Masking: Proof of Bias and Why Science Was Compromised
Everyone by now knows what the Cochrane review says about masking. It doesn’t work. I wish it did. Now let’s go behind the scenes during COVID-19 and see what happens when science is compromised and biased. This retrospective of all the studies in the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report), which highly influenced US Policy, during the time showed;
- 77 studies were looked at and >75% drew positive conclusions about mask effectiveness. (Wow, that seems great.) However…
- Only 30% even tested masks! (WTF?)
- Less than 15% had statistically significant results. (Ummm…how can that be?)
- No studies were randomized yet over half drew causal conclusions. ( pathetic.)
- The conclusions were unsupported by data! (And there you have it.)
The authors concluded that they are concerned about the reliability of their own journal for informing health policy. Their own journal!!!!!!
This is a bombshell. The fix was in. They just lied or said whatever they wanted to in order to control and change the behavior of the public. Science because a mirror image of politics.
They are doing the same thing with the CV vaccine.
And this all makes me sad.
Here’s an interesting commentary on the Cochrane review:

Sad……….so f*c!ing sad……..
It’s not often I’m embarrassed to be be a physician, but when $h!t like this comes out…….
Even this author doesn’t dare say the “L” word. Organizations and the media followed the script they were given and delivered “fake news”. Thank heavens Trump coined that phrase, since we are apparently now forbidden to call this behavior LIES.
Damn right, Doug! This is why our profession SHOULD have been vocal from day one in its skepticism, as with other topics, instead of first encouraging mass panic, and later doubling down by siding with the emotional authoritarians. If medicine is ever to claw back any credibility, it must first admit its role in this, and publicly, transparently sell honesty as its first, most vital prescription.
