The mask is nothing more then the democrat MAGA hat -- except the hat will, at least, protect your head from sunburn. Eugyppius covered this best, but I am getting endless amounts of "well it did not say NO evidence -- probably under some situation somewhere someday ("dense room", "long trip", "whatever") the masks might help ("little evidence is not no evidence") so I will be wearing mine anyway.
And this from doctors. Makes my head spin just like the girl in Rosemary's Baby.
I know the real science is "little evidence". But until that is interpreted as "THEY DO NOT WORK" this will not end.
But is there evidence that masks might make you stupider by reducing one's access to oxygen and making one breathe in more CO2? Inquiring minds wanna know.
I think masks are a form of non-Rx Xanax for people with anxiety disorder; the progressive MAGA hat (as noted by another commenter); a strange form of liability coverage for the healthcare industry ("Look! We are doing everything we can to keep our patients and our staff *Safe*"). Clearly efficacy doesn't matter to the mask proponents.
Sigh. I wish my family member would be willing to just LOOK at this type of information. But the mere suggestion of, "Masks don't work", gets me, "Then why have medical professionals been using them forever?" Just absolute unwillingness. And since we're in the middle of a serious family situation, it's just not worth getting into an argument. Double sigh.
Just came back from Quest for routine labs, and they still have a mask mandate. We need to start pressing upon these groups that the mandate needs to end. My phlebotomist had no clue if it was going to change.

I figured out the right question to ask literally yesterday.

Silver lining: the masks make “them” easy to identify

Great post! Respectfully, however, a recommendation to change “poured” in the first sentence to “pored.”
Thank you for this.
