If masks are so effective why have countries that have mandated mask laws, even outside, like Germany and Italy — have had their COVID case rates expand by several hundred percent?
If masks are so effective, why has Sweden, which has no mandated mask requirement — has one of the lowest COVID cases rates in Europe and frequently has a daily death rate of zero?
Science uses empirical data, observation of the real world, to formulate theories and beliefs. It doesn’t matter what an epidemiologist or politician says, at the end of the day what matters is measurable observation.
In the last three weeks Italy has gone from 2,500 cases per day to 20,000 cases per day, an increase of 800%. All the while masks are mandated everywhere in public, even outside.
