The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has delivered the final
blow to the COVID lockdown regime. The new study on the so-called
six-feet apart rule was blown up. The indoor occupancy caps were also
trashed. What about those insanely expensive air filtration units that
teachers want to be installed before they venture out of their caves and
start working again? Not necessary. Open windows, fans blowing, and a
good circulation of fresh air is good enough. It doesn’t matter if
you’re 60 feet away or 6 feet away from someone inside, you’re still at
risk of contracting the virus, even with a mask on. It’s quite a
sledgehammer to the entire Fauci-Democrat-Media COVID panic machine
that’s been working nonstop to keep us in a constant state of fear (via CNBC):
The
risk of being exposed to Covid-19 indoors can be as great at 60 feet as
it is at 6 feet in a room where the air is mixed — even when wearing a
mask, according to a new study by Massachusetts Institute of Technology
researchers who challenge social distancing guidelines adopted across
the world.
MIT professors Martin Z. Bazant, who teaches chemical
engineering and applied mathematics, and John W.M. Bush, who teaches
applied mathematics, developed a method of calculating exposure risk to
Covid-19 in an indoor setting that factors in a variety of issues that
could affect transmission, including the amount of time spent inside,
air filtration and circulation, immunization, variant strains, mask use,
and even respiratory activity such as breathing, eating, speaking or
singing.
Bazant and Bush question long-held Covid-19 guidelines
that recommend 6 feet of distance between people from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention in a peer-reviewed study published
earlier this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science of
the United States of America. They say staying 6 feet away from another
person may not be enough when people are inside for prolonged periods of
time.
“We argue there really isn’t much of a benefit to the
6-foot rule, especially when people are wearing masks” since everyone in
the room is breathing the same air, Bazant said in an interview. “It
really has almost no physical basis because the air a person is
breathing while wearing a mask tends to rise and comes down elsewhere in
the room so you’re more exposed to the average background than you are
to a person at a distance.”
[…]
Opening windows or
installing new fans to keep the air moving could also be just as
effective or more effective than spending large amounts of money on a
new filtration system, he said.
Bazant also says that guidelines
enforcing indoor occupancy caps are flawed. He said 20 people gathered
inside for one minute is probably fine, but not over the course of
several hours, he said.
Small, poorly ventilated spaces where a lot of people spend a lot of time together places people at the most risk, he said.
So, the jury on masks is still out. We’ve known this for a bit. Even The New York Times did a story about a mass study in Denmark about masks and their effectiveness in curbing the spread of COVID. It was negligible.
The media has annoyingly pointed out maskless events. It’s not a shield
folks. I know; I wore a mask and still contracted COVID last November.
Now, with three vaccines, over 100 million shots administered, tens of
millions of kids who generally don’t get COVID or spread it, and the
millions more who have acquired natural immunity—we’re near herd
immunity. Also, it’s not really required to wear masks after
vaccination. To suggest otherwise is science fiction and double masking
is just an exercise in political theater. Members of Congress are all
vaccinated. President Joe Biden is vaccinated. They all wear masks in a
nauseating display of anti-science theater.
Fox News host Tucker
Carlson went even further, ripping this year-long Halloween as akin to
wearing Kim Jong-un pins from North Korea. It’s promoted because it’s a
sign of political obedience. He noted that the only people who still
wear masks voluntarily are the neurotic and the zealots. (via Fox News):

Masks
on a tennis court. Future generations will mock us for this, but we
allowed it. We let power-drunk politicians wreck our country in exchange
for promising to protect us from a virus that 99 percent of us would
have survived anyway. What were we thinking? Masks have always been
incompatible with a free society. We used to know that. Masks strip
people of their identity as individuals. Mask transform people from
citizens into drones. They isolate us. They alienate us. They shut us
off from one another. They prevent intimacy and human contact. If I
can’t see your face, I can’t know you. Masks are for the guilty. They’re
signifiers of shame and submission. Until recently, many jurisdictions
had laws against wearing masks in public. Only Klansmen and armed
robbers wore masks. The rest of us showed our faces. We were free
people.
But then we gave in to the demands of people like Eric
Garcetti, and because we did give in, this grotesque version of
Halloween went on for more than a year. It’s still going on.
But
not even Tony Fauci pretends that masks are medically necessary.
Instead, they’re now purely a sign of political obedience, like Kim Il
Sung pins in Pyongyang. We wear them because we have to. The only people
who wear masks voluntarily outside are zealots and neurotics. How
neurotic are they?
Well, we know. A Pew survey from last March
found that sixty-four percent of white Americans who classify themselves
as "liberal" or "very liberal" have been diagnosed with an actual
mental health condition.
Well, that is fitting; liberalism is a mental disorder.
