I offered people $10,000 to take off their face masks for 60 minutes. Here's what happened.

On a recent Southwest flight, I offered $10,000 to the people sitting next to me to remove their face masks for the remainder of the flight. No takers. This shows you how strong the brainwashing is.

Executive summary

This tweet went viral with over 1M views in just 24 hours:

My intent wasn’t to put anyone at risk.

It was simply to ask a HYPOTHETICAL question to quantify how strongly people fear COVID today and how strongly they think masks are effective in protecting them against the risk.

The result: people are very strongly brainwashed. They fear COVID and believe that masks offer solid protection. That’s why people refused. Their life isn’t for sale.

Note that…

1. I was not going to place anyone at risk. I just wanted to see how strongly people felt about their face diapers.

2. Masks don’t work at all; not a single randomized study has shown a protective effect of any size that is statistically significant.

3. Everyone willingly removes their mask to eat and/or drink. No monetary incentives required.

4. If you are sitting next to someone who is infected, a single breath is sufficient to infect you during the time you are unmasked.

5. You can easily see for yourself that masks can’t work in this classic video of two Marines using bear spray to test masks

   

6. You can get infected through your eyes just as easily. Nobody seems to realize this. Even if masks worked, they’d be useless because of this.

7. A lot of people have told me that they want to sit next to me on my next flight.

Recent paper debunking the Bangladesh paper

Here’s the latest article in the peer reviewed literature on masks and the Bangladesh study: Re-analysis on the statistical sampling biases of a mask promotion trial in Bangladesh: a statistical replication.

Summary

Masks don’t work and even if they did, people aren’t covering their eyes so the mitigation is completely useless and nonsensical.

Despite that, people are so brainwashed with fear thanks to the CDC narrative that they would refuse an offer of $10,000 to take off their mask.

Next time, I’m going to find out how much money it would take for people wearing a mask outdoors to remove their mask for just one minute. How much do you think it will cost me?
