Ok but you still can't come in my store without a mask because I don't want you killing my customers, even if they are old or sick

Then your customers will patronize a business that's not run by an hysterical, hand wringing, moral busy body that embraces fear and hyperbole instead of science and common sense.

Says the guy who denies the advice of health professionals and calls it societal suicide to wear a mask to save lives

I'm sorry your false narrative is collapsing and you are having to face the sobering reality that you were perhaps "mistaken" when you failed to do your diligent research to arrive at a truthful summation of events months ago. Time to "man up", stop projecting and be the bigger person by admitting you took an incorrect stance.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” -- CS Lewis

What about my stance do you think is incorrect?

The Covid scare is vastly blown out of proportion. Non N95 masks are ineffective at reducing the spread of anything.

The Covid scare is vastly blown out of proportion.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Confirmed Cases: 30639812

Death Toll: 954880

Non N95 masks are ineffective at reducing the spread of anything.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-mask/art-20485449

"Cloth face coverings are most likely to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus when they are widely used by people in public settings. And countries that required face masks, testing, isolation and social distancing early in the pandemic have successfully slowed the spread of the virus."

In conclusion, you're full of shit and acting like a child.

Friend I've had this conversation hundreds of times, and wing nut extremists like you lose every time.

Find more honest ways of promoting your premise by refraining from Appeal To Authority Fallacies. Wearing a lab coat does not magically make someone correct:

By using an appeal to authority, the argument is relying upon testimony, not facts. A testimony is not an argument and it is not a fact.

Learn to not only research, and reveal sources of sources, but also all of the fine print. Consider practising critical thinking.

Someone with critical thinking skills can: Understand the links between ideas.

Determine the importance and relevance of arguments and ideas.

Recognise, build and appraise arguments.

Identify inconsistencies and errors in reasoning.

Approach problems in a consistent and systematic way.

Reflect on the justification of their own assumptions, beliefs and values.

In the meantime congratulate yourself for your obsession with pathological virtue signalling while you harass your patrons.

Have you addressed his 30mil serious cases source, or the 1mil deaths (Minimum of 57k deaths without contributing factors, assuming the 6% rate), though? Or maybe you have some competing sources? Or atleast anecdotes? I was enjoying this exchange.

Wow, libtard epically destroyed, I bet your dick is massive. I hope you feel like a huge chad, because you discount Ben Shapiros helped the coronavirus kill 200000 Americans and counting, and for absolutely fucking nothing. Because you can't tell the difference between being contrarian and being intelligent. To think you act like you're winning something.

He didn't win by stooping to insults. Neither did you.

You're relying on the rigged numbers from the people who rigged the whole mess.
