I'll give you that one for sure. However the Danish mask study which actually used a control group pointed to no real difference in infection rate between masked and unmasked. The University of Louisville mask study analyzed the CDC's own data and found no benefit to masks slowing the spread of COVID.

A different take on the Danish study. You should be able to read it once, but if you try opening it again, you'll be asked to register and can't read the article.

I'm not trying to be closed minded or obstinate, but not all studies and "research" are equal. Something like 40 years ago I spent two weeks at Three Mile Island starting the day after the accident - I worked for Babcock and Wilcox, the manufacturer of the reactor, steam generators, and overall plant design. We tapped into any instrumentation possible trying to determine what the plant condition was, how safe it was, how best to get it to something resembling cold shutdown, what sensors were probably providing information, etc. At the end of a couple of weeks when things were relatively stable, I got a chance to go back home, and I don't think I've ever been that worn out in my life. While we were collecting and analyzing data for internal consumption and analysis, there were hordes of "scientific" types all over giving their analyses with none of the data we were seeing and certainly without the long hours and conditions we were working under, so forgive me if I don't have much love for people on the periphery of a problem providing answers. While I was trying to wake up, I'd listen to the news thinking WTH; I'd been there just hours before and wondered if the "reporters" and I were in parallel universes. The people actually working the hardest to understand what's going on don't have time to spend on publishing papers or being a talking head on TV - you may have access to a treasure trove of information that those who continually publish don't, but you are simply far too busy hopping from one problem to another to spend on recognition.

In the end quality research depends on how well you control the test environment. The Danish study doesn't honestly appear to be well controlled - not the adherence to mask use, not the environment, and certainly not the viral load around the subject. GIGO.

Mystery Surrounds FAA Order To Halt All West Coast Air Traffic After North Korean Missile Launch (Updated)

Wonder if this is/was meaningful

The Intel community got caught flat footed, again, at this test shot. The test vehicle hit hypersonic speeds and was covering a lot of airspace very quickly and our idiots in Intel simply had no idea where it would go or what it would hit so they at least wanted to make sure it didn’t hit a civilian aircraft.

Even the damn North Koreans have hypersonic missiles now 🤷‍♂️

Nothing to see here. The idiot admin ASKED the NSBA to make a written request for the domestic terrorist label on parents that got the ball rolling for that useless shill Garland and his transparent DOJ 🤡

Cardona needs to get thrown out on his ass.

The article in no way, at no point, even remotely says the Secretary asked them for anything specific.
Read the article and post what I must be missing.
It looks to me like right wing propaganda making up a story out of nothing.
Again, I may have missed it. Show me what the secretary did wrong.
And who exactly is calling for his recognition? The article didn't say.
Unless I missed it.
Help me out usual crowd....what did I miss?
predicting crickets.

he had solicited the controversial letter from the NSBA last year that compared protesting parents to domestic terrorists.

Previous emails had revealed that the NSBA was in contact with the White House and Justice Department in the weeks before it publicly sent its letter, but an email exchange obtained by the parents group Parents Defending Education through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and reviewed by Fox News Digital indicates the Education Department was more involved with the letter's creation than previously known.

In a Oct. 5 email, NSBA Secretary-Treasurer Kristi Swett recounted that NSBA interim CEO Chip Slaven "told the officers he was writing a letter to provide information to the White House, from a request by Secretary Cardona."

A Department of Education spokesperson denied that Cardona solicited the NSBA letter, despite the email indicating he did.

These are quotes from the article - says he solicited the letter after being conversations with them.

It says nothing about him directing the NSBA to say anything about domestic terrorism. If he asked them for a letter expressing their views, that is a 100% legitimate request and exactly what he should be doing.
