Yes I laughed too.
But it's a real study from South Korea.

@NF16 The Danish researchers' study IS LITERALLY "experts chiming in".
Was your comment meant as a parody of the Mask Zombies?
I may struggle to detect parody sometimes.
@lololulu19 Indeed. All the masks ever did, was shift some of your airborne infectious exhale to the people on each side of you. So the person in front of you didn't get it all.
Oh and they do stop "large droplets" like spit or from coughing. But covid & flu are spread more by aerosols (your cloud of micro droplets, that masks ignore).
They don't do zero - the researchers did find a whopping 5% reduction in spread, from masking. Oh joy.
P.S. And for that: We damaged a generation of kids.
For language & social skillz, kids need to see faces. Also need in-person group activities, meaning lockdowns hurt them too.
We made a generation of kids more depressed & dysfunctional, compared to their pre-covid benchmarks.
@nix54 They took an experimental tech - something "used for two decades" except only on Stage 4 cancer patients - thus having ZERO long-term safety data for normies - and shoved it into the general public.
I'm sorry (if) you fell for it.
@MrMazda Correct - the push for these vaxx was weird.
They were never safe - from the beginning of 2021, they showed (un)safety signals that got a vaccine product banned immediately, in previous times.
And they were never effective for more than a few months per shot - except now they've driven covid evolultion (variants) forward to the point where these vaxx are ineffective and may perhaps even "boost" your chance of infection, something called negative protection.
I don't know if we've reached the tipping point where more people have died of vaxx heart damage, strokes, etc. than were "saved" by them, but we must be getting near.
@hubrys You've made me feel sorry for you.
Genuine pity.
YOU PERSONALLY are the victim of much, much, much, bigger liars & lies.
Like an autist watching the paint dry, unable to handle reality, you retreat to your Santos corner & write a list.
@MrMazda Like Hillary, the question is when doesn't Joe Biden lie? In the 1980s and 1990s, he was most famous for having skated through college on plagiarism. And for lifting others' speeches & zingers, repeating them straight-up like they were his own & people hadn't heard them days earlier. Comedians made fun of him nonstop. But nowadays, just put on the TV and watch him talk. "I brought gas prices down" - when they're nearly double Trump's. "If you take these vaxx you won't get infected". Biden would be Orwellian, if he weren't so crude & stupid. P.S. Many a little girl joining him for some photo op, has felt sexually abused by him ie. fondled or sniffed creepily in public.
@lololulu19 And the only one calling for a negotiated end to Ukraine war / stop WW3.
A fountain of common sense. It's weird.
The more so with today's libs LOVING the notion of German tanks in Ukraine to make World War with Russia.
Really. Think about it.
Parallel after parallel, falls into place.
With cosmetic changes only...mere changes of 1) flag, 2) which race libs hate, 3) iconography.
@raphjd Government official.... saying get rid of some race or ethnic group.... as "the solution".
Hmm what does that remind me of?
What could it be?
Evidence #2,000,001493 that modern libs are re-branded fascists.
Actual Nazi fascists of past times said, oops our brand is dead now / we better re-brand as modernist libs, after all, we always were science-y progressive socialists. Only thing we gotta change is, which race we hate.
There's books on it.
Dr. John Campbell (UK PhD nurse) puts numbers & data to it.
Here in Jan 2023, for ordinary people...... the risk of serious injury from vaxx, not huge, but still roughly like 10x greater than the teeny tiny risk of dying from covid.
It should be a no-brainer that we stop vaxxing normies, only vaxx a few people who are medically weak or fearful.
"Should be."
@raphjd A status symbol. Not quite a flex, but halfway there.
@raphjd We'd have to get more specific about these laws before I could take a stand either way.
In general I believe in freedom of association, freedom of expression, and having things be 2-way streets.
Freedom of expression - What an athlete wears should be a zero-viewpoint team uniform, then maybe add whatever viewpoint the individual wants. Not forcing them to add the viewpoints of others.
Freedom of association - If a landlord or employer is dumb enough to discriminate against me as a gay, I say let them. They're the idiot. It's on them. I'm a grownup, & tons of other landlords or employers will be better.
BUT - Equal protection - if we do have laws on the books blocking such discrimination, fine, let's enforce them equally on everyone. Don't be selective.
Example: if the law is used to stop a Christian's anti-gay discrimination...... but then is NOT used to stop a Muslim's anti-gay discrimination.... that's just wrong.
Apply same laws equally everywhere.
Likewise, if the law is used to force Christian bakers to make gay wedding cakes, in a spirit of equal application, the law should also force gay bakers to make Christian wedding cakes. I mean, if we're having such petty laws.
That's how I think in general.
Pfizer statement, summarized by their tormentor.
https://twitter.com/Project_Veritas/status/1619426543884976128
"We don't do the thing. Well, we sometimes do the thing... so here's an unnecessarily convoluted word-smithed statement raising even more questions!"
Update - Pfizer statement. Part denial, lots of evasion, part admission.
https://beckernews.com/breaking-pfizer-responds-49213/
Pfizer's denial: "In the ongoing development of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer has not conducted gain of function or directed evolution research."
Seems direct - but it's overly-specific, a 'tell' for lie of omission.
The central question: Is Pfizer doing 'directed evolution' or other intentional virus mutants as it creates new, NEW, NEW (get it?) NEW vaxx?
They evade. By sticking to old vaxx.
I never once hit my wife in 2022! he says. Ok dude but you left out 2021, 2023. See the tactic?
And what about Pfizer's drug efforts?
Pfizer's admission - for its current drug: "With a naturally evolving virus, it is important to routinely assess the activity of an antiviral...[so Pfizer does] mutations of the main protease–a non-infectious part of the virus...In a limited number of cases...virus may be engineered to enable the assessment of antiviral activity in cells. In addition, in vitro resistance selection experiments are undertaken...in our secure Biosafety level 3 (BSL3) laboratory..."
Uh-huh.
Wuhan Institute of Virology was supposed to be safe too.
And 'resistance selection experiments', 'mutations of the main protease', 'virus may be engineered' - but it's not gain of function!!! it's not directed evolution!!!
And what are Pfizer's subcontractors up to?
Some countries, like Israel, allow all kinds of bio(weapon) research. Pfizer is known to be tight with Israel e.g. super-generous vaxx contracts. What partners does Pfizer have there?
And what about 'serial passage', the monkey experiments?
Pfizer's statement fails to cover, ie. fails to deny, a lot of things.
Censorship alive at Youtube, they're taking down these vids. Here's Rumble.
Libs must be in hiding since they didn't post this already.
I wanted to let them.
But ok - Yesterday the police body cam recordings, 9-11 call & suspect interview were released, finally.
Looks like it wasn't a hookup gone wrong, so I was mistaken about that.
Looks like DePape is still a Berkeley-SF hyper-liberal on drugs, so I was right about that.
Being a Berkeley-SF hyper-lib on drugs, accounts for DePape's political violence.
My response to the political issues he identified - namely 2020 election theft & Nancy Pelosi being one of the worst, most horrible political liars of all-time - is to be like Gandhi, 100% non-violent.
Free speech, pointing out the truth, peaceful protest.
The Pelosis must have been shocked to have one of their own voters break in and try - criminally, wrongly - to give consequences for the Pelosis' decades of crime. Could karma be real?
On a human level - Still wishing Paul Pelosi the best recovery & that DePape had never assaulted him. DePape did wrong.
