1/ The father of the universal mask mandate @jeremyphoward. Why did this AI scientist from San Fran go all in with his #masks4all movement for a couple of months last summer and then walk away?

2/With no expertise in a related field, armed with a pile of untested theories and a website full of junk data/science, his movement was granted an MSM soapbox and managed to unleash cascading mask mandates all over the western world over a 2 month period https://masks4all.co/
3/The messaging was: 80% of ppl wearing masks would reduce cases by 1/12 (basically eradicating C19!) Failure to do so could make you responsible for killing someone! Masks would prevent lockdowns. No need to concern yourselves about the old mask science
4/The website was full of $ciENCE! ™ too, even claiming that masks protect the wearer.
5/A lot of the messaging was predicated on the Czech Republic's success with masks. I guess they didn't mask hard enough the second time.
6/I am pretty sure that his website is where this little virtue-signaling gem originated (if so, respect for some of the most evil genius marketing of all time). The bit on the bottom is a little more ominous though.
7/...But not as bad as this. When I read it, I knew the C19 response was headed to a dark place. Tribalism was being introduced and sanctioned. I think Balaclava was born that day.
8/This non-peer reviewed policy paper that Howard co-authored is full of garbage and is still to this day quoted by pro-mandatory mask advocates and gov't agencies as part of their body of evidence for universal mask mandates. https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202004.0203/v2
9/How is it that an AI scientist, a group of Czechs and sub groups like #masks4canada managed to mask up nearly the entire western world based on garbage science? Now that the data is in and we know all of it is crap, why do we still have mask mandates? https://masks4all.co/about-us/
10/I think that this may have something to do with it.
