Bullshit study by an anti-masker cherry picking data to make himself look smart.

I guess the point is the “science” isn’t settled so people should be free to not wear masks; certainly mask mandates are a ridiculous idea, right?

First of all, fuck off with that “science isn’t settled” bullshit. You’re not hiding your agenda at all.
Second, fuck you. People die from COVID. Wearing a mask was the absolute barest minimum of common courtesy, and your lot bitched and moaned like you were neing forced to walk on Legos.
Third, go fuck yourself. There were no mask mandates. None. Hospitals, airports, and private businesses required them for obvious reasons but at no point was the government mandating masks. The CDC recommended wearing masks, and the anti-reality crowd flipped their collective shit.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to point our all the reasons your argument is bad and why you should feel bad for making them. You’re a piece of shit, and your stupidity contributed to countless deaths. Your ideas are a virus of stupidity, and the kindest thing anyone thinks about you is that you’re just a moron who has fallen for a grift. Everyone who isn’t a piece of shit hates you.
Go away.

It’s pretty countable. 1,187,509 deaths at the time of this comment. You made valid points, but were all of the personal attacks necessary?

I think our side would deny those deaths could possibly be attributed to covid (how would anyone check these stats?). Contrarily, many would point out the adverse effects from taking the “vax” as reported on VAERS

I think it’s an equal opportunity, your side doesn’t hesitate to push its agenda. We disagree. Ok. So can we come to agreement on which view is correct? We are about as confident as you are that your view is incorrect. So we would need to do something to come to agreement on the topic.
Honestly neither I nor you can prove this to be the case, but I doubt it, or doubt that it was significant. And here’s why:
scientificamerican.com/…/flu-has-disappeared-worl…
During “covid”, flu literally disappeared. Using Occam’s Razor, it seems much more easy to conclude that flu cases were misdiagnosed as “covid” cases. Add in the hysteria and fear and stress of conditions, that gives you the extra deaths (which I am not disputing, but am disputing the cause - at least it is open to debate).
There most certainly have been, at certain government facilities for example: reuters.com/…/us-homeland-security-department-imp…
Private businesses should also be criticized for their wrong and overzealous decision to require masks in our view.

You’re drawing the wrong conclusions from the article you linked. If you actually read it, you will see that they’re stating because masks are so effective at stopping the spread of airborne viruses, they also prevented most cases of the flu. Masks combined with the fact that there were less people going out overall led to a dramatic reduction in the number of flu cases. If you take anything away from that article, it should be that you should wear a mask when you have the flu or a cold too, just out of consideration for your fellow human beings.
Private businesses should be criticized for requiring basic safety measures during a global pandemic that have been widely proven to be effective for over a hundred years? Get off it, mate. All you’re basically saying is that you either wildly misinterpret data, you’ve been conned by people with a political agenda, you don’t care about other people at all, or any combination of those things.
