The Gray Lady (quietly) concedes that masks have zero impact on COVID

And if the NYTimes were a real newspaper, dedicated to the truth, and public good, it would be HEADLINING that "discovery," to get all those STILL wearing masks to TAKE THEM OFF!

After over two years arguing in favor of mask mandates, this morning @nytimes finally acknowledged in an article that the data clearly shows wearing masks, and mask mandates, has had zero statistical impact on covid.

NYT propaganda pushers are getting off way too easy here.. dirtbag manipulators get laid out in lavender by Jeff Childers ~ COVID & Coffee (excellent daily)

Facts are hard to argue with, but corporate media is trying out a new narrative spin on masking. Yesterday, the New York Times ran a timely story headlined, “Why Masks Work, but Mandates Haven’t.” How about that? You CAN have your cake and eat it too.

The Times’ sub-headline asks the question as though it’s the first time anyone ever thought of this before: “Why haven’t Covid mask mandates made much difference?” Why?? So let’s see what the New York Times’ cherry-picked experts came up with.

Setting the table, the Times calls masks a PARADOX: “Dr. Shira Doron, an epidemiologist at Tufts Medical Center, [said] ‘It is simultaneously true that masks work and mask mandates do not work.’” Got that? Got both conflicting ideas in your head at the same time? Paging George Orwell. https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/-coffee-and-covid-wednesday-june?s=r
