Say boner

[

QUOTE=Knobcrk1;3220558]😂 Let me put it in a way that’s less diplomatic.

575,000 people have died from the virus the last 12 months. Typical influenza deaths

per year in the US, 12,000 to 61,000. That’s just deaths. And all these numbers are only because we all did what we did. What the real death numbers would have been had we not followed mandates? only fauci knows(sarcasm)[/QUOTE]

You should probably check the numbers again. Definitely not as good if not better than anywhere else. They’re in top tier for states that did worse, at least deaths per million.

Yay would you just look at all those southern states at the top of the list in deaths per million!

By the way. Florida and California essentially exactly the same in deaths per million. But but but Deathsantis.

In France, mask mandates had no effect or an inverse effect on COVID hospitalizations.

While I sympathize with the post above, the paper is not yet peer-reviewed and the authors explicitly state it was an academic exercise.

Peer review is important and it is reasonable to be skeptical of all scientific research.

Here is some peer review that is critical about facemasks. Not sure how slipped past the ideologues.

Since the paper is probably too long for most US Citizens to read, here's the conclusion. Yes is is based on science and data!

These are not conspiracy nut, snopes or crackpots.

About Elsevier

"The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of
wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19.
The data
suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to
block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such
SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19,
supporting against the usage of facemasks.
Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse
physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of
fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression,
fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for
viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression.
Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature
death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should
utilize prosper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to
wearing facemasks,
when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health. "

It's funny to see this title keep popping up when I went to Texas 2 weeks after it was posted and the municipality restrictions were still in place, businesses were not "open to 100%".
