>> What blows me away is the right wingers never figured out that things like mask mandates were like red lights and stop signs that society puts up to prevent serious accidents. To date there continues to be no compelling scientific evidence that a mask prevented even one case of Covid. And even most of the peer-reviewed studies are total jokes. Like this one: Researchers (including a CDC doctor) for a February 2021 article published by the Journal of the American Medical Association reviewed data from 10 previous studies conclude mask wearing substantially reduces spread. They write that wearing a cloth mask can reduce transmission of exhaled droplets from infected wearers into the air by around 50% to 70%. Additionally, masks were shown to help prevent uninfected wearers from inhaling large respiratory droplets. Overall, the authors found mask wearing’s main benefit is source control, which protects others by reducing the number of respiratory droplets released, rather than respiratory protection, which protects the wearer. Peer reviewed. Just made-up bullshit. This is just another case of leftism gone nuts.
