    I like my SCIENCE straight. I don't need to put some coca cola in it and then pretend I'm a PMS suburban housewife or rapper. Telling people that masks worked just had people at risk think they were somehow protected. Fauci and Cuomo killed.

    Buried somewhere here in my Pandemtifada shitpoasting is a link to a meta-study posted at CDC (I can't remember if it was a CDC sponsored study) on non-pharmaceutical interventions for influenza. It was written in February 2020 and published in April 2020. Anyhow, that found masks to be at best barest marginally effective against flu (BUT IT'S NOT TEH FLU¡¡¡1).

    Here's the thing. I could accept the masking bullshit with a wink & nod as security theater. The big picture costs are next to nothing. I could accept it if the exchange was go about your business with a mask. But that's not what happened.

    Agree masks were the least of the issues

    And like a good sheep I wore one every week to grocery shop.

    Rand Paul real doctor without an agenda other than patient care. Fauci is less of a doctor than I am and 100% incompetent political bureaucrat. Glad to see his reputation is going to go the way of the dodo.

    Masks could have been a great propaganda victory. Wear one in X number of places and go about your lives. Go to school. Go to work.

    Instead it was largely a stick with no carrot.

    Like being vaccinated, the mask was a stick without a carrot. But vaccinations work. The mask doesn't. I just want the science and I don't want to be a propaganda prop.

    If COVID lockdowns proved ONE thing, it’s this: there will be no political earthquake. Don’t get me wrong, plenty of pissing and moaning on social media will happen but little else.

    It got Cho Bai Den "elected" as states went to vote by mail fraud without ID or signature matching.

    Mariners are moving to full capacity.

    Sort of. 30,000 available. 24,000 to vaccinated folks. They get the good seats. The 6,000 unvaccinated Trumptards have areas, or pods, available to sit in with the rest of the science denying neanderthals.
