I'm at well over 200 by my count of RCT studies going back to the 1920s showing masks are useless - and even harmful. Yet....here we are. The interesting part is actual experts on masks like industrial hygienists (and even physicists) do not recommend masks in community settings but non-mask experts like physicians and epidemiologists continue to peddle them. Sans preuve, Hard.

Canada - and particularly Quebec - is the embodiment of what a society looks and sounds like with sophistry as its main mode of discourse frozen in 2020.

Canada (led by Quebec which by now is a psychological and scientific study onto itself. It's the only jurisdiction not just in North American with emergency measures in place but among most Western countries. Distinct indeed) has not evolved scientifically at all; its population further adrift from other Western nations wallowing in some superstitious trance slammed with Stockholm Syndrome. A Covid outlier among nations.....

....and PROUD of it.

Here's how I view Canada and Quebec. They're so far behind the race they think they're leading not realizing they've been lapped. But they think they're winning.

By the time they get to the finish line they find the medals ceremony is completed and wonder 'Wha happened?'

Spot on: courage is in such short supply.

Have you seen any discussion of whether "long covid" and "long flu" are both just specific examples of post-viral fatigue syndrome (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3063394/)?

Pursuant to this point, "Your livelihood now and in the future is MUCH less safe. The world you are entering is much less healthy," one question not enough people give proper consideration to is the precedent they're helping to set by tolerating or even supporting such oppression. What are the limits of this ascendant hyper-paternalism? What other contagious diseases will we shut down society for? What other threats to our "health and safety" warrant the destruction of our rights and way of life?

Just because someone is willing to take a jab or eleven for covid doesn't mean they'll be willing to submit to the next extraordinary demand.
