Seriously they just look like fools at this point. I guess they are banking on the majority of people not paying attention.

My research says that viruses are 1000x smaller than the mesh on any mask. Why are studies needed???

As long as you are going to ask for people in these agencies to come forward, also ask them how studies that clearly cherry pick the data to produce the results they want get published? I'm not talking about simple p hacking, but for example restricting the time window for the analysis so that the data is either going up or down as you need, but if you zoom out just a little bit, there is nothing to see. I just want to know how do these studies get published? Do the authors actually think they're doing good work? Almost all the studies that the CDC published in MMWR from the beginning of the pandemic were garbage: without even having to look and see whether they did their math right, you could see from the study design that the results were going to be: garbage.

I'm curious to know how you get an emergent property of complete incompetence from a group of well-educated people who should know better.

Mandy Cohen is yet another FemiNazi that the Biden Administration has forced down our throats. She's a disgrace to the beautiful state of North Carolina.

i need a very simple way of explaining that masks don't work! In talking about the last two articles with a friend, she insisted if an N95 is fit tested and tight enough to leave marks on your face, it is protecting you from catching a virus and that the oxygen molecule is smaller than the virus. She said "why would anyone work in infectious disease fields if they didn't have protection". Honestly, I don't know what to say at this point. My friend is very rational and fed up with the lies and misinformation related to Covid, but on the mask issue, she is not letting go! I'm clearly unable to convey the key points about the masks uselessness. Any suggestions on simple explanations would be appreciated! I am really enjoying these articles and appreciate the frankness of Paul's writing.
