dehumanizing, but, it makes the folks/sheep “feel good and cooperative to humanity.”
What could be better?

When something like flubola arrives, demographics will certainly change.

Clicking that link

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7680614/

Shows it was retracted

But clicking this link shows it’s still there

From: “The Fauci- COVID-19 Dossier” - Dr. David E. Martin

“Through April 2020, the official recommendation by the Journal of the American Medical Association was
unambiguous.

“Face masks should not be worn by healthy individuals to protect themselves from acquiring respiratory infection
because there is no evidence to suggest that face masks worn by healthy individuals are effective in preventing people
from becoming ill.”30
Part of that lack of evidence in fact showed that cloth facemasks actually increased influenza-linked illness.31

In contravention to established science, States, municipalities, and businesses have violated the legal requirements for
the promulgation of medical counter measures during a public health emergency stating a “belief” that face masks limit
the spread of SARS CoV-2. To date, not a single study has confirmed that a mask prevented the transmission of, or the
infection by SARS CoV-2.

All parties mandating the use of facemasks are not only willfully ignoring established science but are engaging in what
amounts to a whole population clinical trial. This conclusion is reached by the fact that facemask use and COVID-19
incidence are being reported in scientific opinion pieces promoted by the United States Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and others.32

Social distancing of up to 6 feet has been promoted as a means of preventing person-to-person transmission of
influenza-like viruses. While one study hypothesized that infection could happen in a 6 foot range, the study explicitly
states that person-to-person transfer was not tested and viability of the virus at 6 feet was not even a subject of the
investigation.33 That did not stop the misrepresentation of the study to be used as the basis for an unverified medical
counter measure of social distancing. To date, no study has established the efficacy of social distancing to modify the
transmission of SARS CoV-2. Public health officials have referenced:

of any population prevented the transmission of, or the infection by SARS CoV-2.

It is unlawful under the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 41 et seq., to advertise that a product or service can prevent, treat, or cure
human disease unless you possess competent and reliable scientific evidence, including, when appropriate, wellcontrolled human clinical studies, substantiating that the claims are true at the time they are made. As a result, every
party promoting the use of face masks is violating the FTC Act.

All of these laws have been broken. All relevant authorities in the United States must cease and desist the use of face
masks until the matters above are rectified.”

The website says the paper has been retracted for several reasons.
