From the Olympics to NASA, masks are back - except in healthcare

My article in today's Irish Independent. Huge kudos & thanks to my editor, Tom Coogan & the Indo team. The Irish Independent is the only mainstream media outlet - anywhere - informing readers of the ongoing avalanche of scientific studies, evidencing the harms associated with repeated SARS-CoV-2 infections.

"The Swedish doctor said players were masked to prevent infections coming in. Masking in hospitals, however, can result in a psych referral".

If you can, please support the Indo by buying a copy today.


It's a damning indictment of the UK media when the UK Covid Inquiry's own expert warnings are reported in the Irish media first. I sent the same information covered here to UK media health correspondents & opinion editors. Zero uptake👇

"Last month, 60 experts sent an open letter to the World Health Organisation (WHO), urging it to recommend the use of respirator (FFP3/N95) masks in all healthcare settings, to protect staff and patients against dangerous respiratory pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2, which continues to circulate globally.
Among the signatories was Dr Barry Jones, chair of the Covid-19 Airborne Transmission Alliance (CATA), a group of leading organisations, representing over 65,000 UK healthcare workers, many of whom were expert witnesses to the UK’s Covid Inquiry.
Jones warned that, “CATA is extremely concerned that there is a concerted push by government and healthcare bodies to ignore the findings and recommendations of the Covid inquiry.
“This includes intransigence towards recognising the airborne route of transmission established by independent experts.”
These experts testified that IPC guidance should be updated to recommend routine use of respirator masks treating patients with Covid and flu".

See below a snapshot of Olympic masking, there are too many pics to include. NOTE: They're all wearing proper respirator masks (N95/FFP3s). Not a crappy baggy blue in sight. The same scientific studies that Olympic teams use to inform their Infection, Prevention, Control protocols is also accessible to our chief medical officer. Healthcare workers & patients are being seriously let down by their negligence.
