Debunking COVID Myths:
Studies, data, and facts about masks, lockdowns, and more
Skip ahead to Masks | Skip ahead to Lockdowns
THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT STATS THAT THE MEDIA HAS SWEPT UNDER THE RUG:
1. Children in general are at extremely low risk of dying of COVID.
2. Healthy people (of all ages) are an additional 94% less likely to die of COVID.
THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T RUN OUT AND GET YOUR HEALTHY CHILD VACCINATED:
Only about 75 (and possibly even less) healthy children have died of COVID during the entire pandemic!
BREAKING: 3/30/2023 -- The politicized World Health Organization FINALLY agrees with what we have been saying for 3 long years! COVID vaccines are not needed for healthy kids and teens! They also finally admit that healthy adults don't need to keep getting boosters.
BREAKING: 7/18/2023 -- The far-left-wing NY Times finally admits that COVID death stats were inflated by 30% (after the media relentlessly dismissed the idea as a 'conspiracy theory').
BELOW: According to the CDC, only 1,257 out of 77 million kids age 18 and younger have died of COVID.
It is critically important to note that this stat does NOT separate the healthy from the unhealthy (those with at least one serious comorbidity such as leukemia, diabetes, obesity, etc). These 'COVID deaths' may also be inflated by 70%.
So, what happens when we separate the unhealthy from the healthy (no comorbidities)? The CDC either does not provide this stat anymore or they obscure it (probably to ramp up fear in parents in order to induce them to vaccinate their kids). But, in September 2020 the CDC quietly reported that about 94% of all people who had died from COVID-19 in the US also had other contributing conditions listed on their death certificates (leukemia, diabetes, obesity, etc). Only 6% of deaths listed COVID-19 as the only cause. And so, if we multiply 1,257 times 0.06 we arrive at 75.42. Therefore, as of 5/28/2022, it is fair to estimate that only about 75 healthy children have died of COVID since the onset of the pandemic. There are 73.1 million children under the age of 18 in the US. If we count 18-year-olds, this raises the figure to about 77 million. Around 3,900 Americans ages 1 to 19 died from vehicle crashes in just 2020 alone. 3,700 died in 2021. So, close to 9,000 children (0 - 19) have died of car accidents during the entire pandemic, compared with 75 healthy children dying of COVID. We never banned use of automobiles in response!
Keep in mind that an estimated 372 children age 0 through 17 died of the flu in 2018 alone. Furthermore, the health status of these kids is not reported. How many of these 372 kids had leukemia, were obese, diabetic, etc? Schools were never shut down. There was never a mass hysteria push to vaccinate kids from the flu.
Chart below: Old but important data.
NOTE: The above chart is based on CDC data from February 2, 2020 until only August 22, 2020, and therefore is antiquated. Since then, new treatments have emerged that reduce the odds of death, such as monoclonal antibodies (70% reduction in deaths). The Pfizer pill alone has been shown to be 89% effective at preventing death (and hospitalization). Also, newer strains of the virus are less deadly. Various data suggests that Omicron is 50% to 91% less virulent. Thus, the current risk is certainly lower than stated above.
UPDATE: March 23, 2022 - Puffing up the data in the early days of COVID? In the dead of the night, the CDC reduced the official number of "COVID deaths" by 72,000. Included was a 416 reduction in pediatric deaths -- that's a whopping 24% reduction in deaths in people up to the age of 18.
UPDATE: Study finds the infection fatality rate (IFR) for people 0 - 19 at 0.0003% or 3 out of 1,000,000. For people 20 to 29 years at 0.003% or 3 out of 100,000. For people 30 to 39 years at 0.011% or 1.1 out of 10,000. For people 40 to 49 years at 0.035% or 3.5 out of 10,000. For people 50 to 59 years at 0.129% or 1.3 out of 1,000. For people 60 to 69 years at 0.501% or 1 out of 200. These stats comingle the unhealthy (comorbidities) with the healthy. To find out the IFR for people with no comorbidities, multiply times 0.06. Example: This puts the death rate for healthy children during the pandemic at 0.000018%.
UPDATE: KHN reports that for Florida children age 14 and younger, the COVID-19 mortality rate is 0.009%. This figure lumps the healthy in with the unhealthy. This makes the flu more deadly to children, at 0.01%. If we apply the CDC's statistic that 94% of COVID deaths occurred in people with at least 1 comorbidity, then the odds of a healthy Florida child dying if they get COVID is just 0.00054%.
UPDATE: Confirmed by UK study. Children are really, really, really unlikely to die from Covid-19.
BELOW: Study finds omicron variant to be 91% less deadly.
FACT: According to the CDC, 75% of COVID deaths occurred in people with at least 4 comorbidities.
FACT: According to CDC data to August 22, 2020, 94% of COVID deaths occurred in people with at least 1 comorbidity.
FACT: Risk of dying from a COVID vaccine is 170 times greater than from a flu vaccine, according to VAERS.
FACT: Risk of adverse reaction from COVID vaccine is 56 times greater than flu vaccine.
FACT: Fake ER Doctors on Twitter claimed hordes of patients were dying of COVID daily.
Number of Americans who have had at least one vaccine shot: 257,846,006 or 78% of the population as of 6/18/2022 [data]
Number of Americans who have gotten a booster shot: 102,232,228 or 31% of the population as of 6/18/2022
Number of vaccinated Americans who are eligible but have not gotten a booster shot: 85 million (35%) as of 1/26/2022.
Number of American who have not gotten any vaccine shot: 63 million or 19.28% as of 1/26/2022.
CDC reported deaths after vaccination: *21,002 deaths according to VAERS as of Dec 24, 2021. [12/24/2021, 12/10/2021, 11/26/2021, 11/15/2021]
Estimated actual deaths from vaccines: Over 150,000 killed based on Columbia University study.
Odds of reported death following getting vaccinated (based on CDC's VAERS data): *1 in 11,933 (across all age groups and health status)
Odds of death following getting vaccinated (estimated by Columbia University): 1 in 1,610 (across all age groups and health status. Does not include added risk of permanent disabilities, serious injuries, hospitalizations)
*VAERS is a voluntary system that is subject to underreporting. What percentage of adverse events go unreported? According to a CDC study “VAERS sensitivity for capturing anaphylaxis after seven different vaccines ranged from 13 to 76%; sensitivity for capturing Guillain-Barre Syndrome after three different vaccines ranged from 12 to 64%.” That means that as many as 8 times as many of these adverse events may have gone unreported. Historically, VAERS has vastly under-ascertained deaths.
*The counter-argument is coincidence. For example, in the US, 2.85 million people died in 2019. That's 7,800 deaths per day. That's over 100,000 every 13 days. Inevitably some people will just happen to die shortly after getting vaccinated.
USA baby death count after vaccination: 2,620 (1,965) deaths as of 11/20/2021 according to VAERS.

Natural immunity is better than the vaccine - Just 72 out of 7,700 new cases (since May 2021) of COVID were reported in people who were known to have had COVID previously. That's less than 1% of the new cases. Nearly 40% of new COVID patients were vaccinated. So why are they telling everyone to get vaccinated? If you previously got COVID, then you really don't need any vaccine.
Natural immunity as effective as the vaccine - Translation: There is no need to get vaccinated if you were previously infected by the virus. This, according to even the far-left Cleveland Clinic.
Healthy children at virtually zero, if not zero-risk of COVID - Only 335 children under 18 have died with a Covid diagnosis code in their record, and we don't even know whether Covid caused the death or if it involved a pre-existing medical condition.

If lockdowns work, then why haven't they worked?
Lockdowns and masks: The science is settled. They don't work.
Lockdowns: Johns Hopkins University finds lockdowns in the US and Europe only reduced COVID deaths by statistically insignificant 0.2%.
Lockdowns: NY, Calif. failed in handling of COVID — but Florida was among best: study
Lockdowns: The far-left-wing NY Times finally admits that lockdowns did not make a major difference in COVID case rates.

Lockdowns: Lockdowns have no clear benefit vs other voluntary measures. Peer-reviewed study, conducted by researchers affiliated with Stanford University analyzed coronavirus case growth in 10 countries in early 2020.
Lockdowns: According to even the left-wing World Health Organization, lockdown orders cannot curb the spread of the coronavirus. According to David Nabarro, MS, MBBS, a medical doctor and Special Envoy on Covid-19 for the WHO, "The ONLY time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your RESOURCES, protect your health workers who are exhausted." Notice how he does not recognize shutdowns as a means of actually stopping spread of the virus. He says that lockdowns make "poor people an awful lot poorer." The WHO also says that economic damage from the lockdown policies is UNSUSTAINABLE.
Lockdowns: Don't appear to have saved lives.
Lockdowns: Health officials finally admit (after the election) that schools should never have been shut down.
Lockdowns: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo flip flops, saying "We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass – the cost is too high." Cuomo's lockdowns have cost the state $15 billion.
Lockdowns of Outdoor Dining: There is no scientific study to link outdoor dining with spread of coronavirus. The Los Angeles County Health Department was unable to provide any evidence in court.
“The decision to include among other sectors [in lockdown], outdoor dining, and limiting that, really has to do with the goal of trying to keep people at home -- not a comment on the relative safety of outdoor dining” -- California Health and Human Services Agency Secretary Mark Ghaly, while under oath in court
"We don’t have the data to pinpoint with any type of accuracy whether it’s this versus that [whether outdoor dining, factories, thanksgiving dinner, etc]." -- Dr. Kirsten Bibbins Domingo, PhD, MD, MAS, Professor of Epidemiology & Biostatistics
Lockdown of Schools: "If you look at the data, the spread among children and from children is not really very big at all, not like one would have suspected. So let’s try to get the kids back" -- Anthony Fauci, 11/29/2020
Lockdowns: Now that Biden is taking office, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot flip flops! Now wants to reopen restaurants and bars ‘As quickly as possible’ to reduce risk of underground parties. Translation: Lockdowns never worked!
Lockdowns: Shutting down outdoor dining may contribute to the spread of the virus.
Lockdowns: Lockdowns may have no clear benefits vs other voluntary measures.
Lockdowns: Could kill 1.2 million children globally.
Lockdowns: Lockdowns increased deaths.
If masks work, then why haven't they worked?
“Seriously people – STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing the general public from catching Coronavirus” -- Dr. Jerome Adams, Surgeon General
“We know that wearing a mask outside of health care facilities offers little, if any protection from infection” - New England Journal of Medicine
“From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual.” -- The World Health Organization's top infectious disease epidemiologist, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove
Video demonstration on how aerosol cannot be stopped by masks
Theories about masks, laboratory tests, and 'models' are all a red herring if masks don't actually work in practice. Actual real world data is the final arbiter of whether masks work or not. The data is clear that masks have NOT worked....
ONE CHART SUMMARIZES THE USELESSNESS OF MASK MANDATES:
ABOVE: The virus is gonna 'virus'! When you look at the totality of data, there was no benefit to mask mandates. This state-versus-state chart also illustrates the importance of having a large enough sampling period in order to account for margin of error. Supporters of masks might have data-mined periods around August 2020 or September 2021 to falsely claim that masks 'work'. These are simply random variations. Sometimes the mask mandate states did a little better, and sometimes they did a little worse.
BELOW: Despite having N95 mask mandates, Austria had a huge spike in cases in late 2021.
BELOW: Despite having medical-grade mask mandates, Germany had a huge spike in cases in early 2022. The media failed to account for the fact that viruses are spiky and erratic in nature. Correlation is not causation, especially when looking at small sampling periods.
Masks: 7/29/2022 - Mask mandate has NO impact on COVID in Alameda County, CA.
Masks: 2/14/2023 - A review of 78 randomized controlled trials finds that “wearing a mask may make little to no difference in how many people caught a flu-like illness/COVID-like illness (nine studies; 276,917 people); and probably makes little or no difference in how many people have flu/COVID confirmed by a laboratory test
Masks: 5/9/2023 - Wearing masks “probably makes little or no difference” in preventing the spread of viruses. Excess carbon dioxide breathed in by mask-wearers can have major health consequences.
Masks: Not even N95 masks work to stop COVID. No matter the quality, no matter the compliance, masks are entirely ineffective at preventing transmission or infection.
Masks: Fauci himself said in a private email obtained through the Freedom of Information Act that masks are not really effective in keeping out the virus, and he advised a traveler not to wear one.
Masks: Study finds a growing body of literature which suggests school-based mask mandates have limited to no impact on the case rates of COVID-19 among K-12 students.
Masks: 4/19/2022 - Study finds that use of face masks in Europe either had no effect or caused higher death rates!
Masks: 12/20/2021 - The Brownstone Institute concludes (based on 150+ studies) that “surgical and cloth masks, used as they currently are being used (without other forms of PPE protection), have no impact on controlling the transmission of COVID-19. The body of evidence indicates that face masks are largely ineffective.”
Masks: UK government says that there is no proof of “a statistically significant impact” of masks stopping virus spread in schools.
Masks: Mask mandates in schools were not associated with lower COVID transmission.
Masks: Bangladeshi mask study is statistically minuscule, not blinded, did not exclude pre-intervention infections, and highly complex.
Masks: Fatal flaw found in study touted by the media as evidence 'masks work'.
Masks: Face masks made no meaningful difference to infection rates.
Masks: Data shows that masking kids in Florida made no difference versus unmasked Florida counties.
Masks: 30 studies and articles undercutting masks.
Masks: Duke University finds that cloth masks are worse than no mask at all.
Masks: Do masks work?
Masks: A detailed overview about why masks are unnecessary and don't help in stopping the spread of COVID-19.
Masks: Masks don't help stop the spread of coronavirus.
Masks: Masks don't work, and are actually harmful. The physical properties of medical and non medical facemasks suggest that facemasks are ineffective to block viral particles due to their difference in scales. Clinical scientific evidence challenges further the efficacy of facemasks to block human-to-human transmission or infectivity. A meta-analysis among health care workers found that compared to no masks, surgical mask and N95 respirators were not effective against transmission of viral infections or influenza-like illness based on six RCTs.
Masks: Masks have zero effect in the United States, according to study conducted by the University of Louisville.
Masks: According to a CDC study of patients with COVID-19, 74.2% reported "always" wearing masks and 14.5% wore masks “often.”
Masks: “There is no indication that areas with mask mandates have performed any better than areas without mask mandates. In fact, this policy could actually backfire.” - Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
Masks: A Danish mask study of 4,800 found little statistical difference in infection rates between a group that wore masks and a group that didn't. 42 of 2,393 people (1.8%) in the mask group and 53 of 2,470 (2.1%) in the no-mask group became infected.
Masks: According to Coen Berends, spokesman for the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment of the Dutch government, “Face masks in public places are not necessary, based on all the current evidence. There is no benefit and there may even be negative impact.”
Masks: According to Danish Medical Care Minister Tamara van Ark "From a medical point of view, there is no evidence of a medical effect of wearing face masks, so we decided not to impose a national obligation."
Masks: According to Anders Tegnell, Sweden's top infectious disease expert, “We see no point in wearing a face mask in Sweden, not even on public transport.” He told Science Magazine "The evidence is weak. Countries that have masks are not doing the best right now. It is very dangerous to try to believe that masks are a silver bullet."
Masks: The CDC has flipped and flopped. In a Feb 27, 2020 tweet by the CDC, "CDC does not currently recommend the use of facemasks to help prevent novel #coronavirus. Take everyday preventive actions, like staying home when you are sick and washing hands with soap and water, to help slow the spread of respiratory illness."
Masks: Anthony Fauci has flipped and flopped. In March of 2020 Fauci said "Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks. When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better. And it might even block a droplet. But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And often there are unintended consequences. People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face."
Masks: According to Dr. Denis G Rancourt, PhD, "Masks and respirators do not work. There have been extensive randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies, and meta-analysis reviews of RCT studies, which all show that masks and respirators do not work to prevent respiratory influenza-like illnesses, or respiratory illnesses believed to be transmitted by droplets and aerosol particles."
He explains that aerosol particles (< 2.5 μm) are too fine to be blocked, and the minimum-infective-dose is smaller than one aerosol particle.
Masks: In Southern California literally everyone wears a mask inside supermarkets, yet within a two month time period (November and December), 854 super market employees tested positive for COVID-19.
Cloth Masks: The CDC admits in October 2020 (6 months after recommending masks) that there is no conclusive evidence that cloth masks protect against COVID-19. They may actually increase the spread of the virus, as well as worsen other health conditions.
Cloth Masks: "Don't wear a cloth mask — cloth masks are little more than facial decorations" says CNN medical analyst.
Cloth Masks: Cloth masks are "not appropriate for this pandemic" says brutal authoritarian CNN medical expert Leana Wen.
Cloth Masks: "a cloth mask is not going to protect you from a virus that spreads through airborne transmission" -- Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb
Masks prior to COVID: The consensus was that masks are unproven against viruses and there's evidence they do more harm than good.
Asymptomatic Cases: 40.5% of people who contract the virus have no symptoms. Many more people have symptoms, but that are so mild that they don't think they have COVID.
Asymptomatic Cases: UK study finds 86 percent of COVID patients have no symptoms.
Asymptomatic Spread: Study of 10 million people finds no asymptomatic COVID-19 spread. Media silent.
Asymptomatic Spread: Transmission of the coronavirus by people who aren’t showing symptoms is "very rare”, so says Maria Van Kerkhove from the World Health Organization more than 2 months after the CDC told everyone to wear masks.
FACT: There has never been a respiratory virus in history known to be transmitted asymptomatically.
Asymptomatic Spread: 4/15/2022 - The CDC changes its tune. People who were exposed to someone with COVID and are asymptomatic are no longer required to quarantine, regardless of vaccination status. An implicit admission that COVID does not spread asymptomatically.
Ivermectin: The FDA overstepped its statutory authority by attempting to ban using Ivermectin to treat COVID-19.
Ivermectin: Ivermctin suddenly saves a man's life after 200-day hospital stay.
Ivermectin: 92% reduction in COVID mortality rate in large study of 88,012 subjects.
Ivermectin: Studies
Ivermectin: Can reduce chance of death by 92%.
Ivermectin: Has antiviral effect against Omicron.
Ivermectin: It works!
Ivermectin: Misleading study that claims Ivermectin doesn't work is debunked by Doctors Alliance.
Hydroxychloroquine: Coutless lives could have been saved.
Hydroxychloroquine: French study of 30,423 patients finds hydroxychloroquine lowered death rate by 6 times.
Hydroxychloroquine: Pfizer now recommends hydroxychloroquine.
Hydroxychloroquine: Studies
Hydroxychloroquine: Cardiologist and Professor of Medicine, Peter McCullough sees COVID patients and says 85% of COVID patients given multi-drug treatment plan recover from COVID-19 with complete immunity.
Hydroxychloroquine: According to Dr. Harvey Risch MD, PhD, when used in conjunctioni with zinc, vitamin D, an antibiotic like Azithromycin, and perhaps with steroids and other medications, Hydroxychloroquine has been shown to be 90-95 effective in treating outpatients (within the first 5 or 6 days of symptoms).
Vitamin D - Using data from the University of Chicago Medical Center, evidence supports the hypothesis that vitamin D deficiency may affect COVID-19 risk. Patients with vitamin D deficiency that were not adequately treated were 77% more likely to test positive for COVID-19 than patients who were not likely vitamin D deficient.
Vaccine hesitancy: Study finds that the "Most Highly Educated Americans Are Also the Most Vaccine Hesitant"
Efforts to silence: Google/YouTube removed Project Veritas' viral video exposing Pfizer gain of function research.
Efforts to silence vaccine skepticism: The CDC held back data in order to prevent vaccine histancy.
Efforts to silence vaccine skepticism: The Biden administration asked Twitter to remove this post by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Efforts to silence vaccine skepticism: Pfizer board member, Scott Gottlieb secretly pressed Twitter to hide posts challenging the vax.
80% of doctors are now democrats.
Being forced to wear a useless mask? Wear a fake mask that actually allows you to breathe.
