1/ FL parents send 6 masks to a lab...
- 100% of masks contaminated.
- 50% w/pathogens, including multiple strains of pneumonia- and meningitis-causing bacteria.
- 1/3 with antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
- 2 masks w/more than 70 strains of bacteria.
2/ "Masks work" has become such a powerful mantra for public health, it has stifled not only research showing it doesn't, but also the ability to even question if it might cause harm.
3/ This is a testament to the power of children's immune systems. Every one of these pathogens is SIGNIFICANTLY more dangerous to children than SARS-CoV2. Yet they have been exposed over, and over, and over again.
(note, no SARS-CoV2 was found on the mask, because... )
4/ Some will say "but the masks are protecting them from those!" No. The parents submitted clothing worn as well, which was not contaminated w/pathogens.
These pathogens are GROWING on the moist environment provided by the masks.
Go smell your kids' masks.
5/
While children have immune super-powers, what about those who do not? Immuno-suppressed, the elderly, who have wrapped themselves in multiple masks in response to public health-induced fear?
We don't know, because no one will even ask.
6/
The "even if it's just a little" fallacy has been advanced for months in face of the total lack of evidence in favor. If they increase risk of other things by just a little, does this change the calculus?
7/ Despite the scientific communities moratorium on questioning the efficacy or harms of masks, evidence for the lack of efficacy, and presence of harms continues to mount. thesmileproject.global/post/masks-wha…
8/ It's time that we start asking these questions. This is one of the most obvious studies you could have done.
What about the social-emotional impacts? When will we know those? We won't if the public health community has anything to say about it. @EWoodhouse7
This was an invited guest, yet Stanford DEI admin ginned up so much fury about his visit that she closed her PREPARED & PRACTICED remarks with “I don’t look out & say, ‘what is going on here?’ I look out & say ‘I’m glad this is going on here.’”
2/ By ginning up this fury, she ensured these students would not join w/an open mind. She robbed them of the oppty to hear an opposing argument articulately stated. Was that the plan? That if exposed w/o being prejudiced these LAW students might find the rationale compelling?
3/ Stanford and other institutions are of course free to mold their students in this manner. It will backfire. This kind of behavior is toxic for workplaces, and the only reason people esteem places like Stanford is b/c you get better jobs w/more certainty.
Join me at my (new) home in Austin, TX for a fundraiser to support @Rstorechildhood. Their mission is to make sure what happened over the past 2+ years NEVER happens again ➡️ documentation, advocacy and research. Want to meet #TeamReality? Come! donorbox.org/events/372292
3/ This group is GOOD. They have done incredible work documenting the harms of pandemic policies. For a taste, check out here. youtube.com/restorechildho…
1/ Chickenpox vax doesn’t stop infection, DOES mostly prevent disease. You need a booster (after ~4 yrs). Developed 1974 ➡️ on US vax schedule in '96.
COVID vaxes don’t stop infection OR DISEASE. Boosters ~4mos. Developed in 2021--ACIP voting tomorrow (2022) to add to sched.
2/ Would you get the chickenpox vax if you still got chicken pox--seemingly more frequently than people who didn't? Probably not.
Even as it is, the chickenpox vax isn't recommended in the UK. Because it doesn't stop infection, and chickenpox not a bad disease for most.
3/ Yet ACIP is voting tomorrow to add this to the US kids' vax schedule, despite being disallowed for administration in children in many European countries. The safety signal is atrocious. The benefits--especially for children--non-existent.
1/ I see a lot of stuff now about whether fascism is left or right. It doesn't really matter.
Totalitarian mechanics are always the same--terror, isolation, atomization--they just have different motivating ideologies. The results are the same, whether Bolshevik, Nazi, Maoist.
2/
We fail to recognize this new threat as totalitarian, because it lacks the charismatic leader that we are used to--no hitler, no mao.
But the totalizing nature of the ideology, the inversion of reality to suit the ideology and so many more are unquestionable hallmarks.
3/ I can't recommend strongly enough Hannah Arendt's "The Origins of Totalitarianism". It's dense, but you will find so much of what she describes (the last third is most pertinent), describes what we are experiencing--just without the leader.
1/
The authors of this newest mask study acknowledge that masked districts exempted masked close contacts (all) from testing, but still claim it is legitimate. Let’s explore.
2/ But as usual, the opposite is true. We looked at data from more than 20 million kids, and found that masked districts missed 3x more days of school last year, than mask-optional.
1/ Effective immediately, I am withdrawing my candidacy. In search of normal, will be relocating to Austin, TX. This move is 100% due to the policies of the last 2 yrs.
2/ We have been unable to protect our children from the shrapnel of fear emanating from the media & Beacon Hill.
Our kids are set to be un-masked on 2/28. But I can't trust that. All it will take to undo, is a louder, more potent constituency making its demands known.
3/ So, we are leaving. Despite living here for nearly 20 years—longer than any other place we have lived.
18 months ago, I thought this was impossible, from a professional and real estate perspective. But necessity is the mother of invention.
