Interesting Norwegian observational study – mask wearing increases risk of C19 by 40%?

All a little academic at this stage – I think we all know that the first attempt at delivering the spike protein via a “virus” was a psyop designed to prepare the ground for the real delivery mechanism via the C19 mRNA and viral vector injections.

However, check out this article from the Daily Sceptic:

Norwegian Researchers Find Masks Linked With Covid Infections – The Daily Sceptic

Which has an embedded link to this hard to read study:

Association between Face mask use and Risk of SARS-CoV-2 Infection – Cross-sectional study | Epidemiology & Infection | Cambridge Core

Let’s start with the caveats:

“.. Norwegians who did/didn’t wear masks in early 2022 probably did work in different jobs and behave differently outside of work too, and some may have worn masks because they tested positive.

Without randomising people into groups that are as identical as possible beforehand, like in the Danish mask RCT that found no effect, researchers risk finding all sorts of spurious correlations and associations. ..  “caution is imperative when interpreting the results from this and other observational studies on the relationship between mask wearing and infection risk”.

Here’s the kicker via a few comments from the author of the article covering the study

“”Oh dear. And these are the results after controlling for observable confounders. In the raw data, regular mask-wearers had a 74-75% higher risk of testing positive for Covid.”

“.. governments worldwide forced people to wear masks on the basis of observational studies far poorer than this one, such as the U.S. CDC’s classic study of two hairstylists.”

Remember this from the CDC?

Which study would you trust?

People forced to ear masks to enter any enclosed public area – like offices, factories, pubic transport, airlines. Bars etc – WERE ALL INCREASING THEIR RISK OF INHALING THE SPIKE PROTEIN???

I will end with a tweet:

(17) Robin Monotti on X: "Masks increase risk of viral infection: "We found that the incidence of self-reported COVID-19 was 33% (aRR 1.33; 95% CI 1.03 – 1.72) higher in those wearing face masks often or sometimes, and 40% (aRR 1.40; 95% CI 1.08 – 1.82) higher in those wearing face masks almost always or… https://t.co/r3JPCMSGMd" / X (twitter.com)
