Ep.200 Pandemic of The Untreated: In Washington We Don't Trust

Pandemic of The Untreated: In Washington We Don't Trust   In this episode of The Scalpel, Dr. Rose explains the importance of "control groups" in medical research.   Now, with very well-established treatments for the virus, we ask the question:   "Why are we not proactively treating Covid 19?"     This chicken vaccine makes its virus more dangerous     Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens     Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens     ‘Leaky’ Vaccines Can Produce Stronger Versions of Viruses   versus nonuse and comparing masks types in health care settings remained insufficient"   https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/L20-1292   Annals of Internal Medicine: "The recommendation to wear surgical masks to supplement other public health measures did not reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers by more than 50% in a community with modest infection rates"   https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817   `Cochrane Library: "There is moderate certainty evidence that wearing a mask probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza compared to not wearing a mask"   https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD006207.pub5/full   "In intention-to-treat analysis, facemask use was neither effective against laboratory-confirmed vRTIs, nor against CRI, not even in per-protocol analysis."   https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3349234   "However, overall there is a lack of substantial evidence to support claims that facemasks protect either patient or surgeon from infectious contamination."   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4480558/   "No evidence was identified that examined a potential role for surgical face masks in protecting staff from infectious material encountered in the operating room."   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK195765/   Southern Medical Journal: "There was no reduction in per-population daily mortality, hospital bed, ICU bed, or ventilator occupancy of COVID-19-positive patients attributable to the implementation of a mask-wearing mandate."   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8395971/   Covid advisor ""What we're worried about is people getting exposed and getting infected while thinking they were actually doing something to protect themselves,"   https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/11/confronting-notion-face-masks-reduce-covid-dose   "Making pre-school children wear masks is bad public health"   https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666535221001221#   "the difficulties associated with the mask’s use are significantly pronounced in children aged between 3 and 5 years old."   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34591895/   "Use of face masks is not recommended in schools in Norway."   https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2020.26.1.2002011   "The main insight of the present research is that face masks’ use influences emotion inference from faces for all ages and especially for toddlers."   https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.669432/full   CONTACT THE SHOW Website: https://scalpeledge.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @TheScalpelEdge Instagram: @TheScalpelPodcast
