The Latest Mask Research Is Bad News For Branch Covidians
[Townhall] Unless you’re visiting a medical facility still taken in by the mask-cult or you live in a big city or some obscure California county run by hypochondriac Democrat whack-jobs, you’re probably generally living your life without being forced to wear a useless, bacteria-laden piece of t-shirt material over your face. However, if your overlords have gone out of their way to clarify that mask mandates have only been lifted because Covid rates have gone down or even that recent iterations of the virus have become less deadly, they are purposefully missing the overall picture and slyly holding on to the pretext that will invite the insanity back at any point - that masks "work" to stop or curb the spread of highly contagious respiratory viruses.

A University of Louisville study released in May 2022 found that mask mandates and greater compliance resulting from them "did not predict lower growth rates when community spread was low (minima) or high (maxima)." The study, which used CDC data across several seasons, found that mask usage and mandates "are not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 spread among US states."

Remember that CDC study purporting to show that school masking was effective? Did you wonder what the results would have been if someone had conducted a higher quality study over a greater sample size and period of time? Ambarish Chandra of University of Toronto and Dr. Tracy Hoeg of University of California, Davis did exactly that with this Lancet study titled, "Revisiting Pediatric COVID-19 Cases in Counties With and Without School Mask Requirements—United States, July 1—October 20 2021." Their results: "... no significant relationship between mask mandates and case rates." Color me shocked.

My most common Maskaholic rebuttals have been.

Why do you think wearing a NON-Medical Mask will protect you from a deadly Medical situation?

Or

OH! N-95/KN-95, so 5% of the air is still infecting you?

So many Real Experts have been flamed / blackballed too many times, over the last 18 months. Simply for pointing out, cloth is nothing but a dust rag and virus collector.

Or pointing out that the paper 3 ply masks filtering ability fall seriously short of the c-19 Virus size. Hence, why DR. Fake started up with double masking.

The Media owes a lot of people serious apologies for questioning their professional and ethical standings for presenting REAL FACTS.
