The mask zealots actually got it “right,” if by “right” they mean pushing a sea change in election integrity to allow for the biggest election theft in history.

They created an environment that killed a large segment of the elderly population by locking down nursing homes and then putting covid positive people in with them.
Then the media dutifully cried wolf.
And pseudo-scientists made up doom and gloom stories to back up the government plan to imprison the healthy.
It all sounds like a Vince Flynn novel.
Mask mandates reduce the risk of giant corporations being sued over COVID deaths - so they will be with us for a long time, whether they work or not. The airlines and their monopoly will be the hardest to crack. I can only suggest that - whenever possible - we give our business to companies that don’t require masks or social distancing.
When there is a major problem, the last thing the bureaucracy can do is admit it doesn’t have a solution. It proves the maxim “we have to do something even if it’s wrong!” And the government has mastered the art of getting it wrong. Enough propaganda can fix anything.
They wanted the numbers to rise closer to election time so they could blame Trump and cost him votes but still had to steal 10 million plus votes.
Then there are scientist-politicians (who have the credentials of a scientist and may well have been real working scientists worthy of note) who will tell any lie to advance their faction.
Not a new phenomenon. They were quite common in the last century.
Every time I try to click on one of the links in the article (on American Thinker) it goes to some blogger dashboard, which is annoying as hell. I don’t want to set up a blog ffs, I just want to read his citations.
Um... I don’t see any references to actual science. The only references are to blog posts; I tried to click on one of those links, and it led to a blog website with information on how they run their site. However, there are no references to the medical literature.
There are plenty of studies at this point that show the effectiveness of masks, both in laboratory settings and in real world use. Yes, the masks do work; if we had not taken to using them, the pandemic would have reached its peak back around June, with around 4 million dead in the US alone to show for it.
The opinion this non-scientist opinion writer expressed that we would have been better off letting the pandemic spread uncontrolled until herd immunity kicks in is just plain wrong. No infectious disease, ever, has disappeared because herd immunity naturally kicks in. That is because there are always people who have never been exposed, who ensure that the disease can keep circulating. Herd immunity does not protect individuals; it is a phenomenon where enough people are immune that an infected person is more likely to encounter immune people than he is to spread the disease to another non-immune person. The only way we have ever reached herd immunity is through the use of vaccines. He even contradicted himself by trying to show with the graphs that masks did nothing, then claiming that we should have sat back and waited for the virus to spread. If the masks really don’t work, then why the suggestion to let the virus spread uncontrollably?
What the graphs show is that when we started widespread mask use and social distancing, the spread of the virus slowed. When the BLM riots started, the spread increased rapidly. During the holidays, when people typically gather to celebrate together, the spread increased, presumably because people feel more comfortable to remove their masks when they are with people they know and trust. Now that the holidays are over, the spread has slowed. I was concerned that lifting the mask mandates would lead to increased cases; however, business in Texas still require masking and social distancing, and the majority of people still wear masks.
The bottom line is that the pandemic virus takes advantage of human behaviors to spread, and we interfere with that spread by altering our behaviors.
The Lancet study that says masks help.
Any time some ignoramus begins a thread, speech, or other title with “Wake Up” I know I can safely ignore any BS following that phrase.
These blue masks are like a chain link fence trying to stop humming birds.
It’s not mask zealotry alone but mask ideology. I’ve written about the largest mask study in Denmark with thousands of people in the test and more recently the CDC study shows the same outcome.
The mask outdoors shows the same margin of error differential, nothing more.
It never deserved to be made into any mandate.
Grazing in the “grass” is becoming fashionable .....
But....the election wouldn't have so easily been stolen, without their absurd mandates/lockdowns, you know.
The idea of masks from Dr. Redfield, who was silenced by the White House task force does have science to back it up. Redfield said masks can act like poor man’s vaccine.
MASKS ARE NOT MEANT TO STOP SPREAD OF VIRUS!!!
According to Redfield they ONLY can reduce viral load in and out. People still contact virus, but the disease tends to be less severe, less lethal and also builds herd immunity.
Had we done that early on, we would not be in position we are. And we would not have radical anti maskers crowing abou fact masks do not do what they were never intended to do.
“ Note that the cases per 100K in school systems where masks are optional are significantly lower than those systems where masks are mandated.”
Reference?
Vote them out.
