The only ones who should be insulted by the moniker "Trumpanzee" are freaking chimps.

How do we send thoughts and prayers through GoFundMe?
Indeed. With the ad hominems, it’s that animal being referred to that deserves better than being compared to the likes of MAGAtards. Cockroaches, pond scum, etc.
I guess "diamonds" aren't forever...RIP
Another tragic indication that today's anti vax GOP is a death cult. Loser Donald claims he personally invented the vaccine, and they still won’t take it in the name of the large amounts of money in misinformation and “owning the libs”. I guess they can’t blame the vaccine on this death. Too bad for her family that the misinformation on a deadly airborne virus she peddled is most likely complicit in killing her.

Moderna considers pricing COVID vaccine at $110-$130 - WSJ
Moderna Inc is considering pricing its COVID-19 shot at $110 to $130 per dose in the United States when it shifts from government contracting to commercial distribution of the shots, the company's Chief Executive Officer Stephane Bancel told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
So with Moderna potentially hiking vaccine price by 4x and government scaling down purchases, how many of you are going to pay $250 a year per person for two boosters? That's a cool $1000 for a family of 4.
What's really going to happen is that payments for patients will still be $0 but of course insurance will absorb it and you'll pay for it in another way.Moderna considers pricing COVID vaccine at $110-$130 - WSJ

A large majority of the population, who would have to pay for the vaccine but received them for free now, will choose to skip the boosters.Moderna considers pricing COVID vaccine at $110-$130 - WSJ

The fact remains that I don’t know what she died of. so I won't speculate any further. Besides there is still enough irony to go around ...
Conservative Activist Dies of COVID Complications After Attending Anti-Vax ‘Symposium’
Kelly Canon had celebrated her vaccine exemption a few weeks before she fell ill with the virus and wound up on a ventilator.

As for the grifting ... The family is a pedigree in grift. Their family life may shed some light on how they came to be the way they were.
From Wikipedia:
They were also briefly involved in the BLM movement before figuring out there was more grift money getting on board the Trump train.
Pro-Trump entertainer Diamond of Diamond and Silk dies at 51
The Diamond and Silk Twitter account confirmed her death after the former president announced it on his Truth Social platform. The cause was not announced.www.nbcnews.com
Weird that elon's boys removed the links that doesn't suit their narrative
At Diamond’s funeral/memorial (which was live streamed), her sister Silk went on and on about how much she (Silk) loved Trump, and how many great things they had done together. Then Trump got up and said that he didn’t really know Silk, but she seemed like a great person.
“I prefer sycophants who aren’t dead”
Memorial for pro-Trump vlogger Diamond goes off the rails
Lynette 'Diamond' Hardaway's, 51, memorial took a dark turn as Rochelle 'Silk' Richardson, detailed her sister's final moments and alluded to a nefarious plot that she believes killed her.

I think this is an interesting finding, although I think it's important to point out that the most likely reason is poor population compliance with mask wearing procedures as opposed to the masks being ineffective themselves. For example I would be very surprised to find in an actual controlled test that N95 masks don't work when worn properly.
This does indicate to me that while they are likely effective for an individual the population may not be willing to comply with mask mandates to a sufficient extent to make them worthwhile to have.

There are numerous issues with that review, and even the authors note it. For one, it relied mostly on population based studies where usage wasn't necessarily controlled or monitored. And the RCTs that are included do show significant benefits. Shock.
It's being touted in the usual circles as "See, masks don't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
When it reality it's more likely described as "Masks work when used"
I suggest taking a moment and actually reading the metaanalysis. Only after reading it, you'll realize how crappy your Foxnews article reflects the actual findings.
This is a metaanlysis that is continually updated. This is the fifth update, first published in 2007. They add studies in each subsequent edition.
The first key point, the MAJORITY of the studies were conducted before 2020, and studied prevention of respiratory viral infections via masks and/or handwashing. Most of the studies do not involve COVID-19 in any form. In addition, many of these studies were conducted during periods in which there was LOW circulation of respiratory viruses. These are major confounding factors in looking at the evidence, to the point that the authors write in the very first line of their conclusions summary: "The high risk of bias in the trials, variation in outcome measurement, and relatively low adherence with the interventions during the studies hampers drawing firm conclusions."
In fact, this review reflects why there was so much doubt placed on the utility of face masks back in March 2020.
But with the current update, there are only TWO studies evaluating the utility of masking during COVID-19 that they included. They lumped those two trials in with several others studying other respiratory infections and found masking was ineffective (see analysis 1.1.1 and 1.1.2), but anyone thinking about it critically would say that Foxnews has their article title purposely misleading: "Face masks made ‘little to no difference’ in preventing spread of COVID, scientific review finds." That's not actually what the metaanlysis says at all.
The data is the data, but Foxnews is purposely distorting the results to push their agenda once again. How shocking /s.

So if you need surgery at some point, you're going to tell the people in the operating room not to bother with those silly masks?

That's the problem though. The idiots that never masked are the exact ones we need to mask ...
It's always telling that you won't detail what you find interesting. It's also telling that you usually try to hide the actual source of your "interesting" articles by posting news aggregator links.

In reality, you said masks were not effective against an airborne disease. Why else would surgeons cover their breathing hole?
