Mask makers knew they don't work which is why they put warning labels on boxes.

If you catch covid don't sue us we told you they don't work

And yet countries that used Masks distancing and isolation had much less covid deaths. Maybe it was the label on the box that didn't work.

Germany had N95 mask mandates how did they compare to Sweden?

If masks worked you would expect to see a huge difference.

Wonder what difference a 400% bigger population with the associated greater population density makes ?

Most fact checking is accurate.

Fact checking would be less needed if the Right occasionally used some facts.

Yes the vast majority of genuine fact checks get it right.

except when you don't agree with it Wink

Dr Campbell has probably forgotten more than what old boomers like you know.

And yet he did not credit Tedros with the same and instead took a swipe at him by describing him as an Ethiopian politician.

I think Campbell has become a media whore and quasi-politician - becoming more concerned about his approval ratings than ethics or honesty.

That, and his self-obsession with being the single-handed, messianic 'saviour of the world'.

Codgerism at its worst.

Dr Campbell has a degree in Biology and a masters in medical science.

No.

A masters in health science, not medical science.

But let's get to the "Dr" bit - is he a doctor of medicine or did he receive a Ph.D. for his work on developing methods of teaching via digital media such as online videos?

I'm curious.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

International scientists who examined previously unavailable genetic data from samples collected at a market close to where the first human cases of COVID-19 were detected in China said they found suggestions the pandemic originated from animals, not a lab.

The samples were collected from surfaces at the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan after the first human cases of COVID-19 were found in late 2019.

Genetic sequencing data showed that some of the samples, which were known to be positive for the coronavirus, also contained genetic material from raccoon dogs, indicating the animals may have been infected by the virus, according to the scientists.

So they found the corona virus in animals at the market at the time the corona virus started infecting people.

This is possible but this has been known since 2021 and never confirmed to be true.
