“It’s late 2024, and masking has managed to remain a contentious issue. Years of misinformation from supposed ‘experts’ like Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx and organizations like the CDC have convinced millions of Very Smart People to believe that masks are an effective tool to reduce the transmission of respiratory viruses. This applies also to the flu, despite those same experts and organizations somehow neglecting to recommend masks for the decades of flu seasons pre-2020. Forcing anyone to mask, given the substantial and robust evidence base showing conclusively that masks don’t work, was an indefensible policy decision. But specifically forcing children to mask was decidedly much, much worse. And not just because it was a pointless exercise in pandemic theater, with zero evidence of efficacy. But because it was actively causing harm too, as a new study shows.” (10/01/24)
