Could someone clarify something for me...I've shared this post and the Cochrane Mask study link and the response is that the Cochrane Review changed their minds that masks work. I remember hearing something to this effect, but can't remember (or find) the details.

Today's (10 March 20234) NYT opinion piece - https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/10/opinion/masks-work-cochrane-study.html

I've asked them to withdraw the opinion and publish an apology.

Anybody that can do simple 3rd grade math knew these mask could never work. Covid 0.1 microns the blue masks stop 1 micron at best, cloth mask 20+ microns and n-95 0.3. Now when I went to school inthe 60's and 70's 0.1 was less than any of those

were any trials done in western countries and by established scientists. I'm not aware of significant scientific research coming from Bangladesh. Please pardon my ignorance, but I would like to know more about this study. who were the scientists working on it, number of people in the study,criteria to be followed, publications in respected journals, etc. For example, i could mask hundreds of dogs and have a local dog catcher do a study,and report it as coming out of Canada.How many people would accept these findings. too much is missing for me to accept this as a true study. possible fake news.

Might this unseen debate be a tiny bit more important to your and your children's future freedom?

I'm living in the twilight zone. Visiting my mom in Arizona. It's almost 90 degrees in February. So, I go to the grocery store, and I see this young kid collecting the shopping carts in the parking lot with a mask on. Ordinarily I just remain silent, but I just lost it. I asked him if he was ok and feeling well. He seemed confused. I said its 90 degrees and you are outside wearing a mask? He said i don't feel safe without one. I told him I was a doctor, and he was young, healthy and the mask would lower his immunity and make him more at risk for covid and bacterial pneumonia. At that point he just lowered his head and said nothing. I doubt if anything I said will help him but sometimes try.

Anyone who EVER pushed, mandated or enforced masks was ultimately aiding and abetting coercion to avoid informed consent over vaccines. I said in March 2020: "These people will never take those off until the vaccine comes out". We have people wearing them for a FOURTH straight year. It's terrorism.

Andrew Farmer nails it in his post. Sorry to hear about your mother and the problems you had just trying to talk to her. What they did is a disgrace to treat people that way.

Masks were used as obedience training for the vaccine. And along the way they realized that there was some serious coin to be made by selling boatloads of masks everywhere. Thus the pursuit of money became more interesting than following the science. What they could not know beforehand is how people that were terrorized would respond to the mask mandates.

I'm sure the psychopaths were delighted by the uptake and that told them everything they needed to know about how cruel they could be to an unsuspecting public that had no critical thinking skills to speak of. This is what it has come to.

The masks were always known by those high up to be totally useless, and they were caught taking their masks off when the cameras stopped rolling. They've had semi-secret, or secret, parties where revellers interacted closely without any masks, distancing, or avoidance of contact.

Meanwhile we had to "visit" our loved ones in hospitals, care homes etc., masked, gloved and aproned up. And that was when we were even allowed in.

On several occasions I could only visit my mum in a care home with me sat outside shivering in the cold snow sat on garden furniture, wrapped in a coat, scarf, woolly hat and gloves. . .speaking to her via a mobile phone through the bleedin' window! Sometimes I had to use an umbrella too, to avoid getting truly soaked.

My mum, sadly now deceased, had dementia so that was a real pisser.

Masks etc were all about projecting upon everyone the fake sheer terror and seriousness we were in by our evil leaders (and hidden leaders) with the blatant signs of masks. They also instilled obedience and compliance, highlighting to these psychos the effectiveness of the sick program.

They used them to make us have the cynically intended jabs. That was the plan all along.

I've been pitching this "solution" in posts for years. What we need is a serious investigative journalism organization that focusses on all the topics Steve focusses on. It needs to be well-funded, organized, well-marketed and fearless.

I think enough people would respond favorably to maybe change some narratives.

Carlos the regular troll and or AI bot is back. As he commented below. He will tell your that mrna shots are safe and effective. He will tell you masks work. He will tell you social distancing works.

Bangladesh showed nothing other than researcher bias. Anyone who read the study would easily see it. And anyone who reads a "virus" study will see there's never been a confirmed "virus." Please read "the science" and trust logical conclusions. No mask can "work" against a hypothetical "virus." There will never be an honest study demonstrating efficacy of masks against "virus." Never.

I was thinking that since language matters, we should never again call a covid mrna shot a "vaccine" as they never met the true definition of "vaccine. Similarly, we should stop using the term mask and call them what they are. Government sponsored mind contorol "Face Diapers"
