To be fair there are all kinds of potential confounding factors that are difficult to account for.

E.g., if you're forced to wear a mask all day at work, you're more likely to have a job that requires constant contact with the public. I hardly ever wear a mask but I also WFH.

Not a pro-masker, just saying that the population based stats aren't a great way to measure efficacy without considering micro-level transactions. I will say that, in environments where mask-wearing is basically optional (e.g. large outdoor parks) the people I see wearing masks are constantly touching them, wearing them improperly, etc. That surely destroys whatever efficacy mask-wearing might have had.

The masks are useless.

Wearing them increases the chances of becoming ill. Period.

The worst consequence of mask wearing is psychological. Seeing masks everywhere makes people believe the virus is more serious than it is, which makes them more likely to be compliant when Orwellian mandates are issued to “control” the virus. Like the new 9pm curfew in Paris, France that is to last until March and this in Canada...

Not arguing with that point, just that this kind of statistical analysis is not particularly useful for demonstrating this in isolation of more detailed data.
