The science on masks is shaky at best, we have had corona viruses and airborne respiratory illness for all of modern history and every study prior to 2020 says cloth masks don't do a fucking thing. What is bad for covid, A Bunch of Karen's with silly catch phrases sewn on their new face accessories going to the store in groups, touching a bunch of shit unnecessarily and still using their phones. Masks are a detriment if the wearer is not disciplined enough not to touch their face.
Why do you care to fight it? What's the worst that'll happen if you wear a mask?

Correlation does equal causation, it's safe to assume anyplace with a mask mandate had numerous other measures at play simultaneously.
In the meta analysis I'm talking about, a causal link was demonstrated, and other measures were controlled for.

I've read numerous peer reviewed studies on the subject, there is no shortage of studies and medical professionals that deny the efficacy of cloth masks preventing airborne transmissions. I'll gladly concede there is a few whipped up in the last 6 months that contradict the last 50 years of accepted science.
Fact check: The science of mask efficacy is clear, and it's untrue that we had "50 years of accepted science that masks don't work." It's good practice not to pull false information out of your ass when people around you are fact-checking. At the very least, it'll save you from embarrassment.

Fact check: When you type fact check doesn't magically make things true, there is no long term studies on the efficacy of cloth masks stopping airborne transmission of viruses, because they don't. Anecdotal bullshit done in a panic in 2020 is not clear science, they may prevent covid but anyone claiming it is a clear proven fact is either ignorant or a liar.

yea, people don't understand... only you and me remember the medial Suffocation of 1993!!! hundreds of DR died wearing a mask. That the reason NO DR wears mask any more!!!
I remember that. When the government deemed wearing masks unsafe and banned masks for medical use. We lost so many brave doctors that day. :cry:

Probably because we haven't had a chance to do so yet, you dunce. But hey, if people like you keep up your belief that masks don't prevent, we will get the chance to study this.

The science of the efficacy of face masks dates farther back than 2020. The 2003 Sars epidemic would like a word with you.

I'm also aware typing fact check doesn't magically make the things I type facts. The things I type being true is what makes them facts.

0 peer reviewed studies prior to 2020 demonstrating the efficacy of a cloth mask against a airborne virus, that is a fact and you pulling shit out of your ass doesn't change that.

@jimbo13 also doesn't seem to understand that the length of time something has been established science is also irrelevant to whether or not the science says something is true. All that matters is the data.

See my post above.

Edit: it also didn't take me long to find studies older than 2020. Is your ignorance willful?
