The problem with an infectious agent is that it doesn't take a lot of people ignoring the protocols to render them ineffective (the same thing holds for computer security protocols BTW).
Oh but it didn't... We just carried out the hypothetical presumptions with data from around the country... States with a mandate had 58% higher rates than states with out. Same holds similar with schools that required masks and schools that didn't. Look at Florida and California. Similar populations, similar case rates but wildly different approaches to preventing the spread..

Using those particular Asian countries is not accurate. There's a theory that a particular TB vaccine that is widely distributed in those countries but not in western countries is the reason for the low infection rates.


The jig is up... The masks didn't do shit... And most everyone knows that.
