The government of Japan will no longer request universal masking from March. To coincide with this, the government’s Covid Response Advisory Board put out a document by 25 experts citing evidence for the effectiveness of mask wearing, presumably to justify the last three years of the miserable practice and its return in future viral panics too.
Kutsuna should quit his job and work at a supermarket. I have seen a couple of help wanted signs at a few supermarkets in my area. He doesn't have to delude himself for a paycheck. I do realize there would be a pay cut. He can of course still delude himself and others at the supermarket about food quality and expiration dates. But that would have a lesser effect on the population. I will send him an application. Not by email. By post. I imagine his email account is full with mails calling him a sell out , grifter, schmuck, putz, and the like. On the positive side, I am glad that schmucks like Kutsuna exist. One more person to the list of people we can make fun of. Making fun of people is still legal...
This so-called expert has the words “I am a prostitute” written all over is face. What about talking about dieting instead of universal masking as a preventive measure Mister Kutsuna ?
Fucking traitor. He belongs to the ninth circle of Hell !
Ninth circle of Hell? I would settle for the 8th at this point. That's a good name for a supermarket, The 8th Circle of Hell. Don't you think? On the 8th of every month, customers get to throw canned foods at our special friend.
Speaking of Singapore, they're finally lifting their public transport mask mandate on Monday. They were a favourite of COVID-zero types in Australia, who point to their lower reported death rate (ignoring the fact that their excess deaths are in line with Australia's).
Spain and Germany also lifted their mandates, despite the latter having a particularly neurotic health minister. Japan really stands almost alone at this point.
What the fauci!? Their statement can be summed as “We have no evidence they work but wear them anyway”.
Studies are meaningless unless two post publication steps are successfully undertaken. The first of these is duplication. The second and most important is that the same results must be observable in the wild. After over two year of mask wearing Japan has experienced waves number 7 and 8, bigger than previous waves in terms of numbers of cases AND deaths. How many years must we wait until we are able to observe they wonderful efficacy of masks.
Small correction. The most recent Cochrane review on physical interventions includes 11 new rcts, bring the total in the review to 78. Sorry to be a pedant!
I’m the last person to criticise anyone for being pedantic, but think you’re referring to the following.
“We included 11 new RCTs and cluster‐RCTs (610,872 participants) in this update, bringing the total number of RCTs to 78.”
That is, the previous version in 2020 looked at 67 RCTs. For masks/no masks, they wrote the following.
“We included 12 trials (10 cluster‐RCTs) comparing medical/surgical masks versus no masks to prevent the spread of viral respiratory illness (two trials with healthcare workers and 10 in the community).”
I always make sure to present data correctly, which means post of my post-publication edits are for the various misspellings I make 😂.
Stupid mask fantasies.
Common sense told me from jump, that those things are useless:
Gaps around edges of masks, and mask material stops virions like a chain link fence stops a gnat.
Stupid people making stupid rules.
And plenty of fools to mind them.
OMFG.
This and the reality around. Why Japan had record numbers of infections even though almost everybody from 2 to 100 is masking ?
People should turn off their TV and watch outside throw the window.

Good idea! ;)

That’s because Japan is “Special”.
Aaahhh!! My people! How can I only have found you now in Feb 2023. With love, another numerate gaikokujin
I see I msunderstood you.
Apologies and thanks for the clarification.

And now the gold-standard Cochrane Review puts the cherry on top.
