So have the anti-maskers been right all along ?

Don't know Anyone who had the flu this winter;
Don't know Anyone who had a bad cold.

That's enough for me. I will be wearing a mask next flu/cold season on public transport, crowded indoor spaces.

I agree completely. I don't know anyone whose had flu.. since all this started, so I will continue to wear mine.. but tbh I don't really get flu, I'm a big hand washer, way long before C-19...

However it's clear from this video that those masks do not prevent anyone catching C-19
 

So weird, right? Wonder why when anecdotally things were better. How are you doing since you had it? Any unwanted souvenirs from covid?
 
hmmm🤔 but maybe the Aerosol mist doesn't project as far when wearing masks? His glasses weren't very far away. But then again, he had 5 masks on and it went through so one mask would project much farther. Good video demonstration👍

I managed to avoid getting COVID when everyone around me at work was getting it and I was the only one in my department that was distancing and wearing my mask.

I think both the masks and the distancing play a role to keep things at bay. One co-worker wore his mask all the time but didn't distance and got it really bad.

I suppose you could blissfully ignore the science and physics of aerosol particles and the fact that unmasked states didn't suffer any more than masked states, not to mention Fauci privately saying masks were ineffective, and continue to believe and/or preach the mask gospel. The idea of that seems rather silly, but is likely a case of cognitive dissonance. People don't like to think they were duped into doing something. The problems with masks and aerosol were pointed out early on.

No. It stands to reason and is just common sense that a physical barrier such as a mask will help in limiting the spread of the virus. The N-95 mask is effective with a particulate size of 0.1 to 0.3 micron. Most people rely on simple cloth masks, which are better than nothing. Social distancing is part of the plan as well.

two things..we don't have states here so we can't compare state by state affliction with or without masks ... and altho' I have heard his name bandied around this forum, I really don't have any idea who Fauci is..I presume he's a doctor of some type in the USA

LOL, perhaps its best you don't ask about Fauci as it's been the subject in several locked threads. However, some think he's St. Fauci and others the devil incarnate. IMHO, he just another CYA bureaucrat who likes the limelight. Fauci is viewed as the main govt. pusher for masking and lockdowns. His department indirectly funded some of China's "gain of function" research and he pushed masking while privately telling people it was ineffective.

It may not have helped people PHYSICALLY, but it helped mask wearers psychologically and that is something. In the US it was a political statement. You wore your political affiliation your face at all times. I think that's basically what it was all about. For example, I thought it was ridiculous to see people wearing masks while hiking in the woods or while shoveling snow.

Dr. Fauci hasn't ever confirmed what party he is with. He's "just" a doctor and adviser...for 6 presidents of both parties. Not in the Cabinet. Not a lawmaker. However, his actions are telling.
