Fantastic post which I´ll share as much as possible. Actually my main fight here in Spain is double: First, make people understand that any cause of death whatsoever becomes an official"death by Covid" if it was preceded by a dubious positive PCR, which is the basis of the whole Covid scam. And second, the inefficacy of masks.

Here in Spain, masks are the main religion after 2020. People wear them driving cars alone, behind the bike´s helmet, walking alone in the wee hours, some wear them at home!, indoors, outdoors, with or without mandate (Right now, the mandate is for people indoors only, but basically 99% still wear them outdoors...). And although now the situations is very good (which doesn´t translate into a back to normal AT ALL), we have been world leaders or top-5 in infections and deaths per population for months, while living through a goddamn mask. People are pointing at the masking usage as one of the main factors of our extremely low Covid numbers, ignoring what I just said: they didn´t worlk when it mattered the most.

Regarding studies, I´ve read many, and know of many more, including metastudies (I hope that´s the word in English...) that comprised dozens. But the most compelling evidence is that if one watches the graphs with ordinate axis showing infections, hospitalizations or deaths, and abscissa axis showing the temporal line, it is IMPOSSIBLE (I will say again: im-po-ssi-ble) to point to the moment when they become mandatory. There is no flattening of the curve anywhere in the world. Not to speak about Sweden, whose mortality between 2020 and 2021 has been of absolute normality, and masks were never mandatory, not even indoors, with the late exception of public transport, I think.

And of course, there is something much more important that if they work or not: It is called moderation and common sense. You could prevent millions of deaths by closing roads. You just don´t fucking do it. You could avoid big numbers by drowning if you just fence off beaches and swimming pools. You just don´t fucking do it. Etc. And this takes me to the last point:

Be very careful with the "they don´t work" argument. We know they don´t. But if our argument is only "they don´t", they will work on them until they do. That´s a guarantee. We mustn´t wear one by force because it goes against everything that means restraint and common sense, in the same manner that we don´t wear a helmet when we walk around the city, and maybe we´d be avoiding deaths in fights, random accidents, etc. Be careful, because they are waiting for those kind of magical masks, and they will appear sooner or later.
