The studies that made any conclusions at all were all worthless because there was no place where they were used that came close to meeting the conditions necessary to provide a definitive conclusion.
The closest place there was…in Bangladesh where they did an experiment designed to get as possible to optimal conditions…masks (surgical) did have an impact.
The problem of course is those optimal conditions were almost impossible to achieve.
Some people will see through it. But places like New York City, or Newark NJ, they willingly abide by the rules and restrictions. When I went to NYC I was shocked at what I saw. Those people were not only abiding by the rules, but going above and beyond. It looked like a city of puppets.
I’d say 9 of 10 people had masks on outdoors. Riding bikes, scooters, walking dogs. All wearing masks. Not the dogs. Which was a bit surprising.
Pros: Folks can now work remotely at least part of the time instead of clogging up the roads every day.
Hopefully more nasty ■■■■■■■ are washing their hands.
Cons: The government, Big Pharma, etc all know that the majority of Americans will comply with
anything, no matter how illogical.
Billions of useless masks ending up in landfills, oceans.
Vax injuries and deaths.
More division and hatred in the U.S. fomented by string pullers at the top.
cloth masks did absolutely nothing, surgical masks offered 11% slower spread, but not less overall spread (which mathematically means that even more people would eventually get it because it would take longer to plateau). Everyone who was going to get the disease would eventually get the disease, mask or no mask.
If I got my dog a rabies vaccine and I had to keep getting them a booster every few months and my dog still got rabies, I’d be a little sceptical that the Vax worked…
But you were not allowed to say that…
That’s how crazy the govt and corp censorship got. And what side loved it? The dems…
