Crushing COVID Claims: Scientific Review Challenges ‘Fact’ That Masks Reduced Transmissions – Turley (re: Cochrane Study)
My interest in the story, as usual, focuses on free speech.
Numerous experts were suspended or banned for challenging these very claims and the media labeled any such critics as dangerous or fringe figures.
Regardless of your ultimate conclusions on the efficacy of masks, there was clearly a scientific basis to challenge the mask policies. Yet, many people were routinely censored on Twitter and other platforms for daring to challenge the official position on masks.
We never had a serious debate because of the government-corporate-media alliance to snuff out dissenting views on pandemic policies. The result may have been avoidable emotional, economic, and social harm to the population as a whole.
