During testimony at the UK government’s COVID inquiry this week, England’s former deputy chief medical officer at the height of the pandemic admitted that there was never any proof that face masks were effective in slowing or preventing the spread of the virus, and in all likelihood made the problem worse.
Professor Dame Jenny Harries, now the head of the UK Health Security Agency, explained that the policy wasn’t based on scientific reality and had the effect of instilling a “false sense of security,” convincing people that they would reduce their risk of becoming infected if they wore a mask.
She also told the inquiry that government advice on how to make a mask out of bits of cloth and old t-shirts was wholly “ineffective”.
“There appeared to be a view permeating through, and a real concern and risk, that it was being conceived that if you did one metre (social distancing) and you wore a face covering slung round your cheek, or whatever it might be, that was fine,” Harries noted.
She continued, “So, there was a risk that in encouraging face (masks) people would stop doing the thing that was really important, which was distancing and all the other things.”
“What was being conceived was if you wear a face covering and reduce everything to a metre, the face covering will make up for the difference, and the answer was no, it won’t, and it definitely won’t if it’s ever not evidence based,” Harries added.
Watch:
The BBC was broadcasting the testimony, but decided to “break away” when Harries started to explain how the use of masks was not evidence based and instilled a false sense of security among people wearing them.
In 2020 when it was all kicking off, Harries advised people not to panic buy and wear face masks saying that “it’s usually quite a bad idea” to wear a mask if you haven’t been expressly advised to do so by a medical professional.
She also told the BBC that masks could potentially “trap the virus” and help it spread.
Studies have proven that she was right all along:

Never forget that if you questioned the masks at the time you were ostracised and banned from engaging in society.

An early study done by the CDC of 520,000 hospital admissions with Covid documented that the three greatest comorbidities for a severe outcome were in order 1) obesity/BMI; 2) hypertension; 3) diabetes. Additionally, there was a very highly nonlinear correlation between the number of comorbidities and risk. A person who was fully healthy at onset had a very low probability of severe outcome.
Two points- One: that may otherwise intelligent health care professionals and government officials absolutely failed at basic data analysis. They seemed to get their general risk numbers by averaging the risk of fully healthy people along with those whose risk was 17X higher (those with 3 or more comorbidities). That number was worthless and only justified the severe destruction of our civil rights and the economy.
Two: that every point of excess BMI correlated to tangible changes in risk. Those with high BMIs should have immediately started aggressive measures to normalize their BMI, yet this was totally totally absent from public warnings and health care suggestions. Instead there the full power of these institutions was invested vaccination.
Our institutions have impeached themselves many times over.
People still believe Trump will save them after he rolled out the vaccines and campaigns for israel lol.
People also think jesus will save them.
Clown world.
Evidence, Schmevidence. It wasn’t to keep you safe, it was to force you into obeisance.
None of it was because it was all fucking lies. The death rate was the British government through their masters using malazopan and high pressure on ventilators coupled with causing flu deaths covid.
