Masks are proven to be effective against transmission. Countries with early mask mandates suffered much less than countries without.

I still fail to see the extraordinary “burden” “hardship”, “sacrifice” of - wearing a mask as a proven way to save lives?

Would you feel better if there was some medal attached, maybe “Great Hero of the Fight against COVID”?



I'm not interested in virtue signaling, thanks. That's the only benefit that mask wearers get.

Quite amusing to me that you jump to that. It speaks volumes about what motivates you.


Well you made it abundantly clear that the mere prospect of contributing to saving hundreds of thousands of lives means nothing to you, so I’m wondering what your motivation is to continue spreading your propaganda.


As an engineer, I'm not concerned with "mere prospects". I'm concerned with what is actually effective.


Wow, what kind of work do you do if you are unable to ever act without having 110% of the information? You can't be building anything, that's for sure.


Very telling you responded to this thread but not the other.

Are you ready to finally admit you were mistaken about covid vs influenza mortality in children? And to retract your slanderous statements that I was "lying", "spreading propaganda"?

I know it's much easier to snipe at me with snide comments like the one above. If that's all that you're interested in, rather than a substantive discussion, well, that wouldn't surprise me given the totality of our interaction over the past few days.
