The remarks of Sen. Ed Markey, who led the charge against Vance's bill, made it clear that the Democrats will bring back mask mandates and scare tactics to accomplish their goals: "[I]f in the opinion of public health officials, strategies can be adopted using masks that reduced the likelihood that more will die, we should give them that freedom to make those decisions.
" Vance refuted the claim that masks reduce COVID transmission when he introduced his bill: It's not just that masks, according to randomized, controlled studies do no good.
Vance's reasoning is perfectly sound, of course, and if the Democrats favored masking for health reasons his bill would have easily passed by unanimous consent.
During the same week that they killed Sen. Vance's bill, Senate Democrats also blocked a bill introduced by Sen. Rand Paul that would have banned vaccine and mask mandates for Senate pages.
Rosemary Hills Elementary School in Silver Spring, Maryland, has implemented a "Temporary" mask mandate.
United Health Services in Binghamton, New York, has revived its mask mandate for employees, patients, and guests.
As Bret Stephens wrote in the New York Times last February, the Cochrane meta-study was "Based on 78 randomized controlled trials, six of them during the Covid pandemic, with a total of 610,872 participants in multiple countries." Stephens pointed out that government health "Experts" and the media mask cult began attacking the study immediately after it was published.
