        You really don’t get it.

        Masking and distancing were already well establsihed as early recommendations for flu pandemic strategies for decades prior to covid.

            the distancing thing literally was made up out of nowhere during covid.

            https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/03/harvard-experts-discuss-the-history-of-social-distancing/

            But the practice of “maintaining a greater than usual physical distance” goes back to the 14th century, when ships arriving to Venice during an outbreak of the Black Death were forced to quarantine, or sit at anchor, for 40 days.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_distancing#History

            Your mind seems trapped in a alternate reality of conspiracy, you should absolutely seek some therapy with a licensed mental health professional.

            but when you guys pretend that the Mayor of LA wouldnt have gotten covid if she wore a mask

            You are imagining a group of people working against you, and projecting your on religious-like belief against anyone not within your strict bubble of expectations of belief.

            The Mayor of LA needs to wear a mask to reduce the chance of her spreading it further. Wearing a mask when infected is actually the most useful case for masking. You can be infected without knowing it, so wearing the mask to reduce the particle spread even if you are not symptomatic is absolutely a good thing to do. Wearing a mask when not infected, but around other people, is not and was never posited as a guaranteed protection from infection, but from either side of the equation, infected or not, you still end up filtering even some amount of inbound particles when you are breathing with a proper mask.

            Arbitrarily claiming it doesn’t work or didn’t have any measurable difference, especially in the face of linked evidence by actual medical professionals showing it does and it did, demonstrates you are proselytizing belief built with actual misinformation.

        all of the major institutions were on onboard.

        The ones with the still-accredited doctors? Yeah, those ones, idiot.

        Hmm, should I trust scientists publishing actual studies that can control for differences… or the certainty unbiased information at covid charts quiz dot com. LOL

        Of course when it comes down to presenting “muh science” and “muh statistics” it is always links to shit like this with guys like you.

        Who are Tim Scott and Tom Woods and why should I believe they are able to interpret data in a way to make such a quiz in an unbiased way?

          What I understood from Tom Woods’s Wikipedia page is that he is a pro-Confederate libertarian.
