Israel’s another fun example of the comprehensive failure of masks

Back in June, experts from Cambridge said “routine face mask use” from only 50% of the public could flatten “future waves”

In EVERY SINGLE SCENARIO, 50% compliance worked to flatten the curve

Whoops
An Oxford professor praised their conclusions and said masks “are likely to be an effective population measure”.

It is a masterpiece of expert failure…their unbelievable ignorance, incompetence, groupthink, and an inability to acknowledge their own mistakes.
Here’s an article summarizing their unwavering commitment to pseudoscience.

Not since World War I have we seen this attitude so prevalent among the ruling class; a fundamental dissociation with reality in order to avoid admitting they were wrong

reuters.com/article/us-hea…
Brooks Pollock an expert from Bristol University, says in the article that the likely impact of masks could be much smaller than predicted.

Anyone heard of Brooks Pollock? No? Haven’t seen him all over the media?

Now you know why. Accurate skepticism on masks. Can’t allow it.

So ignoring that the CDC’s latest “study” is a trainwreck, their assertion is that mask mandates are associated with a 0.5% increase in the rate of decrease in Covid cases

Have we checked with Redfield if that still qualifies as better protection than a vaccine?
Seriously though, masks were sold as the single most important intervention, the single most important public health tool, and the best they could do is torture the criteria to a 0.5% increase in the rate of decrease?
Really though, the @CDCgov got what they wanted, headline news in the media saying masks work and restaurants are dangerous. It’s never about accuracy or detail, just about graphics they can use to sell their failed policies

On 11/22, Fauci went on CBS (shocking) and said mitigation measures “can blunt curves” into the colder season. What measures? Mask wearing, closing bars & capacity limits, of course.

LA County had already done all of that and went even further.

It did not blunt the curve ImageImage
You’d think at some point, he’d have to make something remotely approaching an accurate statement, but he just never does and he’s never called out for how demonstrably wrong he is.
You heard him, look at the numbers, look at the facts

The numbers and facts are that he was wrong. Again. As always. Image

Of all of the misinformation the devastatingly incompetent @CDCgov has posted, this might be the worst. Unsurprisingly reprehensible behavior.

Beyond everything else, they associated statewide mandates with County level data, which makes zero sense.

cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
For example, in California, counties like Los Angeles had mask mandates starting in early April. But in this horrific “study” they wouldn’t start their “reference” period until the middle of June, with the statewide mandate.

It’s just flat out dishonest.
The time periods they used are just…unbelievable. For masks, they say cases and deaths slowed within 20 days, for restaurants they used 41-100 days for cases and 61-100 days for deaths. Why? Because they’re trying to sell an agenda, not tell the truth.

I want to remind everyone that The Science™ that masks save lives is crystal clear.

Just ignore that we went from this headline: “Czech Republic has lifesaving Covid-19 lesson…: Wear a facemask” to them having the highest death rate of any major country

They just work, ok?
So this…this is lying to you. Imagine how much worse it would have been without masks, they might still be the country with the worst death rate in the world.
But don’t worry, at least the website founded by one of the biggest frauds of Covid, @jeremyphoward howard, celebrating the Czech Republic for saving lives with masks, is still up and running:

I want to apologize. I’ve been saying masks don’t work, but I was informed by a number of blue checks today that they work.

Got it? They just do, ok? It doesn’t matter if cases skyrocket w/mask usage. That just means they were working, but in mysterious ways.

So my apologies.
It literally does not matter what the data shows, because they work. You know it, I know it. They just work. Someone from the CDC decided they work a year ago based on nothing, and now they just work. They don’t have to prove it with data, or actually useful studies. They work.
How could they be working when all of these areas saw gigantic increases even after masks were put into place?

Doesn’t matter. Here’s a link to a compilation of useless lab studies from UCSF or Nature

When the Governor of Nevada mandated masks, he said that “infection disease scientists & experts advise that masks indisputably protect individuals against airborne transmission of respiratory diseases".

5+ months later Nevada had the highest hospitalization rate in the country
His experts also said “universal masking at 80% adoption flattens the curve significantly more than maintaining a strict lockdown”

Here’s compliance in Nevada from October-February w/the 80% target

For most of December, Nevada had the highest hospitalization rate in the country
Here we have a politician saying masks are “indisputably” proven to work. He set out a specific target of 80% compliance for it to be more effective than ANY OTHER INTERVENTION. That target was easily exceeded.

It did not work. Because masks do not work.
