There are still millions of people walking around breathing in particles from their masks, and mold spores from the humidity, and increased carbon dioxide.
Then we have CDC director Rochelle Walensky. She is in many ways the antithesis of Fauci and his ilk. Although much of the public knows that a manipulative response is coming after she’s asked a question, her answers leave people within earshot frustrated and hopeless. Not because she’s an inept public health leader but because her effort to conceal truths has front facing childlike unpreparedness.
At one time in her career, Walensky may have been a sharp, hard-hitting professor at Harvard and hospital chief propelling her into the director position at the top public health agency in the US. Yet, akin to a Benjamin Button of health communication and public relations, Walensky seems to regress in tact, professionalism and trust as her tenure as CDC director goes forward in time. With Charles Manson-like eye contact, Walensky often says things she probably shouldn’t say out loud – or at the very least, seems not to know any better.
American’s watched in dismay as Walensky (along with Fauci, Hotez, and others) did their best to soft message the waning effectiveness of the mRNA Covid shots. From 95% effective, according to Pfizer’s press release, to can’t stop, won’t stop transmission or infection. During the entire time, we knew before the first shots went in American arms that Pfizer never tested if they’s stop transmission or death – never mind the safety issues.
Walensky’s initial ‘charm,’ flanked by Fauci’s unwavering belief in himself, was enough to convince millions of Americans, along with key conservative media pundits who didn’t do their research, to champion Pfizer’s biggest, boldest medical bluff in the history of their criminal-fine- paying company’s history.
It was in 2021 that Walensky really fell off the PR wagon. During a long form conversation at the University of Washington, she blamed ‘too much optimism’ for the reason ‘nobody’ thought the efficacy would wane or thought it wouldn’t be potent against other variant.
It was clear to anyone with a half or even third brain already in 2020 that masks do not help.

Objectives
To assess the effectiveness of physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of acute respiratory viruses.
Search methods
We searched CENTRAL, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and two trials registers in October 2022, with backwards and forwards citation analysis on the new studies.
Selection criteria
We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and cluster‐RCTs investigating physical interventions (screening at entry ports, isolation, quarantine, physical distancing, personal protection, hand hygiene, face masks, glasses, and gargling) to prevent respiratory virus transmission.
Medical/surgical masks compared to no masks
Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness (ILI)/COVID‐19 like illness compared to not wearing masks
N95/P2 respirators compared to medical/surgical masks
The use of a N95/P2 respirators compared to medical/surgical masks probably makes little or no difference for the objective and more precise outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza infection.
Hand hygiene compared to control
Pooled data showed that hand hygiene may be beneficial with an 11% relative reduction of respiratory illness.
Mandatory mask wearing was a fucking cargo cult and a crime. It was clear to anyone with a half or even third brain already in 2020 that masks do not help. Scientific studies were out there.
