New systematic review claims masks work. No way.
New systematic review claims masks work. No way.
This new pre-print study is garbage. But because it comes to the right conclusion, the “study” was hailed by the German Federal Minister of Health, Karl Lauterbach as proof that masks work. Wow.
There is a new systematic review of 1732 mask studies to determine whether masks work. It is on a preprint server meaning it is not peer-reviewed.
Almost all of the 1732 potential studies were eliminated so they only looked at 13 studies with a total of 243 COVID infections between the two groups.
One of the 13 studies that was not eliminated was done in 2004 which is impressive since SARS-CoV-2 didn’t exist at the time.
From that, they conclude that masks provide nearly a 90% risk reduction of getting infected.
That is preposterous.
Masks have never had any measurable effect at all in any large well done study. I’m happy to bet anyone $1M who disagrees.
But the German Federal Minister of Health, Karl Lauterbach had this to say about the study (translated from German):
For everyone who is still unsure whether masks protect against COVID: here is a new American mega study that evaluates over 1,700 studies. The benefit of the masks is very large, undisputed and applies to many areas.
Wow. He should resign. If he doesn’t, he should be fired for promoting such nonsense.

Check out how much better N95’s are compared to surgical masks:
That’s right. Anyone with a working brain can see N95 masks are not effective at all. There is no measurable difference!
Ian Miller does a fantastic job of dismantling the deception. I highly recommend reading Ian’s article, “A New Low in Desperate Pro-Mask Studies Has Been Reached”
These disposable masks work only to prevent spread of microbes (germs) but the science is that viruses are extremely small and NOT stopped by a simple mask, much less some of these home made cloth masks. It’s total lunacy with viruses. Even the disposable masks, they have to be changed frequently!
All "Covid cases" reported to and by CDC are "presumed," "probable" or "confirmed." (See CSTE position statements) All these categories of "cases" are reported in "total cases" published by CDC. If we throw out "probable & presumed" cases, we are left with those "confirmed" by PCR (including "asymptomatic cases"). When you realize that PCR cannot possibly be a valid method for diagnosing a "case" we are back to all the "presumed" and "probable," and of course that's just a lot of unscientific and completely inappropriate diagnosis. (See CSTE Position statements)
I encourage everyone to learn as much as possible about PCR, and specifically "primers." This journey will inevitably lead to the "virus isolation" issue. And then you will understand why so many intelligent open minded critical thinkers have concluded that "viruses" have never been proven to be the cause of any illness, let alone proven to exist at all.
...Then everyone will truly understand why masks are neither useful nor necessary in the context of "virus."
