    He never anticipated his analysis would provide such an occasion for diversion.

    I worked with the Wuhan lab - this is how I KNOW Covid was a lab leak

    A SCIENTIST who worked closely with the Wuhan lab has claimed Covid was genetically engineered - and leaked from the facility.


    Dr Andrew Huff, former vice president of EcoHealth Alliance, claims to have had a ringside seat to what he brands one of the greatest cover-ups in history - and the "biggest US intelligence failure since 9/11".

    The Wuhan Institute of Virology - a high security lab specialising in coronaviruses - has been in the eye of the storm as questions rage over whether Covid could have escaped from its lab.

    Both China and the lab have furiously denied any allegations - but evidence of a lab leak has been piling up over the last two years as scientists, researchers and governments hunt for answers and step forward with evidence.

    Dozens of experts have suggested Covid could have escaped from the Wuhan lab through an infected researcher, improper disposal of waste, or potential breaches in the security at the site.


    Will anyone believe Dr. Andrew Huff?

    I am so happy that I never took that jab, but unfortunately two People I love took the jab and one of them had a stroke and now has blood clots in her body. The other one is now having skin cancer spots on her body suddenly show up.

    That experimental mRNA drug should never have been allowed to even exists with the current drugs that are, and were available at the time of the plandemic outbreak, available to stop/cure the virus..

    Why many scientists say it’s unlikely that SARS-CoV-2 originated from a “lab leak”
    And I should add that the Sun is a British tabloid similar to the National Enquirer.

    It says that Russia’s losing though. Maybe that’s a sensational lie too.

    They knew before this virus that masks were not a viable way to fight it. Any doctor knew this. There is a reason you have no RCT proving masks work after 2.5 years of this.

    But carry on believing the virtue signal if it makes you feel better.

    That was not a RCT. Not sure whether you purposely lied or fell for the fact a CRT has a very similar acronym.

    Masks are nothing more than virtue signaling when it comes to Covid. Doctors know this. Public health officials know this. fauci knows this. Authoritarians know this.

    You want to wear a mask to show off your great virtue. By all means. The people that might need to consider wearing a N95 mask today are the same ones who might need to consider it before Covid.

    Yeah, a cluster randomized control trial is an RCT.

    What is a CRT? | Cluster Randomised Trials

    A cluster randomized trial is a term used to distinguish between types of RCTs based on the level that randomization occurs. But it is a trial with randomization and a control group.

    In fact, it is pretty easy to argue that clustering the randomization is a better methodology than doing it individually for a masking study due to the issue of contamination (if you have an individual in a village wear a mask, they might convince others to do the same even if they are in the control group).

    Cluster Randomized Trials - Rethinking Clinical Trials.

    Since doctors know that masks are just virtue signaling, how many do you know that didn't utilize them while working with Covid positive patients? Revealed preference.

    Why would anybody need to wear a mask if it is completely ineffective? Your own argument is internally inconsistent.

    Masks arguably at least somewhat effective against imaginary rogue nanoparticles.

    Do you understand the main purpose of a surgical mask being worn during a procedure?

    Yes, it reduces risk of infection passing between patients and the healthcare provider.

    Now, do you understand that a CRT is a type of RCT based on the links provided and that, therefore, there is an RCT showing mask effectiveness?
