 CDC: Masks Don't Work

WHO: Lockdowns Don't Work

Even the so-called experts are admitting the two main liberty-killing policies that the left has been using are worthless strategies against the novel coronavirus that is allegedly behind the scamdemic.

Here's some quotes from the horse's mouths themselves:

First, the CDC:

A Centers for Disease Control report released in September shows that masks and face coverings are not effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19, even for those people who consistently wear them.

A study conducted in the United States in July found that when they compared 154 “case-patients,” who tested positive for COVID-19, to a control group of 160 participants from the same health care facility who were symptomatic but tested negative, over 70 percent of the case-patients were contaminated with the virus and fell ill despite “always” wearing a mask.

“In the 14 days before illness onset, 71% of case-patients and 74% of control participants reported always using cloth face coverings or other mask types when in public,” the report stated.

There's more. 

"The study also demonstrates that under 4 percent of the case-patients became sick with the virus even though they 'never' wore a mask or face covering," The Federalist reported.

Under 4 percent.

Now for the World Health Organization:

Even the WHO is starting to warn about the dangers of a forced shutdown.

 

“We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” WHO’s Special Envoy on COVID-19, David Nabarro, told The Spectator.
Nabarro points to economic fallout around the world as proof the measures do plenty of harm themselves.

 

With a patchwork of differing lockdown restrictions across the world, international travel has taken a major hit. Developing economies that depend on an influx of tourist cash are seemingly some of the worst off, with local businesses now facing a virtually nonexistent travel season.
American small businesses were not spared by lockdown orders either, and now a worrying number appear to be permanently closed.

 This economic devastation trickles down, harming not only those out of work but also the families who depend on them.

“Look what’s happening to poverty levels,” Nabarro said. “It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year. We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition.”

In other words, I've been right all along.
