>> Filtration works. Its basic and fundamental modern science and technology.

Yes, filtration filters if it works well. That's its job.

We do not know that N95 masks worn by the general population without training work. We certainly have been cautioned that they don't.

We do know that paper masks don't filter well and cloth masks don't, either.

And we do know something about the outcomes where there were mask mandates vs where there we not:



"Their cumulative rates of Covid mortality were virtually identical, too (in fact, there were slightly more deaths per capita in the states with mask mandates)."

>> As with Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin you don't approach hypotheses critically.

I didn't "approach" them at all. I simply read competent studies performed in what I judged to be statistically sound analyses, and I found them both to be better than the alternative (which was, in effect, doing nothing -- telling patients to go home and come back to the hospital when they're dying, and can no longer live without a ventilator).

It was the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
