I was at Mission BBQ today for lunch and I see these two older women get up, put masks on to walk out 10 feet to the parking lot.

This mask thing has become a mental disorder for a lot of people.

Those guys are awesome.

Even a Marine can understand the "science".

When medical doctors and registered nurses push this idiocy it boggles my mind.

The whole "better than nothing" argument is completely bogus and anyone making it is an absolute idiot.

"Cough, cough, arrrgggghhhh, SCIENCE!, cough, cough!!!"

This nails the Branch Covidians to a tee....

The Marine running out of the tent after the el-cheapo mask test reminded me of when, in Basic Training, we had to undergo gas attack training.

They had us in a small building, no larger than a shed, where they were "cooking" CS over a gas burner. We were lined up in a column of twos. (And God help the guys who didn't follow the mask-donning protocol properly to ensure a good seal!) As each pair arrived in front, and upon a DI's command, we both had to remove our masks and visibly inhale a lung full before either of us would be allowed to walk out.

Ho-ly crap!

Some guys did not handle it well. As soon as they exited the building they started running for the tree line, whereupon some of them, I swear to God, ran head first into trees and others crashed and fell in the underbrush.

Just like the DI's told us would happen if we did that

Whoops! How embarrassing!

Perhaps.

I'm neither arguing for the experimental "vaccines" (nor their efficacy or safety) or against Ivermectin, but, sadly, the results of this study are statistically insignificant. See: P-value

N.B.: Dr. Kory, mentioned in the cited article, disagrees:

quote:

The reason why I say the standard p value of .05 is often debated is that many scientists and physicians like myself feel strongly that lower p values should be required only when the drug is either high risk, high cost, novel or other data are few. Further, many of us also recognize that over-relying on p values leads to critical signals of efficacy being ignored, especially when event rates are low.

Ref: The Disinformation Campaign Against Ivermectin - JAMA's "Diversion"

He's welcome to his view. I'm not even going to try to debate it. But, among statisticians, a P-value of less than 0.05 is commonly accepted as the maximum for establishing statistical significance.

The Covid Cartel Lied, People Died. Now They Say It’s All Your Fault

https://thefederalist.com/2022...-its-all-your-fault/

Americans were manipulated and turned against each other to hide government mismanagement, while many died unnecessary deaths.

In July 2021, President Biden, members of his administration, and the rest of the Covid cartel – federal health agencies, Big Pharma, legacy media, and Big Tech – began blaming the unvaccinated for the prolonged pandemic and calling it a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”

On July 16, 2021, Salvador Rizzo, writing as the Washington Post’s fact-checker, and therefore an esteemed member of the Covid cartel, awarded Johnson four Pinocchios for stating what was objectively true: the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) had already reported “over 5,200 deaths” on their “early warning system.”

On August 3, 2021, Israel’s Health Ministry reported smashing a five-month record of new cases, the vast majority in the fully vaccinated population. On Sept. 1, the New England Journal of Medicine published a letter reporting that Covid vaccine protection among 19,000 health care workers in San Diego went from 94-plus percent March through June to 66 percent in July.

The timing of scapegoating the unvaccinated for the ongoing pandemic was no coincidence. For anyone paying attention and not blinded by the siren song of Fauci, it was becoming apparent that the vaccines were not as safe or effective as we all hoped and prayed they would be. Because the Covid cartel was so vested in vaccines as the only solution to the coronavirus, evidence that their strategy was failing required a response.

Covid Cartel Blamed the Unvaxxed to Distract from Their Own Lies
Unfortunately, they simply could not afford to respond honestly. They had put all their eggs in the vaccine basket, sabotaged early treatment, and now a new surge in Covid cases and deaths was on the horizon.

The fall 2020 surge had peaked in January 2021, with the number of cases and deaths falling rapidly over the next 5 months. By June 2021, there had been approximately 120 million Covid infections in America, and strong evidence of the durability of natural immunity following Covid infection was growing. The percentage of fully vaccinated Americans was steadily increasing, and the logical expectation was that herd immunity was being achieved and the end of the pandemic should mercifully be in sight.

But it wasn’t, and the Covid cartel needed someone to blame: the unvaccinated. Because they had done everything they could to block early treatment, they had no therapeutics to offer the newly infected. Unlike Mexico, India’s Uttar Pradesh, and many other “less developed” nations, they couldn’t suddenly embrace the widely available, safe generic drugs they had spent the last year trashing and suppressing. The body count was simply too high for them to admit they were wrong about the life-saving potential of these drugs. So instead of fessing up to their tragic mismanagement, they allowed more people to needlessly die.

Second Opinions Are ‘Misinfo’ and ‘Terrorism’ Unless They’re Biden’s
In October 2021, President Biden said health-care workers who are vaccinated “cannot spread” Covid “to you.” This was blatantly false. The CDC had already been forced to admit in August 2021 that “fully vaccinated people with delta variant breakthrough infections can spread the virus to others.” Yet the narrative that vaccines would be a cure-all was used to justify the pointless vaccine mandates that have been so corrosive, divisive, and destructive to our society.

The American people were manipulated and turned against each other to hide government mismanagement, while many died unnecessary deaths due to suppression of early treatment options. Countless workers had to choose between losing their jobs or being coerced into accepting a medical treatment – Covid vaccination – they preferred to refuse. Businesses were disrupted, closed, and harmed, and the fabric of American society was deeply scarred.

To add insult to injury, on Feb. 7, 2022, the National Terrorism Advisory System issued a bulletin summarizing a new terrorism threat to the U.S. homeland which included “false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM).” According to Biden’s Department of Homeland Security, the justification for this statement includes “widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding … COVID-19.” So those with a second opinion on the pandemic are now suspected terrorists?

This affront to the Constitution’s first amendment cites no specific examples. Would President Biden’s July 21, 2021 misinformation that “you’re not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations” be considered a terrorist threat? It most certainly is a false and misleading narrative. To this day, the Covid cartel continues to promote widespread fear, refuses to recognize natural immunity, and is pushing vaccines on children who have little risk of serious harm from Covid.

A time of reflection and reckoning is coming, as the Canadian trucker strike proves. The Biden administration and the rest of the Covid cartel must stop dividing America and abusing its awesome powers. The path forward should be obvious. Respect the public by being honest and transparent with it. And stop infringing our God-given freedom and personal health autonomy.

Oh thank you my masters

But this means finally at work I can ditch the goddam face diaper as my employer only follows the CDC as if they were Gospel:

CDC relaxes indoor mask guidelines as COVID cases in US drop

Yeah, the polling numbers look bad for the mid-terms.

Finally, the ultimate answer about masks. This guy has the real answer. Take a few minutes to be enlightened.

DNA found in coronavirus was patented by Moderna 3 years before the pandemic

Researchers say 'there is a one-in-three-trillion chance Moderna's sequence randomly appeared through natural evolution.'

https://www.lifesitenews.com/n...before-the-pandemic/

Giving additional credence to the “lab leak” theory, a chunk of DNA found in the coronavirus shares an identical genetic sequence to a sequence patented by Moderna three years prior to the “pandemic.”

In an interview with FOX News host Maria Bartiromo, Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel admitted to the possibility that the coronavirus pandemic started after gene modification experiments led to the infection of lab workers. The statements came after Bartiromo asked him to comment on how it is possible that researchers discovered that coronavirus contains DNA with an identical genetic sequence to patents filed by Moderna three years before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Now scientists find the virus contains a tiny chunk of DNA that matches sequence[s] patented by Moderna three years before the pandemic began,” said Bartiromo. “Your reaction Stephane, what can you tell us?”

“My scientists are looking into those data to see how accurate they are or not,” replied Bancel.

“As I’ve said before, the hypothesis that this came from a lab by accident is possible… human[s] make mistakes. It is possible that the Wuhan lab in China was working on virus enhancement, or gene modification, and then there was an accident where somebody was infected… it is possible.”

Regarding whether Moderna is indeed the patent holder to a DNA sequence found in the coronavirus, “the scientists are analyzing [the data] to know if it is real or not,” added the CEO.

According to an analysis of the data by the Daily Mail, the patented sequence appears in the “furin cleavage site located on the virus’ spike protein,” an area of particular interest to scientists as no other known member of the coronavirus family has such a site, and these mechanisms are responsible for the virus’s heightened transmissibility.

Moderna’s patent, filed in February 2016, is part of a gene called MSH3 “that is known to affect how damaged cells repair themselves,” the U.K. outlet noted. According to the filing, the company was deploying the patented sequence for cancer research.

“The international team of researchers suggest the virus may have mutated to have a furin cleavage site during experiments on human cells in a lab,” reported the Daily Mail. “They claim there is a one-in-three-trillion chance Moderna’s sequence randomly appeared through natural evolution.”

The genesis of the coronavirus pandemic has been a hotly contested issue for two years, with initial inquiries into a possible lab leak or intentional manufacturing of the virus being labeled “misinformation” and a “conspiracy theory.”

While independent media outlets, including LifeSiteNews, consistently held the possibility that the coronavirus pandemic initiated from a lab, it was not until mid-2021 that mainstream media outlets began to acknowledge it as a possibility.

According to emails between American and British scientists, top researchers privately acknowledged it was “likely” that COVID-19 escaped from a laboratory but feared publicly admitting as much would undermine “science and international harmony.”

Just last month, The Telegraph reported that Sir Jeremy Farrar, director of the London-based Wellcome Trust, emailed National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director Dr. Anthony Fauci and then-National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins on February 2, 2020 to posit rapid evolution in a low-security lab, “accidentally creat[ing] a virus primed for rapid transmission between humans,” as a “likely explanation” for COVID’s origin.

“I share your view that a swift convening of experts in a confidence-inspiring framework is needed or the voices of conspiracy will quickly dominate, doing great potential harm to science and international harmony,” Collins replied.

The discovery of cover-ups, both surrounding the origin of the coronavirus, as well as the nature of the COVID shots, has led to widespread skepticism surrounding normally trusted institutions and industries.

After Moderna and Pfizer mRNA injections had been marketed as “vaccines” for over a year, a Bayer pharmaceutical executive admitted to the public that they are indeed a form of “gene” and “cell therapy” marketed as vaccines to make the shots more palatable to the public.

“We are really taking that leap [to drive innovation] – us as a company, Bayer – in cell and gene therapies … ultimately the mRNA vaccines are an example for that cell and gene therapy. I always like to say: if we had surveyed two years ago in the public – ‘would you be willing to take a gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body?’ – we probably would have had a 95% refusal rate,” stated Bayer Executive Stefan Oelrich.

“Our successes over these 18 months [the duration of the COVID ‘pandemic’] should embolden us to fully focus much more closely on access, innovation and collaboration to unleash health for all, especially as we enter, on top of everything else that is happening, a new era of science… the Bio Revolution.”

And very soon, at least four more states will be rolling out access to SMART Health Cards. “We've seen a notable uptick in states that have officially launched public portals where individuals can get verifiable vaccination credentials in the form of SMART Health Cards with a QR code,” says Brian Anderson, co-founder of the VCI and chief digital health physician at MITRE. ””

Iceland is one of the most vaccinated places on earth:

The Collapsing Covid Narrative is Being Replaced with Putin and Ukraine
By Vasko Kohlmayer

Game-changing news has emerged out of Iceland.

As of this week, Iceland is the first country in the world to completely drop ALL Covid measures. There will be no lockdowns or social restrictions. There will be no mandatory Covid testing and if you happen to catch Covid you do not have to isolate. There will be no vaccine passports and no vaccine mandates. Anyone regardless of their vaccination status can travel to the country with no test required. The unvaccinated will not face any form of discrimination or exclusion from society.

Iceland is returning to going back to life as it was before Covid.

This by itself would be astounding enough given that Iceland is in the midst of a massive Covid surge and posting record cases even as we speak.

If you did not know, the vaccination rate in Iceland is some 80% of the total population which means that around 90% of the adult population is fully vaccinated.

Obviously, the vaccines have done absolutely nothing to stop or even slow down the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Quite on the contrary, they seem to have led to its increase.

Not only has the government of Iceland decided to drop all Covid restrictions and vaccine requirements, but the Ministry of Health issued remarkable new guidelines on how to deal with the virus. The country’s health authorities have advised the Icelanders that “as many people as possible need to be infected with the virus as the vaccines are not enough.”

Do you hear this?

Iceland’s government now tells its people that it is good to contract Covid. In other words, Iceland’s government has decided to handle Covid through herd immunity derived from natural infection.

This marks the complete negation of the official Covid narrative which was accepted as the conventional wisdom by nearly every government for the last two years.

The narrative ran something this: People should try to avoid getting infected at all costs and instead wait until they can get injected with the hastily concocted experimental vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna and such.

Now, however, governments are increasingly encouraging their citizens to forget about the vaccines and instead go out and take on the virus with their own immune system.

What in the world?

They are saying this after two years of heavy-handed lockdowns, restriction and closures that have caused untold economic, social and psychological damage.

They have changed their mind after having conducted a global vaccination crusade that saw more then 60 percent of the Earth’s population injected with inadequately tested vaccines that have proved to be less than effective and that have needlessly killed what could be millions of people worldwide.

This is undoubtedly one of the greatest debacles in the annals of man.

There were scientists who advocated herd immunity through natural infection at the outset. Those voices, however, were ridiculed, censored, discredited, fired and cancelled.

Instead, one after another, governments across the world seized the false narrative and proceeded to impose a cascade of disastrous measures that inflicted unprecedented damage on the human race.

In the weeks ahead they will try to excuse themselves by claiming that the virus has changed and that it is less dangerous now that it was at the outset. This is true to some degree. The fact, however, remains that the virus never posed a great danger to most people. Its survival rate for non-confined individuals was some 99.7 percent. It posed virtually no threat to healthy children. It posed only relatively low risk to active healthy people of productive age. Certainly, the threat was not sufficient to justify wide scale school and business closures and other onerous measures.

Nor did it justify indiscriminate mass vaccination of children and healthy people with the dangerous and deficient vaccines.

These policies were a gargantuan mistake that cost untold trillions of dollars and countless lives.

Now that the false narrative is collapsing, those responsible for this debacle should be asked to explain themselves. These people, however, are very cunning and they are already in the process of skilfully diverting the public’s attention to another place with a new narrative.

Today they are all talking about Vladimir Putin...

CDC relaxes indoor mask guidelines as COVID cases in US drop

But no change on airplanes:

https://thepointsguy.com/news/...-air-travel-mandate/

The CDC just relaxed mask guidance — but they’re still required on airplanes, for now

David Slotnick
Yesterday

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention relaxed its mask-wearing guidelines on Friday, allowing most Americans to forgo masking while indoors in public.

The new guidance introduces an updated framework for how local officials can assess the risk of the virus when setting community guidelines or restrictions. Rather than focusing solely on case counts as the metric for determining masking recommendations, the CDC now advises localities to focus on three measures: new coronavirus-related hospitalizations, the percentage of hospital beds filled by COVID-19 patients and the rate of new cases per 100,000 people.

Those with symptoms or confirmed cases are still advised to wear masks regardless of local rules.

While the new federal guidelines are effective immediately, it remains largely up to local authorities to determine when to impose or lift mask mandates.

But know that masks will continue to be required, at least in the immediate future, on airplanes and at airports.

The guidelines do not affect the federal mask mandate that applies to public forms of transportation and transit hubs, including in airports and aboard aircraft. That mandate is dictated by the TSA.

The mask mandate is slated to lift on March 18 unless it is renewed before then.

It was not immediately clear whether the mandate would be renewed or if it would be allowed to expire.

This isn’t the first time the CDC has relaxed mask guidance while the TSA has left the mask mandate in place. In May of 2021, as the vaccination rate climbed and case counts dropped, the CDC said that unmasking indoors was safe for vaccinated people while the air travel mask mandate was left in place. The mandate was eventually extended — and the CDC tightened its guidance again — when the delta variant emerged.

A surge in disruptive and violent passenger incidents aboard flights, some of which began with disputes over the mask mandate, has led to fines and criminal prosecutions, along with discussions of a new federal “no-fly list” for unruly passengers.

As of Feb. 22, there have been 607 reports of unruly passengers in 2022, of which 397 incidents were related to the mask mandate, according to the FAA. The agency has opened 144 investigations and 80 enforcement cases.

While the overall number of incidents has been low — just 13 incidents per 10,000 flights at the height of the problem in mid-January to February of 2021 — about 85% of flight attendants in a recent survey said they had encountered disruptive passenger behavior on flights in 2021, and nearly 1 in 5 said they had either witnessed or been subject to violence.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But we always follow the science!
