Our premiere episode of Forgotten History and deeply personal story for me, even though my mom never met her cousin Alex, but journo his heroic sacrifice. Building the bridge to freedom. The bridge victory has been a family story for 76 years now and on the 75th anniversary of the day he died. We told His story will have that up on common sense. Central will probably put it up at some point over Memorial Day weekend Also Not only the audio but also video. Our interview with assembly Speaker Robin Voss will be up. Yes, we do now have a YouTube channel. I'm hoping to stay under the radar on YouTube. For at least a little while before they realize I'm a conservative and banned me forever. I'm well then I guess I just go to rumble. Right? I should be on Rob. I should be posting everything on rumble, Shouldn't I? You know what I need, Dave. You know what we need? I am. Confronting my own mortality right now. No, I'm not dying. It's worse. I'm turning 40. Very nervous about that. I'm actually not. I have noticed, though, that I'll work out and I'm sore two days later. This is a new thing for me, but Realizing I'm realizing that I'm not a spring chicken anymore. I mean, in the world of politics, I'm an infant. Our president is 106 so, but in terms of you know that the seasons of life I realized I'm not up on social media. We need a social media director here on the Dan O'Donnell show. Do you think they let me pay? $100,000 to find a social media director producer James laughing hysterically. His head is, but I can see his fillings. He's laughing. His mouth is open so wide. He's laughing so hard. That's right day. We can't even get the printer fixed. So we're gonna hire AH printer repairman and a social media manager because there's Excuse me. There's so many conservative alternatives to the traditional networks, the traditional social media that I just I don't have enough time in the day to post to all of them. There's rumble. There's me, we there's a you know. Went parlor is parlor off. Can somebody please explain to me what the hell is going on with parlor? Okay, I joined parlor today. I have been asked to join parlor like 50 times. Remember me. I am signed in already. Please. I'm like a verified user on parlor. I have not been able to get this thing. They've been under construction for the last like three weeks, All right. Theme of the show is clearly what was once conspiracy is now Accepted. It was considered anti science hokum. To suggest that Hey, these little cloth masks probably aren't going to protect you from the single deadliest disease since the black death. Right? Conservatives were anti science. You hated your fellow man, if you wouldn't walk around In a mask. Guess what. Science now says masks did not spread. Stop the spread of Kobe 19. University of Louisville study released yesterday. Notes 80% of states in the United States mandated masks during the Kobe 19 pandemic and well mandates induced greater mask compliance. They did not predict lower growth rates when community spread was low. Or high. Mask mandates. In addition, ist directly from this study, mask, mandates and use are not associated with lower SARS cov to spread among US states. The U of L report continues Our findings. Do not support the hypothesis that SARS go V two. Transmission rates decrease with greater public mask use masks may promote social cohesion as rallying symbols during a pandemic, but risk compensation can also occur. Some of the risks. Prolong mask use promotes facial Alcon ization and inadvertently encourages dehydration, which in turn can enhance barrier breakdown and bacterial infection. Risk. British clinicians have reported masks to increase headaches and sweating and decreased cognitive precision Survey bias not withstanding. These are associated with medical errors by obscuring nonverbal communication masks interfere with social learning and Children. Likewise, masks can distort verbal speech and remove visual cues to the detriment of individuals. With hearing loss, clear face shields improve visual integration, but there is a corresponding loss. Of sound quality mask mandates, in other words were poor predictors of covitz spread. Therefore, if you have masked mandates, it's no more likely that Cove it would be spread than in states that don't have mass mandates. This means the mask mandates did nothing. You know who predicted this way back on March 8th 2020. Dr Anthony Fauci. People should not be walking around with masks. You're sure of it? Because people are listening really closely to this right now. People should not be why there's no reason to be walking around with the mask. 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. You know, we probably should have been listening to that Fauci Guy on March 8th University of Louisville in summary mask, mandates and use were poor predictors of covert 19 spread in U. S States Case Growth was independent of mandates that low and high rates of community spread and mask used, did not predict case growth during the summer or fall winter wave. Yes. Mm. Strengths of our study include using to mask metrics to evaluate association with covert 19 growth rates measuring normalized case growth in mandated non mandate states at comparable times to quantify the likely effective mandates and Deke involving The effect of mask used by examining case growths. In states with variable mask. Use. In other words, the masks did not work for anything other than as this study suggests, promoting social cohesion. You know who else said that and we probably should have listened. Dr Anthony Fauci. May 3rd 2020. I wear it for the reason that I believe it is effective. It is. It's not 100% effective. I mean, it's sort of respect for another person and have that other president respect you. You wear a mask. They were a mask. You protect each other. I mean, I do it when I'm in the public for the for the reasons that a I want to protect myself and protect others, and also because I want to make it be a symbol for people to see that that's the kind of thing you should be doing. You see, the mask was always a symbol of the thing you should be doing. The science was never there. But yet we were told to follow the science. And if you didn't wear a mask, you weren't following the science will now the science says masks. Did absolutely nothing. You.
