A systematic review of 2,168 studies that looked into the adverse effects of wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic has found that the practice led to negative health consequences, including itching, headaches, and restriction of oxygen. “We found significant effects in both medical surgical and N95 masks, with a greater impact of the second,” said…
Mask Study Imploding Cochrane Collaboration in Latest Debacle
The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews has long been considered “the gold standard” in research. After publishing an updated review of a total of 78 trials evaluating the effectiveness of masks in preventing respiratory virus transmission, they’ve met up with fierce criticism. STORY AT-A-GLANCE A 2023 study published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews…
The Masking Debate Is Settled
Commentary What is the Cochran Library? “The Cochrane Library contains high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making. It includes reliable evidence from Cochrane and other systematic reviews, clinical trials, and more. Cochrane reviews bring you the combined results of the world’s best medical research studies, and are recognized as the gold standard in evidence-based health…
With Passenger Mask Mandate Gone, Flight Turbulence Stats Improve Markedly
The friendly skies too often resembled “season’s beatings” shopping brawls during the pandemic, as the number of arguments and even fistfights surged on–board. Viral videos of the flight-and-fight mayhem frequently had a common denominator—the federal government’s mask requirement. So it may come as little surprise that disruptions on commercial domestic flights have plummeted by 74 percent since the Biden administration’s…
Masks Were Unethical by Design
Commentary Many public health responses we saw during the pandemic were inherently unethical, but our flippancy concerning child safety in public schools has been among the most egregious. Sadly, families remain largely resourceless against power-hungry leadership. Masking remains an issue hotly debated at school board meetings around the globe. In Ontario, Canada, on Nov. 24,…
Why Your Mask Came From China
Commentary Starting in 2018, President Trump imposed tariffs on trade with China. It was an unusual approach by any postwar standard. Normally presidents past would impose tariffs on goods from any country in the name of protecting domestic industry, or perhaps target a single country on grounds of national security. This was different—targeting a single…
More Bad News for the Mask Cult
Commentary Unless you’re visiting a medical facility still taken in by the mask-cult or you live in a big city or some obscure California county run by hypochondriac Democrat whack-jobs, you’re probably generally living your life without being forced to wear a useless, bacteria-laden piece of t-shirt material over your face. However, if your overlords…
The Unmasking of America
Commentary The polls on coercive Covid responses were never entirely trustworthy, not even from the beginnings of lockdowns. This happens when everyone knows what they are supposed to believe and say. The polled don’t really trust the voice on the other end. After weeks of disease panic and media figures screaming that everyone should stay…
CDC Continuing Mask Mandates Reflects New Form of American Communism
Commentary The Center for Disease Control’s announcement it is extending the federal mask mandate for planes and trains until (at least) May 3 continues the use of the mask as the emblem of a relatively new form of what we might call American communism. No real proof exists that masks actually work to prevent the…
Lack of Evidence to Support Claims That Face Masks Stop Virus Transmission, Unsealed Expert Testimonies Say
A disciplinary hearing against a Calgary chiropractor who treated patients without wearing a mask has become a forum under oath to debate the efficacy of masking to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
