New Covid Study Demolishes The Rationale For Masking

Obviously, if you were sick during covid, you should stay home and isolate. No one disputes that.

But Fauci and other other scumbags who paid their Chinese partners to manufacture covid said that you should wear masks at work or when shopping even if you weren't sick at all. You could have covid but be presymptomatic -- showing no symptoms, but still able to infect others.

Put aside the fact that masks are proven not to work.

If it's not true that you can infect other people if you have covid but are not showing symptoms, then there's no reason at all to wear masks, even if masks worked.

Because if you could only infect people when you show symptoms -- well, if you show symptoms, you stay home and self-isolate. You don't need to wear a mask in public because you're already not in public.

A new study shows that people who are presymptomatic cannot, in fact, spread covid. Or at least, they can't spread it except in "rare" cases.

David Zweig:

The paper, published in the August issue of the journal The Lancet Microbe, found that infected people presymptomatically--that is before they developed symptoms--very rarely had the ability to infect others.
...
What this means is that compelling people without Covid symptoms to wear masks in any number of environments--including, most controversially, schools--along with quarantining healthy people, closing schools, and other social distancing measures likely yielded far, far less societal benefit than we were told.
Neither finding has received much attention (outside of this newsletter), though both studies employed methods that are more reliable than those that supported the notion that "silent spread" fueled the pandemic.

No kidding, huh? What a surprise.

The Lancet paper detailed the results of what is known as a challenge study, where participants were purposefully infected with SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes Covid) and then monitored in a controlled environment. The researchers, from Imperial College London, then tested for presence of the virus on the inside of masks worn by participants, their hands, and the air and surfaces in individual rooms that participants were kept in for at least 14 days. The authors found that just 7% of emissions into the air and environment from infected participants occurred before the first reported symptom.
This is an arresting finding, considering that it contradicts the prevailing wisdom among health professionals, authorities, and the public. Modeling studies--which are conjecture, based on subjective inputs from the modelers--as early as May 2020 had estimated that roughly 30% to 50% of community transmission occurred before reported symptoms. This set the narrative for the pandemic, and was used as a justification for much of the policies imposed on the public.

But wait, there's more!

The Imperial College study bolsters the findings from a little-known study that I reported on earlier this year. That study, by researchers at Stanford University, assessed the results of a unique PCR test they developed that was able to determine not just whether a person was infected--which is what a standard PCR test does--but also whether they were capable of infecting other people. From their special test, the researchers found a remarkable 96 percent of people who were PCR-positive but without symptoms were not infectious.

Fauci was confronted with an older study, from the Cochrane review, released in February 2023. That study said that masks mandates did not work, period.

But in February, a major study from the Cochrane Library found that wearing them was pointless.
"There's still no evidence that masks are effective during a pandemic," Tom Jefferson, the study's lead author, said in February.
"There is just no evidence that they make any difference. Full stop."
Confronted with Jefferson's quotes, Fauci backtracked.
"When you're talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole, the data are less strong," he admitted.
"But there are other studies, Michael, that show at an individual level, for individuals," they might be protective, he said.

Fauci is being called a fraud.

I can think of other things to call him.

Fauci's claiming that while it has been proven that masking does not slow the spread of covid in the population at large, it may work in "individual cases."

What? If it doesn't work for the mass of people why would it work for individuals, which is of course that the mass is made up of?

But this is what this malignant midget troll, this Miguelito Loveless of gene-splicing, is down to now.

Social media erupted after Dr. Anthony Fauci was confronted by a CNN host with a study showing face masks made little to no difference in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conservative critics pounced on the former White House chief medical adviser after he acknowledged the masking study during the Saturday segment -- while continuing to insist that, at an individual level, other research shows face coverings are effective at curtailing the spread of the virus.

"When you're talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole, the data are less strong," Fauci admitted to CNN's Michael Smerconish.
"But there are other studies, Michael, that show at an individual level, for individuals," they might be protective, he said.
Fauci also stressed during the interview that at the moment "we're not talking about forcing anybody to do anything."
"Fauci admits that masks don't work for the public at large but still absurdly claims masks work on an individual basis. More subterfuge," Sen. Ran Paul (R-Ky.), a political nemesis of Fauci, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
"This is amazing. According to Fauci, masks work at the individual level but not on the pandemic level. Makes sense," TRIGGERnometry podcast co-host Konstantin Kisin
Dr. Anthony FauciDr. Anthony Fauci previously emphasized that he did not impose any mask mandates, but merely made recommendations to the public based on the science.
"Holy s***t @cnn just directly confronted Dr. Fauci on air with bullet proof scientific evidence that masks don't work at all. It only took three years, but finally!" Outkick host Clay Travis wrote.
"Fauci confronted with most definitive data analysis possible that masks make ZERO difference against Covid. Not a little, not slight- Zero. And he just mutters some numerical illiteracy bulls--t about 'individual protection.' He's a fraud and a liar," conservative commentator Buck Sexton said.
"It's really hard to assume Fauci's disastrous 'mistakes' were in good faith when he refuses to acknowledge obvious facts that don't require a PhD to decipher. It looks a lot more like 'TRUST THE SCIENCE!' only applies when it suits Fauci's personal or political narrative," former senior White House and US Intelligence Community official Cliff Sims said.

3) [In a private email to a friend] Masks do nothing

Yup. Essentially, everything is like how Alex Jones was at his worst: mostly bullshit, but not completely non-credible. Like him, they sometimes get one - and it's often a big one - right.

Reflexively taking the opposite position is still dangerous (as your linked article points out). It's best, I think, to just assume that everything is a lie until you have yourself found enough evidence to let you draw a different conclusion. That will be a different threshold for every person.

Zero trust is a bitch.

Would it have been too much to ask all (not just homosexuals) people to just stop the orgies for 90 days?

Then again, they never even tried to close the bathhouses either. I guess the health experts really hate the homosexuals and want them to suffer and die.

When the mask mandates first dropped, and there was some hope that they would be temporary (very little hope, but some) I would wear my race helmet to the stores as a mocking gesture. Full-face helmet, full visor. I posted pics to FB and my racing brothers and sisters did the same.

120 The scariest thing about Covid hysteria has been how thing we all knew were memory holed in April 2020. If you remember before Covid, people in Asian countries wore masks all the time, especially on public transit and during flu season. And if you googled “why do Asian people wear masks in public,” you’d get a brief explainer on how people started doing that in response to the SARS outbreaks as a sort of moral panic and how it probably wasn’t that effective because if you’re already sick, you just shouldn’t be in public anyways. The main argument against mask wearing was “well, people in these countries wear masks and they still get flu outbreaks, so probably not all that effective, but it makes these people feel like they’re doing something.” Nowadays you can’t even discuss that on social media without getting banned.

Many of them are still throwing in with this garbage despite clear evidence that what they are doing is contrary to facts and ultimately the public good. Public health officials, both federal, state and local deserve zero trust and they've proven it. They are the ones who acted as the driving force, with doctors and other health professionals as their foot soldiers. Gone are the days where you can let anything they say go without scrutiny. They no longer act in your interest, rather they put their personal predilections, professional shibboleths, fears and inability to process facts ahead of your health. Very few should or can be trusted. They've forever destroyed that distinction.

Well, you could wear MOPP gear, but it's similarly not going to stop the transmission, circulation and spread of a respiratory virus in a general population.

Hell, people get infected in laboratory settings wearing all of the appropriate gear.

232 From their special test, the researchers found a remarkable 96 percent of people who were PCR-positive but without symptoms were not infectious.

The PCR tests alone were so bogus through simple cycle manipulation - forget all of the mischief and fraud with handling the PCR tests, and with the fact PCR tests are not supposed to be used for the purpose of testing Go/No-Go.

The study itself is likely corrupted and useless since the diagnosis via PCR is useless.

255 This is why we're losing

Mask mandates work great - as a political tool. And the progs supporting them who aren't NPCs *KNOW* it's a political tool. There is zero point in letting them frame the argument by responding with "but this study says..." Ok so fucking what? What about that study? A study the MSM will never mention, that Facebook, Twitter, even messaging apps will strip out or block links to, that you'll get banned for posting? They're going to paint you as the bad guy because that's what their MSM+censorship complex is intended for.

Fight political maneuvering with political maneuvering. If you don't want mask mandates, then complain loudly that masks aren't effective without goggles and demand the addition of goggle mandates, and THEN be willing to put them and go out and hound progs for not wearing them. Abuse face coverings for anonymity at every opportunity (as they did during summer 2020). Then see how fast they get prohibited.

They're willing to strap shit on their face to defeat you politically. What are YOU willing to do? They are not acting in good faith; sitting around whining engaging with their bad-faith public positioning will get you nowhere.

I suspect it won't be states. It'll be businesses, including schools and hospitals. Postal service and banks will make you mask up, or you can't come inside. Various retailers, etc.

Governors won't have to do the heavy lifting, except to issue threats to all those businesses, that if there are enough positive cases walking through your doors, and yes, they will be tracing, your only defense from shutting down will be your strict adherence to masking procedures.

Yet the primary reason that the masks are useless is because 95% of the retarded general public proceeds to touch everyfucking public surface in sight and then not wash their fucking hands.

If you wanted an effective feel-good measure it'd be a hand-washing campaign, but there is no political utility in that. Masks are great because they make gullible conservatives rail about masks instead of finding responses that are actually politically effective. Whining about facts isn't politically effective; these people are literally angling and killing a bunch of you and enslaving the rest. Everything they do is working towards this goal and they don't give a flying fuck about anything else.

At least Sid got something right. But smugness and feeling like others care doesn't do a damned thing about taming COVID.

Rather, it is well known that increased levels of stress and anxiety harm the immune system. All of the hate, death threats and vitriol against sane people who went about their normal business without the pointless virtue signaling shows that you don't care, and not only don't care but hate and act in a manner to actually harm people.

Smugness never saved a child's life, but banning people and getting them canceled has the secondary effects of harming their children.

313 What would happen to a corporate CEO who circumvented a ban on experimenting with a dangerous substance and as a consequence millions of people died?

Then what would happen if he lied and told everyone they weren't sick due to his actions but rather due to nature, and when confronted with the sick and dying he tells them to wear a handkerchief over their faces in the full knowledge it will do no good whatsoever?

Whatever would happen to that guy needs to happen to Fauci ---- 7 million times over.

316 I want to go on record announcing that my immediate family (koo koo estranged trans son excluded) will gladly get just as many shots and wear masks just as often as we did in the last round. Heck, I'll even say we'll be getting twice as many shots and masks. Four times!

Mom's funeral, two+ years back, our Smallville crowd ushered into the back room of the church before the service. Every single one of the rest of the fam & folks, mostly lib sibs and the like, were masked, including the priestess lady. Our contingent just stood there with our bare faces hanging out. Everybody died! No, of course not. Nobody said anything. But I larfed to m'self. Still do.

320 Their compliance serves to prolong the nightmare. These are the same sort of people who'll gladly turn in their firearms when ordered to do so, who'll gladly make their breakfast waffles with cricket paste and willingly move into a 15 minute urban area with no police protection.

It's not so much virtue signaling as it willful compliance with the State. Because they identify with the State. It's their religion and they will be compliant. And they really, really want you to be compliant too.

I'm at about poem 40 in the style of Sylvia Plath told from the perspective of a manic AWFL.

I will try to publish it on the Amazon just to see what happens. The most recent is "A Moment of Reprieve" about how the nightly glass of wine is the best moment of her day.

333 Asymptomatic spread of a respiratory virus was always nonsense.

The symptoms ARE the spread mechanism of the virus. If you don't have enough virus in your lungs to have symptoms, you don't have enough of it in your breath to infect anyone.

345 It does not take a PhD to know that a mask cannot stop a virus.

Take a chain link fence and a mosquito and ask someone if the mosquito can get through the fence. Then tell them there is a clump of 200 mosquitoes, can that clump get through the fence. Yes, it easily can.

Then explain to them that the holes in the mask are equivalent to the chain link fence and that the virus is equivalent to the mosquito. Can the virus get past the mask? Obviously, if they are above 80 I.Q. they will immediately understand.

If the virus can get through the mask on the way out the virus can get through the mask on the way in.

346 We didn't need these new studies to know that asymptomatic transmission of the FauxiCCP19 virus is not a thing. This was declared publicly by the head of WHO's contact-tracing effort in June of 2020, when she announced that they had told their contact-tracers to stop bothering to look at contacts infected people had before they were symptomatic because they weren't finding any significant number of infected people that way.

That wasn't a clinical trial, but it was a much bigger body of evidence than any clinical trial could ever approach.

Posted by: Alec Rawls at September 05, 2023 04:54 PM (wh9C3)

347 Actually the vaccine rollout COULD have been conducted as a massive clinical trial, and under the Emergency Use Authorization rule, this was supposed to happen.

Everyone who got the vaccine was supposed to be followed as part of the vax-recipient group, and there were plenty of vax-refusers to add to the followed-up-on unvaxxed group. It just wouldn't be double blind, so placebo effects would be missed, but that is a second-order concern.

It isn't placebo-level effects that we are worried about. It is death rates. But Fauci intentionally blew up the control group by dishonestly declaring the vax so safe and effective on the preliminary evidence that it wasn't ethical not to give it to the placebo/control group as well.

Posted by: Alec Rawls at September 05, 2023 04:56 PM (wh9C3)

348 Guess I should read the main poast and every comment, but -

The first day they started pushing this mask BS made the whole op transparent - teh idea that a cloth or paper mask will protect either side of the mask from any virus is about the stupidest fvcking ludicrous line of BS I have heard pushed evah!
People that complied disgust me and they were unavoidable. Normally I just avoid being such dullards but when everybody from your own boss, to the grocery bagboy, to security at the clinic is pushing this shiite One knows the boxcars CAN HAPPEN HERE.

351 Meh. Mask do work on an individual level - IFF...
If you're sick and coughing up stuff, then they help reduce how much stuff you're spewing into the air.
If you have certain conditions (not comorbidities, but things like a bad immune system) they might reduce the viral load you intake, helping you to fight it off.
If you're around people spewing stuff into the air, it might reduce your intake of viral load.
If you want to rob a bank, then they will help you individually to do so.

352 "Obviously, if you were sick during covid, you should stay home and isolate. No one disputes that."

I vehemently dispute this. It appears to state if one has ever had Kung Flu, one is forever a social pariah. Hasn't there been enough "othering" going on? Sounds a bit too woke for a smart military blog.

Or perhaps I missed the sarcasm.
