(Ted Noel MD) I’m now a bad boogie man according to Politifact fact checking. Supposedly my “expired license” (I retired!) means I don’t know anything about masks or diseases. The reporter asked for my comments on email, so I sent a detailed explanation with an included swipe at Fauci. He accurately but incompletely quoted my comment that Fauci is “a lab rat turned bureaucrat who plays a doctor on TV.”

So that the world can see my full comment, here it is:
“Fauci (who is not a physician, despite his MD degree. He’s a lab rat turned bureaucrat who plays a doctor on TV, and flip flops worse than a dying fish).”
Anyone who has been paying attention knows that what I said is a polite version of the truth that Fauci is not a physician, since he has cloistered himself in a lab for his entire career, later becoming its director, condemned to a career of obscurity. By fortuitous accident, he was dropped into bureaucrat heaven, becoming the face and voice of governmental intervention in the COVID epidemic. His flip flops are the stuff of legend.
As for the Politifact piece, it does quote people who ought to know better, but follow the party line. So that the hoi polloi (that’s what our “betters” think of us) are able to understand the problem, I present it in short form below. The real world answer is a lot less complimentary to government intervention.
Fact 1: There is zero data that masks have reduced disease transmission. See www.rationalground.com/mask-charts/ and www.cebm.net .
Fact 2: There is lots of data that masks stop droplets.
Therefore, droplets have nothing to do with COVID spread.
Fact 3: Aerosols are the problem.
Fact 4. Masks may block 20% of aerosols.
Fact 5: CDC studies note that there is an 87% chance that any difference in disease between mask and no mask is pure chance.
Therefore: That 20% reduction in aerosols has no epidemiologic benefit.
Fact 6: Properly fitted, highly filtering masks (N95) do reduce disease in health care workers.
Fact 7: No one in the general population is properly fitted.
Fact 8: Highly effective filters increase resistance to airflow.
Therefore: In the general population, everyone is either breathing through an ineffective mask, OR is breathing around a good filter (in and out).
Therefore: There is zero evidence that masks in the general population have any benefit in reducing disease transmission. But I repeat myself.
COVID-19 lockdowns are taking down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the resurgence of lockdowns that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $17,300 to stay afloat through March when we hope the economy will be more open, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. In November, 2020, we hit 1.2 million visitors.
We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
