Does an article that appeared in a recent edition of JAMA really provide conclusive evidence that masks prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus associated with COVID-19, or is it an example of the medical propaganda multiplying machine?
Take a deep dive into this article with me, and make up your own mind!

04/03/2021Thank you for the work you do and this deep dive into masks. An excellent investigation, in my opinion, and another indication that all is not what it is purported to be.
I have been required to wear a mask once. I did note the inability to think well, read other’s intentions and understand what people were saying,(it seems I lip read in noisy group settings). I also noticed a decrease in my peripheral spacial awareness and could not help moving it around my face. It was an interesting experience!

04/03/2021Thanks for your feedback Leigh. I’m sure you’re not alone in noticing that various aspects of your functioning are impaired by wearing a mask. I shudder to think about the impact on babies and young children who are now growing up in a world of masked faces. This is a massive social experiment that no one has consented to participate in.
