I've heard the response to this one. "Masks have been proven to work time and time again, The Science is settled on masks." Don't think you will kick back questions because that will come back with, "I don't have time to deal with you stupid anti-maskers just Google it."
I've been more anti-mask than anything, because I've yet to see any real world data that support them doing anything. Just like you said at best it's some really questionable real world studies. It's my opinion that making everyone wear a mask is a mental control measure, sort of in such that you've broken their spirit and now one is more likely to be susceptible to whatever other demands because they are not enjoying their normal life.
Not to mention the broken logic of it all. You're to tell me that there is a life and death illness in the air, yet I'm supposed to be totally okay if everyone wears a piece of cloth or paper on their face? Shouldn't those that believe this is life or death just choose to avoid optional activities instead? I thought they didn't want to die?
Yeah, that's the problem I run into. I've literally been in the position where I would tell someone that even "the science" says masks only reduce cases by 1.8% and they'll call me ignorant and send me an article that cites the exact study I was referencing. It's fun that they okey dokey themselves but when they realize it they fall back to "well it saves one life" and pretend it's the same as their previous argument that the only reason the pandemic is still going on is because of antimaskers.
The CDC recently (I read about it, not read the report itself) claimed masks work and cited 15 studies. Not one was a proper control group study! Zero!
Real studies, from Europe, say masks may barely work, but cause more harm than good with other medical issues being higher in the mask-using group.
Masks for children under 10? VERY BAD says the studies on those. Kids aren't big enough to breath with those things on, period. It's a sick world where people are told to put masks on their 5 year old...
