    The whole problem is..............

     

    August 2021; YouTube suspended Senator Rand Paul over a three-minute video questioning the effectiveness of cloth masks, which several studies have shown are not effective in stopping the spread of viruses like the coronavirus. 

    January 2022; In a New York Times article the CDC revised its previous position on masks, saying that "loosely woven cloth products provide the least protection" and recommended surgical masks instead.

     

    .........................it really doesn't matter how truthful the information is, rather who says it.

    Washington post rates false Paul's claim that masks don't mitigate virus spread.  The studies that he relies on for support are inconclusive at best.  In fact, most peer reviewed research shows masks reduce covid cases.  During the pandemic, scientific evidences favoring masks have increased according to JAMA.  Although cloth masks are less effective, they are still protective for people around infected wearer.  If cloth masks are the only option, they are still better than nothing for healthcare workers.  Snopes found Paul's claim of being right oversimplifies the evolving nature of pandemic, disregards the irresponsible opposition to masks when fewer people are vaccinated and only now happen to match up with developing science.

    The Post is correct.  Paul's claims are flat out false.   Though there can be made an argument as to how effective certain types of masks are, sure.

    The Washington Post helped its parent company Amazon, and its founder lobby for unscientific lockdowns which crushed small businesses and made the company billions. People should understand just how profitable covid was for these people and why creating fear was so important.

    What information are you using to determine that cloth masks work and Rand Paul’s claims are “flat out false”? 

    According to the CDC there has only been one study on the effectiveness of cloth masks and the results weren’t good.

    This is the conclusion of the study: 

    “This study is the first RCT of cloth masks, and the results caution against the use of cloth masks. This is an important finding to inform occupational health and safety. Moisture retention, reuse of cloth masks and poor filtration may result in increased risk of infection. Further research is needed to inform the widespread use of cloth masks globally. However, as a precautionary measure, cloth masks should not be recommended for HCWs, particularly in high-risk situations, and guidelines need to be updated.”

    I’m sure the Democrats in this thread will provide substantial evidence showing that cloth masks work. They won’t. They never provide any evidence. They’re wrong on nearly every subject and usually have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about.

    Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo: Forcibly masking schoolchildren is "unnatural" and "without really any high-quality data showing any benefit and lots of data and parental intuition suggesting harm, and tremendous harm. You know, it's completely unnatural."

    Why are Democrats doubling down?

    It's hard for them to accept that they damaged your kids for nothing. It's hard for them to accept that they stole their prom, their first day of kindergarten, their little league championship and their chance of an athletic scholarship for nothing.

    So instead of waking up, saying "I was wrong" and trying to fix it, they're going to double down. Because acknowledging the damage they did is far too painful.

    Smartmatic Voting Firm Sues Mike Lindell,
    Alleging He Lied About Election To Sell Pillows

    Jan 20, 2022
    The Smartmatic voting machine company has filed a scathing
    defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump ally and MyPillow
    CEO Mike Lindell, alleging he concocted lies about a
    presidential election to sell his products.


    Lindell told Business Insider that he welcomed the suit
    because Smartmatic is “guilty” of vote manipulation and
    “they’re all going to prison.”
    (He also said earlier this month that he has the evidence
    to put at least 300 million Americans ? somehow linked
    to what he claims is a fraudulent election ? “in prison for life.”

    I guess good ole Mike wants to throw 95%+ of the country in prison, even those not eligible to vote, and Trump supporters? Every time the guy speaks he proves that he is not very bright. an_light

    Clearly he switched parties. What does that tell you? Get ready, the left is finally waking up to the all the BS the democrats have put them through. They can't keep the lie and misinformation going forever. Democrats are finally waking up to see the lies their own party has been spewing. Bidens approval rating dropping faster than the stock market.
