US - 330 million population - 300,000+ Covid deaths
EU - 500 million population - 500,000+ Covid deaths

If you look at deaths per XX population, you will find no significant difference between nations with strong mask mandates/shutdowns versus those without.

PS: South Korea going through another spike despite being looked at as a “success”

It’s nothing to do with disease prevention, it’s just a visible sign of submission. That’s why they don’t even let honest studies like this get published or publicized.

Anyone with any common sense knows this, but some here will still refuse to acknowledge that masks are just a ploy to psychologically condition the masses.

I don’t know if I agree.

I have been in Vietnam for the Wuhan flu breakout.

Once again, after two additional breakouts, there is no local transmission in the country, at present.

No flu, no mask required.

Though most people here, do still wear a mask.

Not trying to do anything by this post, except to say, masks do seem to be working here, anyway.

Denying the reality of the total ineffectiveness of widespread masking of America’s population is a sickness unto itself ... but its effects are far more protractive and widespread, and are far more damaging to the mental and physical health individuals who suffer from these conditions — the denial of reality as well as masking to “stop the spread” — than is a respiratory virus with a 99.9 percent survival rate.

Initially, the Surgeon General was against masks and said so frequently. IIRC, the reasoning was that a) people would not wear them correctly and b) that the mask gave people a false sense of security and would not do the other hygiene things. Only after months did he adopt the gubermint line, even going so far as to record a Public Service Announcement touting mask usage.

Most of the masks people wear are nowhere near the n95 rating. Some even wore bandanas in the early days. The paper disposable masks don't get disposed of immediately after use and the cloth ones don't get washed.

Face it, most of us know the masks do nothing and wear them just to get in the stores. And then there are the ones who changed their avatars (on sites that allow that) to a photo of them wearing their mask. Cringeworthy morons...

We also know not even n95s will do anything against a virus. I don’t wear anything to go anywhere. I just let it buck.

I dare someone to show me a mask manufacturer that makes the claim their product prevents or reduce the spread or transmission of viruses. They can not make this claim because the data does not support it and doing so would violate FDA labeling requirements and subject the manufacturers to fines and law suits.

My mother-in-law is a 40+ year OR nurse, and it absolutely infuriates her the complete lack of knowledge and application of proper PPE fitting by a majority of the holier-than-thou mask Nazis. She gets especially bristly when she sees someone wearing gloves, because these people seem to think that by wearing gloves they can touch anything and go anywhere. They are living proof that this isn’t about controlling spread of anything, because the glove wearers don them when they leave the house and dispose of them when they get home, basically traipsing all manner of filth from point to point.

N95 masks are useless if not properly fitted to the face, and that requires that men completely shave. I’ve seen fully bearded men walking around with an N95 and wonder how much money they wasted buying those masks considering the efficacy is zero.

I’ve gone to some places and this last weekend I went to the butcher shop. I went in and got dirty looks from some other “men”. The cashiers thanked me for fighting for them though. A lot of people know exactly that. As you said, they don’t claim they prevent viruses because they don’t. Dentists now have new terminology too. It’s called mask mouth. Fungal disease, mouth infections etc. Nobody wants to talk about the harm that masks do. That’s just physical. We don’t know yet the mental damage to people and society.

“I dare someone to show me a mask manufacturer that makes the claim their product prevents or reduce the spread or transmission of viruses.”

There’s an ad on TV for those masks with copper in them - the same company that makes braces for arthritic backs, legs and wrists.

THEY claim that their masks prevent 99.999% of ‘viruses.’ Of course, they don’t mention Covid, specifically.

Lysol spray also advertises that it kills the Covid virus...and just try to find a can of that stuff, anywhere these days.

You get what you pay for. Your Mileage May Vary. Advertisers don’t care. They’re selling the SIZZLE, not the STEAK to the unwashed and unwitting. ;)

The national numbers do not compare before and after. Also the Florida results show that there's no difference between the masked and unmasked counties. Masks may indeed do nothing, but this "study" shows nothing.

I see people who pull the collar of their t-shirt up over their face, and that is somehow acceptable. The whole mask thing is, and always was, just another fraud, another scare tactic to control the people, and one that has worked incredibly well.

Similarly useless are these other “mitigation measures”:

Social distancing - useless and unnecessary, as evidenced by the simple fact that it has not had any affect on the spread of COVID whatsoever.

One-way entry/exit doors at stores - this is mind-numbingly stupid, to the point where I don’t even need a study to tell me that it is stupid and useless.

Plexiglas sheets hanging in mid-air - as with the one-way entry/exit farce, no study is needed to see how brainless and useless it is.

COVID is a LIE. Possibly the biggest lie ever (well, Creepy Joe’s “win” is a close second). And all of the fools who believe the COVID lie, are going to believe the “new strain of COVID” lies, just as they have believed all of the other lies, because they are stupid, intellectually lazy, fearful, gutless, worthless sacks.

To me these covid lies are the worst since the rise of the Reich. These current lies are being used to bring in another order. It must be resisted without fail.
