More Mask Madness

This mask cult is very troubling to say the least.

A friend in New Hampshire was telling me how his face shield (which is even more useless than a mask) wasn't enough at a bank as the teller felt he needed to wear a mask. He was given one with the bank's logo on it - cotton. The one even the mask liars admit suck.

Last time out, I warned against the idiocy of assuming there's no flu because of masks. Doing so ignores dozens up dozens of studies going back decades that show masks are ineffective against the flu. There's other facts at play including shifting flu cases to Covid since we don't even test for the former. It's an easy shift to make.

Now I'm hearing, and this was my fear though it was inevitable, people start claiming masks and social distancing work in schools.

This is wrong and commits the error of falsifiability.

First off, several studies in several countries have already shown going back to April of 2020 schools are main drivers of community outbreaks. We also know kids aren't vectors of the disease. So you're already operating from a low prevalence environment. In other words, outbreaks were low to begin with and to claim masks did the trick has to be demonstrated. Not assumed through simple observation.

Stop it.
