New findings reported Tuesday in a University of Louisville study challenge what has been the prevailing belief that mask mandates are necessary to slow the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus. The study notes that “80% of US states mandated masks during the COVID-19 pandemic” and while “mandates induced greater mask compliance, [they] did not predict lower growth rates when community spread was low (minima) or high (maxima).” Among other things, the study—conducted using data from the CDC covering multiple seasons—reports that “mask mandates and use are not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 spread among US states.” more

So now that they’ve caught up with the rest of the sane who have been saying this from the start, do we get to tar and feather anybody these clowns for forcing the masks on us? Asking for a friend…..
But the DID slow oxygen to the brain.
No shit, Sherlock.
…it was NEVER about a virus…
So, my immunology teacher was right after all!!!
When I went to HEB/grocery store yesterday I noticed the majority of the half still insisting on wearing masks had visible dirt and filth on them and they all look like they’ve been worn to death. Isn’t it just common sense not to cover your nose and mouth with a filthy rag?!
In other news the sun rose in the east, Trump won, there are 2 sexes, global warming is BS and Democrats suck. Carry on.
Yes, but i charged my customers for $5 for PPE on every commercial service call.
Sure, if you want to believe science.
Awesome! Another article to send to General Mills and the leftist Legislature (which made Breitbart yesterday). They are still making kids and college students wear masks while in school.
Yet the criminals STILL want to force young children to wear them!!
The problem was improper labeling. they should be called “Ass Masks”.
I had lunch with LeftCoastDan a couple of days ago. I told him the story of my doctor (I do like my doctor) saying that he had diagnosed 0 (as in zero) flu cases this year and he attributed to that being everyone wearing a mask. I did ask if he thought it was because all cases were being counted as the WuFlu, but he said no.
I am not a doctor, I do not play one on TV and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Exress last night, but, I have to question his diagnosis.

Perfect illustration of what we’re up against, but the narrative is cracking.
We live in the edge without reason and zero critical thinking skills because we have the media.
Age- auto screw up again.
Those moist from your breathing masks probably made a good magnet for trapping every germ you encountered though.
Leftist logic – mandate wearing masks which have no protection against viruses, that are constantly worn unwashed, collect enough bacteria to cause chronic shortness of breath and other respiratory /medical issues. The result of germ cultures getting into the lungs and blood stream.
All for the greater good. Yeah.. sure.
So please, Leftard Covid cultists keep wearing those worthless, virtue signaling masks and trusting the CCP “science”.
You know what’s best! *sarc*
