Why can't those faggots let this go?

Why would they? To let it go would be to admit that they gleefully tyrannized the rest of us for literally no reason. And while they know full well that they did precisely that, they don't want to admit it out loud.

Because that would be admitting that they all deserve to be destroyed.

Heretic, you will bend the knee to the High Altar of DaCoof, or you will be destroyed.

It's good that they won't let it go. You can differentiate the normal crazy from the batshit insane this way. Those people deserve all the scorn and if it was according to me actual prison time for the crimes against humanity they have perpetrated.

This one is especially funny as it speaks out against what the "science" has said, when the science does not agree they instantly discard any notion of listening to facts.

admitting fault in one thing brings into question everything else they're coasting on.

Also: They will want to force everyone again when they release whatever they have in store next.

The overselling of the Cochrane study is a classic example of cherry-picking, where biased groups highlight a subset of data that support their position, while ignoring the larger pool of evidence that disagrees with them.

Says the writer who did exactly that in this very article. This is an every day thing for liberals.

Many direct studies in labs show that high-quality masks significantly reduce the number of viral particles mask-wearers inhale and emit, but these are intentionally omitted in the arguments of anti-maskers.

Lab studies with "high quality" masks have nothing to do with the real world practice of people wearing a bacteria infested surgical mask for 8+ hours straight.

I hate these fucking liars with every fiber of my being.

In the op-ed linked to in this op-ed the first study cited says "medical masks were not effective, and cloth masks even less effective" and "respirators, [only] if worn continually during a shift, were effective".

This is called "strong evidence" that face masks work.

Meanwhile the actual study says that the masks people were actually wearing were even less than "not effective".

overselling of the Cochrane study

Easiest read ever to know this article is completely full of shit.

For context, Cochrane studies are meta analyses of other studies to determine their merit. So ofc the MSM is trying to declare it as heresy.

This is awesome. Calling Cochrane biased, anti-maskers, cherry-pickers, etc, is the best thing the Guardian could be doing. Scientists who read this will be throwing up in their mouths and cancelling their subscription.

Your confidence in "scientists" is misplaced. A very large number of them are raging leftists whose thinking is set in stone by their politics.

I have zero confidence in scientists, I have confidence in the fact that when brainwashed leftist scientists read this they will be forced to make an impossible choice. No matter what they choose, freedom wins.

Then, you underestimate the ability of people to find ways to disregard information that is inconvenient to their belief system. No brainwashed leftist scientist will be making any "impossible choices" as a consequence of this article. They will just rationalise it or ignore it.

We use to give out candy, but found masks were a lot more effective for some reason.

The Guardian has been resisting the female menace by advocating in favor of transgenderism tho.

Nah, you are paranoid. They both have bad goals, but your retarded fantasies of MALE GENOCIDE are not goals held by any group.

There is no statement from you demonstrating that your dick was not made from your arm skin.

Never demonstrated it though, because you can't. Or can you show your intact arms?
