Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest... be in health...

4. Disposable surgical face masks for preventing surgical wound infection in clean surgery
“We included three trials, involving a total of 2106 participants.
There was no statistically significant difference in infection rates
between the masked and unmasked group in any of the trials”

Q: WHY does Fauci push Masking when both the Science and his own Emails show it doesn't work?
Q: WHY can't people just be HONEST?...We just want Honesty.
"So we have an odd situation developing...
The
layperson’s understanding of a vaccine is that it protects a person
against infection, like measles or smallpox. In other words, you won’t
get Covid, exactly as President Biden apparently inaccurately said in a press conference last week.
That is apparently untrue in this case. That realization seemed to dawn on people only a few weeks ago, as reports from Israel revealed that half the new infections listed were with people who had been fully vaccinated.
I
pity anyone who took a few weeks’ vacation from the news during this
period. We went from believing that the whole point of the vaccines was
to protect against infection to realizing that this was not the case.
You can still get the bug. The point of the vaccines, we were newly
told, is to protect against severe outcomes. Okay, that’s reasonable
enough except that we know the demographics of severe outcomes, and
hence the question presents itself: why is the policy priority
near-universal vaccination?
None of this makes sense – if you are still looking for policies to make sense, which you probably gave up on long ago.
Now to the great mask conundrum.
In
May, Anthony Fauci showed up to a Senate hearing fully vaccinated but
wearing a mask. Rand Paul lit into him, claiming that this was absurd.
Fauci, he said, was undermining confidence in the vaccines. We need to give people a reward for being vaccinated, he said. If you can’t even take off your mask, why bother? I suspect that the CDC listened carefully to his point.
Senator Paul might just be one guy but he is positioned to impact
policy because he has unusual access to the public, and to Fauci
himself. Fauci is otherwise only on friendly terms with media who listen and adore every pronouncement. Paul has access by virtue of Senate protocol and therefore can make a dent in what’s actually happening out there in CDC land.
The CDC had become very aware that vaccination rates had flattened. They
figured it was worth a try. So in early May, the agency did a messaging
turnaround. It announced that people who are vaccinated no longer need
to wear a mask. Fauci dutifully went on all the talk shows and invited
the vaccinated to enjoy their privileges. He even smiled when saying
so!
Well, how did vaccination rates respond? Far from incentivizing
people to get the jab, everyone took off their masks and dared
authorities to ask for their papers.
Now the CDC had a problem. The
great goal of a 70% rate among all people was elusive, and infuriating
the pandemic planners who demanded this based on the pharmaceutical
definition of herd immunity. They embraced that definition because, for
some reason that remains inexplicable for everyone not working for
vaccine manufacturers, natural immunity has been thoroughly dismissed as
primitive and irrelevant. Talk about ignoring the science!
Then on July 22, the influential Washington Post published the following:
So
the CDC needs to state, as it should have in May, that unless there is a
way to distinguish between the vaccinated and unvaccinated, indoor mask
requirements should be reinstated…. The Biden administration
has done many things right during the pandemic, but it made a grave
error with its premature return to normalcy. It must hit reset and issue
new guidance that addresses the escalating infections, waning interest
in vaccination and unknowns of the delta variant. If it doesn’t, we
could well be on our way to another national surge — and one that was
entirely foreseen and entirely preventable.
The
CDC seems more easily led by op-eds in political newspapers than actual
scientific papers on the topic, of which there are many thousands now.
They want digestible, clear instructions on what they should be doing.
This piece in the Washington Post provided exactly that. Thus did the
CDC reverse itself yet again.
But in
doing so, it needed some rationale. This is when the agency jumped on
the excuse of how the Delta variant often evades the vaccines, so
therefore even the vaccinated need masks. It’s not clear whether and to
what extent the CDC realizes that it has just once again undermined
public confidence in the vaccines!" ZeroHedge For God is not the author of confusion,... 1 Corinthians 14:33
