Bah Humbug: No Matter How Hard They Try, Masks Still Don't Work
Another study on N95 masks making the rounds is still misleading
While millions of Americans are celebrating Christmas, one of the most important days in Christendom, there remains a contingent of people whose faith remains firmly in the camp of mask zealots. You might spot some while shopping at the market for your Christmas dinner - four years after our very own high priest of masking, Anthony Fauci, pushed them on the country.
They will never stop trying to push masks. It’s a fanatical, religious obsession.
It’s an obsession that started in 2020 when The Science™ decided that decades of research into masking was somehow irrelevant and inaccurate, despite no new studies or evidence suggesting otherwise.
Throughout the pandemic, there were several attempts by the High Priests of The Science™ to justify masks. All were embarrassingly inept.
There were mannequin studies, where experts tried to use dummies to say that masks would stop respiratory virus transmission when worn by humans. There were phone surveys, where conflicted researchers tried to say that masks made people less likely to get COVID based on self-reporting. That study even tried to incorporate non-statistically significant results out of desperation, and they would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for outsiders pointing it out.
But a study published this year went a step further, at least incorporating human beings in an attempt to promote masks. Predictably, it’s gotten attention from observants of the mask faith. Though, as with every piece of mask propaganda, it’s misleading.
Very misleading.
