so if chemo works why do people still die of cancer
so if speed limits save lives why do people still die on the highways
so if medicine works why do people still die in hospitals
that's the level of argumentation being offered
sad
sad to see people being so dumb as to think this is a line of argumentation worth pushing
Before mask mandate adopted in North Dakota, deaths from covid in North Dakota 726 and deaths in South Dakota 568
Since mask mandate deaths in North Dakota 801, South Dakota 1,241
This is as close to a controlled experiment as we're going to get. Two very similar states. One intervention.
Before the intervention, more people are dying in North Dakota.
Post intervention, over 50% more deaths in South Dakota.
There have been actual studies done on this topic this year and for decades prior.
There is no evidence they work.
"I wore a mask yesterday and didn't get covid.that is evidence masks work"
/nsacpi
Look at THIS PROOF that masks dont work!!!

i'm sure you are aware of this, but you are too wedded to your bad faith style of argumentation to consider this:
No one claims masks are the only thing affecting the spread of covid...it is one of many variables....which is why it is useful to have experiments such as the 3 counties in AZ and ND and SD, where the other variables are fairly similar...so that mask wearing or a mask mandate is the the one difference
anyhow, I don't expect you to acknowledge this...you are too wedded to these obviously flawed bad faith arguments
i'm sure at some level you are aware of this, but your ideological blinkers overrule reason
