N-95 Protection Lie Gets Debunked as Study Finds Them No More Effective Than Surgical Masks
“Similarly, a Danish study of 6000 showed there’s no difference between a surgical mask and not wearing a mask,” reported Dr. Peterson Pierre.
“And please, please, please β stop masking your kids. It’s harmful to them. It is better to teach them to make decisions based on logic and not make decisions based on fear.”

Researchers Decry Censorship in COVID Policy During Meeting With Gov. DeSantis
Michelle Utter, a health care worker and single mother of grown sons who are active-duty military, said she was in great physical shapeβrunning, working out, and martial artsβuntil she took the Pfizer vaccine for COVID.
Utter described the ordeal sheβs been through for the last two yearsβphysically, trying to do her job and facing resistance and silencing from the Florida hospital that employs her. Sheβs not allowed to say, βvaccine injury.β Sheβs been on IV infusions for 17 months.
Another vaccine victim, Steven Ordonia, a retired law enforcement officer and military veteran, talked about his ordeal, which began when he received the Pfizer booster shot in December 2021.
βAnd from that day on, my life has been turned upside down,β with numerous trips to the emergency room, joint pain, muscle twitching, and convulsions.
βI was convinced at the time I was having a mental breakdown, and thatβs what was causing all the symptoms. I contemplated suicide several times.β
As a reminder to all that public health policy has real consequences, the two spoke at a round table on Dec. 13 led by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
The governor convened a panel of expertsβprimarily researchers who had tried to warn about problems with the vaccinesβand launched a grand jury investigation into vaccine problems and how they were dealt with or covered up.
The researchers will sit on the stateβs new Public Health Integrity Committee.
Researcher after researcher talked about how the public health establishment suppressed information: that the vaccines often donβt pass risk-benefit analysis. How sometimes-fatal myocarditis has emerged as a side effect. How the vaccinesβ rates of complications were far higher than those of most approved vaccines. How countries like Denmark, rather than mandating children take the vaccine,Β now donβt allow them to take it. How lower COVID mortality among vaccine users is often offset by higher mortality from other causes.
They, DeSantis and Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo excoriated a medical establishment that, in DeSantisβ words, βwanted to just cocoon themselves from any criticism, and to try to denigrate anybody that had a different way of thinking.β
βLargest Blunder in Human Historyβ
βI donβt think itβs an exaggeration to say that all decision-making surrounding COVID amounts to the largest blunder in human history,β said Bret Weinstein, a former evolutionary biology professor at Evergreen State College.


βI think the major problem has been that β¦ people, regular people, scientists, whoever thinks that thereβs something really different than the narrative, youβre gonna get destroyed,β said Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford Medical School public health professor.
βThatβs happened over and over again, even for very prominent scientists,β he said.
βA lot of the censorship thatβs happened of scientific discussion comes from the top.β
Bhattacharya and another round table participant, Martin Kulldorff, were two of the three lead authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, signed by over 60,000 doctors and researchers, plus 870,000 others. Made public in October 2020, signers decried the harm of the lockdown.
They urged, until a vaccine became available, a policy of βFocused Protectionβ: isolating those at greatest risk while allowing others to go about their lives, acquiring natural and herd immunity.
It called for the resumption of everyday life for most people, said basic hygiene like routine handwashing and staying home when sick were sufficient community measures, and described how the vulnerable, such as the elderly, could be best protected at home and in nursing homes.
The declaration was targeted immediately by the head of the NIH, Francis Collins, with βa devastating takedown of the premises of the declaration,β Bhattacharya said.
βThe federal officials were working to suppress what they called misinformation, but actually what they suppress is scientific discussion.β
Emergency Room Physician
Joseph Fraiman, an emergency room physician in what he termed βCajun countryβ in Louisiana, said that he and six fellow researchers studied βserious adverse eventsβ associated with the vaccines, events the manufacturers themselves defined.
βAnd what I mean by serious is that youβre either hospitalized, or you were permanently disabled, or dead,β he said.
They wanted to look at them with βa magnifying glassβ because the manufacturers βoriginally reported that there was no harm, there was no serious harm to the vaccines.β
What they found, Fraiman said, βis that there are more of these types of events in the vaccine group than in the non-vaccine, the placebo group.β
βTo our surprise, in the Pfizer trial, the first vaccine to go through it was a 37 percent increase in the number of serious adverse events. That was never reported, not by the FDA, not by Pfizer,β he said.
βIn fact, Pfizer saysβI may get it wrong verbatimβbut they said that the incidence of serious adverse events are similar in the vaccine and placebo groups. Thirty-seven percent is not similar. Itβs actually statistically significantly different.β
And, βit turns out in both Pfizer and Moderna, we had a one in 800 risk of serious adverse eventsβ from the list.
Other vaccines, Fraiman said, have a one in one million or one in two million risk. βOne in 800 is disastrous, if true.β
Most people, if they contract COVID now, donβt have a one in 800 chance of being hospitalized, he said.

Researchers with different areas of specialty talked about their findings, perspectives, and experiences, trying to publicize what theyβd found.
Ladapo discussed a small, preliminary study in Florida comparing all-cause mortality with cardiac mortality after COVID vaccination. They found two remarkable things: a markedly increased risk of cardiac death in young men, specifically in that age and group, and a failure by most public health officials to acknowledge it.
Christine Stabell Benn, a Danish doctor and researcher at the University of Southern Denmark who videoconferenced in, said the vaccines appear to have βnonspecific eventsββgreater risk of infection by other diseases.
βIf weβve only studied its effect against the target disease, we also need to study its effect against other diseases and its effects on overall mortality and morbidity,β she said.
βI was very concerned when we started recommending vaccines for everybody because I simply didnβt think that the vaccines have been investigated thoroughly enough for nonspecific events. In fact, they havenβt been investigated (at all) for nonspecific events,β she said.
βThis means that particularly for children and young people who werenβt at a high risk for COVID-19, I was concerned that nonspecific effects might outweigh or exceed β¦ the benefits achieved from the specific protection against COVID-19.β
Danish public health policyΒ now only recommends booster COVID vaccinations to those over 50 except those at severe risk, and immunization of children has stopped altogether.
As of a few weeks ago, she said, COVID is now regarded in Denmark like any other respiratory disease. βItβs really nice to be here (in Denmark),β she said. βLife goes on as it used to do before COVID. Nobody pays attention to COVID-19 anymore.β
βDisregarded Basic Principlesβ
Kulldorff, on leave from Harvard and a fellow at Hillsdale Collegeβs Academy for Science & Freedom, said, βI agree with Dr. Weinstein that our approach to this pandemic is the biggest public health mistake in history β¦ We basically disregarded basic principles of public health.β
He and others who wrote the Great Barrington Declaration argued for a different approach: better-focused protection for high-risk old people while keeping schools open and not locking down the rest of society.
βI think now, over two years later, we have been proven right. Florida and Sweden were two exceptions to the strategy, and both Sweden and Florida have come out on top when it comes to both COVID mortality and, even more importantly, to all-cause mortality,βΒ Kulldorff said.
Sweden has among the lowest rates in Europe. βI think itβs very tragic what we have gone through by mismanaging this pandemic so thoroughly.β

Weinstein discussed the high personal cost of his dissent from COVID orthodoxy.
YouTube shut down his channel, and two videosβone featuring an inventor of mRNA technology and the other with an expert on treating COVIDβwere removed. βThey knocked out more than half of our family income inside of a single hour,β he said.
βThere was a radical inversion of the normal medical order of things in this pandemic,β Weinstein said.
βThe relationship between doctor and patient is essentially an intimate, sacred relationship. And what happened here is that there was a coup, in which what was swapped in place of that relationship was public health wisdom from bureaucrats,β he said.
βAnd the problem is that, had we not done anything coordinated with COVID, we would have learned clinically how to treat it. Doctors would have followed hunches. They would have tried things out. They would have discovered what worked and what didnβt. They would have talked to each other, and we would have gotten good at treating COVID.
βInstead, what happened was the policy came down from on high, instantaneously, and fully formed. And then that policy was protected with these draconian censorship measures. With slander.β
The system wasted the narrow window of time when it might have contained the virusβ spread.
βSo, at this point, we have millions needlessly dead. We have trillions of dollars of wealth that have been destroyed, and the vital systems that humanity depends on have been stressed to their very limit. But worse than that, we have now made this virus into a permanent fellow traveler of humanity.β
βAfraid to Speak Upβ
Bhattacharya said he had been accused of being a fringe epidemiologist.
βThe illusion is that there was a scientific consensus, that everybody, all the smart people, agreed. But actually, that was never true. The censorship was used to create that illusion of consensus,β he said.
He called out U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, who put in place a policy to identify misinformation online and then gave out instructions for suppressing it to media and social media companies.

βYou canβt have good public health policy in this kind of environment,βΒ Bhattacharya said.
βPeople are afraid to speak up β¦ Even qualified people are afraid to say no because theyβre afraid that theyβll also get called βfringe.β Theyβll lose their ability to make a living, theyβll lose their reputation, and they stay silent as a result. Scientists always disagree with each other.β
Tracey Hoeg, a physician and epidemiologist at UC San Francisco, talked about how the California Medical Board got a bill through the legislature βtelling physicians what they are and arenβt allowed to say to their patients, and thatβs specifically related to COVID.β
DeSantis said, βThe rule of thumb for us in Florida is whatever they do (in California), we do the opposite.β
His administration plans to move through Floridaβs upcoming legislature a bill βthat actually protects physiciansβ First Amendment rights, and it protects their right to dissent from orthodoxy and from the establishment.β
Loss of Trust
βThereβs been a tremendous loss of trust in public health,β said Steven Templeton, an immunology and microbiology professor at Indiana University School of Medicine.
βFewer people are getting traditional vaccines,β he said.
βThis isnβt just, you know, anti-vax people. This is people who really lost trust in the system.β

Fraiman interjected that parents listening to the round table should not apply what they heard about the COVID vaccines to most other vaccines, which have nearly no side effects.
DeSantis listed various actions Florida had taken against federal lockdown policy and preserving individual rights.
One event highlighting the systemβs corruption for him, he said, happened early on, in the spring of 2020. People were being told to stay home, and Florida, which didnβt follow that policy, had people going to the beach and playing golf.
βIf you left your house, youβre almost like a bad person,β DeSantis said of the lockdown rules.Β βUntil you started to have the George Floyd protests. And you had massive numbers of people that are meeting to protest.
βAnd these public health people wrote a letter, which like hundreds, maybe thousands of them signed, saying, βyes, we donβt think you should be leaving your house normally, but we endorse the protest,β and basically said it was important that people went out even in big groups and protested.β
But they wouldnβt endorse other protests such as those against lockdowns, DeSantis said. βIf that just didnβt take the mask off and just show, you know, that this is all a huge political farce,β he said.
βThey have totally squandered any type of confidence or goodwill that people would have.β
