Not Masks Again

Written by Hugh McCarthy on January 10, 2023. Posted in Current News

There is a lot of talk about masks, so I thought I would post a brief synopsis of the evidence, though not all 170 scientific scientific reviews—in case you are contacting your MP/MLA

Masks never worked and government knows it. They also cause serious harms.

Government advisers advice re masks and Mr Hancock’s reiteration of it.

1 “It was deeply concerning to see schools “strongly encouraging” children to wear face coverings before the summer break. Despite early hopes, we now know from the real world data that mask mandates had no significant effect on interrupting the spread of coronavirus. Meanwhile, the damaging unintended harms of covering our faces are profound and still being felt. The use of masks is not, and has never been, a benign or recommended public health intervention “( signed by the Co Chairs of the APPG (All Party Group at Westminster on Pandemic Response and Recovery)

2 The UK Government’s own  Evidence Summary  on the use of face coverings in education settings found  they had NO statistically significant effect on transmission – the evidence showing they serve NO purpose in controlling the spread of Covid.

3 And according to Carl Heneghan  Professor of Evidence based Medicine at Oxford University, “There is no evidence that masks are protecting children and teachers in schools.” Which he repeated very recently on his Substack “Clinical Trials Show No Clear-Cut Effect of masks”

We also cited the co-author of Mr Hancock’s pandemic memoir, revealing that Johnson, Whitty and Hancock knew from the start that masks do not do the job, and yet they went ahead and coerced Britons to wear them.

The reality is different. Clinical trials in various settings – across vastly different ranges of circulation rates – from low influenza-like illness to pandemics have failed to show any effect. Which tallies with everyone’s personal experience of mask “protection”. So, why the sudden reintroduction?

5 Mandatory face coverings is the wrong policy, says Professor Carl Heneghan, Professor of Evidence based medicine at Oxford and a government advisor addressing the N.I Executive.

Face masks do not work to significantly reduce the spread of Covid, according to the evidence. Dr. Carl Heneghan, Professor of Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University, told the N.I. Executive on August 10th 2020 that mandatory face coverings was the wrong policy:

He believes the evidence used to impose the mandatory wearing of masks in public spaces is “poor quality”,

“By all means people can wear masks but they can’t say it’s an evidence based decision”

6   Prof Tom Jefferson (Honorary Senior Research Fellow, Oxford University)

“Aside from people who are exposed on the frontlines there is no evidence that masks make any difference”

7 -Face masks should not be worn by healthy individuals-there is no evidence to suggest they are effective in stopping such people from becoming ill. (American Medical Association)

8 And Jenny Haries Deputy Chief Scientific Officer of England puts it thus “masks could actually trap the virus and the wearer then starts to breathe it in  putting themselves at more risk”

9 The European Community Trial

European community trial of masks and the update of the Cochrane Review that found no significant effect for facemask wearers.

“Many governments have made nose and mouth covering or face masks compulsory for schoolchildren. The evidence base for this is weak”.

I urge you to read/watch these—these articles include the harms of masks.

You might also watch/listen to Stephen Petty-an international mask expert

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons concludes: “Wearing masks  will not be effective at preventing transmission, whether worn as source control or as PPE. And according to Carl Heneghan  again “There is no evidence that masks are protecting children and teachers in schools.” Which he repeated very recently on his Substack “Clinical Trials Show No Clear-Cut Effect of masks”

Masks remain at the centre of the fear agenda and their continued use ignores their ineffectiveness and the harm they are doing.
