Mask Mandates Do Not Stop Viruses

 A very detailed statistical statistical analysis by two biology professors on "Mask mandate and use efficacy in state-level COVID-19 containment" came to this conclusion:

In summary, mask mandates and use were poor predictors of COVID-19 spread in US states. Case growth 282 was independent of mandates at low and high rates of community spread, and mask use did not predict 283 case growth during the Summer or Fall-Winter waves

No Evidence that Lockdowns Work Part 3

If there is one chart the sums up the effectiveness of mask mandates, lockdowns and other restrictive measures, it is this one. Lockdowns may give you the illusion of DOING SOMETHING (and they clearly give government control over your life), but they do NOTHING to change the course of a virus.
