As on\u00a0several<\/a>\u00a0prior<\/a>\u00a0occasions, liberal Bundestag Vice-President Wolfgang Kubicki has used his parliamentary prerogatives to put a question to the Health Ministry, and compel an answer. He asked what study results the Ministry could cite to demonstrate the efficacy of face masks. Lauterbach\u2019s crack team of virus understanders responded\u00a0that, uh, it is a very complicated problem, and, in truth, well, actually, nobody really knows what effect masks really have<\/a>. This is because \u201cthe effectiveness of individual measures\u2026 cannot be examined in isolation, but only in conjunction with the other measures in place at any given time\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words: they got nothing. After years of making kids mask for hours on end in school, and imposing arbitrary but quite obnoxious mandates on aeroplanes and public transit and clinics, they have no idea whether it did anything, and no plans even to find out whether it did anything. Suddenly all that manic masking enthusiasm has just evaporated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The response comes several weeks after Anthony Fauci\u2019s statement to the <\/a>New York Times<\/a> <\/em>that \u201cat the population level, masks work at the margins, maybe 10%\u201d. This is itself a baseless claim, but it\u2019s another important walk-back of the insane doctrines that medical bureaucrats have been spinning about masks since 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have to think of propaganda like a big machine. Somebody has to plug it in and it draws a lot of electricity, but with the right inputs it can dazzle a lot of people. The problem is that sooner or later the deception isn\u2019t worth anybody\u2019s time or energy anymore, and so somebody must also shut it off. It looks like nobody bothered with any kind of messaging exit strategy, and so we\u2019ve entered a very weird period, wherein the public health leviathan has ceased rehearsing its crazy pandemic myths, leaving the ever-shrinking minority of deranged Covidians to their own devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now and again the fact-checkers still throw them a bone<\/a>, so there\u2019s that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
