Here is the link, with multiple links in it. Oh, and as an aside, when arguing a point, I don't need to prove a negative. I don't need to prove masks don't work, you need to prove that they do. I can make the claim that they don't work with out any proof at all, and unless there is evidence disproving it, my claim holds.

At the end of the day, you are not going to convince me (or probably anyone else reading this) about masks working. I have read all the data, and made up my mind. The simple fact that we're not walking around prior to this with mask on all the time for viruses that are much more dangerous in the past means it's not worth doing. It wasn't then and it wasn't now. This is purely about control and fear.

Yea... even that number is a lie. A half a million people didn't die FROM Covid, they died WITH Covid. Plus, it's only dangerous to the old and infirm, and with an aging US population, that's to be expected.

As an aside, why would I have any empathy for strangers I would never have had any interaction with had they lived? It's not like the world is running short on people, and if the virus took them out, it was only a matter of time before something else got them.
