"A new study shows COVID is highly likely present on every plane. No surprise! But when the mask mandate was lifted, COVID death rates remained FLAT. The masks made NO difference.
First of all Adams shouldn’t be opining on masks as there is no evidentiary support for his conclusion. I plan to challenge him to defend his statement, but I doubt he will accept because I’m guessing that he believes that it is best to silence your opposition rather than engage them in a conversation. Why do I think that? Because he did not speak out when the current Surgeon General Vivek Murthy announced the “Disinformation Dozen” list. The right thing to have done is use that list to debate them, not use the list to silence them.
Real scientists never try to censor their opposition.
Real scientists are not attached to their beliefs.
Real scientists are not afraid of being challenged.
Masks can have the opposite effect
The peer-reviewed scientific literature points out the possibility of considerable harm of masks via the Foegen effect.
The Foegen paper pointed out two key things:
In Kansas, counties with mask mandate had significantly higher case fatality rates than counties without mask mandate, with a risk ratio of 1.85 (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.51-2.10) for COVID-19-related deaths
These findings suggest that mask use might pose a yet unknown threat to the user instead of protecting them, making mask mandates a debatable epidemiologic intervention. The cause of this trend is explained herein using the “Foegen effect” theory; that is, deep re-inhalation of hyper condensed droplets or pure virions caught in facemasks as droplets can worsen prognosis and might be linked to long-term effects of COVID-19 infection. While the “Foegen effect” is proven in vivo in an animal model, further research is needed to fully understand it.
It shows that on 100% of the samples they tested, there was someone infected with COVID on every single flight. This shouldn’t be a shocker at all. With hundreds of people on a typical plane, it’s virtually guaranteed that at least one person on every plane (who went #2 on in the lavatory of the plane) has COVID.
What happened to COVID deaths when the mask mandate was lifted? They remained LOW.."
