Both the US and UK have seen the (attempted) re-introduction of facemask mandates amid “surging Covid cases” in the New Year.
On January 9th, ABC news headlined:
More US schools institute mask mandates as COVID cases rise
Reporting that public schools in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Michigan were re-introducing mask mandates. That follows late-December mandates imposed in Oakland and Iowa, among others.
It’s not much different in the UK, where there have been no mandates issued, but “experts” are “urging” people to wear masks to “limit the spread of flu, Covid and Scarlet Fever”, according to the Daily Mail. The OKHSA issued “guidance”, as they are wont to do.
Meanwhile, the Guardian is back to publishing manipulative op-eds attempting to “end the culture war” on masks, and turning the whole issue into nothing but a virtue signal.
All of this is, of course, pure propaganda that ignores actual science in favour “The ScienceTM“.
Masks don’t work, that was our 6th Covid Fact-check, back in June of 2020.
For over two years we’ve been publishing piles of evidence that face masks not only do nothing to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses but are actually harmful in myriad ways.
We really don’t want to have to go over all the old research papers again…
…and we don’t have to, because there’s a new one.
On January 30th the Cochrane Library published an updated literature review on facemasks from Dr Tom Jefferson et al.
On cloth masks, a review of a dozen studies found:
Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness (ILI)/COVID‐19 like illness compared to not wearing masks […] Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza/SARS‐CoV‐2 compared to not wearing masks…
There you go. Maybe wear that quote on a lanyard instead of a mask this year.

It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis.

I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive.

Masks still have one useful function for identifying….
All you need to know about masks preventive power over aerosols is a simple experiment.
Have a smoker you know take a drag of his cigarette, put on his little blue mask- fitting it as well as he can, and then blow the smoke out. It comes out around the nose, chin, sides by the straps and even THROUGH the mask.
Easy scientific experiment, repeatable with consistent results. If smoke/vapor particles escape masks then micron sized virus particles most certainly pass with minimal resistance.
If you sand drywall or spray paint with n95, your nose gets filled with the paint or dust, I know from experience, that is why I knew masked did not work, maybe we should buy these people space suits.
Since most people do nothing they know nothing.
Once again, its easy just dont wear one mass non compliance. I never wore one haven’t seen my primary care in almost 2 years because of it. Anyone in a mask I automatically dismiss as a fucking retard.
An honest retard is still preferable to cowardly nameless shit heels.
You seem quite honest……

They’re harmful, not just benignly ineffective:

It’s all about compliance, submission, and psyop:
Almost 3 years ago, this insanity was what was promoted to the sheeple:

Anyone else see the problem with this? From a physics/biology perspective, I mean.
There’s 70+ years of hard data that facemasks DO NOT stop the spread of viruses. This was from a publication released by the CDC back in May, 2020. So these people running this organization didn’t even read or comprehend their own internal data. Facemasks were NEVER about stopping the spread of pathogens but rather as an obedience training tool, much like a choker chain collar used on canines.
It was former CDC Director Redfield that testified (lied) before Congress that facemasks were every bit as effective as vaccines were. Why is it that in all your Asian countries virtually EVERYONE wears a facemask all the time yet Covid-19 is still spreading like wildfire in those places?
The problem is, people. They are arrogant, egotistical and stupid.
One I know continues to argue that masks prevent the spread of viruses. I have shown them a dozen referenced articles showing that this not true. No matter, just denies the articles are true.
People are idiots. (commonly)What they believe initially is their reality. It is near impossible to change their mind once they have decided on “their truth”. They become immune to facts and figures. Everything gets filtered by “what I believe” and any contradictory information is simply rejected as “can’t be true, conflicts with my belief”. There is no examination of the value of the information, it is simply rejected.
It gets worse. The same person can see this behaviour in others when I point it out, yet cannot accept that they do the same.
You can’t teach anybody anything, unless they WANT to learn.
Fucking hopeless.
