Here is an article from powerlineblog.com regarding a study of 35 European countries and the effectiveness of wearing masks stopping the transmission of covid.
The study looked at the time period October 1, 2020 thru March 31, 2021.
Bottom line, masks don’t work.
So Dr. Fauci, please provide all your studies – not your opinion – showing how masks are effective. Or are you just a wanna be dictator.
From the article:
Surprisingly, weak positive correlations were observed when mask compliance was plotted against morbidity (cases/million) or mortality (deaths/million) in each country (Figure 3).
I.e., more masks = more cases and more deaths. This is the study’s conclusion:
While no cause-effect conclusions could be inferred from this observational analysis, the lack of negative correlations between mask usage and COVID-19 cases and deaths suggest that the widespread use of masks at a time when an effective intervention was most needed, i.e., during the strong 2020-2021 autumn-winter peak, was not able to reduce COVID-19 transmission. Moreover, the moderate positive correlation between mask usage and deaths in Western Europe also suggests that the universal use of masks may have had harmful unintended consequences.
