Facts Are Facts

 
“Just the Facts, Ma’am”

Back on December 29, 2018 I published a Blog Posting in which I referred My Dear Readers to a Web Site that always strives to give us the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth. It is named “Just Facts...Seize the Data”. Its link is https://www.justfacts.com.

Some of us are Mental Midgets and those of us who are (certainly not you and hopefully not me) get upset at Truth when it turns out to be other than what we think Truth Is or think it Ought To Be. Now we hear people say they believe we have our Truth and they have their Truth. That’s Foolishness. There can only be One Truth.

Today I am going to refer you to an article in Just Facts that is going to tell you the Truth about Face Masks. Some of you just got your backs up at the last sentence because you feel Safe behind your Face Masks and you don’t want to be told that you are not Safe behind your Face Masks. That, My Dear Readers, does not mean you are Safe.

The Just Facts article I am talking about has 20,271 words in it. If you want to read each and every word for yourself, you will find the link to those 20,271 words in the Lagniappe below.

************

I will digress at this point in this not-foolish Foolishness...Or Is It? Blog Posting and give some of you a computing lesson in Microsoft Word.

If you are finding it hard to believe that I counted all those words, you would be correct in that disbelief because I did not count those 20,271 words.

Here is the computing lesson: If you highlight all the words in any article and paste them into a blank Word Document, Word will count the words and show the total word count in the lower left corner of the Word Document.

If you did not know this until now, you learned something. If you already knew this, you just wasted your time reading 127 words that you did not have to read.

************

I apologize that this Blog Posting is getting to be so long but I do think this is important.

Just Facts probably was aware that their article was too long so they summarized it at the end of their too-long article. This Blog Posting will finish up with that summary.

If the summary tells you facts that are not what you believe, don’t get mad at me. Get mad at Just Facts and ignore their Facts but know you are doing that ignoring at your own peril.

(“CDC” stands for Center for Disease Control and “WHO” stands for World Health Organization)

Summary

With remarkable consistency, the comprehensive facts detailed above prove that:     

•          Governments enacted mask mandates based on the false assumption that Covid-19 is mainly transmitted by large droplets that are bigger than the pore sizes of most masks and only remain airborne for a few seconds.
•         Covid-19 is mainly spread by microscopic aerosols that remain airborne for minutes or hours, easily penetrate common masks, and travel freely through gaps around their edges.
•         The CDC and WHO minimized the threat of aerosol transmission for more than a year while issuing guidelines that left people vulnerable to this mortal danger.
•         The CDC and WHO finally admitted that aerosols pose a major threat of transmission but tried to cover their tracks and failed to adequately update their guidelines—thus allowing countless preventable deaths to continue to this day.
•         UV disinfection systems are highly effective at killing airborne viruses and have been successfully used to control the spread of contagious respiratory diseases for more than 80 years.
•         The strongest and most relevant studies have found inconsistent benefits from N95 masks in healthcare settings and no statistically significant benefits from any type of mask in community settings.
•         The CDC is scraping the bottom of the scientific barrel by cherry picking and distorting low-quality and unrealistic studies to support the claim that masks control the spread of C-19.
•         Masks of all types, and especially N95s, cause headaches, difficulty breathing, increased cardio-pulmonary stress during exercise, marked discomfort, and weakened social bonds.
•         The average CO2 concentrations inhaled by people wearing masks are far above what many governments permit for indoor settings, and this may impair certain high-level brain functions like initiative, strategic thinking, and complex decision-making.
•         Google/YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter are acting as a megaphone of the deadly falsehoods propagated by the CDC and WHO while silencing their critics.

What Confuses Me Is Why Are They So Determined To Confuse Me

 

If you are in deep trouble, you go Bankrupt. I understand that. That does not Confuse me.

Here is where I get Confused...

After Some of These Bankrupted Firms Go Bankrupt, They Do Things That Do Not Fit Into My Understanding of Bankruptcy

OK, I’ll stop trying to Confuse you and explain why I’m Confused...

Ø A few years ago K-Mart went bankrupt, and the next time I Turned Around, K-Mart bought out Sears.

Ø Four months ago Hertz Rent A Car went bankrupt and the next time I Turned Around I read this...

Hertz Amps Up With Groundbreaking Tesla Deal

Rental car giant Hertz was a shell of its former self before emerging from bankruptcy earlier this year, but on Monday it flashed the latest sign of a rapid turnaround by placing an order for 100,000 pricey new Teslas to add to its fleet.

I wonder how many CEO’s of other companies that are doing well, selling lots of stuff and making lots of money are lying awake at night thinking...

 I Sure Wish I Could Figure Out How I Could Go Bankrupt! If I did Fella Just Might Write About Me In His Next Blog Posting!

I know what! I’ll Stop Turning Around and then I won’t be so confused...Or will I be?

When We Were Young We Were Young

 

I did it again. It was a very simple everyday thing and I noticed it and, before I knew what happened, this avalanche of Foolishness came flowing out of Fertile Silly Mind.

There was this little boy in front of me in line at the grocery store and he was talking. That’s all I needed to come up with this Blog Posting. I could not stop the Fertile Silly Flow from flowing. I started thinking...

That Is A Very Squeaky Sounding Sound His Little Voice Is Making. Then I Thought What If That Squeaky Voice Never Changed? 

Ø Would Alexander the Great have ever become Great if he had a Squeaky Adult Voice like that?

Ø Would the Board of Directors go right on throwing paper airplanes if their CEO was addressing them using a Squeaky Adult Voice like that?

Ø Would Pavarotti have spent his life standing on a street corner with a tin cup if he had a Squeaky Adult Voice like that?

Ø Would the soldiers be scattered all over the drill field bumping into each other, statues and flag poles if their Burly Drill Sergeant had a Squeaky Adult Voice like that?

The Squeaky Wheel may get the grease but Alexander The Not So Great, Corporate CEOs, Fat Opera Singers and Burly Drill Sergeants would get Snickers and would be Ignored by all those close enough to hear their Squeaky Adult Voices.

The Kingston Trio Told Us They Were Rioting In Africa

It Is Not Being Reported In The Nightly News Shows But They Are Still Rioting In Portland.

Here are 6 excerpts from the article link you will find posted at the bottom of this Blog Posting...

#1...Portland has been an area of lawlessness for the past 18 months, to include an all-time high in homicides and over 1,000 shootings.

#2...Recent law changes forced Portland police to stand by on October 12, 2021 and watch as a mob of approximately 100 rioters tore through the downtown area causing over $500,000 in damages.

#3...The violent anarchists set dumpsters ablaze, blocked off roadways, smashed out storefront windows, and spray painted Antifa and anti-police messages such as “KILL COPS” and “RIOTS WORK” throughout the downtown corridor.

#4...By the time the rioters finally dispersed at about 11 p.m., they’d wreaked havoc on at least 35 separate locations, including retail stores, banks, government buildings, and coffee shops, the Portland Police Bureau said.

#5...According to a public statement by Portland police’s Lt. Jake Jensen, they did not intervene because of Oregon House Bill 2928 and the restrictions placed on law enforcement in a crowd-control environment.

#6...No arrests were made.

************

Fella to the Rescue...

I could offer to help Portland Police handle their predicament by explaining to them that...

When a crowd is in the process of doing an estimated $500,000 of damage to 35 locations, including banks, retail stores, coffee shops, and government buildings in less than two hours, this is a situation that requires the Police To Do Something and standing by and watching cannot be classified as Doing Something.

The police should invite the Mayor of Portland to join them in their Crowd Control Efforts. On second thought, maybe this is not such sage advice. Here are some of the problems that could arise when Hiz Honor is taken along...

Ø The Mayor will probably spend his time shouting at the policemen as they try to stop the damage saying things like: “Don’t you dare arrest that poor child with the mask on! Just because he was holding a Molotov Cocktail and trying to light it on fire does not mean he intends to throw it in an attempt to contribute to tonight’s estimated $500,000 of damage to 35 locations, including banks, retail stores, coffee shops, and government buildings!”

Ø The Mayor will probably spend his time on patrol with the police taking pictures of whatever the police try to do to stop the damage in order to fire the police that tried to stop the damage the next day when he gets back into hiz office.

Ø The Mayor will probably be heard shouting at the policemen things like, “Stop trying to take the mask off of that young woman who just hit you over your head with that big stick! She has a right to keep her identity a secret! It’s in the Constitution that rioters should not be forced to identify themselves! It’s a Sacred Right of Privacy which our Founding Fathers held dear!”

All of this, My Dear Readers, is an example of what has come to be known as The Portland Way...

If Police Interference stops a Riot before the Rioters are Finished Rioting there has, in fact, been no Riot. It is then automatically classified as a Peaceful Fiery Protest.

Lagniappe: To get a photo to use in this Blog Posting I searched on "COVID-19 Photos". Of course, I got back many links. The one I chose (where I found Mona Covid) was entitled, "9,000+ Best Covid Photos" Can you believe it? ... 9,000+! Wow!
