@Danger__Dean@ChrisThompson43@JamesMelville Let’s unpack this. 1. There is no evidence AT ALL after over a year that masks lessen the spread. Mask-mandated locations have done no better than mask-free regions? Feel free to show proof that they’ve actually lessened the transmission. 2. Wearing masks has several negatives.
@Danger__Dean@ChrisThompson43@JamesMelville Summary. A lot of scientific consensus that masks don’t work at all in preventing viral transmission. There is however a LOT of political consensus that they DO. I’m a scientist so I prefer scientific evidence. Please read all those studies. :)
@Danger__Dean@ChrisThompson43@JamesMelville There are a lot more studies I can link you if you’re not satisfied but please try to read those. That’s just a short list. If masks worked we’d have had much less transmission than we have had.
@Danger__Dean@ChrisThompson43@JamesMelville However sadly I suspect this won’t change your opinion. That’s the thing about mask-proponents. It’s “I believe they work so you’re wrong and no amount of evidence can change my opinion” versus “here is actual proof that unfortunately they don’t do anything for transmission”
