So a Republican governor commissions study to *prove* that masking doesn't prevent Covid-19. Study proves masking saves lives by reducing frequency and severity of infection. Guess what happens next? Missouri hid own Covid study after it found mask mandates saved lives https://boingboing.net/2021/12/02/m...after-it-found-mask-mandates-saved-lives.html Mask mandates saved lives, according to a study conducted by Missouri's health department. This was not the outcome that governor Mike Parson wanted, so the study was buried. The Missouri Independent forced them to reveal it with a Freedom of Information Act filing. The study compared infection and death rates in St. Louis, St. Louis County, Kansas City and Jackson County with the rest of the state. New state health Director Donald Kauerauf wrote in an email that the study's findings showed the effectiveness of mask mandates and forwarded it to Parson's office. The analysis wasn't included in material the department prepared for cabinet meetings, the emails show. Neither the health department nor Parson's office responded to requests for comment asking why the data has not been shared publicly. … "I think we can say with great confidence reviewing the public health literature and then looking at the results in your study that communities where masks were required had a lower positivity rate per 100,000 and experienced lower death rates," Kauerauf wrote… Parson has spoken out repeatedly against local mask mandates, calling them "WRONG" in a tweet and a contributor to the erosion of public trust. Attorney General Eric Schmitt has gone a step further, suing St. Louis, St. Louis County, Kansas City and Jackson County to block enforcement of their mask mandates. Tags: COVIDMASKS MASKMANDATES
#LockThemUp Seriously at what point does this culture war BS become negligent homicide? Oh wait, Rittenhouse
The science paradigm is dead for many because it is not delivering to their psycho-social needs. They don't care about "its" facts, they care about a story and their solidarity and their safety within. For these people the individual and the frontal lobes are no longer necessary, indeed, they are an obstacle and source of fear.
Lets also mandate masks forever for Flu as well every winter while we are at it. Flu kills can kill 60,000 people a year. Masks will save lives. Also lets mandate condom use for everyone, make it law, to prevent deaths from STDs.
The Case Fatality Rate for Covid is above 2%. The Case Fatality Rate for the seasonal flu is below 0.1% (even in a bad season). Whatever.
Just build a big Jesus statue in the Nevada desert to gather all the Whiteys. Detonate a small nuclear device and give these people what they really want, death. Why do you think these people resist the vaccine, overdose on opioids, o'd on meth, etc...? Deep down they don't want to live anymore. It's not like the world will miss them and whatever usefulness these people had ended a long time ago.
