Imagine only believing recent studies rushed to the forefront immediately after politicians decided on their placebo of choice for a pandemic they were not really equipped to handle. Never mind the decades of conventional medical knowledge and studies which made up the standard of our medical understanding of how masks work and don’t work. it was only after Dr. Fauci, Dr. Redfield, and the US Surgeon General Jerome Adams all flipped on their warnings like a bunch of criminal stooges that suddenly the new studies became the ‘consensus’ prevailing opinion, even though secretly politicians know it’s political theater.
But what do I know? I guess because I have not read THE DOUBLE-BLIND STUDIES you claim to religiously adhere to like a dull lemming, that means I’m just armchair quarterbacking? Right? Just because I’m not a working Scientist™, like this guy, I must just be making up my own facts?
Well, maybe so. Then again, I do have quite a bit of evidence on the topic. And thanks to you, I finally have a good reason to share my links like I’ve been asked to for months.
