Industrial Hygienist Stephen Petty has decades of experience protecting people from hazards, so when he tells you masks can’t stop a virus, that’s an expert scientific fact. And still, some do not believe.
Now they tell us: Not only do cloth masks not work (obviously), neither do surgical masks! Some of us already knew this but now the “experts” are admitting it as well. Plus, Max has an announcement at the end of the show.
Politicians are using government force to make you wear masks. Not everywhere, but there is pressure applied from all corners of the culture at the prompting of the State. A practice based on a false-assumption.
It’s hump-day plus one or Friday minus one and what better way to start your Thursday morning, or any morning, than with a short entertaining video about the ineffectiveness of cloth masks.
Remember this headline from a while ago? “BAZINGA! We’ve Made The Big Leagues! GraniteGrok Has Been Flagged By The Southern Poverty Law Center.” In their role as the mouthpiece for the Left (e.g., anything that isn’t Leftist is a HATE GROUP), they labeled The ‘Grok as “Anti-Government.”
Medical facemasks can’t stop a virus. Even Tony Fauci knew that before May of 2020—research before and after has confirmed it. Just ask the manufacturers. Masks also present some risk of harm, including, based on new peer-reviewed, journal-accepted research, increasing the odds of a COVID-19 infection.
The great H.L. Mencken reportedly said, “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.” While it’s hard to believe he didn’t have the Biden family finances in mind, it still serves as an apt warning for another round of handwringing over the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
There is no evidence that masks work at preventing the spread of COVID. It does not matter if it is cloth or paper. No one can give you definitive proof that a mask covering your nose and mouth will insulate you from the COVID-19 virus, but put it on.
Several of the various COVID-response totems have taken a turn tumbling off the dais with the blessing of the ruling class mouthpiece media. Few apologies, but several new narratives are looking to soften the memory.
Steve Kirsch has been a pitbull when it comes to challenging the public health industrial complex challenging them, rubbing research in their face, and offering huge sums as bets to debate him on a series of topics.
Your local experience may vary on this point. My Eye Doc, for example, is still high on masking, but the CDC has announced that it no longer recommends universal masking of Health Care Workers.
This Tuesday, I had the pleasure of meeting many of you at the polls in the primary election. Thanks to you, I will be on the ballot in November and hope to have the pleasure of representing you in Concord for the next two years.
The CDC changed its mask mandate guidance a few days before a letter to Biden from his Pollster became public. The letter said that mandates were bad for Dems re-election chances and how to spin the abrupt change in tactics.
The COVID Cultists are forever insisting they have the science on their side. To prove it, they recycle a handful of reports that suggest masks might work or that distancing wasn’t the invention of a 14-year-old and has no basis in science. Lockdowns quarantines, all fails, but the worst is The Jab™.
Hudson town moderator Paul Inderbitzen recently showered the Granite State in glory. At a school board meeting to vote on a move to repeal the school mask-mandate policy, unmasked parents were told to segregate.
When fear and intimidation are not enough, apply snarky labels to people to make everyone uncomfortable. You can go in heavy with terms like COVID denier or Anti-Vaxxer or lean into something less derogatory like vaccine-hesitant.
Plymouth State University sent out an email informing students and faculty of their COVID19 guidelines and requirements for the new semester*. Along with the usual garbage was a mask mandate notice requiring everyone to wear N95 respirators.
It’s always nice to hop in the Wayback Machine and revisit the science before it was political science. Get some perspective. Take masking. Back in May of 2020, the CDC’s EID Journal reported that 14 controlled studies demonstrated that face masks “did not support a substantial effect on transmission.”
This is developing into an ongoing series of posts based on a handout I created and which was given around at the Merrimack School Board meeting on September 20. In this post, I intend to focus on masks for school children. At the end are two earlier op-eds from Granite Grok wherein I went after … Read more
The Science™. Yes, the Left’s “lean” on the phrase has earned the official mockery of a trademark. Why? Joe “The Jab™” Biden needs us all to get vaccinated. C’mon, man, you’re killing people unless you are a postal worker—no Mandated Jab for you.
