There has been no correlation between COVID deaths and places that have or have not instituted mask mandates. If masks were effective, you would expect to see at least some relationship.

That's definitely happening in most of the UK and its not making any difference.

There is no pandemic to stop.

I don't think this is true. Where I am. Everyone is wearing masks and doesn't help. In fact lots of new studies are coming out, like the Danish study that shows masks have no impact. Just looks like propaganda to me.

This "study" is trash. It's completely theoretical.

I can provide these dipshits with a couple of formulas that would suggest sugar cube suppositories can provide the same degree of prophylactic protection that these masks do.

This theory could be easily tested.

I call upon the authors, peer reviewers, and publishers of this paper to volunteers for this experiment.

They should be encouraged to wipe with this paper.

If the "conspiracy theorist" that wont wear masks and do not get tested when they feel sick, than it must be the mask wearing karnes that are catching it.

Everyone wears masks where I am in Texas, and has for months now, we still got new covid cases.

I'm pretty confident that if you live in certain countries covid is the least you should worry about catching on your way to work.

On the other hand, if your main worry is catching a std on the way to work, you have a hell of a fun commute!

... unless you're a girl on a bus in India which would be totally unfun.

Sounds like someone wrote some scary stories with no studies or evidence.

Only link in story was one to a page of a bunch of other studies
