Hollywood Hypocrites: Oscars Won't Require Masks for Attendees
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson went on an epic rant last night, calling masks on kids “child abuse” and slamming health “experts” like Dr. Anthony Fauci for now admitting the risk of catching COVID outdoors is “miniscule.”
The outspoken host also went on to cite studies claiming there was “no scientific justification” for mask mandates.
Carlson says concerns about how masks have harmed children is a “question that no one asked. And we should all be troubled by.”
“A physician called Dr. Mary Harrow told the Colorado Springs school board that, ‘the data [are] overwhelming’ on this topic.”
“Masks, she said, can, ‘Cause low oxygen and high carbon dioxide levels, shortness of breath, toxicity, inflammation, increased stress hormones and sugar in the body, and create fear, anxiety, headaches, compromised cognitive performance and other problems.’ Did you really need a medical degree to know that? People need fresh air, especially children. Deprive them of fresh air, and you hurt them. You knew that, we all knew that, it is obvious.”
Carlson also ripped Dr. Anthony Fauci for his recent flip flop on mask-wearing outdoors.
“’It’s pretty common sense now that outdoor risk is really, really, quite low,’ says Dr. Fauci. Really? So why didn’t Dr. Fauci tell us this? Fauci himself clearly knew this was true. You saw him at a baseball game without a mask. He wasn’t worried. And for good reason.”
The Fox News host also cited studies that show it was nearly impossible to trace a COVID outbreak to an outdoor event.
“There’s no scientific justification for any of it,” he said. “The idea that people are being told, being forced, to wear masks outside should shock us. There was never any risk of mass transmission outdoors. We’ve known that for at least a year. Last spring, researchers in China traced 318 separate coronavirus outbreaks to find out where they originated, and how. Of those 318 outbreaks, only a single one could plausibly be connected to a person who was outside. All the rest were indoors. Last November, a review of all existing peer-reviewed research on this subject appeared in the Journal of Infectious Diseases. That review found that the odds of contracting the virus outdoors were about 19 times lower than the risk of contracting it inside. In April, researchers in Japan came to the same conclusion.”
