they admit what all of us who were even a little science- and fact-oriented knew LONG ago: surgical masks make NO difference and in no way reduce exposure to airborne viruses. It was always all about control, not disease prevention! It was just a dog and pony show for the rubes…
It’s obvious to anyone who paid even the slightest amount of attention to COVID outcomes that masks do not work. The evidence against masking is overwhelming, from the decades of studies that confirmed masks did not stop respiratory infections, to years of universal masking failing to stop or even moderately slow the spread of the virus during the pandemic.
… For those who claim to follow science, their decision to ignore the evidence against masking is humiliating denialism. Akin to arguing against gravity or that the earth revolves around the sun. But in a remarkable feat of self-humiliation, some of the endless maskers wrote a lengthy letter to the World Health Organization that accidentally undermined the entire public health profession, their argument, and their religious leader, Anthony Fauci.
In a new letter to the WHO head, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, several mask fanatics, in an effort to promote the use of N95 respirators, claim that surgical masks do not “provide adequate protection against flu-like illnesses including COVID,” according to The Guardian. The letter says that there is “no rational justification remaining for prioritizing or using” surgical masks, because they provide “inadequate protection against airborne pathogens.”
… What this comes down to, as always, is that masks failed to stop COVID everywhere they were tried. They did not work. They did not slow or stop infections. Everyone got COVID, regardless of how often or consistently they masked, because they don’t work. But instead of just admitting they were wrong and moving on, the forever masking crowd is constantly seeking for more elaborate excuses to avoid dealing with reality. So they contradict everything public health told us, everything they themselves told us, out of desperation. And they wonder why nobody listens to them anymore. [emphasis added]
