Time to End COVID Lockdowns and Mask Mandates

Draconian lockdowns invoked by governmental fiat with little basis in science are nonsensical and unconstitutional. I live in Washington state and I have a mustache. I went to my barbershop when they were first allowed to open on a limited basis and got a haircut and mustache trim. Last week, they were able to cut my hair but not my mustache.
We the people, should not blindly follow these mandates and surrender our civil rights without question.
State public health agencies during outbreaks of epidemics do have limited police powers to isolate or quarantine people who are sick or are coming from foreign areas that have highly infectious and deadly diseases. The federal government has the same power for people entering the US and traveling between states. These diseases were smallpox, typhoid, cholera, and the plague with high death rates. It was routine to quarantine sailing ships coming into port and to isolate those who were sick in the community. In some cases people who refused to comply were involuntary isolated, like Typhoid Mary.
Our public health quarantine laws are antiquated and require updating. Notwithstanding their antiquity, one thing is obvious; there is a right of due process and equal protection.
. . . under the Constitution, individuals have rights in quarantine and isolation conditions. Under the 5th and 14th Amendment’s rights of Due Process and Equal Protection, public health regulations used to impose such conditions can’t be “arbitrary, oppressive and unreasonable.”
The initial lockdown’s stated purpose was to keep hospital ICUs from being overwhelmed until the new virus’s nature, and risks were better understood. These lockdowns were to be short-term. But some states have extended the lockdowns for months based on criteria that are arbitrary, oppressive, and unreasonable. A good case can be made these actions under the guise of public health are actually political in nature to affect the 2020 Presidential Election.
We were told the lockdowns and the wearing of masks by everyone would protect those most at risk by COVID-19. But over time, the condition placed on lifting these measures morphed into somehow eradicating the virus. This lie was spread by the radical left and a complicit media by disinformation, hysteria, and evoking fear. On the advice of unelected “governmental experts,” who waffled over time, governments implemented these measures with the force of law and regulatory action, i.e., yanking business and professional licenses of those who did not comply. These measures are arbitrary, capricious, oppressive, not equally applied, and have little basis in science — church services were prohibited, and the police arrested some who attended. Yet, public protests, rioting, and arson of public and private property were tolerated.
The so-called “flattening of the curve” has nothing to do with actually eradicating the virus. No amount of testing, on and off again lockdowns, and/or mask-wearing will do that. These measures will only delay the spread of the virus until there are effective vaccines for COVID-19, antivirals, better treatment protocols, and or until herd immunity is reached in a given population. Until then, under the long tail of the flattened curve, the same number of people will be infected.
Focusing on positive tests as a criterion for releasing these restrictions is purely subjective. The horses are already out of the barn.

This graph is one of many graphs created and updated by Dr. Douglas G. Frank. It clearly shows COVID-19 in Washington is on the wane. Dr. Frank has commented extensively on the fallacy of relying on the number of positive cases as the basis of setting public policy.
Requiring masks as a matter of public policy is also fallacious. Except for N95 masks in negative pressure hospital rooms with other PPE that are immediately disposed of after each entry into the room, requiring the use of masks is spurious at best. See the extensive debate thread on the use of masks on Dr. Franks’ Facebook page [Note: Click label icon “masks”]. See Dr. Franks’ bio here.

What are the public policy ramifications of the governmental actions and responses to COVID-19?
Many states’ current actions are driven by fear of the unknown, not based on objective scientific research. Further, the COVID-19 emergency was weaponized for political agendas
From a relative risk analysis, the “cure” has been worse than the virus itself. The risk of dying in any one year from COVID-19 is relatively small compared to the cures’ impact on the US population. See this article in the NY Times, “Putting the Risk of COVID-19 in Perspective:”
The CDC’s data on COVID Survival Rate by age group:
0-19 years 99.997%
20-49 years 99.98%
50-69 years 99.5%
70+ years 94.6%
The US economy tanked. The airline and tourist-related industries were severely affected, as was the manufacturing sector. Restaurants, bars, and small businesses were closed, and many have since gone under. Schools were closed. We have loosed the “Karens” on the population who do not conform, arrested people (here and here) for noncompliance with governmental fiats.
We have induced undue stress on the population in general with little benefit. The Seattle Times: “As we near 6 months in Washington’s stay-home order, mental health experts warn that things may get worse.”
A more prudent way forward is to acknowledge the real risks of COVID-19 in terms that people can understand, educate the people, let the people decide what level of risk is acceptable to them, and what mitigations they are willing to do.
Life is not risk-free. Every day, we take prudent risks, i.e., leaving the house, walking down the street, going to work, driving a car, flying in a plane, seeing a doctor, having surgery, and many other everyday activities. Nanny state mandated intervention has many unintended consequences that result in the cure being worse than the virus’s impact on society.

Trump being treated with Remdesivir… reported to be doing well
Trump tweets from hospital bed that he is doing ok.
By John Solomon
President Trump began treatment Friday night with the new coronavirus treatment Remdesivir, and his doctor reported he was doing well in the hospital after his diagnosis for COVID-19.
Dr. Sean P. Conley, the White House physician (pictured left), said the president has not required any assistance breathing.
“This evening I am happy to report that the President is doing very well. He is not requiring any supplemental oxygen, but in consultation with specialists we have elected to initiate Remdesivir therapy. He has completed his first dose and is resting comfortably,” Conley said in a statement.
Shortly before midnight, Trump tweeted from his hospital bed that he was feeling OK and thanked his well wishers.
“Going well, I think!,” Trump tweeted. “Thank you to all. LOVE!!!”

Microchips, Nanotechnology and Implanted Biosensors: The New Normal?
By: Pam Long
U.S. military personnel will be the first subjects in nanotechnology trials in the pursuit of optimizing health and early detection of disease outbreaks. Profusa has research contracts for bio-integrated sensors with the U.S. Department of Defense and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), pending U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in early 2021.
Health technology undermines freedom and privacy
Profusa’s promotional video shows how the bio-integrated sensor enables a soldier to be tracked by remote computers using GPS in addition to monitoring real-time biomarkers, such as oxygen levels and heart rate.

While this biotechnology is portrayed as potentially lifesaving to a soldier on the battlefield, the implications of GPS tracking individuals is a terrifying step towards a surveillance state in the general population. Furthermore, tracking people in stages of sickness can only result in medical tyranny in the hands of any government. The Profusa influenza study requires patients to wear the wearable version of the reader 24 hours a day, with continuous biomarker information collection into a database, and aims to detect four stages of infection: healthy, infected, asymptomatic and recovery stage. These unreliable detection stages could become the criteria for different levels of individual participation in society as experienced in the unsustainable COVID-19 state-level lockdowns for the masses.
Can it be reversed? Can it be refused?
This Profusa nanotechnology has three components: an inserted sensor called hydrogel, a light-emitting fluorescent sensor reader on the surface of the skin and an electronic software component that transmits to an online database. The SARS-CoV-2 vaccine plans to incorporate this technology and there is no information on how the technology could be removed, if at all. “Tiny biosensors that become one with the body” could imply a lifetime commitment.
The nanotechnology research at DARPA is very controversial and aims to create “super soldiers” with artificial intelligence that gives enhanced capabilities to humans such as heightened senses, tenfold vision and extraordinary strength. According to a statement from DARPA, the program, known as the Neural Engineering System Design, “aims to develop an implantable neural interface able to provide advanced signal resolution and data-transfer bandwidth between the brain and electronics.” Would these “super powers” and any side effects be permanent or life-limiting? The webpage of DARPA’s program notes that “the most effective, state-of-the-art neural interfaces require surgery to implant electrodes into the brain.”
Is it ethical to require a soldier to implant nanotechnology as mission essential or for force protection? Can military personnel refuse nanotechnology embedded in a vaccine mandate or health order from the chain of command? Informed and uncoerced consent is the foundation of medical ethics.
Vaccines: the Trojan horse for worldwide adoption of nanotechnology?
The Institute for Soldiers Nanotechnologies at MIT and the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases are researching the use of nanotechnology based adjuvants in new vaccines for the military against malaria, tuberculosis, HIV and Ebola.
According to this document, “Project 1.6 proposes to develop two platform technologies that safely and efficiently promote immune responses in the vaccination and therapeutic settings: lymph node targeting amphiphile-adjuvants and immune-targeting amphiphilic ligand-coated metal nanoparticles. These two approaches are ideally suited to targeting adjuvant compounds to lymphoid tissues and immunomodulators to immune cells during infection, respectively.”
In addition to the concerns of experimental vaccines for military personnel, civilians will likely follow in vaccine mandates with nanotechnology. Tracking individual location and personal metabolic data is far too much power for any government or health department. And moreover, if the technology can send biochemistry signals from the person to the government, then likely the technology has capability to also send biochemistry altering signals from the government to the person. What are the limitations and safeguards for the government’s remote ability to affect or control a person’s thoughts, emotions and vital functioning? Nanotechnology could give data-based omnipotence to the controllers and create an oppressive world of governance in the guise of public health.

thelibertybeacon--2020-10-04--30 Years of German Unity and What Has It Achieved?

Yesterday , October 3rd , saw the 30th anniversary of German reunification when West Germany joined up with the East following the collapse of the Berlin Wall .
We ’ re putting three articles back-to-back from RT to give a flavor of it , and some useful perspective as to why it has hardly been a stunning success 30 years on .
For MSM vacuity and government propaganda , see this outrageously biased , ra-ra piece from DW ( Deutsche Welle ) , German Unity Day : Steinmeier hails ‘ joy and courage ’ , blaming as it does the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ democracy and freedom ’ in the country ( note in the third article below , over clashes between Antifa and the Third-Way nationalist movement yesterday , it is Antifa that was causing the violence at what was presumably a legal march ) .
An RT bias-warning : we all know that Germany underwent vast migration pressures because of Merkel ’ s adherence to the pro-corporate/cheap labour , globalist vision of open borders and ‘ multiculturalism ’ , especially around 2014 ( see image ) .
Even she admitted that it failed – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ isn ’ t addressed by the two commentators below ; RT generally buys into the ‘ far right ’ narrative on this topic .
East Germany is also the birthplace of the Alternative fur Deutschland ( AfD ) party , which started life on an economic platform against the backdrop of relative poverty in former East German regions .
It has been gaining ground in the most recent elections .
However , it is painted merely as a racist , ‘ far right ’ party in the narrative : it isn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pro-freedom rally that took place in Berlin on August 29th , led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Heiko Schoning , demonstrating against the rapid advance of authoritarianism over the virus measures in all our countries .
See Robert F. Kennedy Jr : Fighting Against Global Totalitarianism in Berlin [ VIDEO ] .
Such is the import of this message that Dr. Schoning was arrested at a legal rally in Trafalgar Square two Saturdays ago .

Less than the sum of its parts : German reunification thirty years on A country that combined the best aspects of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been a great place to live , but Germany has lost its way since the reunification of October 1990 and the hopes haven ‘ t been realised since .
Thirty years ago today , on 3rd October 1990 , ‘ Germany ’ was reborn .
The division of Germany into East and West was supposed to have been permanent , following the end of the Second World War , and this division was recognised again in the 1975 Helsinki Accords .
Nevertheless , just fifteen years later , the separation was over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ climb on the Wall at the Brandenburg Gate on 9th November 1989 , Berlin , Germany © Global Look Press / Norbert Michalke Some would say this was inevitable , following the demise of communist rule in the GDR , but nothing is inevitable until it happens .
East and West Germany could , conceivably have continued as separate states , at least for a number of years .
Indeed , that is what many , including UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher , who was very apprehensive about reunification , hoped for .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the West German Chancellor at the time , declaring ‘ Wir sind doch ein volk !
’ ( We are one people ! )
on 10th November 1989 .
‘ Deutsche Wiederervereinigung ’ ( German reunification ) thereafter became a juggernaut that proved impossible for anyone to stop .
Of course , as Kohl said , self-determination was paramount , but if reunification had to take place , it could have been done in a different way .
Rather than being a ‘ merger ’ between East and West , what actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over ’ the East .
The Federal Republic of Germany ( ER : west ) was never ‘ put to sleep ’ , but the German Democratic Republic ( east ) was .
In other words , reunification didn ’ t create a ‘ third ’ country , but simply enlarged the Federal Republic .
And that , arguably , is where things went wrong .
I spent time in both West and East Germany in the summer and autumn of 1989 .
I had been to West Germany a number of times @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I was impressed by what I saw .
There was a high standard of living , great art and culture and a pretty vibrant society .
In September 1989 , I visited East Germany for the first time .
Travelling by train from Frankfurt , the contrast was quite incredible .
Everything seemed quieter .
There were no advertising hoardings .
The roads had about a quarter of the traffic on them as in the West .
It was , to use a cliché , like stepping back in time .
But that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ backward ’ , far from it .
Again , as in the West , the arts and cultural life was strong .
The people were friendly , engaging and very well-educated .
There seemed to be a strong community spirit .
Pubs and restaurants were packed .
My visit coincided with the official 40th birthday celebrations of Europe ’ s youngest state .
Yet for the GDR , life didn ’ t begin at 40 , but ended .
No one could have predicted how quickly events would unfold .
No one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can criticise anyone else for yearning for it .
Yet thirty years later , the German government ’ s annual report on reunification showed that almost 60 % of citizens in Eastern Germany regarded themselves as ‘ second-class citizens ’ , and only 38 % of those polled thought German reunification had been a success .
Staying in Wernigerode I became friends with a charming married couple who shared my love of vintage detective fiction .
When the Berlin Wall came down , they sent me an ecstatic letter , which ended with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Freedom ) .
It ’ s not just the citizens of the former East Germany who are ‘ Ostalgic ’ for the past .
There ’ s the phenomenon of ‘ Westalgie ’ too- ie .
nostalgia for the old West Germany and the prosperous , comfortable lives that people once lived there .
Today ’ s Germany is not the sum of its parts .
It is still two nations in all but name .
If anything , the last thirty years proves that competition is a good thing .
The existence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ power in the West had to raise their game .
They did , via Adenauer and Erhard ’ s ‘ Social Market ’ economy .
Who could be tempted by communism when considering all that the Federal Republic offered its citizens : a strong economy , social security and a very high level of personal freedom ?
Similarly , pressure from the West , meant that East Germany ’ s leaders had to pull their finger out too , with increased production of consumer goods , and some – albeit cautious – liberalisation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the risk of being poor had risen to a record high in Germany .
Shorn of the competition that East and West Germany provided for each other , the eagle of a united Germany hasn ’ t soared to the great heights many expected in 1990 .
Both East and West Germany were very safe countries , where violent crime was rare , but the number of murders in united Germany has risen from 630 in 2012 to 901 in 2018 .
( ER : This can not be unrelated to mass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around 2014 . )
Rape and sexual assault cases have also risen during the last decade .
Things don ’ t seem to be going too well in the workplace , either .
A 2019 report revealed that the Germans were the most dissatisfied employees in Europe , after Hungarians .
Again , it ’ s all a far cry from the hopes and dreams of 1990 .
A hurried ‘ takeover ’ of the East by the West , and then the gradual dismantling of what made the West so special , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the East- all against the disorienting backdrop of greed-fuelled turbo globalisation , has unsurprisingly left many Germans with a sense of loss and unease .
There ’ s also been a worrying diminution of the freedoms the West once enjoyed , such as freedom of speech , under the guise of countering ‘ hate speech ’ .
Whichever way it was done , German re-unification was never going to be easy .
Forty years is a significant period of time , and by the late 1980s both the FRG and the GDR had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own national cultures , their own way of life , their own brands , their own iconography .
Did we need communism in the East to keep the West ‘ up to the mark ’ ?
It looks like it .

On 3 October 1990 , the eastern socialist German Democratic Republic ( GDR ) was disbanded and absorbed by the western Federal Republic of Germany .
Germany ’ s far-right “ Third-Way ” movement , which describes itself as “ Nationalist ” and “ Socialist ” , staged a march in Berlin marking the occasion .
Originally , it was to be held on May 1 , but was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic .
The event attracted a large group @ @ @ @ @ @ @ block the route of the “ Third-Way ” marchers .
Police deployed a major force into the area , trying to separate the rival groups and clear the route for the march .
Antifa protesters have attempted to stage sit-ins in the middle of a road , prompting police to forcibly remove and detain some of them , footage from the scene shows .
That led to scuffles , with authorities saying the activists pelted law enforcement with various projectiles .

Yesterday, October 3rd, saw the 30th anniversary of German reunification when West Germany joined up with the East following the collapse of the Berlin Wall. We’re putting three articles back-to-back from RT to give a flavor of it, and some useful perspective as to why it has hardly been a stunning success 30 years on.
For MSM vacuity and government propaganda, see this outrageously biased, ra-ra piece from DW (Deutsche Welle), German Unity Day: Steinmeier hails ‘joy and courage’, blaming as it does the ‘far right’ for not defending ‘democracy and freedom’ in the country (note in the third article below, over clashes between Antifa and the Third-Way nationalist movement yesterday, it is Antifa that was causing the violence at what was presumably a legal march).
An RT bias-warning: we all know that Germany underwent vast migration pressures because of Merkel’s adherence to the pro-corporate/cheap labour, globalist vision of open borders and ‘multiculturalism’, especially around 2014 (see image). Even she admitted that it failed – once it was largely accomplished. Immigration isn’t addressed by the two commentators below; RT generally buys into the ‘far right’ narrative on this topic. East Germany is also the birthplace of the Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) party, which started life on an economic platform against the backdrop of relative poverty in former East German regions. It has been gaining ground in the most recent elections. However, it is painted merely as a racist, ‘far right’ party in the narrative: it isn’t mentioned below, either.
Nor is the pro-freedom rally that took place in Berlin on August 29th, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Heiko Schoning, demonstrating against the rapid advance of authoritarianism over the virus measures in all our countries. See Robert F. Kennedy Jr: Fighting Against Global Totalitarianism in Berlin [VIDEO]. Such is the import of this message that Dr. Schoning was arrested at a legal rally in Trafalgar Square two Saturdays ago.

On October 3, Germany celebrates the day of national unity – a holiday marking the moment when capitalist West Germany and socialist East Germany officially merged into one state once again . With Moscow still having a sway over the situation in the East, the historical reunification could not have been possible without the tacit support of the then-Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev , who repeatedly stated that the Germans should determine their fate themselves.
The reunification was followed by the adoption of the Paris Charter for a New Europe – a universal document signed by 32 European nations, including the former members of the Soviet bloc, as well as the US and Canada. It could have helped Europe to leave the legacy of the Cold War behind and pave the way for a united cooperation space “from Vancouver to Vladivostok,” veteran German diplomat Frank Elbe told RT Deutsch.
“If it had have happened as we had decided [at that time] and the cooperation zone from Vancouver to Vladivostok had been created, everyone, including the West, Russia, the former Soviet states and Americans, would have benefited from it, including from a strategic point of view,” he said. “That would be an incredible synergy in political and economic fields.”
Yet, hopes for a brighter future were eventually dashed by Washington’s geopolitical ambitions since America quickly declared itself the only superpower and adopted a strategy of “controlling” the rest of the world, including Europe and the former Soviet states, instead of even trying to build cooperation with them, the former German ambassador to Poland, India, Japan and Switzerland noted. (ER: What some commentators refer to as the creation of a ‘unipolar’ world back then.)
“We are making a giant step backwards – back to the Cold War,” Elbe said, adding that Europe and the US have abandoned the instruments of successful crisis resolution they used in the past.
The logic of domination and confrontation espoused by the American establishment poisons not just relations between Washington and Moscow but between the US and its allies in Europe as well, not least because America doesn’t see some of them, including Germany, as allies anymore.
“It seems that Americans count us [Germans] among their imaginary adversaries and believe we prevent them from succeeding in their … policy of dominating Eurasia,” Elbe said, referring to the reports of some US think tanks like Stratfor that define economic cooperation between Russia and Germany as a threat to America’s strategic interests while Berlin is called a source of a danger to NATO integrity.
Washington’s vehement opposition to the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project, in which both Russia’s Gazprom gas giant and Europe’s big energy corporations such as Shell, Engie, Uniper and OMV are involved, is just the tip of the iceberg, Elbe believes.
“The Americans are just horrified by the fact that Europe pursues its own independent policy. They link the Nord Stream 2 to Germans, although it is not a German-Russian project but one in which European companies are involved and which enjoys strong support of other participants as well.”
“Our allies consider us troublemakers now,” the diplomat said, adding that it is all because Washington accuses Berlin of a desire to uphold “special relations” with Russia.
Elbe believes there is nothing really “special” in them, explaining that it is just a pragmatic approach instead. The ex-diplomat also argued it is high time for Europe to adopt this pragmatism in relations with Russia as well and get down from its moral high horse since constant sanctions and constant lecturing of Moscow have so far led Europe nowhere but only harmed the continent’s economy. (ER: Europe has suffered greatly on the economic front in terms of jobs lost and GDP diminished by continuing hostilities and sanctions against Russia, a point made constantly by economic commentators such as Paul Craig Roberts. No doubt this is Washington’s desired outcome.)
“We urgently need to lose such habits,” Elbe said, calling on European nations to actively re-engage with Moscow within the Russia-NATO Council and the Normandy Four format designed to resolve the Ukrainian crisis, as well as to start gradually easing the sanctions.

President Trump is currently at Walter Reed Medical Center as he is treated for coronavirus.
By Alex Nitzberg
President Trump could be discharged from Walter Reed Medical Center to finish his COVID-19 treatment from the White House, a doctor announced during a press conference on Sunday.
“In response to transient low oxygen levels as Dr. Conley has discussed, we did initiate dexamethasone therapy and he received his first dose of that yesterday. And our plan is to continue that for the time being,” that doctor said.
President Trump’s physician Dr. Sean Conley expressed that he wished to “reiterate how pleased we all are with the president’s recovery.”
Conley (pictured below) explained that on Friday morning when the president’s “oxygen saturation was transiently dipping below 94 percent,” he suggested that the president take oxygen.

“He was fairly adamant that he didn’t need it. He was not short of breath. He was tired, had the fever, and that was about it,” Conley explained, noting that following approximately a minute of oxygen the president’s levels had risen and that the president remained on the oxygen for around one hour.
Conley also said that the president’s oxygen level on Saturday dipped but eventually rose. He noted that the president is not experiencing shortness of breath.

thelibertybeacon--2020-10-04--Mask studies found ‘no evidence’ they stopped transmission of flu

2019 WHO review of mask studies found ‘ no evidence ’ they stopped transmission of flu A 2019 World Health Organization review of numerous studies testing the efficacy of face coverings to stop the transmission of influenza found “ no evidence that [ wearing a mask ] is effective in reducing transmission ” of the virus .
The organization has further discouraged individuals from using cloth masks to cover their faces during pandemics , though at times that advice has appeared to shift .
The 2019 review was part of a larger study examining “ non-pharmaceutical public health measures for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and pandemic influenza.
” That paper effected a “ systematic review of the evidence on the effectiveness of [ non-pharmaceutical interventions ] , including personal protective measures , environmental measures , social distancing measures and travel-related measures.
” Among the measures the study reviewed were hand-washing , quarantine protocols , school closures , “ respiratory etiquette ” and face masks .
The document reviews 10 separate randomized , controlled trials examining the effectiveness of face masks in stopping flu transmission .
There was “ no evidence that face masks are effective in reducing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that survey .
Of the surveyed studies , just two found any reduction at all in the rate of influenza-like illnesses among participants ; in one , the reduction occurred over a two-week period during a five-month study , while reductions in another “ were not statistically significant.
” The review ’ s authors note that “ the majority of these studies were conducted in households in which at least one person was infected , and exposure levels might be relatively higher.
” Therefore , “ additional studies of face mask use in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Though the organization conceded little evidence for the effectiveness of face masks , in an overview of the paper they nevertheless “ conditionally ” recommend them for the broader public in the case of “ severe epidemics or pandemics.
” “ Although there is no evidence that this is effective in reducing transmission , there is mechanistic plausibility for the potential effectiveness of this measure , ” the overview reads .
WHO gives shifting advice on cloth masks The World Health Organization made headlines over the summer when it advised governments to begin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certain situations such as public transport and other crowded public venues .
In June , the organization cited “ a growing compendium of observational evidence on the use of masks by the general public ” as its reason for shifting its advice , though the organization still conceded that there is “ no direct evidence ( from studies on COVID- 19 and in healthy people in the community ) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses , including COVID-19.
” That guidance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more and more individuals to wear masks while out in public , has over the past several months led to widespread mask mandates in countries across the world .
Many individuals have taken to wearing cloth masks either as a personal choice or to comply with local mandates .
Many of those masks have been homemade , though booming corporate and cottage industries in cloth mask manufacturing have arisen over the last several months .
Yet the World Health Organization itself gives shifting advice on cloth masks .
In its 2019 literature review @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face masks are not recommended.
” In its guidance over the summer , however , it gave detailed technical standards by which individuals might fabricate their own cloth face coverings .
Yet in that document it also stated that the “ limited available evidence ” in favor of cloth masks made them inadvisable for health care workers .
On its website , meanwhile , the WHO states that it “ does not recommend [ the ] widespread use [ of cloth face masks ] among the public for control of COVID-19.
” Yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ governments should “ encourage the general public to use non-medical fabric masks ” in “ areas of widespread transmission , with limited capacity for implementing control measures and especially in settings where physical distancing of at least 1 metre is not possible.
” The WHO did not answer queries from Just the News regarding its recommendation to wear face masks .
COVID and influenza spread the same way Though the WHO ’ s literature review of mask effectiveness took place prior to the COVID-19 pandemic , its findings could offer important implications for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ viral crisis .
Experts assert that COVID-19 spreads primarily through respiratory droplets from infected individuals .
Masks , including cloth face masks , are meant to stop those droplets from spreading to other individuals and to surfaces .
Yet influenza spreads the same way , according to medical experts .
“ Most experts think that flu viruses spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough , sneeze or talk , ” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says on its website .
Whether or not the ostensible ineffectiveness of face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to COVID-19 is currently unknown .
Many U.S. states months ago mandated that citizens wear masks while out in public , yet many of those same states — such as Michigan , California , Washington and others —have seen sustained or increasing infection rates since the mandates went into effect .
The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate , and for this we are grateful and excited !
But we must also be practical .

2019 WHO review of mask studies found ‘no evidence’ they stopped transmission of flu
By Daniel Payne
A 2019 World Health Organization review of numerous studies testing the efficacy of face coverings to stop the transmission of influenza found “no evidence that [wearing a mask] is effective in reducing transmission” of the virus. The organization has further discouraged individuals from using cloth masks to cover their faces during pandemics, though at times that advice has appeared to shift.
The 2019 review was part of a larger study examining “non-pharmaceutical public health measures for mitigating the risk and impact of epidemic and pandemic influenza.” That paper effected a “systematic review of the evidence on the effectiveness of [non-pharmaceutical interventions], including personal protective measures, environmental measures, social distancing measures and travel-related measures.”
Among the measures the study reviewed were hand-washing, quarantine protocols, school closures, “respiratory etiquette” and face masks.
The document reviews 10 separate randomized, controlled trials examining the effectiveness of face masks in stopping flu transmission. There was “no evidence that face masks are effective in reducing transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza” found in that survey.
Of the surveyed studies, just two found any reduction at all in the rate of influenza-like illnesses among participants; in one, the reduction occurred over a two-week period during a five-month study, while reductions in another “were not statistically significant.”
The review’s authors note that “the majority of these studies were conducted in households in which at least one person was infected, and exposure levels might be relatively higher.” Therefore, “additional studies of face mask use in the general community would be valuable.”
Though the organization conceded little evidence for the effectiveness of face masks, in an overview of the paper they nevertheless “conditionally” recommend them for the broader public in the case of “severe epidemics or pandemics.”
“Although there is no evidence that this is effective in reducing transmission, there is mechanistic plausibility for the potential effectiveness of this measure,” the overview reads.
WHO gives shifting advice on cloth masks
The World Health Organization made headlines over the summer when it advised governments to begin recommending that individuals wear face coverings in certain situations such as public transport and other crowded public venues.
In June, the organization cited “a growing compendium of observational evidence on the use of masks by the general public” as its reason for shifting its advice, though the organization still conceded that there is “no direct evidence (from studies on COVID- 19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.”
That guidance, along with a growing push for more and more individuals to wear masks while out in public, has over the past several months led to widespread mask mandates in countries across the world. Many individuals have taken to wearing cloth masks either as a personal choice or to comply with local mandates.
Many of those masks have been homemade, though booming corporate and cottage industries in cloth mask manufacturing have arisen over the last several months.
Yet the World Health Organization itself gives shifting advice on cloth masks. In its 2019 literature review it stated bluntly: “Reusable cloth face masks are not recommended.” In its guidance over the summer, however, it gave detailed technical standards by which individuals might fabricate their own cloth face coverings. Yet in that document it also stated that the “limited available evidence” in favor of cloth masks made them inadvisable for health care workers.
On its website, meanwhile, the WHO states that it “does not recommend [the] widespread use [of cloth face masks] among the public for control of COVID-19.” Yet in the same paragraph it argues that governments should “encourage the general public to use non-medical fabric masks” in “areas of widespread transmission, with limited capacity for implementing control measures and especially in settings where physical distancing of at least 1 metre is not possible.”
The WHO did not answer queries from Just the News regarding its recommendation to wear face masks.
COVID and influenza spread the same way
Though the WHO’s literature review of mask effectiveness took place prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, its findings could offer important implications for mask usage as applied to the current viral crisis.
Experts assert that COVID-19 spreads primarily through respiratory droplets from infected individuals. Masks, including cloth face masks, are meant to stop those droplets from spreading to other individuals and to surfaces.
Yet influenza spreads the same way, according to medical experts. “Most experts think that flu viruses spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says on its website.
Whether or not the ostensible ineffectiveness of face masks in stopping influenza can be extrapolated to COVID-19 is currently unknown. Many U.S. states months ago mandated that citizens wear masks while out in public, yet many of those same states — such as Michigan, California, Washington and others —have seen sustained or increasing infection rates since the mandates went into effect.
