    The horrors! An eye doctor lies about a subject unrelated to his specialty and his video gets pulled from youtube.

    Why do you say he lied? I've read of several studies of mask usage conducted in pre-covid times which found that many cloth or paper masks provide so little protection as to make their benefit statistically irrelevant. When did it become impolitic to follow the science?

    If cloth masks work so well, why at one time were people being advised to double mask?

    Well what are you going to do about it? If we want to have the ability to manufacture (and stockpile at least for healthcare workers, that also got messed up, but that may have been all Trump) better quality masks, that's policy. The few medical quality mask manufacturers in this country that exist are going bankrupt now. So if the desire is for better quality masks, I'd be concerned about that.

    Of course the desire is just to complain about nothing here, all day long obviously.

    Is that youtube person talking about that and does he actually want us to be more prepared for the NEXT pandemic ... the desire there is most of the time just to grift.

    Attending my local Board of Health meeting this week to comment on the mask mandate for municipal buildings and try to get it repealed.

    I am sure they will give your public health expertise due consideration.

    One Year Later, America’s Mask Supply Chain Is Still Vulnerable
    PPE manufacturers struggle as lawmakers call dependence on foreign supplies a security risk"

    "The mask makers’ plight is part of a larger problem that the U.S. government faces: ensuring a reliable domestic supply of protective gear for the next crisis. At the beginning of the pandemic, imports of personal protective equipment from overseas—which made up almost all of the PPE supply in the U.S.—were disrupted, and doctors and nurses often had to wear the same masks for weeks and plastic bags for protective gowns because of shortages.

    I mean the whole reason that cloth masks EVER became a thing was insufficient supply of medical masks in the U.S.. In many countries they were wearing medical masks all along. Some countries like Germany were requiring them (but maybe not the earliest days of the pandemic either as I don't know if they had them either). Government here did not or could not ramp up production very quickly either with the defense production act (I mean the Trump admin handled the pandemic badly in every which way, but I don't know all the obstacles either, they may extend beyond that). So if the whole problem is cloth masks aren't as effective as medical masks especially N95. Well duh, but this was the root cause.

    I don't expect to win, but I'm not going to give up my rights without protest. I follow in the tradition of many dissidents who stood up against tyrants even when the odds were against them.

    I saw on sale at the gas station "three way protection" in one package - masks, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant spray. They are trying to unload the excess. People are tired of being scared and they aren't buying the stuff much anymore.

    He is an M.D. , just sayin, Not an optometrist. Gives him a little bit more cred in the disease game than, oh I don’t know, – – YOU.

    But the bigger picture is that yeah I think it’s disgusting that YouTube took him down. It is good for his campaign coffers though so there’s that.I just hope he doesn’t play the victim card for too long because that gets very annoying to Iris.

    Today I’m testing Nextdoor with a post that has “ivermectin ivermectin ivermectin” in it as well as a link to an ivermectin and Covid summary from an authoritative source. Waiting to see if Nextdoor will auto bot mod that post.

    The Nextdoor nanny software did ask me when I tried to post it the first time if I really wanted to post it because there might be misinformation in it. I assume “ivermectin “is a stopword on Nextdoor’s list.
