Is science dead at MIT? I'm risking $250,000 to find out.
Read my letter to the Provost and the Dean of Science at MIT. I sent very similar offers to Harvard and Stanford. Do you think they will respond?
To Dean Mavalvala and Provost Barnhart,
I’d be willing to make a $250K grant to MIT if there is a MIT faculty member (you can field as MANY as you like) who can convince Professor Norman Fenton and Stephen Petty that there is scientific evidence that shows that masks reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2.
Professor Fenton is an expert on statistics and math and is highly respected.
Petty is highly respected as an expert on PPE and industrial hygiene. He is a former university Professor. You can view his New Hampshire Senate testimony here and his Rumble channel is here.
All of the randomized trials on masks and COVID show that masks don’t work
There are only two randomized studies of masks against SARS-CoV-2, but both of them showed no effect whatsoever.
The BMJ wrote about the corruption of science in this article about the Danish mask study.
DANMASK-19, the first trial of mask use during covid-19, was “negative.” Masks didn’t work. We knew this before the trial was published because we were told so on social media. The authors were reported by the media to be struggling to find a major journal for their trial. Journals weren’t proving brave enough to publish the study, said the authors, and they didn’t make a preprint available.
Recently, a medical journal editor friend of mine just met with the senior author of the second randomized trial, the Bangladesh study (Yale Professor Jason Abaluck) that the entire world has relied upon to justify mask wearing.
An article in Nature proclaimed, “A rigorous study finds that surgical masks are highly protective, but cloth masks fall short.” Nope. That sure isn’t what the trial found at all! Even the senior author of the paper would agree that the study wasn’t powered sufficiently for subgroup analysis. Whoops!
Professor Fenton viewed the 2-hour discussion and instantly identified clear scientific fraud that invalidates the entire study.
Two marines tested if masks protected anyone from bear spray which is 10X larger than virus particles. Professional military gear worked brilliantly while the face masks endorsed by the CDC failed miserably and instantly. Perhaps one of your faculty would care to replicate the same test for us since masks clearly work.
In short, worldwide masking is not based on science at all. It appears to be based on a flawed study that claimed that random noise was statistically significant. It was about as scientifically valid as my flipping a coin 10 times, with 6 heads and 4 tails and claiming that coins are more likely to land on heads than tails.
You can watch the full 2-hour discussion here. Or you can just read the comments, none of which supported the study author’s claims. Our own experts’ analyses were much worse than those comments, and will be published soon.
In short, there is no reliable scientific evidence that confirms masks “suddenly” work to protect people from viruses. They never worked before the pandemic against viruses and they certainly don’t work now.
The laws of physics didn’t suddenly change a few months after the pandemic began. If the laws of physics had changed, we would have read about it in The New York Times.
Isn’t it time to call a spade a spade?
I think it is important that we make policy decisions that affect the health of MIT students based on science, not politics.
Is there a member of the MIT faculty (one or more) who will defend the MIT mask policy that was in effect until recently?
This is a no-risk opportunity to get a $250,000 grant to the departments of the participating professors as well as to show that the so-called “misinformation spreaders” are spreading misinformation.
Either way, it’s important that the truth be exposed.
The MIT Faculty should be a staunch defender of science
Are any of them willing to defend MIT’s policy based on the scientific studies that have been done?
I am eagerly looking forward to hearing your response.

I sent similar offers to Stanford and Harvard
I doubt any of them will be willing to defend their policies to my two world-class experts even though they have nothing to lose.
I’d be thrilled to be proven wrong.

We must never forget this. Justice must be served.
1) Suppression of the therapeutics by the medical authorities killed 100;s of thousands in the US alone.
2) The vaxx's themselves have killed 10's or 100's of thousands more so far and it's not over yet. Then there are the severe injuries.
3) The "standard of care" hospital protocols of Remdesivir and ventilation killed a lot, and the financial incentives to hospitals for doing it too.
4) The hospitals discouraging routine cancer screenings and other tests to make room for the more lucrative Covid patients killed plenty. Same with people with chest pains avoiding the ER.
5) Masking, even though it has no scientific basis, has retarded the development of the young b/c they need to see faces and read lips.
6) Lockdowns increased suicides, depression, and drug/alcohol addiction/death.
7) Closing of businesses caused severe economic hardships and led to supply chain disruption, causing increased starvation in poor areas of the world.
8) QE and fiscal stimulus, attempting to offset the economic shutdown, increased the national debt by maybe 20%, dealing an unnecessary and maybe fatal blow to the US economy.
Fauci , Gates, and the intelligence/defense bureaucracies created Covid with the GOF research, then forced the deadly jabs as the solution, suppressing all the proven therapeutics and medical opposition through control of medical research $ and journals, to make the medical industrial complex and themselves rich. They turned up the fear porn to 11 with masking and lockdowns to sell more jabs and usher in the digital social credit system for total control of society. It's a giant con job my friends. Read Kennedy's book, The Real Anthony Fauci. This is the hill to die on.
Anyone else remember Paul Harvey!? I do. I remember very well listening to him every morning on my way to school. A man definitely before his time...
In 1965, Paul Harvey broadcasted “If I Were the Devil.” It is really amazing to realize over 54 years ago how accurately he “prophesied” the future spiritual condition of the United States. Many of his statements were considered ridiculously outlandish at that time in history. Yet, this is exactly where we find ourselves today…
If I were the devil … If I were the Prince of Darkness, I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness. And I’d have a third of its real estate, and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree — Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first — I’d begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: ‘Do as you please.’
“To the young, I would whisper that ‘The Bible is a myth.’ I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what’s bad is good, and what’s good is ‘square.’ And the old, I would teach to pray, after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington…’
“And then I’d get organized. I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa. I’d pedal narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.
“If I were the devil I’d soon have families that war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames. If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions — just let those run wild, until before you knew it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.
“Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography — soon I could evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and church money. If I were the devil I’d make the symbols of Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.
“If I were the devil I’d take from those who have, and give to those who want until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.
And what do you bet I could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? I would caution against extremes and hard work in Patriotism, in moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on the TV is the way to be. And thus, I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were the devil I’d just keep right on doing what he’s doing.
Paul Harvey, good day.”
The point is, he saw all of this coming a very long time ago and we as a country let it slip inside our institutions without a second thought of where this would end up.
