I cover in this presentation the effectiveness of the different types of masks and face shields at protecting the wearer and at preventing the spread of COVID-19. You may be shocked to learn what the science has to say about this. The summary of that: N95 masks work best, face shields are great, then hospital…

PJ Media reports “COVID-19 May Soon Lose Status as an ‘Epidemic’ Under CDC Guidelines”
Despite the recent spike in COVID-19 cases, deaths have continued to decline and may soon reach a level where the coronavirus will no longer qualify as an epidemic under CDC guidelines. A disease outbreak qualifies as an “epidemic” by the CDC when the number of weekly deaths caused by the disease exceeds a certain percentage…
Henry Ford Health System Study shows “Treatment with Hydroxychloroquine Cut Death Rate Significantly in COVID-19 Patients”
Treatment with hydroxychloroquine cut the death rate significantly in sick patients hospitalized with COVID-19 – and without heart-related side-effects, according to a new study published by Henry Ford Health System. In a large-scale retrospective analysis of 2,541 patients hospitalized between March 10 and May 2, 2020 across the system’s six hospitals, the study found 13% of those treated…
UnCoverDC reports “Was the COVID-19 Test Meant to Detect a Virus?”
“Scientists are doing an awful lot of damage to the world in the name of helping it. I don’t mind attacking my own fraternity because I am ashamed of it.” –Kary Mullis, Inventor of Polymerase Chain Reaction What do we mean when we say somebody has ‘tested positive’ for the Corona Virus? The answer would…
New England Journal of Medicine reports “widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.”
We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or…
Penn State reports “Initial COVID-19 infection rate may be 80 times greater than originally reported”
Now, a new study from Penn State estimates that the number of early COVID-19 cases in the U.S. may have been more than 80 times greater and doubled nearly twice as fast as originally believed The implication is that death rates are much lower than initially believed. https://news.psu.edu/story/623797/2020/06/22/research/initial-covid-19-infection-rate-may-be-80-times-greater-originally
The Scientist reports on “Lab-Made Coronavirus Triggers Debate” in 2015
Ralph Baric, an infectious-disease researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, published a study on his team’s efforts to engineer a virus with the surface protein of the SHC014 coronavirus, found in horseshoe bats in China, and the backbone of one that causes human-like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in mice. The…
The Atlantic reports “How Could the CDC Make That Mistake?”
The government’s disease-fighting agency is conflating viral and antibody tests, compromising a few crucial metrics that governors depend on to reopen their economies. Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, and other states are doing the same. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/05/cdc-and-states-are-misreporting-covid-19-test-data-pennsylvania-georgia-texas/611935/
The Telegraph reports “There is no scientific evidence to support the disastrous two-metre rule”
Poor quality research is being used to justify a policy with enormous consequences for us all The two-metre rule, however, is also seriously impacting schools, pubs, restaurants and our ability to go about our daily lives. The Government is reviewing the policy, but what evidence is there that keeping our distance makes any difference to…
