It seems some politicians and members of the media are attempting to foist one other Covid winter on America, the Globe reported November twenty eighth. “In California the pandemic by no means actually ended. California Gov. Gavin Newsom nonetheless clings to his autocratic emergency powers beneath his March 4, 2020 Covid State of Emergency order, so why not perpetrate one other disaster?”

Since then, day by day information articles from California media are clearly pushing for masks mandates on college children.

In Los Angeles County, LA County Public Well being Director Barbara Ferrer introduced that as a result of weekly Covid circumstances went up once more, “That is the time to place that masks again on,” the Globe reported. Ferrer and the media are once more counting “circumstances” reasonably than folks in poor health sufficient to be within the ICU or lifeless from Covid.

Counting “circumstances” doesn’t actually imply something.

The San Francisco Chronicle studies Friday, “Bay Space well being officers are encouraging them to place face coverings again on because the area will get hit with a triple risk of respiratory viruses — COVID-19, flu and RSV.”

The widespread thread is they’re ignoring the significance of herd immunity – i.e. most individuals have already had Covid. They’re additionally ignoring vital research exhibiting that masks carrying didn’t stop the unfold of Covid. Mandating masks made little distinction.

The Globe did an interview January 2022 with Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist, heart specialist and epidemiologist, and one in all America’s main physicians on the early remedy of COVID-19, wherein he defined:

“There have been over one dozen research of normal masking which have proven it’s mainly not efficient. I believe the one folks that want masks… I’m a heart specialist and I put on a masks with sufferers.”

“Dentists, dental hygienists – and we put on them within the working room. It’s to not stop the unfold of COVID, but it surely stops sneezes or coughs,” Dr. McCullough added. “However in normal masks don’t work.”

He famous that epidemiologic curves present even with masks worn for 2 years, we now have extra COVID now than we had earlier than.

“It’s apparent masks have failed. It’s a hopeless endeavor. Masks could be worn for different causes, however folks shouldn’t put on a masks to guard them from COVID. Folks have gotten COVID carrying masks,” he added.

A 2021 examine on the College of Louisville by lead creator Damian D. Guerra, an assistant professor of biology, and co-author Daniel J. Guerra, of VerEvMed, discovered state masks mandates not solely didn’t assist gradual COVID-19 transmission, it additionally discovered “qualitatively comparable programs of viral unfold” amongst states with early, late, and no masks mandates, Motive.com reported.

So states like California which locked down first within the nation and prolonged out masks mandates and faculty and enterprise lockdowns past all different states made little or no distinction – apart from to destroy two years of children’ training and kill off 50% of the state’s small companies.

Particularly, the examine stated, “Randomized management trials haven’t clearly demonstrated masks efficacy in opposition to respiratory viruses, and observational research battle on whether or not masks use predicts decrease an infection charges. Masks mandates and use will not be related to slower state-level COVID-19 unfold throughout COVID-19 development surges.”

Researchers at Johns Hopkins College additionally concluded that lockdowns did little to cut back COVID deaths however have had “devastating results” on economies and quite a few social ills, Well being Information Florida reported.

The examine, titled “A Literature Assessment and Meta-Evaluation of the Results of Lockdowns on COVID-19 Mortality,” stated lockdowns in Europe and the U.S. lowered COVID-19 deaths by 0.2 %.

Shelter-in-place orders had been additionally ineffective, lowering COVID-19 mortality by 2.9%, the examine stated.

“We discover no proof that lockdowns, college closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable impact on COVID-19 mortality,” the researchers wrote within the report, issued Monday.

The examine concluded that lockdowns “are ill-founded and needs to be rejected as a pandemic coverage instrument.”

“They’ve contributed to lowering financial exercise, elevating unemployment, lowering education, inflicting political unrest, contributing to home violence, and undermining liberal democracy,” the report stated.

The interior BS meter for a lot of through the Covid lockdowns was off the charts. It’s beginning to really feel that method once more.

Bear in mind, in July Los Angeles County Public Well being Director Barbara Ferrer tried to persuade everybody that Los Angeles County reached the “Excessive” stage of recent COVID-19 circumstances and County hospitalization charges, giving the County two weeks to fall again beneath or else necessary indoor masking mandates return, because the Globe reported.
