I'd like to see a chart that shows the COVID cases over time with the date of the CDC mask recommendation shown on it. I seem to recall that the mask thing came into being during the summer. But regardless, cases exploded after the masks were forced on everyone. There are a couple of possible ways to interpret that:

1) Masks cause COVID. No.
2) Masks don't make any difference
3) Without masks it would have been much worse (pure speculation).

Personally I think that (2) is likely, they don't really matter.

There is no evidence at all that masks stop Covid. It is pure crap.

Not one study has shown this... now do lock downs

FL has same rate per 100k as Cali. One is locked down hard the other very little

This entire thing is a scam.

No the disease is not but what they are making you do to “stay safe” absolutely is. It’s all theater. Nothing more

Most masks are simply psychological crutches, and are more symbolic than useful.

A clear face shield is equally as effective, and has the added advantage of allowing facial recognition. And they protect the eyes as well.
