As the health and safety manager of a commercial and residential painting and decorating business. Someone who needs to understand how to mitigate a bunch of different airborne toxins. Whether that be dust particles, lead or asbestos, or solvents and other chemicals. I was pretty shocked when we were told a dust mask, or worse a handkerchief would stop tiny liquid respiratory droplets. Because that isn't how masks like N95/P2 even work. They stop solid dust particles, not gasses or liquids.

But I was even more concerned about how I was suddenly wrong about such a vital part of my job and how students in cafes and new migrants at supermarket checkouts suddenly knew more than me about it. Even when I explained the science to the best of my understanding. They knew more because the experts said so on TV.

As part of pandemic planning, every single study, conclusion, and expert opinion re public masking

went AGAINST it prior to May 2020. Even Fauci was against public masking. There was NEVER any

real science to support public masking; much less mandating it. In May 2020 it became government

policy only as a means of authoritarian control.

As a co-inventor of a NIOSH approved N95 respirator I know of its protective effectiveness in specific scenarios; but NOT for public use. To be effective, they need to be fit-tested, properly donned

and doffed, and discarded after every exposure.

"...virtue signaling on steroids" - couldn't have put it better! I loved the video you did way back when you donned FIVE masks, then huffed water vapor through them to clean your glasses. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words!

I've read hundreds of studies since 2020 on amulets - aka masks. Even maintaining a website to archive them all.

What I've observed is that every time a dubious non-RCT flawed observational study claims masks were/are effective, academics interviewed by the media are quick to cite them.

But well-constructed RCT studies or meta-analysis reviews confirming the body of evidence stretching back decades, they ignore.

Not a single study since 2020 has been able to conclusively overturn the literature on the fact masks are INEFFECTIVE.

Worse, there are plenty of studies that show their pernicious effects.

I have little doubt masks exacerbated the situation just like they did during the Spanish flu when they observed Boston, San Francisco and Philadelphia; cities with mask mandates. What they found was cases shot up and the masks did little from what I recall.

What I want to know is WHO or WHAT organization ordered masks to be used because even in early 2020 all public health officials were saying the right things and were actually 'following the established science on masks. So what happened around April or May into July 2020 that turned the weakest of the NPIs into the first line of defence?

To the mask True Believers - KarënMaskkenFührers - since masks work and the are necessarily repositories of WuFlu and othe yuckies, you certainly take the time and money to dispose of them as a BioHazardous Waste.....right?

My favorite mask study was from the 1980's titled 'Is a mask necessary in the operating theatre?' published in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, vol. 63 by Neil W. M. Orr.

Basically, the doctors decided not to wear surgical masks during surgery for a 6 month period then compared infection rates of that period to the same time in the previous 4 years. The result was 50% LESS post operative infections in the year where no masks were worn.

There were a few comments in subsequent issues where a doctor noted that the 'unclothed body sheds the fewest germs' i.e., naked! And I paraphrased to make the comment politically correct.

Dr. Bridle, I was at the presentation on Jan. 28. I wanted to make 2 comments on the pfizer 6 month safety data that you presented.

1. We all now know that the shots never prevented infection or transmission so how did pfizer manage to get any reduction in cases at all whether one looks at relative risk or absolute risk (91% and 3 % respectively).

2. Pfizer's data showed more all cause deaths in the treatment group than in the control group, 15 vs 14 later adjusted after giving the shots to the control group. This should have been an early warning of an increase in all cause mortality that is being now reported in highly mRNA vaxxed countries.

4 of the greatest photos of all time. Reality has been broken. We must create a New World Order of Comedian Dictators that rule us all with humor based rules punishable by K.P. duty.

Based on what I have seen of teeth in Britain, I think masks should be mandatory in the UK.

Regarding *virtue signaling on steroids* –– you might like to know ––

Many folks I know (my naughty twin included) utilized bandanas and the like as urban camouflage, and/or as a stealth act of resistance.

After all, with the 50million-camera surveillance state what it is these days (in America alone), you can imagine the lovers of CCP style social credit system keeping a digital list of who's naughty & nice - for future reference.... Even the copy machines at Office Max have embedded cameras on the touchpad now!! Don't think your digital vaxx passport isn't linked to the rest of the IoT "Internet of Things"? Think again. Just ask the dissidents in Canada, Australia how it went for them.....

Although P100 masks work better .. ( at least, I think so / hope so ). https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/everything-you-need-to-know-about

They look ridiculous, but if they were presented as a viable choice, people of or close to those at higher risk could choose to wear them depending on various factors (like crowded transit), and protect themselves / so they don't then get sick and pass it on, and Also still be able to breathe, while not needing to care if the people around them are masked or not.

But that doesn't fit with the guilt - manipulation of "your mask protects me", when the masks those meant don't protect anyone. But they helped people be afraid of each other and judge each other.

I still wonder if N95s work for some temporary time. Dr Kory has said it's hard to do studies on masks, as they don't really reflect if a mask could work in certain settings.

Finally, in Wokeville, NY, three years in, there are few masks outdoors. And so much microplastics inhaled, and so many disposable useless masks thrown "away" ...

Dr.Bridle

Could you kindly advise who attended the January 28 symposium? Thank you.

Perfect timing, just writing the CPSA in an attempt to have them reconsider their continued attacks on doctors for not blindly following their unsupported standards and beliefs.

Hi Byran. You can present this to the judge in the High Court of New Zealand , but he will have to take off his blinkers.
