several months back, the danes undertook a large, randomized, controlled mask study

it has been completed for some time

the lead investigator says they will publish it "as soon as a journal is brave enough to accept the paper"

sounds like the results do not support mask use... https://twitter.com/AlexBerenson/status/1317875526997102594
given the fearsome government pressure on this topic & the intense slant in the journals, if this showed that masks worked, they'd have all the top publications fighting over it.

the results must be terrible. even no efficacy seems mild for this kind of response

was it "harm"?
because that would not be at all surprising, especially if they actually measured adverse events as well

this large, well run study showed that even fitted masks used by trained surgeons in operating theaters increased risk of post op infection. (by 34%) https://twitter.com/boriquagato/status/1286658667388063747?s=20
masks failed as source protection even used by highly trained professionals.

imagine what this would be like in a classroom of 3rd graders.

and that is the big issue with masks. you need real world data, not made up bench tests.

you need real, RCT's. https://twitter.com/boriquagato/status/1310595825865756673?s=20
doing some "sneeze distance" test in a lab means absolutely nothing of clinical significance. it's just fakery.

neither does running this sort of "sun dance" test without a control.

it's just an assumptive cherry pick. https://twitter.com/boriquagato/status/1288190966621405186?s=20
and this is what the "wear a mask" crowd has.

their "studies" are incredibly poor quality to the point of being meaningless. the FDA would laugh you out of their offices if you submitted that stuff in a device trial.

they try to use volume to make up for poor quality.
but one good study is worth more than a mountain of bad science.

that's how medical science works.

alas, political science involves making up nonsense data and waving it around vigorously.

don't fall for it.
demand studies that have real control groups, that have properly enrolled cohorts, and that measure actual clinical outcomes, not some lab metric like straight line droplet spread.

do so, and you'll be amazed at how all the pro-mask studies disappear.
the higher the quality of the study, the less it seems to support mask use on a population scale.

there was never science or data to support these policies and there was reams that contra-indicate it. https://twitter.com/boriquagato/status/1280990984176721920?s=20
we have now reached the point where journals are so captured that they have become organs of propaganda and where the scientists that did an important study are too scared to publish it.

think about that.

it's full blown fascist.
that's what happens when you're hooked on government grant money and live in the vicious cancel culture of academia.

only the "right" people are allowed to speak and everyone lives in terror of losing funds and position if they dare speak the truth. https://twitter.com/MLevitt_NP2013/status/1317781548901363712?s=20
is that really how you want your science to be?

once you let the government money in, this is always how the story ends.

he who pays the piper shall inevitably call the tune.
