This is an opinion piece. Comparing masks to seatbelts, helmets, or life jackets? Engineering is the wrong model. So, we should ignore all these studies that show masks are useless against respiratory viruses simply because people have used masks so much in the past? NEWSFLASH: Surgeons wear masks to create a sterile environment, so doctors don't cough or sneeze into an open wound and get BACTERIA in it, resulting in an infection. A virus is way smaller than a bacterium. I have to ask, though, do you wear an N-95, or do you wear a cloth mask? You were praising Biden for sending us all an N-95, which he never did. So, you must have agreed that cloth masks were ineffective. Which do you wear? Inquiring minds want to know. 🤷‍♀️

...Opinion piece.

Opinion piece in disagreement with a scientific meta analysis study that finds masks did not work...

Prime example of distorting science by disputing scientific evidence without presenting a similarly weighted counterstudy.

Science no longer matters to the left. Climate science is pseudoscience or junk science, for just one example.
