“Expert” Narratives Are Collapsing

Guest Post by Ian Miller

General mask mandates for most of the country have all but ended.

Outside of a few fanatical true believers like Los Angeles County and entertainment industry events like Comic-Con, almost no one is still mandating masks to go about daily life.

What they are doing however, is forcing masks back onto children in schools.

Perhaps the most indefensible “intervention” during the pandemic, school masking has confusingly become the most prominent reoccurring mandate across the country.

While it has seemed like this inexcusable policy would mostly be limited to far left areas, the most recent announcement comes from a much more surprising city; Louisville, Kentucky.

Starting Monday, July 25th, Louisville schools are now requiring masking at all facility locations and on buses:

Louisville joins San Diego schools, who also announced a mandate of their own recently.

Incredibly, that mandate was defended by a local official who claimed that students who can’t or don’t want to wear masks should just not come to school:

This is despite the overwhelming amount of data and evidence that’s accumulated over the past several years that school masking is completely ineffective. Not to mention the tremendous learning loss from virtual schooling and missed in person education that Whitehurst-Payne ignores.

Just recently, a study on school masking was released comparing two school districts in North Dakota during the fall and winter of 2021-2022.

The Fargo district had a mask mandate in effect starting when school returned in August, while their neighboring schools in the West Fargo district did not.

The results were nearly identical, with Fargo (in black) having a higher peak than their maskless neighbors:

fargo-west-fargo

The study authors even attempted to get compliance rates, which based on their conversations, showed that roughly 5% or less of students in the non-mandate schools were masking, compared to 95+% in the mandate district.

Many more studies and comparisons show the same results.

After the school mask mandates were lifted in Virginia, cases fell dramatically, and comparisons of states with and without school mask mandates showed case rates were higher overall in the forced masking locations:

forced-vs-optional

There is simply no justification for continuing to mandate masks in schools.

While it’s unsurprising that cities in California or New York or Illinois will inevitably bring back mandates to assuage their own fears, it’s disturbing that a city in a red state like Kentucky would also return to forced masking.

Parents in these areas might have assumed that their children would be spared from this ineffective, destructive policy. But Louisville shows once again that the commitment to anti-science appeals to authority is possible anywhere.

Once again, Ron DeSantis has shown that he is head and shoulders above most politicians, correctly realizing that banning school masking is the only way to ensure that kids aren’t forced to placate delusional adults.

Mandates Aren’t Working

Even now, well after mask mandates have been completely disproven as a potential “intervention” against the spread of COVID, many parts of the world remain committed to this ineffective policy.

A new report from the Daily Mail highlights how comparisons of Australia to New Zealand and Singapore indicate, yet again, that mandates and mask wearing does not reduce COVID cases.

New Zealand continues to have a strict mask mandate that covers nearly all indoor settings, yet cases there continue to rise and are now among the highest in the world, after adjusting for population:

nz-new-cases

Similarly, Singapore has experienced a rapid increase in COVID cases and other metrics, despite maintaining a mask mandate with exceptionally high compliance and vaccination rates.

Even more embarrassingly, Singapore was specifically singled out as a supposed success story by Jerome Adams, the former U.S. Surgeon General.

Adams claimed on Twitter earlier in 2022 that the city “controlled surges” with “masking and mitigation:”

singapore-new-cases

Meanwhile, Australia currently has nearly identical case rates, despite lifting many mask mandates and seeing significantly lower compliance percentages:

nz-aus-singapore

This is the exact opposite of what was predicted by many supposed “experts” and major media outlets.

No matter how often they’re proven wrong, they continually return to the inaccurate assumption that lifting mask mandates will lead to inevitable disaster.

Conversely, Ashish Jha, the Biden administration’s chief COVID coordinator, claimed in a recent interview in support of LA’s upcoming mask mandate, that wearing masks “really will make a difference:”

“CDC has very clear guidance on this as well through their COVID community levels. And the CDC recommendation is that when you’re in a high zone, that sort of orange zone, you know, people wearing masks indoors is really important, and it really will make a difference.”

Jha never has to face a follow up question asking him why mask wearing indoors is currently not working in other countries, if it’s “really important” and “will make a difference.”

There’s simply uncritical acceptance that what he says is fact, because he is the one saying it. Data, science and evidence are unnecessary when it comes to authorities repeating inaccurate talking points.

Even an Australian infectious disease professor succinctly explained how important imposing a new mask mandates is to slowing the spread: “It doesn’t matter.”

Hospitals Are Finally Admitting That Virtually No One is There For COVID

Los Angeles continues to do its best to take the crown of most anti-science city in America.

Recently the head of LA Public Health announced that the city would return to mask mandates if the region remains in the CDC’s arbitrary “high transmission” zone for two weeks.

Of course, in their announcement, no one pointed out that Los Angeles has made a substantial contribution to the evidence base proving that mask mandates do not work.

Los Angles officials continue to pretend that they can control the spread of the virus through indefinite restrictions.

But what’s worse is that despite the rising case and hospitalization rates used to justify endless mandates, a major LA medical system recently posted a video detailing how little COVID currently impacts their hospitals.

During their remarks, it emerged that “Only 10% of COVID positive admissions are admitted due to COVID.”

Meaning that if there are 100 hospitalized COVID “patients,” only 10 are there to be treated for it and 90 are there for other medical issues and just so happen to test positive.

Even more extraordinary is that they admitted that “virtually none of them go to the ICU,” and “they are not intubated…we have not seen one of those since February:”

As noted by Phil Kerpen, the video does not appear on any of the LA+USC Medical Center feeds, perhaps in an attempt to avoid creating doubt about the necessity of the upcoming mask mandate.

Beyond the implications, that COVID is no longer causing a significant threat to hospitals in the nation’s second largest city, this story provides yet another example of hypocrisy from Gavin Newsom.

Newsom recently released and promoted a political ad claiming that he’s creating a climate of “freedom” in California as opposed to Ron DeSantis in Florida.

Except when asked whether or not he supported Los Angeles potentially imposing a mask mandate two and a half years into the pandemic, Newsom deflected and refused to answer directly.

Somehow in Newsom’s mind, “freedom” doesn’t mean the ability to walk around without a mask, well after their efficacy has been disproven.

It’s not surprising that LA is likely returning to mask mandates despite the lack of severe impacts on hospitals from COVID. When the director of public health, who is not a doctor, makes nearly $500,000 per year to impose destructive, anti-science policies, it’s clear that no amount of data matters to city officials.

Young Kids Aren’t Getting Vaccinated

It’s now been a month and a half since the FDA inexcusably authorized the mRNA vaccines for children aged 6 months to 5 years old.

The decision, based on efficacy estimates that would have failed the standard set by the FDA to authorize the vaccines for adults, was greeted with acclaim by COVID fanatics and dismay by evidence based experts.

In fact, many top employees at the regulatory body and other public health agencies have quit in protest, believing that the authorization was politically motivated.

The rush to push the mRNA shots on young children was bewildering for several reasons.

COVID vaccines were initially authorized on an emergency use basis; except with the risks of severe illness so remarkably low amongst young kids, there is no real emergency for this age group.

Not to mention the lack of long term safety data, especially considering the now established risks of myocarditis. There’s also the fact that the vaccines were based on the original variant, which essentially no longer exists.

Discussions have already begun about updating the vaccines for the Omicron variant and mutations will continue indefinitely. Why rush to authorize the shots when they’re already out of date?

It seems that most parents across the country agree with these flaws.

According to recent data, only 2% of children under 5 across the country have been vaccinated for COVID.

That is an utter disaster for the Biden administration and the public health agencies they control.

They pushed the FDA to rush these vaccines out, and they’ve been overwhelmingly rejected.

While the report provides several excuses such as parents being used to getting their young kids vaccinated during visits to the pediatrician, this is the most widely publicized virus on earth. If parents really believed these shots were necessary or “safe and effective” for children, they would be making appointments at government run vaccination sites.

Instead, despite the Biden administration’s best efforts, most have correctly realized that there is no demonstrable benefit for this age group and not an insignificant amount of risk.

Each time the “experts” and their political bosses roll out another supposed “intervention” with the implication that this will finally be the one to prevent the spread of COVID, they get less uptake.

Booster shots have not been as widely adopted as the original series. The second boosters will be even less popular.

Now parents have shown little to no interest in early childhood vaccinations.

This is the only way to ensure COVID does not become a permanent feature of discussion; showing those in charge that no one is listening to them anymore.


For years, the media, “experts” and politicians have created narratives that mask mandates don’t work in the US because of lack of compliance. They’ve defended the need for school masking and that parents were desperate to get their kids vaccinated. Or they’ve claimed that COVID was the cause for the overwhelming majority of hospitalizations.

All of these continue to be disproven.

Hospitals are finally acknowledging that COVID is not the cause for many of the COVID designated hospitalizations. School masking has been disproven by continued high quality research. International locations with high compliance are not controlling the virus with mandates.

Unfortunately we’ve seen a lot of this before.

It’s been clear for years that they were hopelessly incorrect, and yet they’ve continued to push for indefinite mandates and refused to admit mistakes.

Narrative collapse is but a small hindrance, easily dismissed as criticism from unqualified detractors.

But with the fall and winter rapidly approaching, it’s important to continue to dismantle their arguments and head off upcoming potential policy “interventions” before they start.

They will keep pushing the masks on the young to create a dependence on them. Kids who have spent years with them will be psychologically damaged and conditioned to the point that they will demand to be allowed to wear their mask for the rest of their lives. They will fight to keep them.

This has been happening forever. When I grew up seat belts were mostly only in new cars. One of my ancient rides has no seat belts. The neighbors kid wanted a ride but Mom, seeing there were no seat belts forbid him from it as it would be “unsafe”. The kid all of a sudden did not want to go for a ride because it would be dangerous. Mom (government) had decided. The “safety” word was used and instantly there was compliance. Same for masks.

No matter that I had never crashed, we were going to be on a unused side road, I would obviously be careful and not drive like it was only my life to risk……. To them, no seat belt = certain death. Same with the masking.

Humans are easily programmed and facts and reality will not undo that programming.

It’s a small step from masking to adoption of traditional Islamic wear for females; hijabs, niqabs and ultimately burqas because, you know, belief.

I forgot to mention, this Mom drives the kid to the school bus stop every day, where he gets out of the seat belt and multi airbag SUV, and walks onto a no seat belts, no airbags schoolbus, driven by a stranger. But she makes sure he wears a mask.

There is no hope for these people.

These people cannot be rehabbed. In the event the remaining sane and partly sane were to revolt and win, they would either have to be killed or sold to the slave vendors in Mauritania to be used in the diamond mines after being sterilized.
They cannot be left here to reinfect our progeny at the first opportunity. A good jewish lawyer could argue your case as self defence because they are murderers. They murder by destroying morality in the children who grow up to be like them.

From interviews conducted at an Australian pro-choice rally in July:

Interviewer: Do you think we should have the right over our body?
Women: Absolutely. Definitely.
Interviewer: So you don’t think the government should tell you what to do with your body?
Women: No! They have no right.
Interviewer: So what do you think about vaccine mandates?
Woman 1: I’m with them.
Woman 2: Me too. Yeah.

You’re right. In reality, if the dictatorship of hygiene also takes care of children (children who, let’s remember, almost never die of influenza) by sticking the “rag of shame” on their face and by forcing them more and more to be vaccinated, it’s because it’s well aware that the more human beings are “trained” early in life, the less likely they will be able to rebel later. Why is this? Because the very principle of rebellion is based on the comparison with a better “before”. It is obvious that the generations that, from their earliest childhood, have known nothing but “masks, social distancing and compulsory vaccinations”, will not have the capacity to identify any anomaly, any obstacle to their freedom and dignity.

So, you will say to me: “yes, but the human being has a spiritual dimension, and he will always be able to hear the “little voice” of his conscience which will whisper to him that something is not right”. Certainly, but given the galloping dechristianization that we know (dechristianization which is one of the essential goals of the corona-delirium), and beyond even this dechristianization, the destruction of the religious fact (which allowed in the whole world the advent of the laws of abomination of the last decades), this small voice risks to become, at least for the great number, inaudible. We can see that the populations of the earth, even if they are not yet completely atheistic, are already incapable of resisting evil and of making any discernment. Basically, everyone adapts to everything, including and especially to the vile. Who complains about the nauseating programs of this “box of demons and putrefaction” which is Netflix and which rages everywhere on earth by polluting the minds night and day?

It is clear that if a weakening of the “religious link” is already enough to make the general public accept the worst normative infamy resulting from atheist political correctness, then what will happen when atheism will have really triumphed almost everywhere?

This is why it’s essential to understand that we are basically the generations of the last hope. Yes, the generations of the last chance. If we, who have known a “before”, do not find the strength to fight against this filthy sanitary dictatorship, then who, where and when? Because let’s not delude ourselves, the little angels of seven or eight years old, that the dictatorship already crushes by imposing their panoply of degradation (which does not incite them, as in the past, to dress up as Zorro “for fun”, but rather as slaves, and this time “for real”), will not be able, as future adults who have lost (in spite of themselves) the “memory” of the true and the beautiful, to succeed where we (we who knew) have failed. The fight is now or never, because whether we like it or not, we are the generations of the last chance…

We are the example of what you say too. We (often) lack the knowledge of the”before” that our parents and grandparents knew. Even the stories I was told, are not real to me as I never lived them. I understand but have not experienced.

This is why it’s essential to understand that we are basically the generations of the last hope.

Sorry but that was a few generations back. There is no hope. The digital prison has ended that.

Back when I was riding around with Dad and his Molson six-pack and flask, in the steel dashed Chrysler with no belts, he was telling me how things were heading downhill fast due to over regulation, too much government, the “softening” of the people, political corruption, destruction of freedom………

Everything he said would get worse, has exceeded his most most dire predictions. There is no fixing this. The current system will only be stopped when it is destroyed entirely, and the chances of us living through that are near zero. TPTB will burn the world before they will let it go.

The utter uselessness of wearing the diaper was found out 100+ years ago during the Spanish flu … which wasn’t from Spain and wasn’t a flu — it was bacterial pneumonia (as the CDC grudgingly admitted more than 50% of the ‘cases’ of the FauciFlu also are) …

But the really egregious part of this is that the entire medical community — basically the hospital chains and the BigMoney that owns them — forces the diapers in any and all ‘medical’ facilities … and in SW Washington State they even require the ‘surgical’ masks … the ones reputed to contain noxious chemicals and microfibers that are also reputedly showing up in the lungs of children and others forced to wear those diapers for extended periods.

Wore a mask today. With hearing protection and a face shield. Chips were flying and dust gags me.
Living in the wilderness affords me some perspectives. If you socialize, chances are you catch some cold. If you wear a mask while that cold is incubating, you’re just going to concentrate all the nasty bits. I rip that dust mask off as soon as I clear the woodshed, and set it in the sun. I don’t worry too much about expert plans. Most of it’s folly. Not one could tell you how a hundred starlings turn on a dime. Or how intuition works, or divine inspiration.

Stucky

I believe the simplest proof that masks don’t work is the Fart Test. Seriously. Put on your mask and have a nice fart. Can you smell your fart? You sure as hell can!!! Why? Well …..

Farts contain odorless gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane ….. aaaand a rather small portion of hydrogen sulfide (which is the source of the rotten egg smell).

So, all we have to do now is answer 3 simple questions;

—-1) How big is a hydrogen sulfide molecule? Answer; “it is an almost spherical molecule approximately 0.47 nm long and large, and 0.36 nm thick.” (See Link #1)

—- 2) How big are the holes in an N95 mask? answer; “300 nanometers wide” (See Link #2)

In other words, the holes in a Face Diaper are SIX TIMES larger than a fart. That’s why Face Diapers can’t block a fart!!

Now, the all important 3rd question;

—- 3) How big is a Covid molecule? According to the chart below, about 0.05 to 0.1 nanometers …..or 47 times smaller than a fart!!!

SO, IF A FACE DIAPER CAN’T STOP A FART … IT SURE AS FUCK AIN’T STOPPING COVID!!!

In addition to what you said, masks are basically filters, and the purpose of filters is to collect particles. After wearing a mask for some period, the mask collects mass quantities of particles, virus, toxins, and bacteria. The moisture droplets which contain the virus and bacteria and allowed the particles to be deposited on the mask in the first place, dry out, releasing the pathogens which become inhaled through the porous material. The longer the mask is worn, the higher the concentration of pathogens that are released. By the end of a school day, your child’s mask has collected pathogens from every class and person he has been in proximity to, and is acting as a reservoir to supply a concentrated dose of pathogens every time they inhale.

The problem is not masks, it is that we have government schools in the first place. Government schools must be abolished, and replaced with private schools. The governments ability to brainwash generation after generation must be stopped. You have to know who your enemies are, and your government is always your most formidable enemy.. Allowing them to corrupt the minds of our children is the cornerstone of slavery they impose upon us.
