To Mask or Not To Mask

“Sorru, bucko, but that ain’t DATA.”

Of course not. Simple numbers of cases exploding for 6+ weeks after mask requirements were put in place upon millions of people? How can THAT compare to YOUR piercing insights.

Because, you fool, you believe a “study” that then looks at what social media is discussing. The SCIENCE was done before Trump was elected. Plenty of studies. Of course, the media and the Fauci-ists need to discredit the studies done over decades in order to fight Trump. And a study that takes a position on what “mask skeptics were sharing on social media” is no study at all, as anyone with 2 brain cells can see!

For all its faults, the WHO put out a well-documented report: “Advice on the use of masks in the context of COVID-19” It is not worth paying attention to because the WHO put it out, but because they give the reasoning behind recommendations and the links to the studies they used.

But in terms of what happens if masks are required in public, we now KNOW the answer. Will it curb the spread? No. California has made that evident, in what is arguably one of the largest real-world experiments ever conducted.

You just don’t like admitting the truth.

"Simple numbers of cases exploding for 6+ weeks after mask requirements were put in place upon millions of people? How can THAT compare to YOUR piercing insights."

I'll explain it in simple terms so that you might possibly understand it. Over the time frame involved, TWO DIFFERENT VARIABLES CHANGED...the FLOYD-19 riots and the mask mandates. There is NO WAY to separate those variables.

And I've looked up dozens of studies, including animal studies that show that masks DO work.

The difference between you and me is that you are selling specific viewpoint (i.e. masks are bad) and I am looking at ALL THE AVAILABLE SCIENCE.

My position remains unchanged. The balance of science says that masks work.
