The New York Times Finally Covers the Cochrane Study Proving That Mask Mandates Did Nothing to Slow the Spread of Covid
Actually, I lied. The New York Times itself has still not acknowledged the Cochrane study. The only mention in their paper comes from a columnist, allegedly from the "center right" liberal NeverTrumper Bret Stephens. He operates independently and chooses his topics himself, of course.
I suppose the editors could kill his column -- but only at the risk of further exposing the Times as a woke indoctrination newsletter. Ed Morrissey points out that not only has the New York Times not mentioned the study, but that the interview Stephens quotes is from February 5th. Quite a long time ago in the news business. And that interview, of course, was not conducted by a New York Times reporter. He had to go outside the "Paper of Record" to find reportage about the Cochrane Study because, once again, the New York Times has refused to cover it. And why won't they cover it? Because the Cochrane Study is an impeccable meta-study of 78 other studies which has proven, once and for all, that masks did nothing to slow the spread of covid. Nothing. Nothing. Comparing regions in which mask mandates were imposed to regions where they were not imposed shows no difference whatsoever in the spread of covid. Which Bret Stephens, alone at the New York Times, admits to its readers.The leftwing media, as well as the technocratic non-elite which claims to be elite but constantly fucks everything up and is always catastrophically wrong about everything, claims that the difference between them and "mininformers" and "disinformation spreaders" and "conspiracy theorists" is that, even though they sometimes get things wrong (for "sometimes," read "always"), they are always quick and forthright about admitting their errors. So: I'm sure you've noticed all the media and technocratic non-elite rushing to confess their errors? Remember, confessing errors is what they themselves say distinguish them from Disinformation Spreaders. If they don't confess their errors, they are Disinformation Spreaders and Conspiracy Theorists. Have they confessed, then? No, they haven't, and Bret Stephens tells them so in their own sorority newsletter.
The most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted on the efficacy of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses -- including Covid-19 -- was published late last month. Its conclusions, said Tom Jefferson, the Oxford epidemiologist who is its lead author, were unambiguous. "There is just no evidence that they" -- masks -- "make any difference," he told the journalist Maryanne Demasi. "Full stop." But, wait, hold on. What about N-95 masks, as opposed to lower-quality surgical or cloth masks? "Makes no difference -- none of it," said Jefferson. What about the studies that initially persuaded policymakers to impose mask mandates? "They were convinced by non-randomized studies, flawed observational studies." ... These observations don't come from just anywhere. Jefferson and 11 colleagues conducted the study for Cochrane, a British nonprofit that is widely considered the gold standard for its reviews of health care data. The conclusions were based on 78 randomized controlled trials, six of them during the Covid pandemic, with a total of 610,872 participants in multiple countries. And they track what has been widely observed in the United States: States with mask mandates fared no better against Covid than those without. ... [W]hen it comes to the population-level benefits of masking, the verdict is in: Mask mandates were a bust.
Those skeptics who were furiously mocked as cranks and occasionally censored as "misinformers" for opposing mandates were right. The mainstream experts and pundits who supported mandates were wrong. In a better world, it would behoove the latter group to acknowledge their error, along with its considerable physical, psychological, pedagogical and political costs. Don't count on it. In congressional testimony this month, Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, called into question the Cochrane analysis's reliance on a small number of Covid-specific randomized controlled trials and insisted that her agency's guidance on masking in schools wouldn't change. If she ever wonders why respect for the C.D.C. keeps falling, she could look to herself, and resign, and leave it to someone else to reorganize her agency. That, too, probably won't happen: We no longer live in a culture in which resignation is seen as the honorable course for public officials who fail in their jobs.
When the technocratic non-elite say "Trust the Science," do they actually mean trust the science? Or do they really mean "trust the technocratic non-elite's Public Relations Lies about what science is"? It's the latter, obviously.
Stephens makes a point I'll just digest: The CDC claims that it's "Still Right" because if people had obeyed with 100% compliance rates -- you know, like Perfect Robots -- then, in that impossible hypothetical, masks may have worked So There You Science-Denier, The Science of Masking Is Sound. Stephens points out that this is an insane hypothetical to claim vindication on. It's also entirely speculative. It's just like saying "If you just believe in masking enough the Masking God will send down Masking Angels from Masking Heaven to bat each covid virus away from the mask, then masks will work, but if you don't, the failure of the mask is due to your Sinful Questioning of the Science!" These "Science" Lovers would of course mock a religious person for saying that, but what they're saying is equally religious in nature. Any government plan that starts with "Assume perfect compliance by the citizenry" must be immediately be scrapped and the person proposing it fired. Not only is this a completely impossible scenario, but it belies a thirst for authoritarian control, because only with hyper-Mao levels of control over the most quotidian, intimate aspects of citizen lives could you even begin to approach the conditions necessary for perfect compliance. But that's how the CDC thinks, obviously. That's how the entire Regime thinks. I hate to quote the Joker, but: "They're schemers." Finally, he points out that the last justification -- this one offered by none other than Science Himself, Anthony Fauci -- is that masking is justified because it might make people "feel a little bit better" about walking around in public.
But the costs go deeper. When people say they "trust the science," what they presumably mean is that science is rational, empirical, rigorous, receptive to new information, sensitive to competing concerns and risks. Also: humble, transparent, open to criticism, honest about what it doesn't know, willing to admit error.
The C.D.C.'s increasingly mindless adherence to its masking guidance is none of those things. It isn't merely undermining the trust it requires to operate as an effective public institution. It is turning itself into an unwitting accomplice to the genuine enemies of reason and science -- conspiracy theorists and quack-cure peddlers -- by so badly representing the values and practices that science is supposed to exemplify.
The last justification for masks is that, even if they proved to be ineffective, they seemed like a relatively low-cost, intuitively effective way of doing something against the virus in the early days of the pandemic. But "do something" is not science, and it shouldn't have been public policy.Public policy? It was more than that -- it was a government-coerced mandate.
And the people who had the courage to say as much deserved to be listened to, not treated with contempt. They may not ever get the apology they deserve, but vindication ought to be enough.No, vindication is not enough. Here Bret Stephens flaks for his employer and the leftwing Karen audience it serves, telling them it's okay, after all, that they're not going to apologize or admit their gross errors. There is probably a lot more the government, media, and technocratic non-elite (TNE) got wrong, unfortunately:

This is a real read-the-whole thing article, but I can't quote it all. Hit the link to read more about the harms of the government mandated school closures and shutdowns.
When America faced the national tragedy of the Space Shuttle Challenger exploding in 1986, Congress created a commission with independent outside experts, including the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. His iconic demonstration of a faulty O-ring made brittle in the cold as the cause of the Challenger disaster led to fundamental reforms at NASA. The American people deserve a similar bipartisan, scientifically minded COVID-19 commission so the public-health disaster of the past three years is not repeated. Due to insufficient protection of older people -- whose COVID-mortality risk is more than 1,000-fold higher than that of the young -- official counts attribute more than 1 million deaths to COVID in the United States and almost 7 million worldwide. Though people vehemently disagreed about the wisdom of lockdowns, school closures, vaccine mandates and discrimination, masks and so much else, there is near-universal agreement that what we did failed. By early 2022, about 95% of Americans had contracted COVID despite the harsh countermeasures. A John Hopkins University meta-analysis concluded that lockdowns failed to contain the spread of COVID. At best, they temporarily protected the laptop class, who could work from home while being served by the working class.
We deserve it, but we won't get it. The Technocratic Non-Elite has made too many errors to admit any of them. It has shown itself to be utterly incompetent and unfit to keep their jobs, and the entire class needs to be mass-fired. They may then re-interview to get their jobs back; obviously, a fraction of them are competent. But the rest must be turned away to Seek Opportunities more in line with their lack of skill-set. So they will not admit any errors. They have decided upon their course of action in the wake of their epochal failures: They will simply deem anyone pointing out their murderous incompetence to be "disinformation spreaders," "conspiracy theorists," "RUSSIAN AGENTS," "racists," "transphobes," "haters," and "stochastic terrorists," and get their social media allies -- also heavily implicated in this series of apocalyptic failures -- to censor and deplatform them. Then they'll contact their allies in the financial sector to debank them, and their allies in the DOJ to prosecute them and add them to terrorist watch-lists.
Perhaps the most perplexing sin of the public-health establishment is that it abandoned an essential commitment to science. For instance, why did public-health authorities ignore clear scientific data that COVID infection-acquired immunity is stronger than vaccine-acquired immunity? Vaccine mandates forced many frontline workers -- heroes who contracted COVID early in the pandemic while doing essential work -- to choose between their careers and a vaccine that provides less protection than the natural immunity they already had. University presidents forced young male students, including those with excellent immunity from a prior COVID infection, to accept an elevated risk of myocarditis as the price of a college education. Many, faced with these anti-scientific choices, will never trust public-health authorities or university scientists again, even on vital topics such as the necessity of traditional childhood vaccines. One reason for the public-health establishment's systematic failure to arrive at correct answers to basic scientific questions is that the authorities sealed themselves off from outside criticism. Under the banner of combating "misinformation," government health agencies used their power to collaborate with social-media companies to control the public conversation about COVID science and policy. ... With such a litany of failures, the American people deserve an honest COVID commission to evaluate the response and document all the errors as well as the few successes.

Say that the masks were not porous to the virus. The way filters work is when they get saturated, one particle in means one particle out. That's why HEPA filters range from 12-36 inches in length in the direction of travel... also why filtration systems have various degrees of prefilters. How thick is that mask?

Relative to what?
I doubt that the costs of masks, including their disposal, is low-cost in the aggregate. They also came with mandates, which of course had to be enforced. Nothing low-cost about that in all likelihhood.
And that's all without considering limiting individual freedom, and gaining nothing in the process.

Not a "policy choice."
Because there are no facts-- not a study, not a thousand studies-- which you can cite that will change their minds.
A position that can't be changed no matter the facts is a religious belief.

COVID deniers claim a new study says mask mandates don’t work. They should try reading it. What is it about conservative COVID deniers and masks? For some reason, mask mandates have been the target of more overheated carping by right-wingers about anti-COVID measures than almost anything else, vaccines aside.
The anti-maskers jumped right on the study soon after its publication by the usually trusted Cochrane Library...(Stephens) missed this important admonition in the text: “The high risk of bias in the trials, variation in outcome measurement, and relatively low adherence with the interventions during the studies hampers drawing firm conclusions.”
...he missed the two studies in the meta-analysis that actually measured the effect of mask mandates in the COVID-19 pandemic and showed that mask mandates did reduce infections and the spread of the virus — quite the opposite of a conclusion that they “did nothing.”
I Miss Dr. Fauci. He brought common sense and science together and calmed a lot of feelings and mis-interpretations.

Oh, bullshit. Fauci was telling peers for the first couple of months that it was just theater and not to bother with them. You know why? Because your average retard gains zero benefit: either it's a flimsy-ass mask that could provide benefit to others *only if the others aren't retards and already licking doorknobs anyways*, or it's a more expensive respirator *that requires rigorous use that is beyond the reach of average retards*.
Fauci knew this. Anyone who understands the use of these things knew this. What this was about was politics: it was a medical hijab. That's why the proper conservative response was to double down and demand goggles and gloves, hound lefties not wearing them, AND to turn out in the 2020 counter-protests and community defense groups wearing them. That would have gotten face coverings banned in no time flat. Conservatives suck at this game because they're too busy jerking off over principles.

Not to mention the other side of the insane hypothetical: they got compliance. Almost universally. When they imposed mask mandates, virtually everyone complied with those mandates, at least for a while. The number of non-compliant people was tiny, and they were stymied at every turn by businesses enthusiastic in their enforcement of the mandate.
This faded and faded fairly quickly in some areas, but the initial compliance level was incredibly high. The argument is invalid on its face, even if the problem of impossibility is set aside.

Yup. There will be no reckoning. No big, public trials for crimes against humanity. No imprisonment. No fines. Not even firings. Nothing.
They took the opportunity to impose a total dictatorship, and one of the benefits of that is immunity from those kinds of things. They will ride this sucker all the way down.

I miss older women looking in terror if there was anyone around them and moving away. "
Towards the end of the authoritarian assault on our civil liberties, a woman harassed a man in the parking lot for not wearing a mask. He promptly picked up a shopping cart like Hulk Hogan and threw it at her car. When you see that, that level of frustration and anger, you know things are about to hit the fan.

it isn't perplexing at all. The author's assumption is wrong. The public health establishment, like all the rest of it, has an essential commitment to power. Science isn't a factor in anything they or anyone else does. Neither is economy. Neither is sanity. Neither is rightness.
The essential commitment is, for all of them, power. Nothing else.

Any government plan that starts with "Assume perfect compliance by the citizenry" must be immediately be scrapped and the person proposing it fired. Not only is this a completely impossible scenario, but it belies a thirst for authoritarian control, because only with hyper-Mao levels of control over the most quotidian, intimate aspects of citizen lives could you even begin to approach the conditions necessary for perfect compliance.
But that's how the CDC thinks, obviously.

Eventually we realized that people desperately want to believe they have some control over what happens to them, even when (especially when?) they don't. The thought that your child has autism and there's nothing you can do about it is just too much for them to bear. I think we saw the same thing with Covid. The Mask crowd wanted to believe they had some control, and additionally, it appealed to their sense of doing "the public good" by not only protecting themselves but reducing the overall spread. So a combination of a feeling of control, and a pretty cheap virtue signal.

You can't conserve anything when you're dead on in chains.
You know, generally I have a principle of not shooting people in the face, but there are exceptions for things like muggers. One must recognize when they're in a fight, and for the most part the conservative movement - with a lot of egging on from shills and traitors - is erring on the wrong side of this, the same way pacifists fail vs. muggers.

female brain will always want to enforce social obedience/compliance/conformity. it is the role we had for thousands of years. for biological reasons we are risk-averse to an extreme and we need everyone to go along / get along socially
look at the school mitigations - for a lot of administrators there was huge pressure to fully cancel things rather than just allow some kids to participate in person and some to zoom. why? b/c the moms were FREAKING OUT that their angels might "miss out" - everyone has to be the same! EVERYONE

That's far too generous. What we have here is a form of imposter's syndrome. Those who promoted this stupidity, which has been documented for some time, know they are incompetents so they cannot admit even small let alone spectacular failures. And, to belabor the obvious, the public health clowns are just symptoms and not the disease, to overdo a pun. The entire American system is littered with third-rate mediocrities and outright failures who tend to rise to the top. Biden would have been Exhibit A before dementia masked his idiocy.

Even that is slightly less dishonest than my local CBS affiliate was when they covered a similar (or maybe it was the same) study back in January.
Their spin was absolutely incredible. Their spin was, "studies show that surgical masks are as effective as N-95s in stopping the spread of COVID-19."
It's true, but it's hugely dishonest. I rarely audibly scoff or laugh or shout at my TV anymore, but that was such a whopper that it got a sort of mix of all three that came out as something like a gurgle.

You need some sort of organizational structure to oppose a government.
The left has co-opted or destroyed most opposition leaders.
Remember there was a time not so long ago when you could get massive conservative protests in the street. But then the GOP was captured and men like Mitch McConnell helped the Democrats destroy conservative opposition groups (he voted for FACE - yes he's been a traitor that long)

To enter, you had to be masked. I wore a bandanna and took it off inside.
Karens would go by passive aggressive speaking to the ceiling, not looking directly at me, saying "you need to be masked." I ignored the twits.
The restaurants that said you had to be masked to walk to you table, we ignored that bullshit and never masked.
In all of it I only got thrown out of one place, a restaurant in which the owner was a total fucking Nazi about the masks. I told him I'd never set foot inside his roach infested place again.

They diagnosed him with the Wuhan Flu also, which honestly he hadn't even noticed, that's how weak it was.

Normally I agree with this sentiment, but in this case, no. The only reason they backed off last time is because they had grown afraid of national fragmentation, which continues to this day. Americans are feminized and cowardly these days, but even craven fembots have a breaking point and in some areas they aren't even the majority.
Covid two things:
1. It revealed how weak and fearful people in the country and elsewhere are;
2. It signaled to those not weak and fearful that they need to separate from those who are.
In some ways, Covid was a good thing.

yeah, and even with perfect robot compliance, the (let's say) 5% reduction in transmission is offset by other downsides of masks. One big one is (many) people feel safe with the mask so they ignore the other things, like wash your hands.
Also the masks did harm, less O2 is proven, but imo the biggest thing is the social isolation. That is most damaging to children in school, but also to adults in any social setting.
"They" knew the science, it was all part of their destructive plans to isolate and divide, AND maybe most important to get "Cheat By Mail, Victory is Ours" battle plan into action.

It's something that never made any sense, like business hours restrictions on supermarkets, which is something many local governments imposed.
If you restrict business hours, you will not restrict business. People still need to shop, and there is almost nowhere to do it because you closed everything else. So by restricting business hours, you force the same number of people into a smaller period of time. In other words, you increase density. There is no other choice but to increase density. And during a communicable disease outbreak, increasing density is probably not a great idea. But they did it.

In order to be granted absolution, they first must acknowledge that what they did was wrong. Will they? Some might. But the vast majority will convince themselves that they were always in the right and WE were wrong, so their basic premise to be forgiven is incorrect.

Japan did have 100.00000% compliance with masks.
didn't work.
It didn't work because everyone was exposed with each wave, something that is more important and detailed than I can explain in this margin.

BUT, I did some personal reflection when I wore that mask that day. What have I become? I'm submitting to this insanity just to buy liquor! So when I got home I ordered a reflux still from Amazon. 2 weeks later it was pumping out 190 proof moonshine. Filled 2 five gallon buckets, then for some reason I quit drinking.

To enter, you had to be masked. I wore a bandanna and took it off inside.
Karens would go by passive aggressive speaking to the ceiling, not looking directly at me, saying "you need to be masked." I ignored the twits.
The restaurants that said you had to be masked to walk to you table, we ignored that bullshit and never masked.
In all of it I only got thrown out of one place, a restaurant in which the owner was a total fucking Nazi about the masks. I told him I'd never set foot inside his roach infested place again.

I flashed my med exemption letter at most places that insisted on the muzzles. The staff would blink at the letter, then shrug and let me go. One grocery's "security guard" had the nerve to suggest that my letter was a fake. I wrote a hard copy letter to the manager and to the head office, complaining about all this.
Funny, but the next week the guards were gone.

Japan's culture is no less valid than ours. Their traditional, bushido-inspired culture values women less, making them second-class citizens, blind obedience to a god emperor, and complete conformity to an elite monoculture.

I know a lot of people look at Twitter as a sewer, and it is, but like sewers, Twitter does serve an important service. Different people can get different utility from it, and one utility I've found is to see the largely unfiltered thoughts of a wide range of people.
In this case, MDs and other medical "professionals" are worth examining. Some of them are thoughtful, reasonable, articulate, and well worth reading. However, a distressingly large number of them are bigoted, doctrinaire, completely closed to other people's thoughts or ideas, authoritarian, and mentally dull.
Of course I knew that not every MD was a fascinating person, but it was instructive to see this for myself.

That's where the conversation ends.

Anthony Fauci, March 2020 on 60 Minutes:
...Fauci insisted that there is "no reason" whatsoever that anyone except for the health care providers who "really need" them should "be walking around with a mask."
Fauci can be seen on video actually mocking the notion, already entertained by those who were making a run on them, that masks would protect them from contracting The Virus. Making the air quotes gesture with his hands, Fauci remarked that while "wearing a mask might make people *feel* a little bit better," and while it "may even block *a droplet*," the bottom line is that "it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is."

Misuse, ill-fitting, and facial hair are common aspects of mask wearing that undermine their effectiveness.
However, 95% of the masks worn are technically incapable of effectively filtering out respirable aerosols. Even N95s are questionable.

No, it was the Banderites doing what they do that caused this. They were killing people for speaking Russian (their native tongue) on Ukrainian land. Just like the Banderites did to the Poles in the west when Bandera himself was doing it in the late 1920s and on into the 1940s.
Banderites insist on ethnic purity. They also got along well with both the communists and the Nazis, depending on who controlled the area at the time.

He's really well regarded in the critical world. Like, held up as one of the greatest filmmakers ever regarded.
I think he would have been huge had he made movies in the 50s and 60s. In today's market, he gets decent successes on smaller budgets, just enough to make what he wants pretty freely.
He'll probably end up with a Best Director Oscar when he's 70 for a film that's a lesser work to make up for lost time.

Seeing as it beat out Fargo, Shine, Secrets and Lies and Jerry McGuire, I'd say you're right.
I wanted everyone in that film to die, and when they did I celebrated.

The example that gets talked about most is him walking into a room. One shot on one side of the door, another on the other side of the door.
The actor ages a year in the cut. It took about 4 years to film.

Again, not a good idea to have open borders. Foreign actors with ill intent notice such things and may have been tempted enough to send a sabatoge team or two to try some things out.

I refused to get the injection and my place of employment treat the non-compliant like lepers. So many people just did what they were told.
For two years, couldn't get honest reporting from any 'conventional' news source or government agency. Apparently the truth about this giant public health disaster will be leaked out in stages.
