Censorship !

For a long time now I have questioned the effectiveness of face masks in preventing Covid or in stopping the spread of the coronavirus. There are many reasons for my skepticism mostly based on my personal observations. If the masks in question were N-95s, preferably fitted N-95s, then my feelings would be different … but in common day usage when anyone speaks about face masks, they are referring to a potpourri of garden variety face masks purchased at Walgreen’s or from some unknown entity on the Internet. Granted some of these random face masks may be wonderful, but as I have queried before how come there has not been any standardized evaluation and grading of different face masks?

In fact, I will go a step further on face masks and Covid. Again based solely on my personal observations, I think that face mask use has prolonged and perpetuated this epidemic, because wearing a face mask, no matter how poorly made or how sloppily worn gives individuals a false sense of security. A feeling that because of their face mask, they are invincible to an attack by the Covid virus, when in fact they are not. I predict that the mandatory forced wearing of face masks by school children will soon serve to prove my point.

At best I can tell there are no randomized, peer-reviewed studies proving the effectiveness of garden variety face masks in preventing the spread of Covid. In fact, almost just the opposite as exemplified by Senator Rand Paul’s YouTube ban because he referenced two recent peer reviewed studies that showed the opposite. As most of you know, Rand Paul is a physician, and until proven otherwise the reviewers at YouTube are not. Senator Paul was not shy at expressing his opinion concerning his being censored.

“Leftwing cretins at Youtube banned me for 7 days for a video that quotes 2 peer reviewed articles saying cloth masks don’t work.”

Good for Senator Paul who continued:

“Saying cloth masks work, when they don’t, actually risks lives, as someone may choose to care for a loved one with COVID while only wearing a cloth mask. This is not only bad advice but also potentially deadly misinformation.”

Interesting that here Rand Paul M.D. is actually making a comment similar to what I said earlier in this piece.

As Dr. Paul also commented that it was an honor to be banned by YouTube for spreading the truth, he is now one of my heroes. My goal is to be similarly banned  … !

For those interested there is an amazing video by immunologist  Byram Bridle talking about the sizes of different viral particles related to the pore sizes in face masks. At the end of his video there is an amazing demonstration of how ineffectual face masks really are.

  1. I wonder if the Lone Ranger ever got sick? There certainly was a lot of dust out there on the open plains / prairie. And baths were few and far between. But alas his mask served only one real purpose and that was to hide his identify. In many ways that’s what todays masks are really doing, just shielding oneself from reality. As De. Paul says it’s just theater.
