There is no evidence that masks work

Drs. Leslie Bienen, Jeanne Noble and Margery Smelkinson write at UnHerd (emphasis added), “This winter season, the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and Atlantic, among other outlets, have all published articles on the same theme. According to their advice, we should re-don masks to prevent seasonal spread of influenza, RSV, Covid-19 and run-of-the-mill colds. This seems poised to become a yearly occurrence, as with the accompanying post-holiday mandates in some schools, colleges, and elsewhere that these articles actively encourage.

However, while these articles are full of quotations from health officials and disease experts, glaringly absent is high-quality data to support claims that masking reduces spread of circulating seasonal viruses.

The reason for this omission may be that, three years into the pandemic, there are no rigorous studies showing masks to be an effective method of viral infection control. In fact the highest-quality scientific studies, randomised controlled trials (RCTs), show the opposite: that masks make little to no difference in controlling spread of influenza, SARS-CoV-2, or RSV.

In May 2020, the CDC summarised data from 14 RCTs as failing to show a significant benefit of masks in reducing transmission of influenza. An analysis of nine trials conducted by Cochrane, an organisation that conducts large reviews of health-care interventions, reached similar conclusions in November 2020. Studies of masking to prevent common colds and RSV also had negative results."

Is shouting 'fire' in a crowded theater protected free speech?

FIRE’s Nadine Strossen explains, “To the contrary, if the theater is on fire, you not only may shout ‘FIRE,’ but indeed, you should do so! The constant misstatement of this famous line from a 1919 Supreme Court decision is significant, because it overlooks the critical, common-sense distinction between protected and unprotected speech.

Back in 1919, the Supreme Court had not yet begun to meaningfully protect freedom of speech or other constitutional rights. Even today, though, while the Court strongly protects speech, it still allows government to restrict speech when it directly, imminently threatens serious harm — for example, to accurately quote the passage at issue, when someone ‘falsely shout[s] fire in a theatre and caus[es] a panic.’ In stark contrast, when the speech instead helps to prevent such imminent serious harm — for example, when someone truthfully shouts fire in a theater and therefore prompts people to escape — the speech is protected.

This famous but regularly misstated and misunderstood example underscores a key factor in distinguishing protected from punishable speech: The speech must be considered in its overall context. Government usually may not restrict speech solely based on the speech’s content or message — for example, because its content is disapproved or vaguely feared. Rather, government may restrict speech only when, under the circumstances, it directly threatens certain serious imminent harm, which can’t be averted through other measures. For example, government may not punish hate speech solely based on its hateful content. However, government may punish hate speech when, in the specific circumstances, it directly threatens serious imminent harm, such as intentionally inciting imminent violence that is likely to happen imminently.”

'The number one mission of this Congress has to be to stop Biden’s spending binge'

FreedomWorks’ Economic Contributor Stephen Moore has an important message for Republicans in 2023:

“The number one mission of this Congress has to be to stop Biden’s spending binge. There will come a time, sometime within the next year… when you’re going to have a face-off…

Between the Republican Speaker… and Joe Biden. And Biden is going to say ‘oh, you’re going to shutdown the government if you don’t go along with my big spending bills,' and that’s the moment Republicans are going to have to stand firm. It’s saying ‘NO, you Mr. President are putting our country in great financial danger with these massive spending bills.'

If we blink - if our side blinks - I think it’s not just going to be a route for the country but a route against the Republicans.”
