Let Them Eat Taser

Published this month in the Journal Of Virtue Signaling;

We now have the most authoritative estimate of the value provided by wearing masks during the pandemic: approximately zero. The most rigorous and extensive review of the scientific literature concludes that neither surgical masks nor N95 masks have been shown to make a difference in reducing the spread of Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses.

This verdict ought to be the death knell for mask mandates, but that would require the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the rest of the public health establishment to forsake “the science”—and unfortunately, these leaders and their acolytes in the media seem as determined as ever to ignore actual science.

  1. F***, this old man said that, what, three years ago? Well, no one listened to me then, not the PM and not the premier, so now, tell me, just who really gives a f***.

    1. Not to worry … the most OBEDIENT citizens among us, will reject THIS science as right wing hooey. They will go on covering their faces because equity or something. Saving others lives, or something.

      Yep – same here.

      NO Shit Sherloc…its what the Literature Said from the time of the Black Death ffs…up until it ALL got scrubbed from the web right around January/February 2020.

      Anyone wanna spew out the utter bullshit that this entire NAZI inspired shitshow of a “pandemic” WAS NOT PLANNED….?????????

  2. Does anyone remember when others forced children as young as three to wear masks?

    Good times …

  3. On Van Island every hospital and doctor’s office require masks to be worn. I asked my family doctor (mask required) when the charade will end and he said….NEVER!

  4. A couple of responses:

    // A meta-analysis pools the results of multiple studies.
    This approach assumes (a) RCTs are the “best” evidence and (b) combining results from multiple RCTs will give you an average “effect size”.
    But RCTs are only the undisputed gold standard for certain kinds of questions. For other questions, a mix of study designs is better. And RCTs should be combined in a meta-analysis only if they are all addressing the same research question in the same way.
    Here are some reasons why the conclusions of this Cochrane Review are misleading. […]

    Out of the 78 papers analyzed in the review, only two actually studied masking during the Covid-19 pandemic. And both of those found that masks did protect wearers from Covid-19. But these studies are drowned out by the greater number of studies on influenza included, where the benefit of masking is harder to detect because it’s a far less contagious virus than Covid-19.

    1. I’d like to take your responses apart bit by conflict of interest bit, but I do not care to refute bullshit. I’ve been doing it for 3 years now & there is nothing further I can say that will convert the religious.

      That said, just a couple of quick highlights:
      1) Citing the Grunnion is worse than citing the CDC. May as well use Wiki;
      2) Oh, wait, they cite the CDC, as well. Quelle surprise. No conflict of interest there;
      3) Check the conflicts of interest in the disclosure statement;
      4) They go on & on about the efficacy of N95 masks & respirators, yet no North American mandates specified them. Standard blue hospital masks & home-made cotton/polyester were de rigeur;
      5) This isn’t the only article analyzing mask efficacy. Over the last three years and, even before, there are significant studies calling BS on mask efficacy;
      6) I could go on, at length.

    2. “Randomised controlled trials in health care workers showed that respirators, if worn continually during a shift, were effective but not if worn intermittently. Medical masks were not effective, and cloth masks even less effective. ”

      From your first link, without even addressing the problems with their meta-analysis, came to the conclusion that respirators if used for the whole shift were the only thing that was effective.

    3. So only two studies were done during Covid 19? Sounds like we have bugger all data then to say that they work, or don’t work for that matter.

    4. Rubbish….flu viruses and COVID are almost exactly the same size….masks don’t stop the spread of the flu. Nor do they stop the spread of COVID.

      1. The public information seems to be that fomites are not a problem for Covid, I have no idea what the scientific background Is for that, I would be surprised if its anything given the lack of studies around masks and covid.

        So when apparently you take your covid covered cloth mask off and chuck it in your pocket, then rub your face, none of the covid infects you. Unlike the flu which definitely would. I have no explanation of this magic. only it seems to be a commonly held beleif.

    5. Dizzy

      The bottom line is this:

      The smallest opening in any mask is typically ~10,000mU. (Microns – 1 Billionth of a Meter)
      The largest airborne viral particulate matter is ~ 100 mU

      I’m going to assume you can do the math….?
      Paper Cloth Masks have NEVER EVER Worked.
      You want 100% safety..??

      NBCW Suit: Military grade (Nuclear – Biological – Chemical – Warfare)
      SABA: Self contained Breathing apparatus
      HAZMAT: Self explanatory

      Mask mandates were 1000% used as dehumanizing measure and to control the population. Nothing else.
      WE are dealing with NAZI’s

  5. COVID is the new government religion. The Jab is its Communion. Lockdowns are its Passover. The mask is its Rosary.

    1. Mike, close but no cigar.

      It’s a leftist religion, not a government one.

      1. Given that those who make up the permanent government class tend to lean left to far left, the venn diagram of “leftist religion” versus “government religion” would have huge overlaps

    2. Brilliant MikeT … spot on!

      And let me add that leftists MOCK the crap out of Christians for believing in an “invisible” God. Yet … EVERY ultra secular religious fear- mongering dogma is … invisible. The COVID bug is invisible … “you are probably carrying a MASSIVE viral load and you don’t even know it!” … “micro plastics are everywhere! You can’t see em, but they’re killing babies and puppies!” … and for the coup de gras … “global warming is destroying the planet” … “co2 is a colorless, undetectable, invisible gas that is ENDANGERING life itself!”

      Ohhhhhhhh mommmmaaaa … the invisible secular Satan’s are killing us all!! Run!! Hide!!

      Because nobody can SEE, TOUCH, or FEEL any of the secular doomsday dogmas … they are unable to be disproven.

  6. A VISIT TO ST PAUL’S HOSPITAL IN VANCOUVER YESTERDAY

    – Wife was booked for a minor procedure.
    – I phoned the day before with a query.
    – As per usual nowadaze there was a long voice recording before being routed to the receptionist (who could barely spreak English).
    – Voice Message: Must be fully vaccinated or will not be allowed in.
    – She, like me, is un”vaccinated”.
    – We shrugged our shoulders
    – Got there, signage before the front door says full vaccination required plus masks plus 6 feet social distancing.
    – Two tables with 4 staff handing out masks with tongs (better Psyop 19 theatre)
    – No mention about vaccination. So a flat out lie.

    SO the vaccination requirement was an empty threat. I find myself wondering if people booked for a St Paul’s visit may have been panicked into getting the jab. At the hospital then it’s March 2020 though thankfully there was no yellow police tape over chairs to effectuate the magical mystical 6 feet of separaration.

    As keen conservative observers point out all the misinformation is coming from gubmint and its agencies.

    1. Any time anyone asks me for my vaccination card … yep … I’ve got one from the two jabs I took … I look em square in the face and tell them … “this is a counterfeit card” … “it’s fake”. And they do nothing. Say nothing.

  7. I haven’t been here for more than 10 years but came to find the same old, same old BS.
    You are so fake, Kate, that only your demented retinue does not notice it.
    Whose project are you? RCMP’s? CSIS’s? Windsors’? CIA’s?
