Watch: UK Health Security Head Admits Use Of Face Masks Was Never “Evidence Based”<\/span><\/p>\n

During testimony at the UK government\u2019s COVID inquiry this week, England\u2019s former deputy chief medical officer at the height of the pandemic\u00a0admitted that there was never any proof that face masks were effective in slowing or preventing the spread of the virus, and in all likelihood made the problem worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor Dame\u00a0Jenny Harries, now the head of the UK Health Security Agency,\u00a0explained that the policy wasn\u2019t based on scientific reality and had the effect of instilling a \u201cfalse sense of security,\u201d\u00a0convincing people that they would reduce their risk of becoming infected if they wore a mask.<\/p>\n

She also told the inquiry that government advice on how to make a mask out of bits of cloth and old t-shirts was wholly \u201cineffective\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere appeared to be a view permeating through, and a real concern and risk, that it was being conceived that if you did one metre (social distancing) and you wore a face covering slung round your cheek, or whatever it might be, that was fine,\u201d Harries noted.<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cSo, there was a risk that in encouraging face (masks) people would stop doing the thing that was really important, which was distancing and all the other things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was being conceived was if you wear a face covering and reduce everything to a metre, the face covering will make up for the difference, and the answer was no, it won\u2019t, and it definitely won\u2019t if it\u2019s ever not evidence based,\u201d Harries added.<\/p>\n

Watch:<\/p>\n

The COVID face mask policy was not evidence based and it made things WORSE. The words of England’s former deputy chief medical officer at the height of the pandemic. Still see people wearing them NOW though. How many times they got to be told this? #CovidInquiry<\/a> #masks<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/s51AmUevW1<\/a><\/p>\n

The BBC was broadcasting the testimony, but decided to \u201cbreak away\u201d when Harries started to explain how the use of masks was not evidence based and instilled a false sense of security among people wearing them.<\/p>\n

BBC: ‘And we’re just going to break away from the COVID inquiry there because what the medical professor is saying about face masks doesn’t fit our narrative’ #CovidInquiry<\/a> #BBC<\/a> #Masks<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RSGICRjv6A<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2020 when it was all kicking off, Harries advised people not to panic buy and wear face masks saying that \u201cit\u2019s usually quite a bad idea\u201d to wear a mask if you haven\u2019t been expressly advised to do so by a medical professional.<\/p>\n

She also told the BBC that masks could potentially \u201ctrap the virus\u201d and help it spread.<\/p>\n

.@UKHSAn<\/a> boss Dame Jenny Harries is in the news for what she said @covidinquiryuk<\/a> about masks being ineffective and having the opposite effect than intended. This is pretty much what she said at the time. These two clips of her are from around 12 March 2020. pic.twitter.com\/VQCXmVvWG5<\/a><\/p>\n

Studies have proven that she was right all along:<\/p>\n

Study Finds \u201cNo Evidence\u201d Face Masks Protect Vulnerable Against COVID<\/a><\/p>\n

Government Advisor Admits Masks Are Just \u201cComfort Blankets\u201d That Do Virtually Nothing<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks for admitting this 3 years later after all the demeaning crap you put everybody through. pic.twitter.com\/I9WGPkeHzw<\/a><\/p>\n

Never forget that if you questioned the masks at the time you were\u00a0ostracised and banned<\/a>\u00a0from engaging in society.<\/p>\n
