Largest Study Of Mask Efficacy Ever Being Withheld For Being “Too Controversial”

[wacojoe]

One of our candidates’ primary pitch is forcing universal wearing of masks, “I would insist that everybody in public be wearing that mask. Masks save lives (dramatic pause for effect, pointing finger) P-E-R-I-O-D.”

Why not just conduct a randomized controlled trial to test whether masks work against COVID-19? Why assume such a draconian and dehumanizing mandate works as if it's an article of faith and create such division when we can discover which side is correct? That's what a group of Danish researchers felt, which is why, over the spring, they conducted such a study. So why have the results not been published, three months later? According to one Danish newspaper, the study has been rejected by three medical journals because the results are too controversial...

The researcher involved told the Berlingske, "The study and its size are unique in the world, and the purpose was once and for all to try to clarify the extent to which the use of masks in public space provides protection against corona infection."...

The CDC, prior to changing its position on universal mask-wearing, had previously cited 10 randomized controlled trials that showed "no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks." Now, the CDC and other elite institutions would have us believe that coronavirus is somehow different. The Danes were the first to actually study the effect of large-scale universal mask-wearing specifically against the spread of COVID-19...

Here’s a guess — the study will be published after 11/3/2020.

Put it on or off your choice, DUH.

Acknowledging “The Science” has never been the forte of the Statist Command & Control Freaks if it leads to much individual freedom of choice.

Here is my take. Common sense tells me that a virus that is spread primarily through respiratory droplets could be slowed down (not stopped) if everyone wore a mask. Can you wear a mask and still get it yes. What is more confusing to me is why this has gotten so political. Oh I forgot this is an election year.

The latest revision of how the virus, which is too small in size to be filtered by masks, is spread by aerosoled droplets and by contact . At least one of the studies referenced above theorized that cloth masks serve to aerosol larger droplets as a wearer coughs or sneezes, which was a reason prior WHO recommendations warned against wearing certain kinds of masks. Even the CDC to this day denies ever promoting that mask wearing protects the wearer as opposed to others from what a wearer might project.

It seems counter-intuitive that masks should not protect, but prior studies of virus epidemics and masks have come to that conclusion before numerous times, which is why I am so curious about this recent one and so suspicious of the result being suppressed.

I had to use the restroom at Walmart. Masks do not filter all particles. If covid comes outa butts, I'm dead.
