The face mask debate is unfortunately again rearing its ugly head in many parts of the country, and it’s becoming ever more clear that it will never entirely go away. Even as OMICRON confers some form of natural immunity to large segments of the population before it begins its fade into the sunset, the next sniffle-causing variant will inevitably come along and again compel paranoid hypochondriac leftists to cover their faces and hysterically demand you do so as well. Sadly, manufactured fear over Covid has truly broken so many people who will never, ever be the same.
Our side, the side of truth, data, and reality, can point to pre-Covid studies that showed masks to be non-effective against virus spread ‘till the cows come home. Theirs can point to non-randomized controlled ‘studies’ (you know, because having a control group in a ‘pandemic’ would be ‘unethical’) that use mannequins, models, or super-cherry-picked snippets of data from areas and time periods that they think bolster their narrative. But it seems that neither can land the deciding blow, both because of the lack of correctly administered randomized controlled studies in the Covid era and also because of the purportedly ‘common sense’ perception that that piece of cloth over everyone’s face is a ‘zero-cost’ intervention (it isn’t) that is totally worth it even if it helps a little (it doesn’t).
Sadly, the difficult-to-counter ‘iT WoULd hAvE BeEn WoooOrSe’ response has become the reliable Branch Covidian go-to when attempting to defend their useless interventions. But would it have been, really?
Enter Ian Miller, an entertainment industry content manager who, like many of us, quickly began questioning the establishment Covid narrative when it didn’t seem to line up with the actual facts on the ground. But instead of surrendering to defeat, Miller promptly put his day job experience dabbling in data analysis to work creating and distributing eye-popping charts that soon made him a Team Reality celebrity and a Branch Covidien foil.
You’ve probably seen them on Twitter being shared by prominent conservative politicians, media figures, and Team Reality proponents, or in posts on large news sites like Fox News, City Journal, and TheBlaze. Indeed, Ian’s charts – which list each specific coronavirus restriction implemented in a specific geographical area on a dateline which also devastatingly includes the rate of virus spread during that time period – have become THE go-to way to show the absurdity and unworkability of our overlords’ failed Covid policies. If a picture is worth a thousand words, these charts – each one of them – are worth at least a million.
Of course, as we unfortunately know, censorship of ideas they don’t like is alive and well. All Twitter has to do to erase evidence like this from the annals of Twitter history is to delete Ian Miller’s account, an action that could happen to any of us at any time. Such is the risk of daring to go against the established Faucian Covid narrative.
Thankfully, Ian has minimized the damage of that possibility by giving all of us an amazing gift in his new 217-page book, titled, “Unmasked: The Global Failure of Covid Mask Mandates.” In it, the author combines his famous charts with unflappable analysis that devastatingly rips the veil off the misleading pseudo-science surrounding masking we’ve been force fed for two years to reveal the forbidden truth – that masking and mask mandates have done absolutely nothing to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 worldwide.
“I’ve looked at data from all over the world, from the granular county level to entire countries, and have yet to find examples showing clear and sustained benefits to mask mandates,” Miller writes. “There has simply been no discernable pattern or correlation with mask mandates and better outcomes.”
From analyzing pre-Covid mask studies showing unequivocally that mask usage does not stop contagious respiratory viruses from spreading, to ripping apart “the experts’ new science” (including mask-use ‘studies’ from Arizona and Kansas with “significant flaws”), to highlighting real world data from places like Florida, California, Sweden, and countless others – with the charts to back it up – Miller devastatingly indicts, tries, and convicts the mask cult of misleading a gullible, frightened public into not just using a useless non-pharmaceutical intervention, but forcing it on others, including defenseless children, for years.
Think about it. If face masks ‘worked’ to stop or even slightly curb the spread of Covid-19, they should be able to point to place after place showing when the intervention was employed and how case numbers were affected. In other words, they should be able to do what Ian Miller has done in reverse. They can’t, obviously, because masks, and especially mask mandates, don’t work. At all. Not even a little bit.
Those of you who have followed my columns over the past two years know my position well. There are few things more diabolically evil than forcibly covering the face of another human being, especially a child. If there is any justice in the world, years from now society will look back with utter horror on what we did with lockdowns, masks, vaccine coercion, and all the rest, including and especially instilling the kind of fear and paranoia that never matched the actual death rate from this virus. When it does, Ian Miller’s book – and his charts – will be seen as key deciding blows that helped obliterate the mask cult for good.

” . . . the lack of correctly administered randomized controlled studies in the Covid era . . .”
Because the “Covid era” is imbued with magical properties.
It is a totally magical flu. Can be stopped by masks, can’t be stopped by masks, Can be stopped by a vax, can’t be stopped by a vax. It only comes out at certain times of the day. If you stand six feet from someone it can’t infect you and if you are in a crowd of thousands it can’t infect you. It will kill you if you go to the hospital but not if you stay home and hide. Truly magical.
The neo-feudal overlords’ narrative is imploding, daily more and more evidence seeps into the public domain revealing masks, lockdowns, injections, ventilators etc. are totally ineffective and worse they violate the Hippocratic Oath, “First do no harm.” Even Johns Hopkins (Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health and the Study of Business Enterprise) the mainstay of the ruling elite for all things COVID, pandemic and public health recently released a report that called lockdowns “ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.” https://wusfnews.wusf.usf.edu/health-news-florida/2022-02-02/a-johns-hopkins-study-says-ill-founded-lockdowns-did-little-to-limit-covid-deaths. The corporate media is slow to pass the word along just like they are slow to pass the results of numerous tests that say masks are useless. https://www.infectioncontroltoday.com/view/cloth-masks-are-useless-against-covid-19-redux-omicron-version
They are doubling down as we speak pressing for an Omicron injection for those zonked out and comatose to fall for the Big Pharma and Fauci flim-flam.
Whaddaya mean, “even John Hopkins”?
That’s just TPTB playing both sides of the coin, at the same time.
I know I’m further out on the edge than some, but I believe we’re in the midst of a planned depopulation event. I live in Ca. and they were handing out these free, FedGov masks at the CVS where I pick up my scripts. If my beliefs are right (and they may not be) it stands to reason FedGov would tamper with these masks in some form or another.
They don’t have to tamper with them. They are extraordinarily cheaply made masks and several sites have shown that at best they are worthless, but most are harmful. That is, they have fibers or materials that can be ingested by the wearer, etc. How harmful? We don’t know and it depends on what fibers or materials are in them.
Just because we are dumping the masks doesn’t mean those responsible for mandating them are absolved of their crimes against humanity. There are millions of charges to be filed, millions who must stand trial, and ideally, millions who will face justice for their crimes. They want to pretend its all over and it was all justified. It was not. It was all a crime against humanity and it must be punished.
Blo me!
Does anyone live where there are still mask mandates? Vaxxx mandates?
Here there are localized pockets and chain store employees, medical, otherwise we haven’t been wearing masks for a year.
I’ve been thinking the looseness of many areas is why there haven’t been more protests, etc. here you can forget what’s really going on if you like.
Here in GA most businesses have “masks recommended” signs. Sadly, the numbers wearing have actually gone up since Omicron. I am even seeing more folks wearing gloves, a mask, and a face shield. Truly disturbing. But nobody hassles me about not wearing one at least.
I am thinking the very looseness of this ‘enforcement’in the US is what hinders real push back. You know more creep into tyranny.
Of course. It is based on the towns here in MA. Some towns never dropped the mask mandates since August 2021 to this day. Most had mandates from August to October, then dropped them from October to December, then reinstated them in December or January until now. Indoors only.
It is the rare town that has not had any mandates since mid-2021. That is where I take my business.
